ders Of their captain and forcing their Oppa-

vantage point. in the parlance Of the boxing
man, they had it out in a friendly way.

their goal. Scrimmages were numerous,
and frequently the umplres were appealed
TO for deCls l0ns, which, the University boys
cOntended, were In most instances given Ia
favor of the Olympians. However. it looked
as If the boys from over the bay were haV-
ing the best Of the last half, aud the team
might have scored points sufficient TO bring
it on an equality with the Olympans had
the boys played faster game.
FOulks and Sherman made two very
brilliant runs. TObin of the OlympiCS
worked like a beaver. lie made several
great plays, one of which was punt 20

which crossed the east line. TObin made
run IN the hope OF reaching the leather
ahead of any of his opponents, and in his
anxiety fell, thereby giving Hey, who was
pressing him closely, ch ance to reach the
ball first. The result was delay Of about
ten minutes before the umpire could decide
the point claimed by both sides.
The game was voted by all present as the
best contest ever witnessed in this city, and
when the teams meet second time, is
will be a difficult matter to pick the winners.
