three periods of play had seemed to belong to the Bulldogs but they found the Tiger forward wall impregnable and the second defense adamant A despeyate passing thrust in the final period went for naught and the game ended with holding ball within 20 yard zone Torrid football weather handicapped both teams and time after time the game was halted by one or the other to allow player's a moment of recuperation from the fierceness of play As the score indicated the two elevens were evenly matched in power and strategy but margin of superiority was due to the toe of Nesom who booted the ball

before being brought down by the Generals Three times he was given the ball and the Gobblers crossed the forty yard line One more lunge and Peake had the ball on the 28 yard line Here he began to alternate with Owens and the big fullback apparently aided by the hawk-like manner in which the Generals were watching Peake It was only a few minutes until Owens scored his second touchdown Hooper again missed the kick but Washington and Lee was offside and the extra "point was allowed Owens played great bootball in the Gobbler backfield during the entire game He consistently gained ground through the line and alternating with the flashy Peake formed a combination that the Generals found to be unstoppable Washington and Lee made an effort to score through the air in the final minutes
