Zarakov's football injury has prevented him from equalling his Freshman performances, and the lack of coordination among the substitutes becomes apparent in comparison to the accurate passing of the first string forward line.

Fullback Nevers of Stanford had been shooting passes that gained and gained. Now the Four Horsemen* started their galloping. Now one, now the other, now the third and fourth, they ran, plunged, dodged, wriggled, twisted. Stuhldreher wrenched his ankle. Layden bored through for a touchdown.
