ed himself through centre for the distance, and Brimfield cheered
loudly when the linesmen pulled up stakes and trailed the chain ten
yards nearer the centre of the field.

A second forward pass was caught by Holt, but he was brought down for a
scant three-yard gain. Once more Rollins attempted the centre of the
blue line, but this time he was stopped short. On third down Rollins
punted and Claflin caught on her forty and ran the ball back to the
middle of the field. Claflin then found Crewe for four yards and
completed her distance on a straight plunge between Gilbert and Thayer.
It was the Blue's turn to cheer then and she performed valiantly.
Claflin tried Edwards's end, but made nothing of it, poked Cox past
Crewe for a couple of yards, made three around Holt and then punted. St.
Clair misjudged the distance and the ball went over his head and there
was a scamper to the goal line. Carmine finally fell on the ball for a
touchback and the excitement in the stands subsided. Brimfield smashed
Otis at the Blue's centre and reached the twenty-five-yard line. St.
Clair made three on a skin-tackle play at the right and Rollins got the
distance on a plunge after a fake-kick. Brimfield again made first down
on the forty-two yards and her supporters howled gleefully. A moment
later they had new cause for rejoicing when Rollins pegged the ball
across the field to Edwards and the Maroon-and-Grey's captain scampered
and dodged along the side of the field for thirteen yards before he was
tackled. Time was called for a Claflin back and Brimfield drew off for
a consultation, the result of which was seen in the next play.

Carmine called Gilbert to the right side of centre, the backs spread
themselves in wide formation ten yards behind the line and Steve
Edwards, as the first signal began, ran back, straightened out as the
ball was snapped, raced along behind his forwards and swept around his
right end. Claflin's right end and half-back plunged outside of Thayer,
were met by St. Clair and Rollins, and Carmine, having taken the ball on
a long pass from Thursby, raced past them and then swung quickly in and
found an almost clear field ahead.

Two white lines passed under his twinkling feet and then, near the
twenty, he was challenged by a Claflin back. Carmine eluded him, crossed
a third line, found himself confronted by the Blue's quarter, attempted
to slip by on the outside, was tackled and borne struggling across the
side line and
