son kicked off and Whitworth touched the ball, which rolled out
of bounds. He secured the ball, however, and State made good
gains. Moscript was shoved through for fifteen yards, but fell so
heavily that he fumbled. Dickinson worked back to the 10 yard
line. State held and after some gaining kicked. Tr this way the
ball was kept between the center of the field and the io yard line
of State’s territory for the whole cf the first half. Both teams
were penalized several times for offside play, and Dickinson for
holding.
In the second half State kicked off and Dickinson fumbled on
the second down. Forkum got the ball, and State went by hard
plunges as far as the eight yard line. Here they had three yards
to gain on the last down, and Whitworth dropped back for a try at
a field goal. The ball was well passed and was kicked straight for
the goal, but failed to rise high enough. This was high mark for
State. The team seemed to have lost heart. Dickinson soon
kicked out of danger, and here their supremacy began. The
heavier team slowly worked down into the white and blue terri
tory. Fortune favored them. They started to hammer at left
tackle, and time after time Seeley would strike, stop and then roll
round the end of the line for a small gain. State got the ball once
or twice, but the rush of the opposing team could not be stayed.
Finally, a first down placed the ball on the 5 yard line. The
fourth down placed the ball just on the line. Under the heap of
players Seeley and a State man were shoving on the ball, but it
stayed on the line, and the game was won for Dickinson, with
forty seconds to play.
Every man on our team played with the energy which can only
be gotten by the earnest support of the students. Mcllveen, Dunn
and Woodward showed great nerve. Coach Reed worked wonders
on this team, and deserves great credit. He felt the defeat as
severely as any man m the college. The backs put up the same
game as last year. Dickinson was stronger and won. The line-up:
