22 THE BATTALION. by inch until within a foot of the line. Here with a din and a rig- gle in a last desperate effort Simpkins was shoved over the coveted goal line for a touchdown. Pierce missed goal. The minute and a half left to play in the first half was without gain for either side. The second half was a repe tition of the first, with Sewanee getting around Prather’s end with greater freedom and, also for a long gain, past Schultz, on a quarter-back trick play, which brought ball to A. and M.’s 5 yard line. On a similar play around Prather’s end the touchdown was scored with but five seconds left to play. Pearce missed the goal and the game ended with score of 10 to 0 in favor of Sewanee. Sewanee earned her game by playing hard, fast, clean, aggres sive football, when Brown’s de plorable fumbles gave her the ball, through the sharp work of her ends, within striking distance of the A. and M. goal line. To those who witnessed the game it was evident that the game would have ended with a zip-zip score had not A. and M. fumbled in such a costly manner the Sewanee punts. However, as marriage is the only thing more uncertain than a football game, there are several critical occasions all plas tered over with “what might have beens” if—yes, if—but that has no effect on history already made.
