The ball was gradually forced toward the Maryville goal and Sturdivant crossed the line for a touchdown on a splendid buck through centre. The Varsity again got into running shape In the lasi ten minutes of play and bey a magnificent run by Reidy the ball was put about the 20-yard line of the visitors goal Howle, the full back of the Varsity, then took the ball over the line on a buck through centre.
