68 THE ATHENAEUM Second Quarter. Fisk made 3 first downs on an end run of 15 yards by Johnson and two passes. Morehouse evened this count by line plunges. The period was productive of two spectacular plays. Harper, quarterback for Morehouse, scooped up a fumble behind his goal-line, and, with superb interference by Starr, ran 102 yards for the first touch-down of the day. Kelly kicked goal. This period was marked with another brilliant run that paved the way for the second score. Gentry, the diminutive Morehouse half, intercepted a pass and ran 55 yards be fore he was forced out of bounds. Kelly completed a series of line plunges for a touch-down. He missed goal. Third Quarter A fumble by Harper on his 30 yard line paved the way for Fisk’s first score. A pass, Johnson to Lunceford for 12 yards, gave Fisk her first score. Walker missed goal. The Tigers also added one in this quarter. Gentry again intercepted a pass and, with Starr cutting down Johnson and two other would be tacklers, he ran 60 yards for a touch-down. A pass, Kelly to Galyes, made the point which the re feree let stand, but finally in the last quarter, after the score was thought tied by everyone, umpire, spectators, and head linesman, he claimed that a Morehouse man committed a foul. The official scorer wonders why he permitted the matter to pass unnoticed at first. A pass, Johnson to Lunceford, who was standing out of bounds, gave Fisk her second touch-down. Umpire Sims called the referee’s at tention to the fact that the receiver was out of bounds, but the re feree would not hear him. The umpire was standing behind the de fending while the referee Was behind the other team; the umpire having jurisdiction in this case. The writer understands that Referee Robinson is an A. A. U. official and an honorable man; however, Thanksgiving must have been an off day. Fourth Quarter The sun had hidden its face in the west and the game was being played in the gathering twilight under the moon. Fisk on her own 6 yard line braced and held Morehouse for the first time during the day. Johnson, standing behind his goal line, hurled a pass into the Outstretched arms of Lunceford, who ran 96 yards for a touchdown. Johnson made a beautiful place kick for the point.
