might say, as general criticism for both
sides, that the interference on kicks was very
weak. The runners were too often left to fight
their way down the field alone. In the first
half, however, the interference in making end

by Oliver of Reliance to Walton and Carter.

olympic's interference was good throughout
the game.
Reliance tackles were weak and were not
able to break up interference. The Olympic
ends were especially good, both men going
down the field fast on kicks, thus pro ably
saving much ground to Olympic. Olympic
held poorly for Weldon 10 kick, consequently
he was called upon to run, and was often
caught before he started. The defensive play
ing of the Olympic was good, Reliance two or
three times losing the ball on the ten-yard
line.
wyckoffs kicking was feature, and also
his tackiing. The Reliance interference was
weak. 1t was unable to hold men back, and
the Olympic packs and ends were continually
breaking through and end runs were neces-
sarily short.
The playing of Lacuna was especially good.
He is a young man, and is gradually develop

His touchdown and brilliant playing saved
Reliance in the nick of time. The game, or
account of the poor condition of the men, was
much slower than the Thanksgiving game
will be. There was too much laying off Of
men with imaginary injuries and too much
fsking for wind.
The game ended in a tie, and will undoubt
edly be played again next Saturday, when
Reliance exrects to hold the championship.

the rest of the game being confined pretty
much to Olym pics side of the field. Re-
lance scored about the middle of the Sec
ond half with a touchdown secured in
much the same way that Cochran of the
Stanford varsity made the memorable
play that gave his team the victory in the
inter collegiate Thanksgiving match of
1894. The ball was fumbled by the Olym-
pics and Lacuna pursued it. in striving to
pick it up. kicked it along and finally
grasped it and rushed it headlong over
Olympic's goal line directly between the
posts. Wyckoff missed an easy goal and
the opportunity of winning the game.
The formidable army ana navy ends on
the Olympic team prevented end runs by
the speedy Walton of Reliance. for they
readily broke up interference and got the
runner. Had it not been for those two
men Reliance must certainly have won by
good margin, for Olympic did not have
the services of the formidable Stickney or
OF ThIerkauf, both of whom are injured.

The commission proceeded to discuss

Funds were low, however, and for that
reason but little could be done in the way
of improvements. With this problem of
finances facing the commission, Governor
Budd came to the rescue.

The Olympic and Reliance contended
yesterday afternoon for the athletic club

game resulted in a tie, each side scoring a
touchdown and failing to kick the goal.

fierce rivalry of the two big organiza tions
