back successfully shaking off sev eral lehigh tacklers the second period resulted in an other touchdown for carlisle guy on the big indian full-back made gains of ten and fifteen yards re peatedly this with calac's line plunging and several successful criss-cross plays brought the ball to lehigh's five-yard line here the lehigh line made a great stand but guyon shoved the ball over for the second touchdown lehigh had a good chance to score in this period when hoban ran the kick-off back to midfield with clever dodging steady advances by kea dy flick crichton and hoban aid ed by penalties brought the ball within striking distance of the in dian goal but lehigh fumbled and the chance to score was lost the third quarter showed an en tirely different condition lehigh was
