in hie Fairfax played on even terms with Lincoln in the opening half, and then after giving all they had during the first two quarters, folded up, permitting the Tigers to shove over four touchdowns and two conversions in the second half. Captain Walt Elliot played a brilliant game for Fairfax. Battling to stay in the race for the championship, the Class C team received a jolt on October 20, when Franklin held the little Colonials on Van Cleve field to a scoreless tie. Both teams missed numerous chances to score. Franklin had the ball on Fairfax's one foot line as the game ended. Almost, but not quite, was the case as Fairfax lost its third game of the year, dropping a 6-0 decision to Manual Arts on the Toilers' field on October 21. Fairfax played a great game, although outweighed and outclassed, and held its own through- out the contest, except for a brief pause in the second quarter, when Manual shoved over its score. Penalties hurt the scoring chances of the Colonials. The excellent punting by Bud Anderson, and the brilliant line play by Bob Reed, were outstanding. Time after time Anderson punted his team out of danger, and kept the Toilers in hot water throughout tht game with his lengthy punts. One of his kicks was good for 70 yards, another for 80. » i Fairfax puts up a stubborn defense against the Romans [ 22]

A well executed pass from Manual's five yard line to its twenty'five yard mark' er and a seventy five yard run by the receiver, all in the last minute of play, enabled the Toilers to defeat the Fairfax lightweights, 6 0, on Van Cleve field on the same day. Up to the moment of the fatal pass, Fairfax had held its own with the Toiler team, and it looked as if the contest would end in a tie. The Colonials missed nunv erous chances to score, having the ball inside of Manual's twenty'five yard line time after time, but lacked the power to shove over scores. Rufus Willard and Bill Pick' ens were outstanding for Fairfax. No matter how busy Colonials are, time is always found for those less fortunate.
