But few spectators were in attendance tor
q game between two of the strongest teams
in the state, but they have nothing TO
regret. particularly if their sympashies
were with the blue and white.
In generalship and individual play, ~
well as in team work, the club team was
far ahead of its opponents, although at
times there was more holding by both
sides than the rules allow. Particularly
was this noticeable in long-end runs by
Abrams and Westlake for the Club and
WELDON for the University.
George Russell displayed excellent iudg-
ment in kicking in the first half, when be
had the wind in his favor. forcing the Uni
versity to return the ball by hard and ex-
hausting plays on those occasions when
their backs did not tumble and lose the
ball. Although the game resulted in q
score OF $40 in favor of the Athletic Club.
1t was not as one-sided as might be sup
posed. for the University showed better
defense than has been seen this season and
by occasional long runs demonstrated
that loose play at any time by the club
might result in its being scored against.
For the club Abrams and Nettleton, the
two new men on the ends. did some excel
lent tackling. Abrams, when he went to
half-back on Westlake's injury, showed
that he could play even better in that po-
sition than on the end. Emmett Russell
went through mis- man like water, al
though opposed by Nichols. the captain of
the university team. He also followed
tho bail well and played hard football.
Browneil handled his man well and did
some hard tackling. The rest of the line
played good steady game. The backs
did well. Westiake showing himself hard
and slippery runner. Meydenbauer doing
well and Gaffney, at quarterback getting
the ball into play like a veteran.
For the University Frazier and Andrews

Larsen, Ostrom. Harrais aud WELDON for
the line, the latter making enormous
gains around the clubs right end. Nichols
was the weakest man in the line. and
Anderson at full back made some disastrous
fumbles.
A feature of the game was UNI ire Cobb's
decision that the ball should be taken to
the center of the field and no try for goal
allowed because the man who caught the
ball from o punt-out did not raise his hand
as the new rules require on a fair catch.
