A fighting line and charging back field raced through for long gains and a sensational aerial attack car ried the Tigers off their feet. Rice’s forward passing was one Of the best exhibitions shown by an Owl eleven in several seasons.

The aerial attack with Ables on the starting end and the eligible men for all of them were taking passes Saturday-on the other end, the Owls corked the ball deep into Trim ity’s territory. kennedy then opened an attack on the center Of the line that brought gain after gain and he finally spilled off left tackle for the final score of the game.
