For two thirty-mi. ute halves It was fast and furious. with the indians apparently in the best physical condition. as they seldom had to have time taken out for injuries. Brennan was a tower OF strength and time and again he broke through the line and captured the Indian runner before he was fairly started. Hsnnifln was fast while he lasted, but an injury over the eye put him out Of the game. but not until after he had pulled off that sensational run and grab of the ball which resulted in the first touchdown. The game was remarkably free from any unfair tactics and very few penalties were enforced for violation of the rules or for rough work. Time was called at the end of the first half with the ball near the center Of the field. The second half was a different story. The coaches had worked the men up to a high pitch during the intermission and they went INTO the fray with a determination to contest every inch of the ground.
