en- on the Normal gridiron by {
score of 8 to 0. Heavy odds were
being offered on the visitors pri-
or to the game, most of the fans
expecting them to win an easy
victory. However, Eastern turn
ed the tables on them and out
played Cumberland by a wide
margin. In the first half Eastern
made seven first downs while
Coach Jones' men could not chalk

ter, Eastern looked good for an
other but lost their chance thru
a tumble. In the second half the
locals played a defensive game,
holding Cumberland to two first
downs while they collected the
same number The whole East
ern eleven played exceptionally
good ball every man coming in
for his share Of the good work.
Powell's line plunging was prob
ably the feature of the combat.
Moberley and Hurst were not
far behind him in carrying the
ball. while Stone also made some
nice gains besides proving him
self to be quite a field general.
On the ends Covington and Word
got everything that came in
their directions, getting both the
interference and their men. Carr
at center, Lewis and Baker at
tackles and Triplett and Spencer
at guards did fine defensive work
and opened great holes for the
Eastern backs to ploW thru. Ev-
cry man was star.
The game opened with Cum
berland kicking to Eastern who
defended the west goal. 1t was
Eastern'S ball on her IS yard
line. A pass from Stone to Word
netted 20 yards and a first down.

was forced to punt when a pass
was not completed and Stone
failed to gain thru the line. Stone
punted over the goal line, the
ball being put in Cumberland's
possession on her 20 yard line.
Cumberland then punted to her
3 yard line. Powell made four
yards thru the right side of tie

thru the same spot. Powell made
another there before Hurst went
thru center for a touchdown. Mo-
berly gained half of the ten yards
around right end but when Cum
