...Kendall then carried the ball along by short gains until Sawin broke through for the touchdown. J. Lawrence kicked the goal. After this touchdown the first eleven improved somewhat on the offensive, and Kendall and Sawin made consecutive gains, though Ellis was not effective. Sawin soon kicked a drop-kick goal from the twenty-five yard line. The second and third touch-downs were made in short order, the second on good gains by the halfbacks and the third on a fifty yard run by Devens with brilliant interference. Time was then called...

Her scoring has been entirely by straight football...
