Second Half

Upon the resumption the Marines gained the upper hand and in the first few minutes, after several set ins near the corner flag, the ball as taken over the goal line, but Got, cool as a cucumber touched down for a drop-out. The Marines soon came back, however, and only very fine defensive work, in which Carrel and Lo Doze showed up well, prevented them írom scoring.

The American backs then entered ihe picture but though their handling was perfect, their passing was a little reckless and coupled with the fact that these outsides still tried to get away from a standing start. nothing came of their efforts.

Havriluk, midway through the half, was nearly over twice, but Got bad him well covered and on both Occasions threw him into touch a couple of yards from the line.

The French. after taking great punishment, managed to clear their lines eventually with the aid of a penalty given against the Americans ior offjde, but the "leathernecks" Were not to be denied, and from a line-out, fully thirty yards from the goal line, Terra passed the ball back io the thrower, Havriluk, for the winger to make a brilliant run of forty yards to touch down near the posts Y avoiding no less than five Harleys kick was perfect.

Upon the kick-off, the Marines surged down the field once again and giving the Forces no rest, battered away at their line for another ten minutes without a break. The French were subsequently able to break away, but the Americans were soon back and from a linecut a few minutes before no-side, Juracko broke through a bunch of players land when pulled down on the line handed back to Arnett, who plunged over the line for the last and unconverted try.
