with a ten-and-a-half-yard r u n \vhich gave our opponents their first and last fir t-down. In the next play the Gold and Black were thrown for a short loss, but the next two plays gained five and a half yards. Not having made the re- quired ten yards, they punted. The
ball £ell outside and was brought m on the 47-yarcl line. Immedi- a.tely after, Rogers made a short gain through the line and Frazier added seven tallie to it. H utter clipped off 8 more yard , giving us anotheT first-down. In three short
line plays V . E. S. only gained five
