Four touchdowns were provided in the . second half, however, w"hen the first team again started. The red and black gvldsters did not ; limit themselves to straight line-plunging plays, which would bare been enough to win. In stead, big Temple skirted the ends for long gains; and passes, Temple to Kelly, were markedly success ful: - ; Criss-cross ' plays, " reverse plays. Quarterback sneaks; all were used with telling effect, i Only twice did Harrisburg gain on scrimmage plays. 4 Jackson sneaked through center once . far 10 yards, and D. Morgan, a halt back, got 20 yards on a play by the same route. Jackson proved a big; i star for Harrisburg by his speed In running back punts. lie was" the fastest man on the field but with no interference, failed to break away for gains. Scott, a big man who started at right tackle 1 for Harrisburg but was shifted to fullback when Pet erson went out on an : injury. played a great game. Whenever a Salem man was tackled, It was usually Scott who had him. For Salem, it was Kelly who bore the brunt of the attack. The Quarterback waded through liar rlshurg almost at will, and he was! on -the receiving end of the passes which provided three touchdowns. BY RUSSELL J. XBWIAXD .

Hyland, : left half ? back, dashed over the line and Hoffman kicked goal for the. seventh point and. ft winning margin that Cali fornia's smashing play and re sultant touchdown in the 4 , third period could not overcome. The Bears, lashed by Stanford's early aggressiveness, came .back in the second period and early part of the third to batter the redshlrts" over the field, ; scoring one touchdown and losing a sec ond by a heart rending' break. The try for touchdown, that failed aaw Lorn, halfback, crowded out of bounds when within three' inches of scoring turf - It was! fourth down and the ball reverted to Stanford.
