NEITHER SIDE SCORED.
Exciting Game of Football at
Rockville, in Which the Fred
erick Eleven Distinguish
Themselves-The Crowd
Against the Visitors

Considerable interest was centered in
the football match which came off in
Rockville, on New Years day, be-
tween elevens from Frederick aud that
place, by all who know anything
about the game and who witnessed the
two previous contests by the same
teams, at the Fair Grounds, near this
city. Arrangements were made for a
game to be played In Rockville and
our boys were on hand promptly. The
Fair Grounds near Rockville was the
place chosen for the struggle, and
Messrs. Dawson and Dugan acted in
Both sides played a strong game and
neither side could get the pigskin near
enough to its adversary's goal to Sc
cure a touchdown. Quite a number
of people witnessed the game. The
Frederick team, although severely
handicapped by an unfriendly crowd.
showed that they could play football
from the word go. We are sorry to
hear that the contest was marked by
several unfair decisions in favor of the
Rockville eleven and rowdyism 10y
portion of the spectators. This is I'M
fortunate and engenders bad feeling.
There is no reason why football can
not be played without wrangling and
disputes and it is this feature which
makes the game unpopular. Fair
treatment should always be accorded
visiting team and impartial decisions
given.
The Rockville and Frederick elevens
have had three contests, one on
Thanksgiving Day, another on Christ
mas Day, both in Frederick, aud the
third in Rockville, New YEARS. Day.
The latter was to he the deciding game,
as each team had won one, but as no
score was made, neither side'ca claim
the hOnors of victory. Let us hope the
next game between the two teams will
be free from any disagreeable features
and may the best side win on their
merits.

The Woodsboro' Chase.

The fox chase at WOodsbOro' was a
grand success; large crowd was pres
ent, and whilst all were merry as the
day was bright, the best of order pre-
vailed aud the chase was one of the
best the boys had enjoyed for some
time. The fox was caught near En-
mitsburg and was bought 10y Mr..
Smith for his New YEARS. chase. The
old fellow not being acquainted with
the dens along the Monocacy, where
many a SLY one has found refuge when
closely pursued, struck bee line for
the north, and after following until
dark, the dogs were called in and Mr..
Fox will, no doubt, be found at his old
tricks on his own grounds once more.

Enterprises College Considered by
the G. M. Z. Church

Enterprise Journal; On Friday OF
next week large number of the Ger
man Methodist ministers Of the state
will be in the city to look over the
handsome college property owned by
the Harrison Normal company Of this
place. The German church in Kansas
is a strong one and 1t has the repu-
tation Of making everything go Of
which 1t takes hold. The church in
the west has only one school and that
is located at Warrenton, Mo-, and Is
full to overilowing with students.
The opening here is regarded as a
splendid one for a second school and
the property, which Is very valuable,
can be secured at a reasonable rate.
As yet the scheme is very young but
the people Of Enterprise are sincerely
in hopes Of an early naturalization OF
the organization.
