The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1892-10-19
Foot Ball.


this season, was played at this place.
The Knoxville University and the
local team met. Our boys haven't
been practicing more than week
and some of them only two are three
days and of course they were beaten,
but their opponents had to work
hard for every point gained. The
score stood 25 to Din favor of Knox
willie.
Maryville had the ball at the start.
Making V they carried the
ball about twenty-five feet into
Knoxville's territory, but were fore
ed back little by little until they
were back Of the 25-yard line when
Brown, Knoxville's Half-back, by
short run made touchdown, scor-
ing four. Knox failed to kick goal
Going back to center Knoxville's
right guard had his ankle sprained
in the rush which followed and had
to be carried from the field. White
took his place.
The rest OF the first half was taken
up by terrific rushes from both sides,
All the half backs making good runs.
Cornell, of Maryville, and Wagon
err, of Knox, both distinguished
themselves in this line. In spite of
the numerous spurts made by the
home team the last ten minutes found
US back of our 25 yard line and again
Brown, OF Knox, made a touch down
scoring. Knox then kicked goal
giving them two more points, max
ing in all ten points.
In the second half Maryville
braced up and played better ball and
it looked like we were sure of a
touch down, Takehasha, Maryvile's
quarter back, punted the ball which
was followed so closely by the rush
that there was no time for KS full
back to return it. The ball was
kept inside of KS % yard line for
sometime, but after numerous good
runs made by Knoxville half backs.
Knoxville scored another touch down
and four points. Failed to kick
goal. Haworth, right end for local
team, retired at this point with a
thumb out of place.
The ball went back to center and
after struggle, during which Mary
ville's half backs did some fine tack
ling, another touch down and goal
. kicked gave Knoxville sixs more
points. After this there was one
more minute for play, but it proved a
., 20 bad one for Maryville and a good
' one for Knoxville, for after the ball
had been passed to Knoxville's full
back, who made the coolest and best
r. play of the evening, by drop kick
es from the 25 yard line :scoring five
re more points for Knoxville.
The Knoxville boys who played
T were all gentlemen and our boys
Id haves nothing against them because
s they beat for they were trained
Y. better and had more practice, but
e. Maryville certainly does raise kick
II against the referee who made some
% very rank decisions which always
CHI happened to be in favor of Knox
at vile. The umpire, also a Knox
N vile man, made mistakes but they
e did not seem to be intentional and
" were therefore excused.
st The game demonstrated to our
ye boys that it takes practice to play
ly foot ball and we hope they will prac-
d. tice more if they intend playing any
to more.
