BAYLOR U. 7-33
The hard grilling contest given
the Eagles in the past game showed
its effect in the following contest,
staged with another Southwestern
Conference team.
The Bears of old found them-
selves bucking an entirely different
line from that which they had ripped
through during the past year. Filled
with pride over their past victory
and contemplating a greater one,
time and time again they rushed the
Eagles, to be held in their tracks.
FROIalI, Tackle Coach Bridges saw fit to let his ID)VIDSON, Quarter
men uncover many of his trick foot-
ball tactics in order to pile up the score. However, the two first markers in the
initial quarter were made by straight football. The Eagles, coming back with
a rally, through an effective pass of Davidson to Slack, made their first marker
against a Southwestern Conference team, and that a team that had carried off
the championship for the past year.
The third quarter was marked by two costly fumbles, each netting a counter
for the Bears. Once, in this quarter, the Eagles threatened the Bears' goal,
from the ten-yard line, only to lose on a fumble.
The final quarter brought out the real fight of both teams, all of the Bears'
first string men being put in, and the Eagles fighting harder than ever. It was
a kicker's duel, neither side scoring. Ground gaining went to the Teachers be-
cause of their outdistancing the Bears on punts.Nive! \- folur
