Throughout the game this Birmingham boy was the leading star in Spring Hills constellation with his generalship at quarter, but it was McEvoy who follow ed his instructions with orders with such efficiency that the Bulldogs were battling q defensive game from the start.

On the defense they missed tackle nfter tackle as the Mobile backs walked :. through the line for long gains. Only Casey seemed able to get any drive into his line smashes, while Mccarthy on a few occasions went through with piunges that carried the ball down the field for sizeable gains.

The Spring Hill players also protested while from the press box 1t appeared that Halloran really never was nearer than a yard to the side line. The half ended before Spring Hill could run more than one more play.
 Howard tacklers found McEvoy an elusive target throughout the game and he was up again often after being knock ed down and twisted loose many times after apparently being stopped, Bril- liant passing by Grill accounted for many long gains for the Birmingham boy hurled true and straight to his team mates.
