tty punting exhibition by both teams, for, wisely or unwisely,
Southby accepted the challenge and punted almost as often as her
adversary. That third period supplied many thrills but no scoring, for
although Brimfield did manage to get the ball on Southby's
twenty-five-yard line when a back fumbled, the advantage ended there.
Two rushes failed, a forward pass grounded and when St. Clair tried to
skirt his own left end he was pulled down just short of his distance and
Southby soon punted out of danger.

When time was called both teams made several substitutions. Don yielded
his place to Harry Walton, Crewe went in at right tackle and McPhee took
Carmine's position at quarter. With the advantage of the wind no longer
hers, Brimfield abandoned the kicking game and used her backfield for
all it was worth. From the middle of the field to Southby's thirty yards
she went without much difficulty, St. Clair, Martin and Tim Otis
carrying the ball for short but consistent gains. But at the thirty
Southby braced and captured the pigskin on downs by a matter of inches.
It was then that Elliston repeated. Following two attempts at Pryme's
position, which yielded a scant four yards, Elliston got away around
Steve Edwards's end and, with some good interference for the first ten
or twelve yards, passed the whole field except McPhee and was only
brought down by that player after he had run to Brimfield's twenty-six
yards.

Southby's adherents cheered wildly and demanded a touchdown, and it
looked for awhile as though their team was to give them what they asked
for. Southby twice poked a back through the centre of the
maroon-and-grey line and then tore off ten yards around Clint Thayer,
Steve Edwards being put wholly out of the play. Then, however, Brimfield
dug her cleats and held the enemy, giving a very heartening exhibition
of stubborn defence, and again Southby decided that half a loaf was
better than none and tried a field-goal. She ought never to have got it,
for the left side of her line was torn to ribbons by the desperate
defenders. But she did, nevertheless, the ball in some miraculous manner
slipping through the upstretched hands and leaping bodies and just
topping the bar.

Those three added points seemed to spell defeat for Brimfield, and many
of her supporters in the stand conceded the victory to Southby then and
there. But the team refused to view the matter in that light and came
back fighting hard. With only some seve
