He simply used a change of pace, from fast to faster, and went his merry way. So that was that.

While disheartening to Garfield, it was a comical occurrence.

A guard running 40 yards for a touchdown is an unusual thing, anyway. But that was the only chance the Spartans had for a touchdown. They never once drove to within sniffing distance of the Bulldog goal stripe. However, it was a different story for tha Bulldogs for they muffed two fine scoring chances when they drove to the 2 and again to the 11, but couldn't make the grade. Then, too, their chance for victory went flying out the window midway in the second quarter when their ace-in-the-hole, col Ned Mathews, the latter two what he was going to do to elude tacklers, Jackie Robinson not having fully recovered from Ohio Weslevan at Miami (O.)
