SECOND HALF.
Neither side scored in the second half.
Brownlee kicked off. LeppS got the
ball. and with the aid of good interior
ence brought it back 20 yards. Hall
was forced through the line for gains
of about 10 yards. Then Lepps punted
for 20 wards. and BrOwnlee kicked the
ball back for 20 yards. w. V. U.
made steady gains through the centre,
until they had advanced to within Is
yards of w. & is goal. Then they
lost the ball, and BrOwnlee made a good
kick. Lepps failing to return on account
of an excusable tumble. W. & J. adj
vanced it toward the goal, and were
within - yards when time was called.
The game was stubbOrnly fought
throughout. although it would probably
have been more interesting on a dry
field. The playing Of the two teams
differed widely. Although ncminally
plaving under one set of rules, they
PLAYED according to the rules TO which
they were accustomed. W. V. u. mad
the best line. but Lepps failed to punt
as successfully as Brownlee The
backs for w. & J. did splendid work.
They are very fast. II is claimed that
any one of them can do 100 yards under
II seconds. Ely's sprinting was fea-
ture. The w. V Z. tackles and cen
ter played a splendid game. Botn
sides claimed victory.
HOW TT WAS.
"Wash-Jeff won nominal victory
said Prof. Harding, "but we are more
tban satisfied with the result. We
claim that the score should have been
q. blank on account of the foul tack
ling when Ely made touchdown, but
as tbe referee did not see it, we have to
ACCEPT the result. Our team played un-
der great disadvantages The dispute
about the rules was not settled until
this afternoon. and the W. Y. U. boys
were compelled to play under rules with
which they were not familiar. Then
there were At least two men on the team
who had not played with 1t before.
Our captain and full back resigned sew
eral days ago. and he was one of our
hest plavers. Before the game mem
bers of the team agreed that, under the
circumstances. if they held w. & j..
down to twelve they would be satisfied.
Under different conditions, the victory
would have been ours.
Said Capt Fry, of the Wash-Jeff:
"The University team played a good
game but with a dry field our score
would have been much larger. If the
rules had been adhered to strictly, 1t
would have been the same result-a
bigger score for w. & J. We are not
familiar with the rules under which
the w. Y. L. wanted to play, but we
conceded several points. The grounds
were i'm such condition that we could
not brace ourselves for good resistance.
w. V. L. cannot score against w. d j..
with their present team.
