Mason took the bail to the eight-yard line, Vonng p'cinged for one more, placing the ball on Three A's seven-yard line. This was the nearest the Duc.ue.snes came in scoring during the entire game. The ball went to Three a.

The FDb-ndid work of the made the spectators fee! haj Predictions were made that they would score in the second half. The stars were not at ease.

That was shown by the fact that immediately after the clie of the half the players were hudaa-t together few minutes in close exultation. They parted, after each had nodded bis head vigorously. Vh-n the Im.juesnes ime! up Horner tOJk Mason's tii ic at half ba. k. ami was soon in the fray.

Young kieked off to Three A's Sey.ird line, and lirooite kicked back to I uquesrie's line. The wind Wits with him, and the great Pennsylvania full ba -k did pome tall punting in the second Horner could ttot gain an inch, but Brown raised a vo'urno of cheers by plunging for eight yrds. IngHss carried it. two yards farther. Then Johnson evoked cheers and laughter by crawling and rolbc-g, helped ny Y'oung and Kd Brown, to tne center line.

The Duque.sn.-s were given 15 yards for offside play. The Wt.Il was placed on Three A's 415-yard line, and this, bv the way, is the nearest the Duquesnes came to Three A's goal line in the seeord half.

Several stars, among them Heffellinger, surrounded the ball, but thev couldn't touch. Hen got mad and gave the thing a wicked kick.

Four thousand or mor eager star gazers crowded "behind the ropes around the gridiron, crawled upon the right field and grandly swept into the grand eland. The great majority of the spectators wero decidedly for the Duquesnes and enjoyed themselves before and during the game in drowning small but vigorous Three A.

yells. They probably never heard the Jjuqucsno yell, and maybe tha red and hlack.s havo no yeli, but there can hardly a more cutting, piercing and determined yell than "iu-quesne, Luquesne, Duquesne." It is easy to learn, too, and the big' crowd soon caught on and cut the oggy air with the sharp song, putting new life Into Wagenhurst's iad3 ana making everybody feel sate under shelter at home. Although the stars wore familiar uniforms, as far as their stockings nwit, yet they were looked upon as foreigners, who ougrht to bo respected lor their etrengtn, admired for their grand woik, but not assisted by any cheers. '1 were the lirst upon the held, and everybody gazed at mem in silent admiration. There was Hen'euinger and Steven.son and Brooke and the rest of the heroes, eo much hau been written about in th past year.

They actually werj there in flesh and blood. Brooke presented an attractive figure in beautitul combinations of blue and white striped stockings and eweater and a lively sbunch of red hair. Suddenly a burst of cheers at the entrance of the field announced the arrival of the Ouquesnes. It tvas then the sharp yell -was passed along and taken up by the big crowd. The lOurjuesnes tumbled upon the held like kittens, pawing the ball, slapping It and kicking it.

Then they sprang into line. A linal yell as Brooke kicked off told that the game ivas on. i In luquesnes line-up were two new faces, Jylason at right half and Ingiis at left guard. Both played good ball, especially the J. man in the line.

He went into the game without ever having heard the signals, but held his own. He broke through between 4i pounds of Stevenson and Stewart, making openings for runners on tackling men behind tne all-star line. Thornton was opposite Heffelflnger, and when they met the earth shook. Thornton gave his entire attention to the 'famous ex-Tale guard, and it's a toss-up who did the better work In the line. When Brooke kicked off the ball it landed on Jjujuesne's line and Randolph grabbed it and carried it five yards.

The bail was passed to Mason, who was rusty on the signals, and a fumble occurred which shut up the Iu-Quesne shouters with a snap. The ball was lost on the 12-yard line. Howard, of the Three A's, tried the line, but was burled back for a ioss of two yrus. The crowd forgot Mason's fumble for a moment and yeiled. Graver darted around Randolph for four yards, and the Three A's were given three yards for offside play, taking the bail seven yards from the line.

Aid rich made a poor pass to Brooke, who was driven back to the 10-yard line and the bail given to Lni-quesne. It was a narrow escape, and the big crowd let loose another sec tion of the sharp yell. Young got ready to kick the ball out of danger. Il( neilinger broke through the line, blocked the bail and the thing went shooting toward the grand stand behind the. goal posts.

there was a race between Young and Paul Brown for the bail. Both threw themselves on the ball, but Brown secured the hall and a touchdown at the eante time. Brooke kicked goal and the scored read Three A's G. Lmyuesne J. Did the Duquesnes quit? Xot they.

Neither did the rooters, who were given Slenty of chance to open up before the alf ended. Never did a team play more determinedly or desperately than did the Duquesnes, and never did a crowd cheer more heartily. Young kicked to Three A's seven-yard line, and then Brooke, with his red hair flying, made the longest run of the game. He darted and dodged ran until he had covered fit) yards, being brought down by Thornton on Duquesne's 4a-yard line. It was a great run and was loudly applauded; so was the fine tackling of Thornton.

Howard and Brooke advanced the ball five yards, but Heffelflnger could not budge the line, and neither could Howard. The ball was fumbled, but Trer.chard saved it for his side by falling on it for a loss of 10 yards. Brooke tried to kick, but was overpowered, losing seven yards. The ball was now 47 yards from Uu-ouesne's goal, and Brooke kicked it to the 25-yard line. Young sent it back to Three 30-yard line, when Brooke got it and made eight yards before he was doused by Rose.

This was the last time the ball was handled by anybody gave Brooke on the Three A's side for the balance of the half. Brooke kicked it to Duquesne 43-yard line and Young sent It spinning to Three A's 10-yard line and it rolled over the iroal line. Brooke brought it out into the field and kicked out of bound on L)u-auesne's 4S laj-d line. The ball was taken gi of Boys' Short Pant Suits in tiie city at prices tn.it I never fail to please. m.

He would have gone over the line had not Kd Plrown suddenly stopped his progress by hanging on to him Ilk" grim death. Heffellinger, with everybody bumping against him made two yards, le hig checked by Rando'ph. His path, short as it was, was strewn with wounded men. Hrooke lay on the ground with his red-top hurried in the grass and his knees twisted upward. His as a pitiable sight, but Doe-gy Trenchard showed his riervo by walking about unconcerned and asking the referee what he thought of Brj'an's chances in Kentucky.

Brooko was hardly on his feet when attempted another plunge. He got into the dizzy whirl and the ball shot tip Into to air. Johnson's black hands were seen to clasp the oval and then let go. The ball fell beside the heep, where Trenchard deliberately sat on tt, savin? It to his side. Brooke tried again, and plunged for 10 yards, placing the ball live yards from goal.

Again lie tried it and again, and then the ball was li-j feet from tha referee let it go at that. Young kicked the ball from the 15-yard line to the 4s-vard line. After several minutes of hard struggle the- Three A's got the ball on Duquesne's 45-vard line, and then the stars let themselves out. It was thump and bang until tile ball was over the line. The hall had been passed tn Young for a kick.

Heffellinger, like the giant he is, had rushed to block the kick on' the way Rose crossed his path, dodge, skillfully and the biT fellow turned a neat summersault over Rose's back. Hen looked surprised when he got up, and a bit worried when the crowd set ifp u. great laugh. Then the thumping and bangit began from Duquesne's -15-yard line. Hadlcn took a dive for live yards and Hell' rushed for two.

A mighty cheer went up when Howard was thrown back for a loss of nine yards. Now Brooko began to take a hand in the plunging business, and how he did tear through the line.
