FOOT BALL.



An exciting game of foot ball was play
ed on Saturday between the teams of ST.
Johns College and the cadets of the
Naval Academy. The cadets put into the
field: Fermier. quarter back. Patton,
half-back; Long. full back: Procheska.
Irwin. Ruhm. Mcdonald, Catlin, Emer-
ich and Williams. rusheTs. ST. Johns
team was composed of Trenchard and
Grace. half backs; Willis, quarter back
Cissel, Noble, Ramsburg, johnson, john
ston, Nydegger and Munroc, rushers.-
For the cadets Patton and Fermier did the
best work, and for St. Johns, Grace.
Trenchard, Noble. Johnston and Rams
burg carried of the laurels. Though
Schoff. the college captain, was unable 10
play owing 10 a sprained knee. the college
team was successful by score of TO 4.
The college made touch down and a
goal, and the cadets made touch down,
but failed to "kick" the ball through the
posts. At this stage of the game the ca
diets claimed that a safety was made aud
the cadet referee so decided. but changed
his decision when the weakness of the
claim was explained TO him. This ended
the first half Score: St. Johns. 6; Ca
diets, 0.
In the second half the cadets made
desperate efforts TO regain lost ground,
but found it was uphill work, as the col
lege rush lire was like stone wall
Fermier succeeded in forcing the ball over
the college line, however, and made a
touch down. but the ''try-at.goal' failed
because Noble intercepted the kick. AT
ter this no play of much account was
made except fine rush by Trenchard.
which would have been good for another
touch down had he not tripped up.
The ball STAYED in the cadets part Of
the field the last half and time was called,
the FINAL score being st. Johns College 6,
Naval Academy 4 Prof. j. w Cain
was the referee for ST. Johns and Cadet
Rock for the Naval Academy.
