s.rse between thu Athletic Club football
ssxss Of the two cities came out. Il Was
.vslk-over for Seattle. Manager Atkfn-
-. of the visiting team. said tonight:
s0ur second team can beat the Tacoma
s<ven. Our first team, the one that
casyed here today. will play Portland on
thanksgiving day. aud our second team
IN probably play Tacoma at this city"
TruIy the game today was "out Of
sxhs." beca use the fog was so dense one
eucld not ses fifteen yards. Spectators on
sac aide OF the grounds could not see their
trends on the other side. Sometimes the
seattle fellows kicked the bail .'out
Of sight also. The grounds were
sippery, bat not muddy. No one
vn hurt severely. although Cush-
man and Holmes, of the home
esm retired. Cushman heard something
sersck" ard thought his coliarbone was
broken, but retained the use Of his arms.
snd IL vas decided be was all right. As
the game was 80 one-sided there was but
little excitement. Joseph Morris Bennett,
AGED 7, the colored mascot Of the Seattles,
said de game il pretty good practice
Tor our boys"
Abrahams especially and also Msycsn-
bsnsr made remarkable star runs for thsir
team.
Maclean, who captained Tacoma's team,
made several star plays, but the support
was Intellectual, especially in the first
half Parsons usually got his man on the
tackle. but the Seattle boys were too
swift, and as q rule made fifteen or twenty
yards before being downcd. A good critic
says the fatal defect of the homs team In
slack Of discipline. He says:
THE boys will not do what they are
told. They will not turn out and practice
either. You can't get the same crowd out
twice in succession. Seattle seems to have
3 crowd of young ive-born boys. or
young men. just going into business Who
inject enthusiasm into the sport. Tacoma
has few old wrecks who can play con-
siderable. but they are disgusted with the
lack OF discipline and do little but criti-
else those who try TO play"
II vas noticeable In today's game that
Hacker. Best and Others did not play.
Hacker was referee. and says he will
probably not play any this season. Um-
pire Cobb says most of the decisions in
the second half were In favor OF Tacoma,
because the Seattle boys got little too
aggressive. The sporting editor Of the
Tacoma bureau of the Posr-IxrELLIoEscEs
says:
The Seattle boys excslied their OPP
ponents In weight, team work aud. in
fact. nearly all the points considered
necessary to q successful football team.
The visitors showed the result Of coaching
and practice, and particularly was this
noticeable in their interference ard end
plays. which on various occasions were
brilliant and telling. The home team has
good material and several excellent indi-
yidual players. but at this time is very
weak in team work, owing TO lack Of
proper coaching and practice. The Seattle
line Was n vcritable wall and ably sup
ported the backs who did splendid work
BY repeated rushcs aud end plays. touch
down after touchdown was made by
feattie, until the contest grew mono
tonous. except for the hope that
Tacoma would score. This, however, she
failed TO do. much to the disappointment
of the crowd of 800 present Had the Ia
coma line protected the half-backs a. il
should have done, the result would have
been far different, for Reese and Mnnday
did good work, but without proper inter-
ference they were poweriess TO make much
gain. OF the other Tacoma players whose
work was good were Mccoy and Maciean,
who exceiled In tackling and spoiled many
promised gain. The game closed with
the ball close to Tacoma's goal. with the
score ss TO in favor of Seattle. The teams
will meet again next Saturday at Seattle.
and the Thanksgiving game viii be played
IN Tacoma, when. undoubtedly. with the
practice that can be gained before that
time a much better game can be expected.
The teams lined mp as follows:
