FIGHT FIERCE AT FIRST. The beginning of the game was ex- citing. It took some time to pick the winner. The Indians won the toss and kicked off. Reliance carried the ball back forty-five yards without losing it. Martin, Mueller, Geissler and Heit- muller all good for substantial gains. riisle’s coach began to look serious. Johnson gave his men a talk between two downs and the red- skins held three times on their thirty- five yard line. The Indians tried two center plays and failed to gain. Johnson then booted the ball sixty yards. Leadbet- ter came back ten yards and McGil- vray sprinted to the center of the field on a fake kick. The Indians held for downs and got the ball. Sheldon and Charles each made a substatial gain. The pigekin was fumbled and Geissler got it. He had a clear field, but had made but thirty-five' yards when Johnson pulled him down.

A POW-WOW in the center of the the Indians were ready to play econd half with greater vim, > started this half with a. set of new backs and great things were ex- pected of the heavy men. Geissier kicked off to the five yard line. John- son caught the ball neatly and carried it in ten yards before being tackled. The Indians then began to play foot- ball. Shift plays, heavy line plunges, cross bucks and quarterback runs were used in forcing the palefaces back and bringing the ball toward the Al-Cali- fornia’s goal, The interference used by the Indians was remarkably good. They followed the ball and bowled over their opponents in clever style. Ham- ilton and Hobbs did good work in stop- ping the gains. Johnson used great judgment in mixing his plays. He had the opposing team in the air and the Indians made first down on every other play. Geissler was doing splendid work when he was knocked out and re- luctantly left the fleld. Graves took his place and immediately got into the game. Johnson was hurt a number of times, but pluckily returned to the con- test.
