But the ball went wide and settled into the arms of the Claflin right end.

Dodging and feinting that speedy youngster tore off thirty-five yards before he was brought down and the ball was Claflin's on Brimfield's forty yards.

The Blue found her stride again then and plunged through Fowler twice for good gains, finally securing her distance on the Maroon's twenty-eight.

Fowler, who was staggering, was taken out and McClure came on.

Claflin tried Steve's end and made four yards and then, on a fake kick formation, got three more through centre.
