Perhaps It waa the shifting of the mea occasioned by the loss of Lee Maxwell that eaased some of Chlcago'a mea to fall la blocklag thoae end plays, aome which were ao open that one wonders they gained ao well.

Michigan baa a great team. Coach "Hurry TJr." Yost's football machine from the University of Michigan played Its annual game with the University of Chicago eleven on Marshall field yesterday afternoon and won by a score of 21 to 0. A victory for the Wolverines was generally expected, but the score was a hard blow to many a Chicago man who loyally bet his money that Michigan would not roll up moro than eighteen points. The game between the pride of Attn Arbor and the men coached by A. Alonzo Staggwas the best that has been seen here this season.

It was hard fought all the way, and not until the whistle blew at the end of the second half did the big crowd of spectators fully real Ize how badly the Maroons had been de- feated. i Michigan's powerful, grinding offense was too much for the Chicago men. They worked valiantly and put up a game that was a revelation to those who were disposed to discount the Midway team on account of some of Its games with minor elevens. But It was no use. Fiercely as the Maroons attacked-their opponents on offense and doggedly as they plunged Into the Wolverine line on defense, they could not get the advantage.

Even so, however, Michigan had no walkover. Of the twenty-one points scored by the visiting eleven ten were the results of goals from the field. In each half Michigan secured a goal from a place kick and a touchdown. Chicago never really came close to scor-lag. Jn the second half at one time the Maroon offense worked wonderfully, well.

It seemed as It Michigan could not stop It. From tile Chicago forty-yard line the mea whom Stagg has been worrying over night and day fqr the last week rushed the ball to th Wni- verine twenty-threeyard line. Here Michl-1 a oraoea up ana nem for downs. Maroons Lose Hope. After that Chicago probably lost hope' of making a touchdown.

The did not despair of scoring, and twice late in the sco- 'Ond half tried for a goal from a place kick. But the attempts were futile. They were the forlorn hope of the Maroons, and, although the Chicago mea struggled bitterly to the end, they were outplayed, beaten, and, worst of all, shut out. The tricks looked for from the Chicago team re not forthcoming. That is, those that were tried were sensationally successful.

On the other hand, Michigan made use of double passes and delayed passes with wonderful effect The first touchdown made by. the Wolverines was the result of a delayed pass. It was made shortly after Sweeley had sent the nail, spinning between the goal posts for the Erst five points for Michigan's score. Mich igan got the ball, after Chicago had punted, on its own forty-yard line. The teams lined up.

the ball was-put In play, the Maroon-Jer-aeyed players dove into the scrimmage, but Heston received the ball on a slow pass and. avoiding the pile of struggling players, raced down the field seventy-five yards for a touch- down. Thete was practically only one of the Chicago men who had a chance to capture the flying olyerine. This one was Captain 6heldon. but he did not have a good opportunity to tackle the runner.

Heston neatly side-stepped the blond-haired Maroon captain and continued bis tprint toward the Chicago goal. He did not rest until he bad planted the ball squarely between the Maroon goal posts. Plaadlts for Heston. lie ton got round after round of apDlauae from the enthusiastic Michigan rooters who tiled the west bleachers. Most of those who cheered the half back had seen him only two weeks before carry the ball across Wisconsin's goal line for the onlr touchdown Michigan could make against the Badgers.

But the cheering was not all on the MlehJ-tan side of the Held, la Eplte of the fact that I i -V FIR5TT SCRlMMACiK OF THK fiAMR' the Wolverines were the victors. On the east bleacher the Chicago men, wearing big red chrysanthemums, the 'varsity co-eds, many of them In stunning maroon gowns, and every one else who hoped against hope that Stags' men would win, gathered. There they stood on their seats and cheered long after it 'was apparent that the Maroons were beaten. Led by the university band, they sang college songs; led by the gayly decorated cheer-masters, they shouted college yells. There was cot so large a crowd as that which saw the Michigan-Wisconsin game, but it was fully as noisy.

At least 12.000 persons found their way into the grounds, and every one of those that filed past the ticket takers came with the idea of yelling for two. Nearly every person on the ground was provided with a megaphone. Most of those present also carried a balloon, blue or maroon, according to the hopes of the owner. As the game waned these balloons were let loose in a way that would bave made Santoa-Dumont envious. Although Chicago was defeated, and defeated beyond any explanations of a weakened team or bard luck, the Maroons put up the greatest game they have played this season easily.

They played in a way that would have brought cheers even from the opponents' rooters had they been up against an eleven of equal strength. Defeated bat Kot Disgraced. From start to finish the Chicago eleven played a game the University of Chicago may be proud of. The Midway team was always fighting, and always -fighting hard. Moreover, the men who stood in the bleachers, and' were supposed to cheer, did their duty.

All through the game Chicago had the better of the cheering. The University of Chicago students were out to give their eleven all the vocal encouragement they could, and they did so most effectively. It carried' one back to old times to sea Michigan scoring on place kicks. Several years ago, when this used to be one of the favorite ways of the Maroon team of gathering points, the. Michigan men used to grumble and look exceedingly morose.

Yesterday, when Sweeley put his foot against, the ball on the two occasions when it went sailing over the crossbar for a goal from place kick, the Wolverine rooters went wild with delight. It was a case of the boot that did the kicking being en the other side's foot. Michigan deserved every place goal it got. Six times the attempt was mad by Michigan to score from the field, but only twice did the ball go where- It was wanted to go. Three times ia the first half, before Michigan had scored, the Wolverines tried to get a goal from placement.

In the second halt Sweelcy's first try at a goal was successful. After that he tried once moro, but failed. The great mistake' that Chicago made was In not kicking often enough. Again and again the Maroons overlooked opportunities to punt the ball out of their territory. Michigan, on the other hand, although the winning team, followed the good old rule that it is a good thing to always kick out of one's own territory.

Chicago's Strong Defease. Where Chicago showed to particular advantage was on defense. In this respect the home team was more than the equal of the visitors. The Maroons showed their ganie-ness and their good defensive work in the first half when they held Michigan on their one-yard line. It seemed as if a touchdown was certain! but Chicago braced and held like adamant.

The Wolverines" terrible offense was too much for the Chicago men. Just as seem vt Jikely before the game, the Maroons could not cope with the Michigan attack. They worked like" tigers, but the swtft mechanical play of the men from Ann Arbor was too much for them. Then again, Chicago was tooiea naaiy on trick plays. This did not happen once either, but again and again.

in the first half Michigan restricted Its play to a large degree to line smashes and end runs. In the second half, trick plays having proved successful late in the first period of play, the Wolverines showed what they knew about deceptive formations. A fake kick, on which the ball finally slipped to Sweeley, proved especially hard for the Maroons to solve. This was worked over and over, and only once or twice was the runner tackled for a loss. Michigan made use of delayed passes also, and these worked well.

For a team coached by Stagg. Chicago was fooled with surprising ease. It Is probable that the men. owing te their Inexperience, in many cases were drawn into the scrimmage bunch through their eagerness to get into the play. Chicago's attack was good.

Not so good as Michigan's, of course. However, the Maroons showed thtt Mtchigsn Is not impregnable, and in the second half they made a long stretch of gains loward the Wolverine goal. Mlchlgaa'a First Score Kot Easy. Michigan had no easy time In making its first score. Back and forth the teams had battled for most of the first half before Michigan finally got its first place kick.

In fact, many ofthe spectators had come to believe that the Maroons stood a chance of winning. Although It took Michigan a long time to land its first bunch of points the Wolverines had all the better of the They gained Srobably twice as much ground as Cbicage, ut lost the ball at inopportune momenta. The first touchdown, which was the second score made, came with a rush. It. looked easy, and the Michigan men were telling one another that the Maroons would be beaten by a score of 40 to but Chicago did not go to pieces, far from it.

The Mareons played better than ever when the score stood 10 to 0 against then Along toward the end of the game there waa a lot of exceedingly rough play. The Maroons were fighting hard, and the fact that they were being beaten perhaps made them more aggressive than the football law allows. Bus even at that the game was a clean one. renames were few and, far between.

Ivison took Schnur'a place in Chicago lineup. Chicago's defense showed very strong. Again Michigan mlssed'a try at a place kick, this time from Chicago's thirty-nve-yard line, the ball going out of bounds at Chicago's fifteen-yard line.

Chlcago'a offense showed up well, and the Maroons pushed the ball to their thirty-three-yard line; from there tbey punted Michigan began working the ball up the field again. With the ball on Chlcago'a twenty-flve-yard line Jones was hurt, but he stuck In the game. From the twenty-four-yard line Michigan again-tried a place kick, which was successful.

The Maroons got the bail on their forty-yard line and cut through the Wolverine defense again and again until they had carried it to Michigan's twenty-flve-yard line. Here Michigan held for downs. Michigan went right after more points. The team got close enough to try a goal from the field, but missed.

A few minutes later Palmer was pushed over the line for a touchdown. The goal waa kicked, raising Michigan's total to 21. During the rest of the game Chicago was fighting hard to score.

THOMAS T. HOYNB. DETAILED STORY OF THE GAME. MIeblgaa'a Attack Proves Tpa Stroag for. the Maroons.

It waa 2:15 when "Shorty" the lengthy Maroon center, adjusted the'pigskln on the center line. Captain Weeka had won the toss for Michigan and bad chosen to defend the south goal, with the advantage of what little wind there was. A great cheer came from the throats of hundreds of maroon-ribboned enthusiasts as Ellsworth sent the ball straight into the outstretched arms of Sweeley on the ten-yard line. Sweeley returned the ball eight yards. Big Maddock was the first Wolverine selected to advance the ball, and he responded with a gain of four yards through Maxwell and Fair.

The first Michigan attack had gained ground and Chicago rooters became apprehensive lest the history of the first part of the Wisconsin game shouid repeat itself. And it certainly looked that way for a bit. Heston -next slid off Trtpp at left tackle for three yards, and Michigan had made her first down. Jones found two yards at center and Immediately followed by a fake buck on center for three yards more. Once sgain Jones took the ball, this time through Ahlswede for two yards.

Maddock hit Karr and bumped past for five yards. It looked bad for Chicago. Palmer and Jones together got four yards, and the ball was on Michigan's flfty-three-yard line. Maddock catapulted Karr's position for two yards and fumbled tfce ball to Weeks. Jones tried to rip through Tripp and chalked up three yards.

Once more he tried the same doorway, tut the door was clostd fait, llai- dock tried the other side of the line, getting three yards and first down. Heaton, with a mass on left tackle, opened the rookie Jar, finding one with two yarda marked upon It. Then Maddock cross-bucked, but fumbled, Jones pouncing upon the ball. No gain resulted. Full Back Jones thought he saw a loophole through Ahlswede and Tripp, but he was mistaken, and Chicago had held the great Michigan offense on the former's forty-six-yard line.

Sheldoa Calla oa Cailla. Sheldon called on Catlln for the first honors, but Catlln found no hole In Mad-dock's place. Again the Maroon full back assailed the fortress, this time securing four yards. One more try of the same species netted one yard and the first down. It took a headgear to do it.

though, and Catlln had to be supplied with a new one. Chicago now resorted to a tricky gams with a double pass to Scfanur, but the puzzle was solved with a loss of three yards. Bes-dek tried a hand, but he. too. lost, and Chicago was five ysrds back.

Ellsworth was forced to punt. Sweeley getting the ball on his twenty-flve-yard line and returning It three yards. Three yards each to Hernsteln and Maddock through Chicago's right aide, and then Jones got but one yard at right tackle-Heston saw daylight through Tripp for three yards. It was the third down, and Sweeley dropped back for a punt. Captain Sheldon was caught napping hero and failed to get back' cfuick enough to catch- the long punt which sailed over his head and rolled to the ten-yard line.

The ball had covered seventy-five yards. -v Catlln visited Maddock and then Palmer, but was given a cool reception and sent back five yards. Ellsworth punted from behind the line to Sweeley on Michigan's thirty-five-yard line. Sweeley eluded the Chicago ends and wormed his way back to the ten-yard line. Hernsteln carried the Maroons off their feet by skirting Koehler's end for seven yards.

The ball was within three yards of a touchdown, and Michigan rooters began to get up steam for ear-splitting yells after a touchdown. But there was something in the way of that Coach Stagg's proteges gritted their teeth and bent their backs to keep the enemy out. Maddock Galaa a Yard. Maddock. who made great inroads on the Wisconsin line, was hurled against Karr for one yard.

Then Heston hit Trtpp and got a minute gain. ball was within eighteen Inches of the coveted goal line. Maroon rooters held their breath, while Captain Weekes called the signal for the last try. Jones took the ball, but failed to gain through Fair, and Chicago had held on the edge of her goal line. Ellsworth, from behind the line, punted, out to Sweeley on the thirty-seven-yard line.

Sweeley brought it back to twelve yards. Hernsteln eklrted right end for five yards, tackled by Catlln and then by Sheldon. Maddock got strong ajl shot past Farr for five yards. Jones and Heston in three tries made first -down and the ball was on Chicago's ten-ysrd line. Palmer, Jones, and Heston secured six more, but on a double pass from Heston to Hernsteln, Michigan lost two yards.

Sweeley and Weeks tried a field goal at this point from the fifteen-yard line, the ball Just missing the goal post. An exchange of punts gained ten yards for Chicago. On a fake punt Sheldon lost four yards and then Chicago fumbled to Michigan on the twenty-five-yard line. Heston peered around right end for five yards and Hernsteln tried right end, but lost eight yards. Chicago was getting desperate, and Jones failed at left tackle.

Again Sweeley missed a place kick, this time from the thlrt-ty-yard line. Ivison was sent in for Schnur. Ellsworth kicked out to the middle of the field, and Maddock. Palmer, and Jones carried the oval to the Chicago thirty-eight-yard line. Here Michigan gained but two yards, and on the third down attempted another place kick from the forty-flve-yard line.

Sheldon got the pigskin on the fifteen-yard line. Ellsworth Forced to KJck. Catlln made the distance twice for Chicago, but Ellsworth was forced to kick. Sweeley getting the ball and returning it twenty-five yarda to Chicago's forty-flve-yard line. Jones and Maddock hit the Maroon line bard for short gains, but a double pass falling to gain, Sweeley tried another place kick, this time sending the oval straight between the posts.

Michigan had scored five points. Hernsteln got the ball on the kick-off behind the line and ran it out twenty yards. SpetkJ was hurt. On a rase punt Heston got nothing. Sweeley punted to Sheldon In the middle of the field.

Bezdek and Catlln gained but one yard, and Ellsworth punted, Sweeley bringing the ball back eighteen yards to the thirty eight-yard line. Then the long run of the game a delayed pass Heston took the ball around Chicago's right end. Captain Sheldon hurried across to cut the fleeing Heston, but Heston cleverly feinted and eluded Sheldon with a clear field before him. It waa Michigan's first touchdown. Sweeley failed to kick goal.

Time was called soon after, with the ball In Chicago's possession on her own eleven-yard line. Sweeley Klcka Off. Th second half opened with Sweeley kicking off to Sheldon on the five-yard line. Sheldon carried the ball back to the thirty-yard line. McGugin was hurt.

Palmer and Sweeley followed with sixteen yard in five tries. A fake punt was noted by Speik, who downed Sweeley for a loss of five yards. It was Chicago's ball on downs cn her thirty-seven-yard line. Right here Chicago did her best offensive work of the game. Ivison got four yarda at right tackle.

Catlln tour more at center, and again Ivison made the distance with four yards at left tackle. Bezdek was not to be outdone, and on a straight -buck saw daylight for seventeen yards. The ball was on Michigan' thlrty-elght-yara Catlln, Ivison, and Besdek hit the Michigan line and pounded hard enough to carry the ball to the twenty-three-yard line, where Michigan held for downs.

Referee Beschsni of CVjrnelLuinT PEOPLE AT THE GAME, 8'r 1LarTIy Ilepreseated- at Bo" Coatest. Society as an organization stayed away from the game. That ia to say. the boxes and lower tiers of seats, instead of being filled with personages who are accustomed to seeing their names printed as "among those present." contained but few familiar figures, though the occupants, whoever they were, made up in enthusiasm what they may have lacked prestige. Unfortunately, the excuses for the display of such enthusiasm wer few and far between.

Alexander Revell, who sat with Mrs. John Barton Payne, displayed more concern over the accidents than familiarity with the game, and Mr. Martin Ryerson, who was a member of a rather largo party, expressed concern as to whether there were ambulances handy. Asa matter of fact, there was one behind the grand stand, but it remained Idle, while its driver enjoyed the game. A grand-stand celebrity who passed almost unnoticed in the great throng was the novelist.

Hallie Ermlnle Rives, sister of the Prlncoss Troubetskoi, formerly Amelia Rives, later Amelia Rives Chanler and author of Quick or the Dead." Miss Rives. wh- was accompanied by a stalwart cavalier, seemed bored rather than amused by what she saw, and ate apples unconcernedly whenever the game waa delayed by an injury to a player. The temper of the grand stand on the Chicago side was both Impatient and heroic. This was observable chiefly in the attltudo of the fair sex. many of whom were heard to grumble and give vent to petulant exclamations whenever a man went down and temporarily out.

After the second goal by Michigan the Maroon crowd became apathetic, and the rooting what little there was of It ceaaed to possess any backbone. Ex-Judge John Barton Payne, whose connection all the week with th Pike case entitled him to contact with something wholesome, arrived late, but wearing the university color. When he saw they were being trailed in the dust, he bravely stuck to them and- mastered his emotion wtth admirable poise-- The crowd was In a humorous mood. Men or women wearing outre or bizarre articles of attire were speedily discovered and ruthlessly queried as to their reasons for the transgression. A stout gentleman, who shall be nameless, though his name would be good on a very large check, waa Incautious enough to produce a flask during the very chilly part of the game.

He had no sooner carressed Its neck than his ears were assaaled with tb beautiful chorus. "See How My Baby Drinks." He turned end bowed his acknowledgements, but did not offer to pass the flask. Others of his kidney ducked under the grand stand to unscrew the stoppers. A very Urge corpa of very large policemen supported themselves against the wire fence and kept themselves In good order, though -t-one or two appeared temptsd to make ar rests when the freshmen bad their rough house during the Intermission. There wss no disorder, except when good old Ben Donnelley threatened to weep over the third Michigan goal.

Mr. Justice Hall, who took cognizance of ths mighty Ben's Intention, remarked very aptly that only -weeping on witness itandi wss fashionable nowadays, and the briny fiord was stayed. Rustsil Greene, who Is a football expert, left soon after1 the commencement of the second half, remarking that he wished to find warmer place.

I A drlxzling rain, which began before dav light, converted the field Into a perfect mire. the players sinking to their snkles. As a i consequence, neither eleven was able to show its true form, but the superiority of Nebraska was aemonstratea conclusively by a com-i pariioa of the number of yards which the two tesms carried the ball by the employment or strategy tactics. Tneee ngures read: Nebraska, 220; Knox, 44. Nebraska scored her solitary touofcdown early In the first half.

A fumbled punt by Zalusky of Kncx. and a flying tackle by Cor- tslyou, forced the Knox player behind his own line, and gave Nebraska two points on a After the next kick-off. the Corn- hutkers Instituted an onslaught which Knox could not ston. Tackle masses and atrsla-ht. line plunges yielded steady gains, and Bender was pusnea over the Knox goal.

Benedict missea tne gcat. The half ended with Nebraska en Knox's five-yard -line and gaining on every plunge. Twice in the second half Nebraska was within the ten-yard line, but lest both chances for touchdowns by penalties for holding. Knox held for downs on her three-yard line ust before the, final whistle. Knox made one spirited apurt-on the offense, tak-lnar the oval thirty yards, but thereafter found the Nebraska line Impregnable.

Knox was penalised five times for offside plays, but these did not figure in the score.

and In precisely one minute after the next formation Daly caught the ball from a punt and ran eighty-five yards for a touchdown.

1 'PRINCETON. N. Nov. 15. Vale today defeated Princeton In ttalr annual football game by the score of 12 to All the scoriae; was done in thj first Vale twice placed the ball over the Tigers' goal line, and De-wit for Princeton dropped a.

beautiful field goal from Yale's forty-flve-yard line. It was an inglorious ending for an otherwise brilliant season. The score does not adequately show Vale's superiority over Princeton. I'rlnceton waa really outrlafsed at all points of the gan.e, except In the tackling department. Here Dewittt easily held the nonors, but his beautiful punting was minimized by the very clever work of the Yale back field.

No matter who caught Dewltt's sky-scraping spirals, whether It waa Chadwtck. Bowmin. or Wet-calf, the ball was invariably brought back from ten to twenty yards by a dodging, wriggling blutJeg before he could be knocked oil his pins ty the Prlncetnn ends. The game was one of the fiercest ever witnessed on a football gridiron, yet it was free from unnecessary roughness. The Tale men played like fiends incarnate, and the Prince- ton players were but a trifle less reckless.

Yala men tackled fiercely and threw themselves daringly under Princeton 'a attempted mass playa. Princeton also plsyed fiercely, but her attempts were futile 4efore the quick-charging Tale line. When the Tiger linemen wert low the men would jump over, and when they stood, up Yale would brush them aside. Princeton's defense had been her mainstay during the season, but the wonderful holding ability -of her line was seldom manifested during the game. Prlaeetaa Holds Like a Reek, Early In the second half Yale secured the ball on her fifty-yard line, and by hard, straight football carried It to within two feet of Princeton's gosl.

Here the Orang and Black lice held like a rock and Yale lost what looked like a sure touchdown. On other occasions Vale had the ball within striking -distance of Princeton's goal. Once sho lost It for holding and again on a fumble. Princeton did not seem to be at her best, while the Tale team played the game of its life. To Illustrate the weakness of Princeton's offense.

It Is nly necessary to record that In the entire first half the team gained bat seven ysrds, the kicks excepted. Time and again Yale's' heavy forwards would bend. Princeton's line back before the play was started, and several times Glaas broke through Dewitt, Princeton's star gusrd. and, tsckled the Princeton runner back of the lice. Yale's offense wss a revelation to Princeton, and the latter's much-vaunted defense wss crumbled before the crushing Una playa bf Tale.

It is a remarkable fact that Vale rarely attempted an end run, depending almost entirely on line plunges and mass oa tackle. Caaawtek Xakea Beta Teatbiewaa, Captain Chadwtck played a remarkable game, scoring, both touchdowns after sensational runs of fifty yards esch. The battle between Glass and Dewitt, who are recognised as the leading men in their respective was interesting: The; former, however, had all the better of lb a big Princetonlan. At kicking Dewltt's work was little short of marvelous. He was 1 1-ways hurried by the Yale forwards, but la spite of this handicap, his punts averaged about fifty yards.

There Is no telling what ths r.orm would have been had Princeton beea without the services of Dewitt. Where Princeton Was supposed to excel, namely, in the back field, she was lamentably weak, and not until the close of the second half, when almost an entire new set of men had been put behind the line, did Prince- -ton ahow any aggressive line bucking. Yale'a men appeared to bo in, much better physical condition than Princeton's, despite the fact that the latter had had a two weeks rest. Yale was penalised five times during the -game, three times for holding snd twice for off-side, while Princeton was penalised only twice, both for off-side. The fumbling of the two tesms was about equal.

Once Prince--ton secured the ball on Yale'a twenty-five-yard line, when a Yale man dropped It, and almost everybody anticipated another field goal by Dewitt, but after three futile attempt to advance the ball Yale secured It, and immediately kicked out of danger. Both elevens played straight Toot hall, with! the exception of a few fake kicks, on one of which Dewitt gained five yards for Princeton, and on another Bowman went through Princeton's center for ten yards. Aaldle from these there was no ground gained on fakes. Reeera Crowd Sees the Gaae. The largest crowd that ever witnessed a football contest in this city gathered on Old Nassau field today.

As early as 12 o'clock; the crowd began moving loward the pivotal point, and long before the two teams ap peared on tee gridiron standing room was as a premium. Seats hsd been erected at both, ends of the field. In anticipation of a record-breaking crowd, and the wisdom of the project was apparent. It is estimated that about 18,000 persons were within the big amphitheater. The huge stands presented a beautiful scene, with the thousands of orange and black nags and rosettes and blue flags and-streamers.

Contrary to the Tale custom, the Blue eleven was the first to make its appearance. As Captain Chadwick led his young glsnts on to the field a mighty roar went up front the west stand. This wss outdone by the demonstration which greeted the Princeton boys as they came on a moment later behind Captain Davis. Ttarers Get Favorite Soata Goal. It was 2 o'clock when Tale came out.

Princeton followed at 2:03. After running through signals for a few minutes, the two captains were called- together, and the coin was tossed-. Captain- Davis called the turn and chose the south goal, giving Yale the ball. The referee's" whistle announced the be ginning of hostilities, and Bowman of Vale kicked to Princeton's ten-ysrd line. Dewitt returned the kick, snd Yale fumbled on her forty-flve-yard line.

Pearson secured the ball and ran it back ten yards. With the ball on Yale'a thirty-five-yard line Dewitt tried: a goal from the field, but failed by a few- inches.
