means, and when the ball was caught, it
was about forty yards from the goal.
March tried to kick the goal, but failed.
Bagley kicked the ball from the Cadets
25-yard line. The kick was a magnifi-
cent one, and March had the liveliest
kind of a job to get the ball and return
1t to the centre of the field Then Mack
lin and Bagley each made gain of TWEEN
ty yards The runs were very pretty
oness and were mainly due to the SPLEEN
did interference of johnson The ball
was on Lafayett's 15-yard line. and the
chance for scoring appeared 10 be ex-
cellent The Cadets couldn't stand the
pace, however, and lost the bali on four
downs. March kicked, and Johnson at
tempted to catch the ball bnt was tack
led, and Peck got the ball. He made a

given to the Cadets. They lost it, and
Young made several gains by rushing
the Cadet tackles. The play is called
"a tandem rush" and was made by one
or two of the backs going through the
line, and the man with the ball following
Immediately after, at the same time push
ing for all he was worth. The first halt
ended with the ball almost in the centre
of the field.
LAFAYETTE started the scond half with
a wedge. Holsinger understands how
to stop wedge, and he stopped that
one beautiful ly The Cadets got the
ball and johnson made a pretty ten
yards dash. No gain resulted from buck

| ball, and March would make fair catch.
Then he would kick, and the same pro-
gram would be carried out again. Finally
| Bagley failed to make his usual success
| full kick, and Lafayette secured the ball
| in the cadets territory. A very pretty
/ run through the line followed, and a

25-yard line.
The teams were very evenly matched
and the game was holly contested
throughout The Cadets failed to put
up their usual strong aggressive game,
| and the usual vim and dask so noticeable
in their play was conspicuous by It's alb
sence, The lines were about the same
in weight. but the Cadets met with no
success in their attempt to buck the cen
tire. Their bcaks were not able to make
any substantial gains, because they were
downed before they could get started.

any attempt to rush the ball. Bagley
did some magnificent kicking for the
| Cadets, and Johnson. Macklin, Trench

put up strong game. Hermen tackled
| solendidly, the line held well, and the
interference of her players was superb
Young played magnificent game, his
| lodging runs being the feature of the
game. Galley had no difficulty in push
| ing Holsinger all over the field. March
punted splendidly, his kicks were all
long and high. and gave the ends plenty
of time to get down on the ball. Weight,
Wilson, and Peck played excellently
Both teams played very slow game.
