About 30 spectators assembled TO sse
the game. and weather and grounds were
ia firss-elass condition. The adherents Of
both eleven. were about equally numerous,
and as the play progressed and became
more exciting the spectators joined in the
spirit OF the contest with rather more
vehemence than Was consistent with good
taste. In point of fac: coaching from the
the side lines and criticisms of the officials
were too freely INDUCED in. and unfor-
tunately the coaches and those who have
been interested in training the teams BET .
very poor example in this respec.
At3.is exactly the two teams that had
collected upon the field and INDUCED in
kicking about and falling upon the bail
separated, the athletic club taking the
west side of the field and the kick OIL
Blsncks kicked on and the bail sailed
down TO the University's fftsen-yard line.
After gain of three yards, ten yards was
given to the University for Seatsle's off,
side play. Kelly then added another ten
yards. and the University therefore refused
Carriers otter Of ten yards for Morris Off
side play. The ball was then advanced
twenty-one yards by Kelly in four PUSHES.
Then Burrows tumble gave the ball TO the
athletic club.
For the club Meydsnbauer gained five
and then four yards and BIancke took ten
between Dow and Walsh, where hs per-
ceived q hole. Short rushes by Mcyden-
bauer and Blaneks added nineteen more
yards to the clubs score. when it lost the
ball to the University again for off-side
play.
The University in turn lost the ball after
an advance of ten yards for the old fault
of off-side play, and Seattle again began to
send the bali down the field. A fine nine
yard tackle run by Morris was the feature
of this advance. and twenty-oue more
yards were added. The ball approached
too close to the University's goal for the
comfort of the collegians. when il went to
the University for oif-side play.
When the Athletics recovered the ball
again they were unable to retain il for any
time. and when the University got It on
offside play they drove il steadily down
the field, and finally Kelly carried IL over
the line twenty-seyen minutes after time
was called. There was q moment of sus-
pense and an intense feeling of relief on
the part of the Seattle Athletic Club as the
ball went to the right Of the goal posts
and short.
The club then kicked OF to the fifteen
yard line and returned by the University
to its ,hirty-yard line. No further advan-
tage was obtained by either side. and
when time was called the play was about
even. with the ball on the University's
twenty-yard line and the score to in
favor of the University.
The second half was begun after ten
minutes rest, the University having the
western goal. This half proved the
most hotly contested of the two. for the
Seattle men steadied down, played lower
in the line and stopped the ce inter- and
mass plays more eifectualiy. They also
lost less ground for of side play. The
University showed good interference and
played plucky game. Its defense at
critical times was much superior to the Ath-
letic club. For long time the ball went
back and forth, until at last the club eleven
succeeded in forcing is to the uuiversity's
five-yard line. Here both elerens heavsd
and strained, but the club showed poor
judgment in repeatedly trying the same
play until 10 had lost the ball on downs.
The University did not succeed in getting
the ball beyond its thir:y-yard line. when
Ii again lost Ii to the club. Steadily, yard
by yard, il came back 10 within the Uni
versity's fve-yard line, but again the col
lege line stood like a rock. and neither
shove plays nor dives into the li,.> were
of any effect Again the University res
cusd its gaol from danger and the battle
wsged back and forth, until at last the
ball was passed to Meydensauer at tho
University's twenty-6ve-yard line and
he was of like q shot around che
right end. Several times II seemed
as IL he would never clear the end, but
amid the cheers of the club members he
rounded the end, crossed the line aud de-
posted the ball squareiy behind the goal
posts. Yelis and cheers broke forth a.
the men wriggled loose from enc another,
and IL was seen that the score was tied and
would be beaten If Blancke kicked . goal.
Amid the silence OF the University and
the br eathIess expectancy of the club
men the ball left Blancke's shoe to sail
directly between the posts, and the Seattle
Athletic Club was in the lead by . score
Of "a.
No further scoring Was done In the
game. and when Lineman Harrais an
noancsd that time was up the score was
unchanged, and the club men went wild
with Joy.
An amusing episode of the game oc-
Cured in the Erss half when Umpire
Carter caught sight of little 'slugging"
in . scrimmags. He ruled the man of
the fed. Unfortunately at this moment
his attention was distracted, and when he
looked around be could not iden tify bis
man nor decide upon which side he be-
lonEed. IL is needless TO add tina. the Of
fender did not leave the Held.
