the most important The Field Club is
composed of excellent material, and in
the game with st. Peters made a hard
fight, but the strength of st. Peters was
too much for the Field Club and they
met defeat. The Field Clubs line though
much taller and apparently stronger,
could not stand the charges Of the sop-
posing eleven. who in four rushes sent
Bannon over the line for a touchdown.
On the mex kick off the same kind Of
play was resorted to, and the ball was
worked to the Jerseys two yard line
where st. Peters were forced to surren-
der it on Down. On lining up the Field
Club tried to punt but were prevented.
A scrimmage followed and the oval was
tossed In the air. One of ST. Peters
tackles instead of catching it and max
ing a touch down, bated the ball with his
hand and allowed the Field Gu to re
it. The ball was brought to the
twenty-five yard line but before play
could be resumed the first half had ended.
c~ellent punting kept the ball continually
in the Field Clubs territory. 1t was DUR
ing this half also that Bannon after a
beautiful run Of fifty Yards around the
posts for a second touchdown. Only ten
minutes of the final half were played.

thus preventing a larger score. The score
was SO. in favor of the college team.
