 AT BESSEMER HI
Harris And Goodwin Are Big Stars Of Game
 Friday


 defeated Bessemer before large gathering of fans at the rolling mill field Friday afternoon by a score of IS to 6, in what proved to be one of the hardest fought games of the sea- son. Lanier showed the better form of the two teams. keeping Bessemer on the defensive during the larger part of the game. although the Tigers came out from under and gave the Poets several spurts of exciting plays.
 Lanier scored the first touchdown early in the second quarter, when Bessemer flunbled on a snapped ball on her own 20-yard line. The Bes- semer backs missed the ball which rolled behind their goal and was fallen upon by M. O'Brien. Brunson failed to kick goal.
 Up to this point Lanier had been going through Bessemer's line for several big gains, but the touch- down seem to put spirit into the Tiger play, rather than to have depressing effect. Later in this quarter. Goodwin received a Lanier punt on Bessemer's 40-yard line and returned 55 yards in a run to Laniers 5-vard line On the next play, J. Granger carried the ball over center for Bessemer's goal, but failed to kick goal. The half ended with Bes- semer having abandoned defensive tactics and Goodwin made several end runs for varying gains. J. Granger, Bessemer's full back. did some excel lent line plunging. Lanier up to this point depended more upon their weight against Bessemers line. Lander Completes Long Pass.
 At the end of the third quarter Lanier completed a long forward pass, Pickett to Lipma.n, which, followed by a spectacular broken field run, carried the ball 50 yards to Bes ming of the fourth quarter, Sawyer bucked the ball over on the third down. J. ORrien kicked goal Bes- semer showed her fighting spirit at this point. proving that she has one of the best defensive squads produced here in years.
 In the middle of the last quarter Lanier uncorked some beautiful for warding passes, one. Lipman to P. OBrien, which was completed, car ried 30 yards over the goal but Lanier was penalized for roughing on the play This was the second penalty for roughing in the game, Bessemer having drawn one earlier. The game ended with the teams in the middle uf the field, after shifting back and foxth on passes and end runs through several exciting plays. Lanier had the edge on Bessemer in weight.
 For Bessemer, Armstrong played a great game at tackle, while. the run ming of Goodwin, and of Captain J. Grange, although crippled. was a big feature. W. Grange, at end, was hard man to block out of the plays and was a big defensive factor. Me Neil got off several long punts, when his goal line was threatened.
