years after the stream was parslleled
by railroads; while the isct that it

There was considerable local interest
In yesterdays game at Philadelphia be-
tween the Washington & Jefferson and
University OF Pennsylvania eleyens,and
the score OF IS to 4 in favor OF Old Penn
set the W. & j. enthusiasts wild. To
score on the big university was indeed
an honor, and W. & j. stock will be
high on the gridlron henceforth. The
red and blacks brilliant record of last
year bids fair to be outshone this sea-
son, though 1t was feared the loss Of
Ingiis and Duffey would sadly cripple
the team. In yesterdays game the first
half ended 90, and u. p. managed to
get three touchdowns in the second half,
kicking goal each time, while w. & j,
failed for goal after It's touchdown.

University OF Pennsylvania foot ball
eleven stacked up against the strongest
proposition they have tackled this year
in the Washington & Jefferson team, OF
Washington, Pa, and after two TWEEN
ty minute halves only succeeded in
defeating the boys from the western
end of the state by the small score of
IS to 1, 6 in the first half and IL in the
second.
The Washington & Jefferson team
were beefy lot of players, their aver
age weight being 1866 pounds. Time and
time again they massed and crushed
against PENIS weak spot, left guard,
from three to twenty-five yards. There
was a lack OF fumbling on the part of
the visitors, and only on two occasions
did the red and blue let the ball slip
from their grasp, There was consider
able smuggling on the part Of the Wash
ington & jefferson team, and time was
frequently taken out on account OF in
jurles. the teams being on the field, bar
ring the fifteen minutes intermission,
one hour and forty minutes.
For the visitors, Matthews, Crook
