The soldiers outweighed Palatine by an average of 20 pounds to the man, but when our team got dowu to work the soldiers thought they had met a cyclone; Palatine started around the ends and then would buck the line for live and ten vard gains. The soldiers line at right guard and tackle was weak and Palatine used the point for big crains: first the backs, then the line men would be sent through this hole Palatine carried the bail to within 20 vards of the First Regiment’s goal, where it was lost on downs. Roby's men failed to make live yards on the second four downs and Palatine took the ball for a touchdown through the 11 le. B. L. Smith kicked goal.
