signaled for a kick. after securing the ball
on downs and being unable to advance Ii
against the sturdy Athletic Club boys. and
received the ball In such bad shape from
Jolly. who had up to this time been playing
a particularly brilliant game. that he was
forced to try to run with 1t. The c. A. c.
then secured the oval on downs and after
few minutes more Of play, Watson. who
had been making a gain whenever intrust-
ed with the ball, got around Meigs' end,
and, although unaided by interference and
hampered by two Columbian men who had
tackled him too high, made the only
touchdown for Columbia. Dyer made a
miserable attempt at goal. But two min
utes Of play then remained Lewis kicked
of and the c. A. c. had brought the bali
back to the center by a series of rushes
such as advanced it so rapidly few min
utes before. when time was called
Watson, Wells, Dickinson. Taussig, Par
son, who took Humphreys place at quarter
in this half, Lewis and Dyer played splen-
did foot ball in this half, while for Column
bian Meigs' work at end, Jolly's efforts at
quarter, except for his one bad break,
Paschal at guard. McRoberts at tackle and
Tindall and Weaver at the halves put up
the game. Time and time again Meigs and
Beard, Columbians ends, got through the
line and tackled their big opponents for a
loss of ground. That Lewis played the star
game of all on the field goes without say
ing. His exhibition of tackling and line
bucking was the finest that has been seen
at National Park. Louchs and Cummings
them Underwood. MCGOWAN and Saunders
were to be found in every play.
Clean Playing.
The game. viewed as a contest, was as
clean as could be, and was interesting from
the moment the ball was kicked off until
time was called. Every period in the game
was of critical interest and play of this
character was not calculated to allow in
terest in the result to flag for a moment.
There was smuggling. mean, under
hand work of any kind, and both teams
have reason to be proud of the game each
put up.
