Roberts of West booted the ball well out of danger, and then on until the end of the aecond half the West hlffh had the ball In Jordan's territory almost entirely. The hlfhest point of excitement excite-ment In this quarter was when Roberts scooped up a fumble and ran for what i wss considered a sure touchdown, but I the sturdy tittle halfback of the Jordan! team, Thompson, made a difficult tackle and down Huberts on the fifteen-yard I line.
