The Bears, however, had several good breaks in piling up the score and were not so far ahead of their opponents as the score would indicate. The Browns went On a scoring rampage in the first two periods, running up IS points, but in the second half put over but one touchdown, this coming on a 40-yard run by Edes after he had received a forward pass from Jones. A 15-yard penalty for holding gave Brown chance to make It’s first score, the penalty putting the ball on Colby’s vineyard line, Cornswet taking it over. A poor kick by Erickson, which gave the ball to Brown on Colby’s 2S-yard line, paved the way for the second. In the second period Smith blocked a punt and Broda raced 10 yards for the touchdown. A march from Col by’s 46-yard line, with Mishel and Randall carrying the ball, together with 2O-yard forward, gave Brown the fourth Edes’ fine run In the final period finished the scoring.
