Field Judge Brookes, who also kept time, is reported to have announced five seconds remaining to be plaved. with the ball on Georgia's 15 line on the right side of the field.

Mayer hammered his wav over tackle for a touchdown, but missed There was no mora scoring in Hie first quarter. In the second and third oirarterg there was little ground gained by either side, both fighting flercelv and forcing tite other to punt, the charging of the rival lines being well matched.
