The Pirates made their two touchdowns in the first quarter but the Hornets came back in the second when I. B. Anderson made a spectacular score. Hopes were up and the Hornets were really fighting. The last half saw the Hornets go over twice more, but due to penalties, the plays were called back, Many times both teams were on the verge of a touchdown, but were held back.
