MARION DEFEATS. SPRING HILL 1914
Cadets Stage Big Come Back To Win In Last
 Quarter

MONTGOMERY Ala. Nov. s.-(Spe- cial Leased Wire .)-The Marion In- stitute Cadets sprung a surprise at Crampton bowl this afternoon com ing strong in the last half and shov- ing across a touchdown in the final quarter to defeat the Purple Hurri- cane, Spring Hill college, by the score of 14 to IS. To Wolfee, Marion quarterback, comes back the credit of the victory, for his dropkick for the extra point after touchdown went true and enabled his teammates to emerge from the game leading the Hillians by one-point margin.
 Spring Hill scored it's first touch down shortly after the opening of play. Marion received and was forced to punt after two line plays and an attempted forward pass failed to net first down. Spring Hill returned the oval to Marion's 41-yard stripe and after Ed McEvoy and Brinskelle had gotten first down, Brown tossed forward pass to Ed McEvoy who ragged his way across the Cadet goal line. Brown dropkicked goal.
 In the second quarter Gray, speedy Cadet back, tied the score and brought thrill to the stands by dashing, 54 yards on a criss-cross double pass to a touchdown. Gray evaded three tacklers and shook off two others on his run for the Spring Hill goal. Wolfe tied the score by drop-kicking goal
 It took Spring Hill but two min utes to score their second and last touchdown after the play: Marion | hnfr yard marker and Ed McEvoy re- turned it 35 yards before he was downed H. McEvoy then tossed & 20-yard pass to Browne, who raced the remaining yards across the Cadets goal Browne missed the goal after touchdown.
 Winning Counter.
 The Cadets scored their final touch down in the fourth quarter after Spring Hill's tumble was recovered by Grey on Spring Hill's 46-yard line. A forward pass from Solwick to Wolfe placed the ball on the Hillians' 6-yard line. They lost the ball on downs, however, but after Spring Hills punt out was returned to the 25-yard line by Grey, line plunges by Grey, Wolfe and Samuels advanced it to Spring Hills 1-yard stripe,  where Solwick showed it over for a touchdown. Wolffe's goal by drop kick united the tie and won for the Cadets by a 1-point margin. The game ended with the ball in Marion's possession on Spring Hilrs 15-yard line.
 For Spring Hill the defensive work of Ching and Cassidy was the best of the field. Bogue, McEvoy and Browne, did most of the ground gaining for the Hillians. They were speedy and evaded Marion's tacklers numerous times by their clever side steppings.
 The entire Marion backfield seemed able to gain off the Hurricane tack lers and around end. Grey was the outstanding offensive star of the af- ternoon. Wolfe and Samuels, other backs, and Murphree and Vickery, in the line. played the best football for Marion.
