lost ground and frequently gained 25 yards or
over. Out Of the eight trials at goal he only
missed two, One of these was Intentionally
missed, while the other hit the post.
AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.
During the contest an incident occurred
which showed the honesty of the contestants.
Jus; after Preps' first touch down when the
score stood to 0. there arose disputed Ques-
ti0n about little play. The issue was whether
Prep had or had not touched the ball If he
had touched it the ball should have been given
30 the Athletics within six inches of the Preps'
Hoal line. ana a touchdown 1or the A thletcS
would have tied the score. If he had, not the
ball would remain in the center of the field The
umpire determined to refer the matter
10 the Prep who had or had
not touched the ball. He asked: Did you
touch the bsll?" The Prep hesitated and held
his tongue. The umpire again asked: ibid
YOU touch the ball?" The Prep turned his
eyes pleadingly upon Mr.. CoMan, who was
standing near. and the latter said: Tell the
truth: If you touched the ball say So" The
Prep said: Il touched it" and the crowd, who
seemed awed for minute, gave a rOusing
cheer.
Among the other players, Valentine and H.
Oliver tackled well for the Athletics, and Fry
did some good work.
For the Preps, Denlinger, who like Cowan 10
an instructor and not student. and the two
other backs Edwards and Walker. put up the
phenomenal part of the game. The signals of
the latter team worked splendidly. Their in
teTferIng was good, while their tackling. al
though too often high, was better than that of
the Athletics. These three points of superior
ily won them the game, and when the Athletics
acquire them they will have good team.
Prof. Gault of the Shadvsde Academy, was
referee and Mr.. McCandless was umpire
