handicapped by not beng able to use
their best plays because of the three

exhibitions of straight football seen

played Springfield all down the line.
The bulldogs made some sensational
runs, which, however, netted them
nothing in the end.

kicking was superb, far outclassing
the work of his opponent. His drop
kick goal of twenty-three yards was
spectacular as it was made from a
very difficult angle.
Monett's passing was fine and
Chumbley's catch for touchdown was
one of the sensations of the game.
Black and Witte on the line held their
own against heavy odds. They are
light weights but were able to break
up many of the Bulldogs plays.

good gains in which the entire back
field showed their superiority over
their opponents. Their end runs
made great gains and brought
avalanches of cheers from the side
lines.
