Harry Truschell, acted as umpire for

The game opened with the ball in the
hands Of the Athletics. The first kick
sent it well into the Y. M. G. A. terri
tory, but it was quickly sent back.
WORKS and Fox got the ball between
them, and worked it over till the spect-
ators felt sure that something would
happen, but they had not counted cor
rectly upon Captain Hughes who was
keeping the Y. M, c. A. goal. he
helped the ball back into the Athletic
territory, and it was kept there for q
few minutes, in spite of heavy efforts to
put it out. A Y. NJ. c. A. player
kicked long fly, which seemed sure to
pass the Athletic goal keeper, but
Huseman's head came into play and he
butted it twenty feet back toward the
dividing line. Fouls were too numer-
Gus to mention, both sides seeming
more inclined to play with their hands
than their feet, and free kicks and
place kicks were almost as numerous
as the regulation kind. 80.
After twenty minutes play, in which
the bali had been all over the tisld and
in almost every players hands, there
was q very lively skirmish close up to
the Athletic goal. 1t was nip aud tuck
for full three minutes, and hot rushes
and determined resistance made 1t in
terestlng for the spectators and drew
forth lively cheering.
Finally Harry Bacher got the leather
lpto position and with safe fly kick.
sent it through the Athletic .club's
goal, scoring the first point for the Y.
NJ. G. A.
The ball was put in play again by the
Athletics, and almost Immediately
Huseman got it past the Y. Nj. c. A.
goal line and out OF bounds. After a
little more desultory kicking, in which
neither side gained any material advan-
tage, the half hour was up, the goals
were exchanged, and a rest was taken.
This five minutes rest which the rules
allow stretched out TO fifteen minutes,
and the ball was not put In play again
till four o'clock. The Athletics put the
ball in motion, but gained nothing by
1t. After some hot work, aud several
fouls, it got well down to the Athletics
goal, but was put out Of bounds. When
ii came back it was caught up by
squad OF Y. NJ. C. A. players, and
seemed bound for the goal, but
Worls came upon the scene at
an opportune time and turned its course
to the side. He followed up his advan-
tage, aud by q circnitous route took il
back beyond the middle Of the field
where it was lost In skirmish. Then
there was kicking galore. by which no
one seemed to gain anything, but it all
seemed, later, 70 have been part Of a
providential plan to give Y. NJ. c. A.
another goal. Young VariY, the short
