adherents had but little opportunity to
get in their yells.
Finally the ball into the hands of the
"'yarsitles," and with rush they sent
Harper through centre for five yards,
while Jones gained another five. BY ylgo-
rous work the Nirginians steadily pushed
forward with the ball until it was within
three yards of the goal. This was the ell
max of the inning and excitement ran
high. The half was nearly over and the
efforts of the Sewanees to keep their OPP
ponents from scoring were almost super
human, but they struggled In vain.
THE FIRST SCORE MADE.
The "cranks" whooped vociferously,
and fairly split their lungs when the war
sites" with mad rush pushed slowly
the line and Captain Thomas touched the
leather down one foot between the lines.
thus scoring the finest touchdown and
making points. Stone kicked goal sue
cessfully and thus the Yirginias ran up
their score to 6.
When the inning ended neither side had
changed this record.
UPHILL AND HARD WORK.
The second half commenced with Sew
enee in possession of the ball, and with
the down-hill goal as the haven for the
'Varsitles The Tennesseeans soon found
that they had uphill work before them
in more senses than one, for the Virginia
"kickers" quickly got the best of the
struggle, and showed their supremacy. 1t
was not many minutes before Stone made
touchdown and kicked TO goal. This
made the score 10 TO 0, and in few
minutes Harper captured another touch
down and Stone another goal kick. Up
the score ran to IS. Shortly afterwards

gotten quite dark, but the Var
sites" managed TO pierce the gloom
sufficiently 20 give Jones "A chance to make
still another touchdown, which Stone
supplemented with his never-failing goal
kick. And so the "'Varslties'" record got
up to 80, while the Sewanee goose
egg" likewise became larger and larger
in proportion. The game ended before
any further points were made. The run
ming of Harper and Jones in this half was
superb. and the former, on one occasion,
made seventy -fve-yard dash, which was
agem in its way, though Jones was not by
any means inferior in some of his feats.
