showed more generalship and kept their
/ goal better covered. which told greatly in
/ the windup Of the half.
With both teams III the center, and the
backs, half-backs and quarter-backs in pc
sti0n, the ball was thrown. and in
moment was in green territory. Then
there was scrambling and yelling and kick
| Ing. IOuchdownS Gid not count, but knock
downs, falldowns and tbrOwdowns did
greatly
The white men tumbled and rumbled and
| kicked ana punched the leather, and before
their opponents knew what had happened
the ball went rolling through the wIckets,
propelled by a vigorous hoist from the
mighty shoe Of white man, and the first
point was won.
The ball was then sent ont into the field
again, there was another wild lush and
back It " ent over tie bar, scoring another
point. The greens did not seem to be in it,
and their persistent foes banged the leather
back again into their camp aud through the
gates. Then the green men got mad ana
pounded the ball over the field, tut the
whites Rugged IL close, and, getting a
40-yaTd kick at it, sent it sailing skywards
over the goal bar. Out she came again, and
Mr.. Nealon called on the white men to rush
IN on IL They rushed, and j. {. coached,
but the green boys got the leather into the
hollow and kicked the stuffing out Of IT,
Down went both factions, mixing things
beautifully. Coacher Nealon then made a
beautiful flying kick al the atmosphere
with the ball 100 feet away, and from the
hillside where he lay his eyes languidly
sought the blue empyrean. Meanwhile the
ball was making for goal, propelled by the
hands and feet OF the greens. The white
goslkeeper was fun Of holes, and bang
went the leather right through him, scoring
one goal for the green caps
ION, dear, said the white referee, and
two minutes later he said, 'Oh, -," some
thing else, when the sphere persisted in
rolling our another goal. Then there was a
bitter contest when the bail was again
kicked out into the open. There was
grand rush, hut Casey got there first and
sent 1t sailing over the beads of the agrees
s0Ts and into green territory. The white
men almost scored another point when one
OF the opposition, who had on his hat and
coat, took a shy at the ball and landed il
away out in the field TEen there was fun.
Cries of "FoulP' and at don't go, WelchI'
filed the air, but il went just The same
Welch demonstrating the fact that he was
playing in disguise. He had to dOff his coat
and don green cap, and then the ball was
kicked out again, but NealOn kicked il back
over the goalkeeper's head and scored an
other point.
The green men had the best of it now and
according 10 the rules of the game nothing
could touch them but goals, aud they were
few and far between. The game was good
natured all through, and IL the boys do as
we'll next sunday the Port Costa giants
want TO look TO their laurels.
