thing, to satisfy even patron Of pugil-
Ism. Nor was It confined to one team
for all the twenty-five men had their
share Of 1t. That no one was severely
hurt was one of the most surprising fea-
lures. OF course there were the usual
number of slight injuries and one man
had to be taken out of the game, but he
was able to witness the rest OF the strug-
gle. The two teams played at times as
X they had q personal grudge against
each other, so fierce were the onslaughts.
Even the umpire did not escape q share
In the combat. He made one or two
close decisions and may have been mis-
taken In them. The matter was taken
up and he was given to understand that
he was in danger Of getting his face
punched. He at once ruled the two men
who were making all the disturbance
out of the game.
The attendance was larger than at any
former football game at that park this
season. Fully 900 people We're in the
grand stand and large number lined
the edge of the old aerial railway on the
east side Of the grounds. More than one
hundred ladies were in attendance and
they were as enthusiastic over the game
as their escorts. The crowd was about
equally divided among the friends Of the
two teams and while the scrapping on
the gridiron was not repeated in the
grand stand. every cheer for one or the
other side was greeted with kissing by
those who favored the opposition.
An explanation of the hammer and
tongs manner in which the players went
at their opponents Is to be found in the
fact that there has long been intense RI
valry between the two schools and es :
pecially between the football teams.
There Is a story that each of the teams,
wishing to be certain Of winning. Sc
cured players outside Of the schools
they represented. Each thought the
other would not know Of this and both
did 1t. It is not the intention to give the
names Of these men, but 1t ia said that
the line up Of the two was far from being
composed Of students at either educa-
tional institution. The practice for the
contest had been as careful as the boys
could find time to make it, Each team
knew that in the otherthey would have
to meet men almost their equal. There
was no prediction Of large score. in fact,
some were willing to bet before the
the first half.
It should be played might have been able
to pick many flaws in the game, the
contest was one which pleased the spec
tators. There was no dearth of excite
ment. The fight was continued until the
full limit of time and even then the play
ers gave it up with regret. The score

two touch-downs but no goals, while the
High school team made one touch down
and kicked the goal. The latter was
made on a brilliant play by Albright,
who ran almost the full length Of the
field without the assistance of much in
reference and crossed the Academy line
yards ahead Of any of his opponents.
This play alone saved the High school
from being whitewashed.
FIRST HALF
Winning the toss, the academy team
chose to defend the south goal. The
fun began with kick off to the ten-yard
line by the high school. but the ball was
not followed up quickly enough to let
the advantage remain with the Hill
street institution. The military men
worked 1t quickly back past the center,
and gradually approached the high
school goal. Within five minutes after
the game started Captain Haskins Of
the high school team was hurt. and for
q time It was thought he had dislocated
his knee. He continued to play, how
ever. Brown put up az good game
about this time as had ever been seen on
the grounds. It was due to his re-
peated good plays that the academy was
prevented from making their first score
within a few minutes after the start.
Little by little the ball was advanced
toward the high school goal, and when
Il was within ten yards of 1t Goodale
made dash around the end and crossed
the line. Brown was so close behind
him that he pushed him into the fence.
The academy failed to kick the goa.
The next kickoff was poor. but the
catch good, and again the academy came
near scoring at once. A fast run by
Hubbard and an excellent tackle pre-
vented 1t. The academy lost the ball on
1umbles, but the high school was unable
to get 1t out Of their own territory be-
fore they lost 1t. The academy then
took the ball to the f1ve-yard line only
to lose 1t by loose playing. Bright Of the
high school got the pig skin and made a
dne dash with it, carrying 1t into the
enemys territory. In the mix-up
Goodale was slightly hurt, and Haven
was aso severely battered. Haskins'
injured knee received another wrench,
and he had to leave the game. His
place was taken by Munday. The
academy worked the ball back to the
high school grounds, and when within
dve yards of the goal Bosbyshell scored
another touchdown. but failed to kick
the goal. There was no more score
making in that half. and after some
hard playing, without resulting in ad-
vantage. the first half closed. with the
hall just within the high school territory.
SECOND HALF
The first half was tame to what the
SECOND half produced in the way OF
Dcrapping. Fearing defeat, the high
school team, with a score Of 3 to o against
them. began slugging. and In self PRO
tection the.other team followed the same
