plunging making any gains ranklin lost several chances to score being seemingly outfoughtin the line at every criticitl time where they held a twenty pound per man advantage With the exception of half a dozen un successful forward passes by the Thur ber men nothing was counted by straight football The condition of the morass and the superiority of weights gave ranklin a corfstant advantage in this
