Eufaula kicked off to Morris and held them for downs and then took the ball and in tAvo downs, a forward pass from Pipkins to Mcintosh for 20 yards, gave us our first score." Soon after the kick off JMfaula held them for downs as they could not advance through the line with such men' as "Shipwreck" Glazner and Goldie" through their line and throwing them for losses on most every play. Pipkins called Jim O'Reilly to go around left end and he-did for the whole team of Morris took a tackle at him only to be shaken off and he did not stop till he had.erossed the goal line for our second touchdown. Early in the, second quarter Thompson carried the ball over thru Glazner from the eight yard line tfor our third touchdown. We did not score again till the last quarter when Pipkins took it oyer fromtheten 1 iouj, fourth touchdown, also kicked four goals.
