The Indian’s next pass yielded them
6 points. Sims completed a 20 yard
pass to Jennings who was loose on
the two yard line. Price kicked goal,'
making the scon1 19-14. The Indians
had the kick-off the second time under
a five -yard penalty because a man
was off side on a first kick-off. Sims
kicked off 30 yards. Hornets return
15 yards. Next followed an exchange
of punts. The Indians exerted ev-
ery effort to overcome the five point
lead but were unable to do so, altho
they completed ten forward passes in
the last fifteen minutes of the game.
Sims completes 15 yard pass to Jen-
nings, 10 yard pass to Scott and 15
yard pass to Petty. The Indians ad-
vanced the ball to the Hornet’s 20
yard line but the ball went over on
failure to make downs. Thus the
game ended 19-1.4 in favor of Hornets.
The following figures show that the
Indians were not outclassed: Indians

averaged 33 1-2 yards on punts and
