However, in the last quarter, the Lumberjacks weakened and the visitors took advantage. They scored four touchdowns in this last period, defeating the Nor- mal 32 to 14. The team showed that it was really an effective machine when it was working right and gave the boys a feeling of security when they went to Teiiipe the week following to play the strongest team in the state.
