College football players are good mud horses
No matter how unfavorable the weather or how
wet the field Is, they put on their canvas and
moeskins and tumble about without a murmur
OF complaint. Yesterday was not at all suited
for outdoor sports but many football games
were played Just the same. In this vicinity the
principal contest was the one played at Eastern
Park by the Stevens Institute eleven and the
Crescent A. c., the latter winning by good
sized score. The Orange A. G. kickers tackled
the Harvard varsity In Cambridge and held the
crimsons down we'll Lehieh's team met Yale
st New Haven. ard Capt Hinkey's heavy
weights won easily. The University OF Pennsyl-
vania players punched holes In the Georgetown
College rush line. and rolled up points until they
were tired. There were many other games OF
minor Importance, details OF which may be
found below:
CRESCENT. "a; STEVENS INSTITUTE, o.
A muddy field and a steady downpour Of
chilling rain did not deter the Crescent A. G.
and the Stevens Institute teams from playing
their football game at Eastern Park yesterday
afternoon. The stevens boys were not at any
time In the game, and the Crescents practically
made q show of them. The visitors put no spirit
into their playing, fumblcd freely and were par
ticularly poor behind the line Two Of the Cres
cents touch downs were traceable TO Full Back
Corbetts inability to handle the ball
kick There was some excuse for fumbng
owing to the slippery condition OF the ball and
the fields but the institute players did nearly
all the fumbling.
The Crescent Club men who were present were
jubilant over the strength that their team had
developed since the game with the University
OF Pennsylvania last Wednesday. They played
q dashing game that showed good coaching.
The team Is fortunate in having secured San
ford, the ex-Yale player. Sanford was every
where, bringing to every back running with
the ball the superb interference tactics that he
learned at Yale. Baldwin and Hoto hkiss attend
