e. It was the first time during the game that
Bartlett had the ball in her possession and the Bartlett supporters
were hopeful.

Neil called on Patterson, right half, for an end run, but the play
barely netted a yard. Benz shot through the line for four yards. The
Bartlett stands roared. Gary, left half, attempted a run around the
other end but was downed with no gain. Benz dropped back and punted
forty yards. The ball was Pennington's on their own twenty-nine yard
line.

Using the same tactics as before and working one forward pass to
advantage, Pennington began another steady march down the field.
Bartlett was being completely outplayed in every department of the
game. The quarter ended with the ball on Bartlett's seventeen yard
line and Pennington's first down.

The teams exchanged goals and play started again. Gordon hammered his
way through the line for nine yards with three tacklers hanging to him.
The Bartlett defense seemed to grow weaker every minute. A trick play
was good for three more yards, and with the ball on Bartlett's five
yard line Knapp got away for a wide end run and a touchdown. The
Pennington stands cheered madly. Why, this was no game; Bartlett was
being outclassed! It had taken Pennington only three minutes to put
over the second touchdown from the seventeen yard line. Bowen was
forced to attempt the goal kick from quite an angle and the ball went
wild. Score, Pennington, 13; Bartlett, 0.

Again Pennington kicked off. Cateye received the ball and advanced it
back twenty yards in a pretty, dodging run. Neil tried vainly to
enthuse the fallen spirits of his team-mates. They were not playing
true to form; they were suffering the slump of the season and during
the biggest game!

Benz was forced to punt again, the eleven not being able to make a
first down. Gordon & Company started another triumphal march toward
the coveted goal. This time the progress was easier than before.
After each play several Bartlett men were seen to hobble wearily to
their positions. The strain was beginning to tell. Soon the game
would become a rout.

A fumble! Bartlett's ball! The stands came to life. Pennington's
advance was at least momentarily checked. Neil called on Benz to carry
the ball. He made three yards. Neil used him again. Benz tore off
seven yards around end and Bartlett had made its first down!

Patterson and Gary, halfbacks, could gain very little on respective
attempts.
