Robert Blackford, of Martins Ferry.
who was the referee. was not familiar
with the rules on such work and gave

that way, although the rules arc differ
ent.
In tile first half Martins Ferry and
Wash.JeT each scored four
Tho only touch downs were made by

present, and the excellent playing was
all applauded. The game was by far
the most exciting yet, and all enjoyed It,
Washington worked the screw to an
advantage, but this Martins Ferry
broke in three yards, and Yin the last
Washington lost ground. The Interior
ing of Washington-Jetlerson was great,
and her end plays and running were
excellent. Martins Ferry showed up
stronger than ever. She did quick
work aud heavy bucking, aud her inter-
ference, hcr weakest point, was better
than usual. Washington's thin centre
weighs 6O4 pounds, md her average Is
considerable heavier than Martins
Ferry. The visitors were afraid to play
three.quarter halves, and pronounce
Martins Ferry crack team-the fair
est they ever saw play anywhere.

Montgomery was immense. Both clubs
were entertained ut dinner at the Y. NJ.

beaten by Washington on Saturday.
Several kid games were played in
