When night fell over tho sccno of Inst night's calamity on tho Wabaah railroad near Seneca, those who had been Investigating tho disaster, had round nothing to alter tho estimate of about eighty lives lost as a result of tho collision. Superintendent George M. Burn of the division on which tho wreck occurred Insists that the estimates aro too high. "I do not consider," said he, "that the total death list Will exceed twenty." Howevor, In support of tho larger estimate It Is pointed out that there are now rourteen pasHongcrs known to be dead. The bodies of eight of theso havo been recovered and It In considered that tho fragments of other bodies now In tho morguo will account for many raoro than tho twelve dead taoccssary to mako up Superintendent lliurns' estimate of twenty.

In nddlllon to tho comparatively row fragments recovered nnd sent to tho morcue. thnun shn tir rnrly oa the sceno miy that many moro jiivvm woro uncovered which crumbled to powder while they were being romoved. llama Gives l.ovr Katlmate. Superintendent Uurns oald to the Associated Press tonight that he was unablo to tell tho exact number of Italian Immigrants aboard train No. 13, but thought that there wero not moro than llfty.

Passenger on tho train and a number of thoso who were early on tho scene dlsputo this and Bay tho number was nearor eighty. Superintendent Hums has received no report as yot from Ticket Colloctor Omen of train No. 13, who jirobably knows nearer than anyono else tho number of Italians In tho curs. Coroner Hamilton of Adrian this afternoon lmpanoled a Jury and will begin nn lnqueat Into tho disaster tomorrow morning. No flteps havo taken ns yet toward the arrest or Knglneer Strong whom Superln-tendent Bums says Is responsible for the collision.

Give Oend.aOieiiaiidred. Tho official list of tho' dead given to tho lot.al papors shows tho names of but ten lead and forty-elght injured, but Detroit newspaper men, who were at tho sccno of tho wieek and tnlked with survivors of both trains, nay that tho official list does not bear out tho statements of tho passengers nor evidence of loss of llfo they witnessed at tho spot where tho accident occurred. The Froo Proas tomorrow will say that the loss of llfo was, In round numbers, 100, and that tho statements niado by the Italian Immigrants on train No. 13 bear out this claim. Theso Immigrants say that tlioro wcro about 125 of their nationality on tho train and that only about twonty-flvo of thorn otcaped.

While there aro only ten of them known to be dead It Is asserted that the othor ninety were completely Incinerated and that with tho removal of tho wreckage the bodies crumbled to duBt, which was scattered by tho winds. If the names of thrso dead Rro over known It will bo when friends make inquiry for them and in nrany Instances this seems highly improbable. Onf Kyewltnesa in Wreck. A Tribune staff correspondent, writing of the scenes about tho wreck, says: "Only ono man was found who was an eyewitness to tho collision. A.

W. Kly, nn old man TO years of age, residing at Seneca, stood at tho depot platform nnd srw No. 13 go by. He watched tho train as It went down the lovol track to destruction. Ills Attention was arrested by a crash.

Then a stream of flamo and smoko shot 100 feet into tro-nlr. Kly rushed to tho wreck and was thp first outsider on tho ground. According to his statement the sccno wna one of awful horror. "When I got there- tho Immigrant car wan already on tire and thc'shrleks were terrible. I got hold of onr man in the collapsed car anil pulled him out, Ho was hnrrlby crushed and his legs wcro broken, Jlcdled almost as soon as I got him out of tho car.

Then I wont to tho burning cars nd what I saw made mo wish 1 had novor gono to tho wreck." Tho old man covered his faco with his hands. "1 don't bellove moro than fifteen of the Italians got out of tho wrecked car, for aw very fow. Those 'who could get out rushed around llko rrmy men, calling to heaven for protection and weeping and walling In tbolr horror. Thoso poor Italians! Nothing could be done to save them and we were s'mply compelled to let them burn." Cnnslderahln light was thrown on tho cause of the disaster by the orders which the conductor of No. 13 showed as his authority for proceeding past Sand Creek.

Tho order, which was delivered to the train at Hnllnway, read as follows; Order No. Trains No. J3 and 3. No. i.

englno (109, will meet No. 13 at Soneca, and No. 3, engine nt Sand Crock. Knrlnrn No. SI Hnd 161 will rtouble-head No.

IS, It is understood that tho engineer and conductor of No, 1 received a similar order at Montpeller, 0 but If so these orders were disregarded. If It develops that the orders Untied to both 'rains wero to the same It Is considered that the responsibility for tho disaster rests wholly with tho engineer and conductor of tho east-bound Continental limited, Desurlbr thp Wrrck, Engineer Parks of the rear engine on No. 1C han bis left leg broken and face cut. He doicrlbes the colllalon as follows: "We had older to meet train No, 4 at Seneca nnd were running about thirty miles an hour, The track is straight for several miles and I could see the headlight of No, 4 coming when we wero nbout three miles -Seat of Creek. I put the airbrakes and the shock came before I had time to jump.

SOME INJUREDJTAKEN TO PERU Sl of Trrenly-ITi Mt that Point Will Prolmhly lli Severn! Are Delirious, PERU, Nov. 2S. Twenty-flve per-sons who wore Injured in the Wabash wreck arrived this morning on a train traveling In two scutlons. Lucie Vlrglles and Trubuzzi Sllvestro, although frightfully injured, were able to talk brlofly. They were well acquainted with tho people In their party and say that 100 of tho Itnllans aro missing and unaccounted for.

Thero were not enough ambulances to carry the wounded to the hospital and many express wagons nnd trucks were pressed Into service. Among tho wounded at the hospital Is 12-year-old Carmen Pacr, who cries unceasingly for his undo. Ills uncle, however, Is dead, having given his own life to save the boy. The boys protector, whoso name was Thomas Oerbargo, had made his body shield to protect his nephew. Whan his lifeless form was picked up the boy was found under it only slightly Injured.

Amnug the injured here are: Robert Parks, engineer, right leg broken. Sam Works, engineer, right leg broken. Works and wero engineers on the double-header, No. 13. It la said here that James Drown, a porter on the Contlnentnl Limited, was killed In the collision.

All the local physlcans nnd surgeons who could be found were called to the hospital. It Is said of the wounded brought here six probably will die.

Too Slow for Denver nnd Loses (he llnltlc With.

In Six Minute. HARTFORD, Nov. 28. Knocked out in tho second round, of which one minute and forty-four seconds had elapsed, was the referee's verdict of tho fistic bat-Uo between "Young Corbott" of Denver. nnd Terry McOovern of Rrooklyn.

who has held tho featherweight champion-ship unflinchingly since ho won It from Cleorge Dixon eighteen months ago. Outwitted and outpointed, with a fighter Just tho same as himself, McGovern had to lower his colors this afternoon nt the Nutmeg Athletic club to "Young Corbett" within six minutes from the start of the fight. "Young Corbett," who outsldo of ring parlanco Is known as Hilly Rothwell of Denver, got the better of the champion in less than two rounds of fighting and he did it so perfectly that there was no doubt about It. The shock to the New York enthusiasts who crowded the boxing pavilion when tho llttlo champion was knocked out In the second round was a repetition of tho disappointment exhibited by the adherents of John L. Sullivan wbon Corbett defeated him In Now Orleans.

Terry Not Fast KiioukIi. Terry was as fit ns tho proverbial fiddle, but he wan not fast enough for his man. From the word "go" the lads went at each other llko gamococks and It looked as If either would go out lu the first round. Mc-aovorn got the worst of the opening round and In Jils endeavor to get in loft himself open several times, Corbett Just stood off McGovern on every lead and trick, but tho llttlo Drooklyn boy went on ns if thero wero nothing to It but the winner's end of tho purse. When McGovern was knockod down In tho opening round thero were cries of dismay from his backers, but his wonderful recuperative powers were cqunl to tho occasion nnd he was on his feet within seven seconds.

However, his downfall seemed to take It nut of McGovern, but ho fought tho round In chver stylo and tried hard to stom tho tide of defeat which soemed to have sot In against him. He tried all his rushing work, which proved so profitable) on former occasions, but Corbott met his every curve and countered hard on neck. Jaw and head. When Terry enme back to his corner at the end of tho first round ho said: "That's tho toughest guy I over met, but I'll lick him Just as soon ns I Bee an opening." That opening did not come very handily for tho New York boy, ns tho llttlo Deu-ver pugilist had then tnken his measure. Hushes Like Wild Mini.

Down went Terry again in the second round and when he got up quickly ho wished Ilka nlld man. He uhowtd n. lack of self-restraint and in burst of bad temper hit out left and right irrespcctlvo of all rules and usages. These tactics apparently wero Just what Corbott was looking for. Terry was mixing things up with whirlwind velocity and throwing science to tho winds.

It was anyone's fight at this stage, but Terry fell into a trap as Corbett feinted nnd sent his right out when McGovern was side-stepping. This blow Just grazed Mc-Oovern's head, but a moment later Corbott feinted again nnd, after rattling exchnngo, sent his light over to Jaw nnd Terry wont down nnd out. Whllo the fallen champion was frantically trying to regain htB feet the crowd yelled madly. Wins on Illn MrrlU. The referee declared that the, young Denver lad bad won.

He had won on his merits, as he took chance for chance. Terry was crestfallen after he roturned to his dressing room. He said: "Well, you can't tell how things can be accounted for. I hope to make another match with Corbett and I am moro than confident he will not be able to put It over me again." "Young Corbett" was very demure when he emerged from his dressing room. At first he was reluctant to talk, but finally said: "I was suro I could beat McGovern and my opinion was based on what I had seen and heard of htm.

I felt that I hail him from the first punch, but I wns cool-headed all through. When I began to sting him he losj. his head and when ho lost his head It was all over. I hod him right there and with a right swinging up-percut I landed the blow which won the battle." "Young Corbett" will remain hero for some days. Dave Sullivan was one of tho first to send a challenge to the winner as soon as Charlie White, the announced his decision, Klitlit lr Hounds.

Round One McGovern tried for nn opening with Ills loft nnd sent tlm right to Corbett's Jaw. They cllnrhed. In the mlxup both Innded lefts. They exchanged lefts on the face and Mcaovorn, rushing again, sent his left to the body and right to the head. Corbett was short on his leads and Terry bored him to the ropes with a hard right over the heart.

McOovurn ducked a left swing and landed Ills right clean on tho oye, forcing Corbett to tho ropes. Corbett came back plucklly with a left on the body, which was countered with right over the henrt of his opponent. McGovern led again with his right, landing on his opponent shoulder, nnd Corbott canio back with a hard right over the heart, Binding McQoveni back, but tho Drooklyn boy retorted with right nnd left, only to bo met with a swing on the Jaw which sont him on bin back. He Jumped to hts fect Immediately and went at Ills opponent hammer and tongs on the chest and face, forcing him to Ills knees. Corbett got up Hnd tho round ended In ono of tho hottest mixes on record, with honors nbout even.

Terry I. ours Ilia Head, Round 2 McGovern rushed In with a loft to the body and tho men clinched. A rapid exchange of rights and lefts followed. Corbett wns on tho defensive and met Terry's rushes with straight jabs. Suddenly ho brought up his left, upper-cutting McGovern and sending lilm to the tloor.

McOovern took five seconds of the count nnd cume back like wlldman with left and right swings. Science was thrown to the winds nnd the hoys began slugging, McGovern was very wild and they made a half circle of tho ring righting In this manner. At stnge It looked like anybody's fight, should one of tho vicious blows land. Corbett kept his bend and seemed to bore In better; his body bloww wcro apparently no stirrer than thotw of his opponent; however, he kept on forcing McOovern half across the ring and finally Terry forgot his defense. He simply saw a hurricane of blows coming townrd him and there was no guarding on his part.

Suddenly a right, swinging uppercut landed squarely on the point of his Jaw and McGovern wi-nt down nnd out. He was rendered unconscious, but It was evident to all preient that he knew the championship hud taken wings, an he made wild efforts to regain hi feet, Ilefereo White called off ten 'econds, while McGovern valiantly struggled. Corbett stopped back In nbadteuce to the referee's gesture, nllhoush he evidently wns In doubt ns to his fallen opponent's condition, McOovern had given lilm such (Continued on Fourth Page.)

ill it ns 10. (From a Stnff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. Telegram.) wguteen to ten was tho result of tho game which gavo tho Cornhuskers tho championship of tho states of Nebraska, Kansas nnd Missouri this afternoon. It was a spectacular nnd fiercely fought contest. Throughout tho first half, defeat ror the Nobrnsktttw seemed Inevitable.

Tho Indian braves kept piling over tho Nebraska lino and tho playing was all onesided. Tho visitors had tho wind, novoral inopportune fumbles and two qiiestlSnablo decisions In their favor, but whllo nil these contributed to their success that half, their playing was admittedly superior to that of tho Nebraskans. Hut thero wns a declslvo chnnae In tho second half nnd in whirlwind fashion tho CornhUBkors smashed tho Indians' strong defense for long nnd sensatlounl gains. Plllsbury, Hell nnd Render onch crossed tho line for a touchdown nnd thrco goals wero kicked by. Drain.

Tho Indians showed marvelous strength In tho lino nnd In this single department was Nebraska's only weaknefs. Comparatively llttlo dlstanco was made around tho ends, but on straight line bucking moat of the ground was made. Tho game was ono of the most stirring nnd enthusing exhibitions of foot bnll over witnessed on tho Nebraska campus. It meant much to both teams and both fought with a determination seldom seen. Tonight tho champions aro being ban-quoted nt the Lincoln hotel by tho University Athletic board.

Tho ovent today was tho climax of the most successful season over experienced by a Nebraska team and tho hospitality of the board knows no restrictions against tho men who carried tho scarlet and cream on to victory. Winn Toss. Nebraska won tho toss and at 2:35 'tho pigskin was carried Into tho center of the field for a klckoff of thirty-Ova yards by Drain. Tho Indian who caught tho ball wns downed in his tracks, but In tho first play tho CornhUHkcrs wero backed down tho field for a dlstanco of thrco yards. On tho second down tho Nebraskans recovered tho ball on fumblo and then began a series of tprrlflc and effective lino bucks nnd end runs, but In tho first attempts tho distance gained was but slight.

Then five yards was gained through tho Indians' left end. Tho playing of both teams was fast and furious, but. tho Indlnns took a decided brace against tho Cornhuskers' onslaughts uml recovered the ball' whu.r It irni. ten yards of their goal. A straight dash through Nebranka's ccntor gavo tho Indians flvo yards, Nebraska's defenso crumbling awny In front of tho Indians as they concentrated their energies nt tho ono point.

A slight but temporary lujury to Captain Westover, from which ho quickly recovered, gavo tho Cornhuskers a clmnco to recuperate, and in tho next down tho Indians wero forced backwurds with tho ball. A punt then took tho ball twouty yards into Nebraska's territory and Drain carried it back half that distance. Tho first down the dlmlnutlvo quarter, Ralph Drain, took tho ball, eluded his pursuers and advanced around tho Indians' left end for olght yards. Tho Indiana Rocmed unable to withstand the torrlllo work of the Nebraskans, who kept gaining steadily, but an unlucky fumblo lost tho bail to tho visitors and Nebraska was again on the dofenBlvo, ten yards from tho center of tho field, anl ir. tho Indians' territory.

Across Nchrnakn'a Gonl Line. The ball wns carried a short dlstanco over tho centor line and falling to got distance In two downs the Indians made a long pant, low but swift, straight down the field and across Nebraska's goal line, Plllsbury, who was playing far back of the Nebraska line, was hot after tho bail, but missed It by several yards, and It sped on Its course untouched. A Nebraska man caught it, however, and mndo a touchback. The ball was kicked back forty yards, nnd falling to get distance an downs goal from tho field wnB attempted by Fallls, tho Indian right half, resulting successfully. The ball passed directly botweon the ppsts and was as clean a gonl ns was over seen on the Nebrnskn field, kicked from a distance of forty yards, and scoring tho Indians flvo points.

Nebraska kicked off Into tho Indians' territory, but recovered tho ball through a fumblo In the second down. Then Coach Booth's alwuys reliable and offcctlvo double-pass trick was put Into operation. Drain took the ball and was far around the Indlnns' right end before, they had recovered from the surprise, gaining nbout twenty yards by the maneuver. Tho rooters and all tho spectators Joined In a tumultuous cheer and tho Cornhuskers came quickly into position again to continue the ndvance. Rut 111 luck again played havoc with them.

A fumblo gave an Indian tho ball nnd a clear flold. hut ho wns downed aftor a short run. Again the Indian got around Nebraska's right end for a gain of ten yards batons ho was downed Just outside of the sldo line. The next two downs failed to give tho Indians any headway and a punt for sixty yards was made, taking the ball twenty-flvo yards into tho Nebraska territory. Drain caught the pigskin, but tho Indians wcro upon blm and ho was downed after advancing a few yards.

Goal Attain In Dmiuer. Still another fumble, this ono by Bell, gavo the rcdrocn tho ball nnd it was carried ten yards nearer the Nobrnska goal. On tho next down tho Indians were penal-lied ten yards for offside, leaving the ball twenty-flvo yards directly in front of tho goal. Bain, the Indian right tackle, was given the ball and kicked a clear goal from tho field, which brought the score up to 10 points. Nebraska again kicked off from tho center and after one down, which resulted unsuccessfully, tho Indians kicked forty-five yards Into the Negraska territory, hut wero po-nallied the entire distance for holding, thus bringing tho ball back to tho point whore the punt was made.

The Cornhuskers partially regained their lost spirits, straightened up their defense, and forced tho Indians to resort to puntlnj, which gavo the Nebraskans, the ball Just beyond tho center of the field, but In their own territory, rillsbury went straight through tho solid lino of redmen for a gain of five yards.

HELD FOR LINCOLN MURDER C. lleyrood Arrested nt llnvelock In Connection M-llh John J. lilllllun's Uenth. (From a Stnff Correspondent.) Nov. 28.

(Special Telegram.) Dctcctivo Mnlonn tonight nrrcsted C. H. Heywood at Hnvclock on suspicion of being implicated in the of John atlli-In. 'TW. Vndor.

tho chfirire of burglary, but it Is announced that tho county nttornoy will assume control of the caso tomorrow and file the necessary complaint to bring him to trial if he thinks the evidence at hand will Justify htm In bo doing. According to tho story told by tho police Heywood and man named GeorgeV ArnoM arrivod in Lincoln two days boforo tho murder and engaged a room in a downtown tenement. They frcquontcd saloonsand other resorts nnd wero socn In company with known criminals. Tho night of the murder, prior, to 9 p. the men were seen in eevernl saloons, but after the tlmo mentioned their whereabouts had not been accounted for until they wero both found camping a few days later on tho stato farm ucar tho city.

Their room wns not oecu-pjed tho night of the tragedy. Arnold was arrested nnd kept In Jail sixty days, but he denied any knowledgo of the affair. His pal, Heywood, eHcapcd arrest and the police have been on his trail ever since. The evidence ngalnat Arnold was alight and he was released. Arnold and Heywood have both served terms in tho penitentiary.

Tho former is a civil war veteran and the latter a young man of 28, for a short time a mechanic cm-ployed in the Havolock shops. "Tho oillllan murder Is solved," said Detective Malone, "nnd the legal authorities now have tho caso In their own hands. I do not know what course the county at-, torney will pursue, but I presume a complaint will bo filed charging Heywood with" murder. We don't know whero Arnold Is nnd don't care, for wo believe that Heywood Is tho nwn responsible for the crime." Arnold wns Hiirprlied by the detective while he was visiting relatives at Havolock. He was told ho was wanted on a burglary charge and no mention was mndo of tho real suspicion that rested against him.

Tho police authorities insist that the murder of Glllllnn wss the, result of an attempted holdup nnd havo worked on this theory practically to the exclusion gf all others. DINNER AT WHITE HOUSE President nnd Mrs. tlnoaevelt ICuter-talu Party of Friends ThnnksaclTliiK, WASHINGTON. Nov. 28.

CROWD AND EVENT ARE SENSATIONAL Four Thonsnnd Mtithuslnata Cheep Ilonhlr-llended Atteruoon'a Which Merits tho Warmest Support. Omaha lltBrh School 11, (Senna Indians U. Crelathtnn University II, Lincoln Medics O. Four thousand people voiced their exultation at the double victory of Omaha foot bnll teams nt Young Men's Christian Association park yesterday and tho youth of ths city wus loose in wild demonstration last night, for both tho teams of locnl gridiron athletes had won and tho dual achievement was one to bo duly Six to 0 was tho scoro by whlrh th Crelghton university team defeated tho Lincoln Medics, and tho Omaha High achool lads wero victorious over the Genoa Indians by a score of 11 to C. Tho fact Hint both games wero so close helped to mako the occasion most memorable In Omaha fool ball circles.

It wan a great crowd that attended this, tho culminating ovcut of the foot ball season for the two big Omaha teams great In every particular. Tho grandstand wa packed, both aides of the field nud both ends were mass of spectators, behind tho crowd on tho north side wcro many carriages and to top It all the row of high trees Just outsldo nnd to tho cast wero bout far earthward under a lood of youthful human fruit. Both games wero so closo that every sympathizing heart was nn i strain till tho clode. Not till the last half mlnuto of play did tho High school boys snatoh a victory and thtro wns but ono touchdown and a gonl between the Crelghton team and tho doctors when tlmo was called. Prnreedlnira Arc IliislncHsllUe.

Probably the most coinmcndnbla feature of tho enflro contest, because of Its novelty, was thn smoothness with which tin machinery of the management worked, A host of Omahnna was out to spend Iti holldsy and the time was not exhausted with futile qulbbllngs and delays In 'getting i nuits. ta rr'o: rtnr-pjVpyf iifpol tsvlng bofh gnmcs of iwsuty-ttve-ralrjute halves was abandoned and ns consequence It was still broad daylight when tho event ended, with tho clocks only ktrlklng (Ho hour of S. Just before tho game occurred ri little incident that was one of tho prettiest features of tho An opon cnrrlago entered the gate nnd rolled up along tho north side of tho field. In It sat boy with dnrk curling hair and a rnther pnlo face. It was long caring across that field, but tho oyes of tho Omaha High school youths In tho grandstand woro kecno enough for It, nnd It did not take them long to herald tho visitor.

"Coryell! Coryell! Coryoll!" fthey screamed and in a moment tbo whole 'field had taken up tho cry. It was, Indeed, tho High school halfback, sufficiently recovered to attend the last game of the season and bco his teammates victorious for the last time. From then on "What's thn matter with Coryoll?" was as often voiced as any other slogan, and tho rcsponsn alwnys came with a will. Tho boy'a father and mother were with him. Of nil the forty-seven players who struggled and strained on tho field thero was Just one man who stood out from all thu rest ns of plainly dlffs'ront class nnd clay.

Many stars thero wero, but only ono Porter, and the wonderful little Indian fullback was tho causo of many a short breath In the forty minutes that ho played foot ball. In tho very first mlnuto of thn Omahn-Indian ga, ho executed a coup of thn in oh billllniii older, making a dodging run on a klckoff through tho entire field for thirty yards that then nnd there stamped his work ns phenomenal. Nor did he let tho standard lower. Every play brought out more of his nbllltles, nnd when the wholo affair wns ended, every discussion of tho afternoon invariably roverted to Porter and closed with tho words: "Hut my, that fullbacK'." Porter la a Good Indian. Tortor is not so big, for many of his mates are larger.

He weighs only 169 pounds with hts foot ball togs on, and stands about five feet, seven inches. Nor is he experienced In the garpo, for it was only three years ago that "Quowczentz," ns hU Chippewa parents named him, wns living in tho northern woods of Minnesota In a wigwam nil tho year 'round, knowing no word of English, and for sustenance depending upon the lnkes in tho summer and tho forests in the winter. Hut fate nnd an ambitious father sent thn boy to Genoa and now nt the age of although he la only in the common grades us a scholar, "Quewezentz" is capable of playing a game at fullback the like of which has never been seen in Nebrnskn. It is not only that he starts llko shooting star, that ho runs like a deer, that ho dodges like a rabbit, that he tackles llko a low-hung flying machine, that he crawls and slides and slips like an eol, that hn plunges like battering ram and that ho hurdles like a hunter. Thero was something olso about the silent little Scott Porter.

There was some In-definnblo air nbout htm that made him captain whether he had been one or not, that stamped blm a leader, that mado his men bang to him like leeches and support him like legions of chivalry. Was It Was hypnotism? Whatever It was, thn quality would make him a place on any team in the country today. Lumlnarlra Xot In the Constellation. Stellar attractions of a different variety were Count Crelghton and Mayor Moores, When the wblKtle for the start of the drat gamo was about to sound these two gentlemen appeared upon tho field amid loud huzzas, Tho count then proceeded to kick off for fully four yards, at which Mayor Moores seized tho ball and returned It to tho center, when ho booted it In the othor direction. This formality ovor and the people satisfied that all waa squaro and abnvn board, tha ronl games began, Thn Crelghton team and tho Medics played two llfteon-mlnuto halves, Th Continued on Fifth rate.) 1.
