centage We're young ladies and their
friends. Il was truly an athletic crowd
and the enthusiasm displayed was very
encouraging to the players.

sharp. The Academy won the toss
and chose to defend the east goal. The
High school kicked off and made about
twenty yards before down giving the

yards of their goal when they lost the
ball. A succession of brilliant runs
made by II. s. Davidson, starting ii by
making an end run Of eighteen yards
and followed by Barrett who made a
gain of twenty yards and Davidson in
another run of thirty yards. A twist
ing Y pushed the pig-Skin over the line
and the High schools scored the first
touchdown at 1922 and goal was safely
made. For the moment the air was
rent by the mighty shout OF the on-look-
ers and the High school contingent own
ed the grounds Reed made the only
brilliant run of twenty-five yards in the
rest of the first half before time was
called, but was too late TO profit by.
Score at the end of first half was to
in favor Of the High school.
The Academy opened the last half by
a poor kickoff and the High school with
a few center shoves went down to their
twenty-five yard line before they lost
the ball. Then the Academy by per-
sistent bucking of the High school
guards carried the ball back over the
field to their goal and scored their first
touchdown. Failed to make "a goal

but the superior tactics OF the High
school evened things up. Brilliant
plays were made by Davidson. Barrett
and Casad of the High school and by
Reed, Higginson and Hatfield Of the
