When the third period began the head coach had made many substitutions.  Blaisdell had taken Churchill’s place at left guard, Gafferty had gone in for Hall in the other guard position, Freer was at right half instead of Kendall and Rollins had ousted Harris at full-back.  Whatever may have been said to the Brimfield warriors during that fifteen minutes’ breathing space, it brought results.  Marvin speeded the team up and the men no longer allowed their opponents to get the jump on them each time.  In the first five minutes Brimfield was twice penalised for off-side play.  Marvin got away for a thrilling run along the side line soon after Morgan’s kicked off, and placed the pigskin on the enemy’s thirty-four yards after a gain of over forty.  Then Rollins, who was a heavily-built, hard-plugging chap, smashed the line on the right and, keeping his feet cleverly, bored through for six.  A forward failed and, on third down, Freer punted to the Morgan’s twelve yards and both Edwards and Holt reached the catcher before he could start.  A whirlwind double-pass back of the line sent a half around Edwards’ end and gained three, and was followed by a skin-tackle play that secured three more past Trow.  But Morgan’s had to punt then, and a fine kick followed and was caught by Still on his forty-five.  With good interference he secured five before he was thrown.  Brimfield, still working fast, reached the opponent’s thirty-five before a punt was again necessary.  This time Innes passed low and Freer kicked into the melee and the pigskin danced and bobbed around for many doubtful moments before Marvin snuggled it under him on the Morgan’s forty-three yards.  From there a forward went to Still and gained seven, and, playing desperately, the Brimfield backs ploughed through for two firsts and placed the ball on the twenty-yard line.  One attempt at the left side lost ground and a delayed pass followed by a plunge at centre secured but three yards.  Rollins then dropped back to the twenty-five and, with the stand very quiet, dropped the ball over for three points and the first score of the game.

Brimfield applauded relievedly and Morgan’s kicked off again.  But the period ended a minute later and the teams changed goals.  Morgan’s put in three substitutes, one, a short, stocky guard, leading Clint to remark that the Orange-and-Blue’s supply of regular goods had given out.  But that new guard played real football and braced up his side of the line so that Brimfield soon left it respectfully alone and applied its efforts to the other.  Injuries began to occur soon after the final ten minutes commenced and two Morgan’s and two Brimfield players retired to the side lines.  Brimfield lost Captain Innes and Trow.  Innes’ injury was slight, but Trow got a blow on the back of his head that prevented him from realising what was going on for several minutes.
