The Maryville- Knoxville game Of
Saturday last was very interesting
and hard-fought game.
At three O'Clock, with about two
hundred and fifty. foot ball enthusiasts
present, Knoxville with the, ball
started with a kickoff, R. Spence re-
.ceiving the ball and was Immediately
tekled by Baker.
The teams lining Up, Maryville
started by brilliant bucking ofthe line
and soon had the bali in the Territory
Of the Knoxville the Maryville team
when within twenty-five yards of
Knoxvllle's goal line failed to make
their FIVE yards and Knoxville re-
-ceived the bail.
After trying, very unsuccessfully,
to buck the center, Henderson started
around the right end ane made run
of twenty-five yards, but was blocked
by r. Spence and tackled by Belk the
latter giving him very hard fall, he
ioosing the ball in the fall and
Edwards capturing it.
And again Maryville by successive
bucking the center and by use of re.
volving wedge on the left end gained
repeatedly and the first half ended
Maryville College team within thirty
yards Of the goal. Score. 90.
Ten minutes between halves having
been granted and the players having
rested the teams proceeded to the field
all men in good condition.
Knoxville attempted to place q
fresh man in the position of Hen.
.derson the half.back. namlely Cary
Spence. This being against the rules,
MaryvllIe would not permit it. The
Knoxville perceiving how their
scheme might be carried through took
their positions with Henderson on the
team.
This half was started by a beautiful
forty yard kick by X. Spence Of
Maryville College. Spence (Sherley)
captred the ball and was downed by a
fine tackle by Gamble within twenty
five yards of the goal line.
Knoxyille-Maryville lining up
Henderson made an attempt to go
around the end and was brought down
by a pretty tackle and of course as
, every one expected was terribly q
injured: Cary Spence was at once sub
stituted, but at no time did he make
himself CONSPICUOUS by brilliant plays.
Knoxville having the ball, and try
ing unsuccessfully, as usual, to buck
the center, they then con6ded in theil
last hope for gain and punted the ball
pretty.
Maryville again used the revolving
wedge and bucked the center with
success but failed to make their neces.
sary five yards and Knoxville obtained
the ball.
Theirplay was started by an at.
tempt to run around the end by Nc
Donald but was tackled by Ros:
Moore this was one Of the star plays
of the game Mcdonald being tackled
fifteen yards back of the line.
At this point of the game the Knox
v;lle's gave fair example Of theil
rowdy playing. Before the men had
lined up and while the umpire ant
referee were talking some all import
ant sneak kicked the ball through
CANDLES hands, and the umpires no
seeing it, allowed the Knoxville t
line up where the ball was kicked BY
them.
This evidently lost the game for th'
Maryville College team, as time wa
called before they could again reacf
the goal.
Every man of the Maryville''
played well and, to their honor be i
said, undoubtedly deserved the game
