For three periods the two teams were unable to push over any score. Early in the final quarter Capital scored the only touchdown of the game on a 40-yard pass that was first partially blocked by two Toledo players and finally caught by a Capital man as he was stumbling across the goal line. It was a purely defensive game, both teams resorting to frequent punting and doing little offensively. Only five first downs were recorded, three by Toledo and two by Cap- ital. Numerous penalties halted drives of both elevens.

O A heavy rain and a muddy field greeted the University of Toledo eleven when it traveled to Detroit to meet the City College Tartars there in its second game of the season. The two teams battled to a scoreless tie. The Rockets outgained Detroit throughout, but the wet ball brought on many costly fumbles: frequent penalties also prevented any scoring by either team. The fast Toledo backs found difficulty in getting started on the rain-soaked gridiron. The first half was a punting duel between Jerry Welling of Toledo and Demaree of Detroit. -l72--
