The game commenced at p. NJ, the
Hopkins having the ball. BY good rushes
by Dashiell the ball was forced near the
College goal line. By tremendously hard
playing Of the College rush line and fine
rush by Trenchard the ball was gotten
far down into the Hopkins territory. The
excitement now became intense, for the
spectators knew that a touch down was
not only possible but probable. BY a
series of rushes the ball was forced with
in five yards of the Hopkins goal line
fore the first half of the game would
close. The College cheer was given and
the College players resolved TO do or die
II was moment of great suspense
Everybody held their breaths. The ball
was snapped and passed to Noble, who,
by mad plunge, broke through the
Hopkins centre and made the only touch
down. The try. goal failed on account
of the wind and the first half came to a
close. Score st. Johns. 4. Ii ppkins.
After an intermission of ten minutes,
the second half commenced with the Col
lege having the ball By sheer muscle
they carried the ball down the field to
within ten yards of the Hopkins goal
Another touch down would have been
made but the ball went to Hopkins aud
by a magnificent kick by Dashiell the ball
was sent back into the College territory.
BY a foul OF side play the Hspkins
claimed touchdown, but as the claim
was supremely absurd and the College
captain had too much backbone to be
bull-dozed, the claim wasn't allowed =
The ball occillated to and fro, the College
dlaying a purely defensive game, while
Hopkins were desperately aggressive
Dasbiell failed TO kick try -at-goal from
the field from fair center and the ball
went to the College, who held it till time
was called. Final score st. Johns, 4,
Hopkins University, 0.
The College students were wild over
the splendid achievement of their team,
and we'll they deserved it, for they beat
the best team that Hopkins University
can put into the field, AS the Hopkins
beat the Kendall College team last Satur-
day aid the College beat the Naval Cadets
the same day, st. Johns College carries
the foot ball championship pennaut of
Maryland and the District of Columbia
At night a salute Of four guns was fired in
honor of the four winning points and the
students turned out zen masse" and cheer
ed each individual member of the champ
ion team and their "alma mater" in gen.
eral. Cheers were given for all the pro-
fesssors and tutors. and Professors Fell
and Reid made short speeches of con-
graduation.
Study hours and inspection Of rooms
were suspended for the night and the
students visited each other to fight the
game over again. Many bets on the re.

ing odds on their pets, aud. as a natural
sequence, they are very flush"
