But Adams kicked it off over the line.

Here was Gridley's prompt chance.
Evans kicked the ball from the twenty-five-yard line.

It was stopped by Huddleston, who started to run with it.

Luckless plan! Gridley's line came thundering down upon him almost ere Huddleston had stepped off! Bump! The combatants piled into and over each other.

Huddleston was downed on his fifty-yard line.
