Tod Goodwin and Meekin behind the

In the afternoon, beginning at $50, the
high School team added another to the
list of its rapidly increasing Victories.
Ihelr opponents were a team composed
in part of soldiers and civilians and al
though several of the individual players
were strong, the team work amounted
to nothing. Several bad fumbles were
made on both sides but the High School
counterbalanced their misplays by the
most beautiful interference and running
play yet seen this year.
The teams lined up in this manner:
Com. Team High School
Doyle Center Murphy
Frank Yiglini Right Tackle Druehi
F. O'Brien Right End Hampstead
G. Viglini Left Guard Andrews
Whitehead Left Tackle Hudson

in that time the High school scored twice,
and Odell kicked one goal, making the
score 300 in favor of High school.
One of the diSagreeable features of the
game was the continual yelling of Foul
tackle" by members of the High school
team and their sympathizers on the side
lines. 1t is to be hoped that this will be
stopped as it mars the beauty of the
game; to have this perpetual cry of foul
raised.
The Y. NJ C. A team which has been
strengthened, has challenged
the High school for a game next Saturday,
when they hope to check the successful
career of the student boys.
Still later in the afternoon the city
team, captained by Mckay. met the
University team and defeated them in two
fifteen minute halves by the score of
l0-4.
The features were forty-yard run bv
Cotton; Kinball's and Thomas tackling,
and Sharps runs around the end.
The University seemed able to rush the
city team at will, and toward the end of
the game had their opponents badly
