quarter proved uneventful. Neither
team could crack the other's line and the
passes thrown were incomplete. The ball
stayed in the middle of the field most of
this quarter.
The Texas team started the second
half with a bang. Daley took the kick
and ran it back to the forty yard marker.
Two off tackle plays netted eight yards.
Gilliard went back in the running posi-
tion for the third down. A bad pass from
center placed the ball over the end zone
where Gilliard recovered. This pass cost
the Texas two more points. The ball was
put in play on the twenty yard line. On
the first play Daley took the ball on a
sweeping end run. He almost broke a-
way for a touchdown but was tackled
rfter a twenty yard gain from behind.
Outside of two completed passes to Will-
iamson this was the best play for the
Texas. The ball again see-sawed baek
and forth the rest of the quarter. The
West Virginia took the ball on their 30'
yard line and plunged it for a touchdown
in the last stanza. This was the final
score. Popeck, Baker, Bickel, and Will-
iamson played well for the ship.

MORE ABOUT THE LOFTHUS
FIRE
The following self-explanatory letter
was received during the week from the
Commander-in-Chief, U. S. Fleet. Since
the Texas was one of the ships partici-
