FIRST DEFEAT OF THE SEASON.

Academy Sixteen, High School
Six. The Game in
Detail.
1t was a superb day for foot ball, and
the rooters. The foot ball enthusiasts
and the pretty girls, all bedecked with
the High School colors, turned out and
made the largest crowd OF the season.
And each and every one of them were
well repaid for their trip, as they wit
messed the best game OF the season. The
High School was defeated, but they lost
none Of their laurpls as they deserve
great credit for the game they put up, in
holding the Media Academy team down
to IS points and scoring points them
selves. The Media team is undoubtedly
the best team that the High School has
played this season, as they all know the
game, and their team work was fine.
The visitors were much heavier than the
locals, and it was almost impossible to
stop their onslaught on the line.
One of the star plays Of the day was
when Chamrell, the visitors right tackle,
took the ball on their twenty-yard line
and went through the centre, and with
good interference by Warner, he ran
ninety yards for touchdown. In fact,
Chamrell, PARCELS and Rice all bucked
the line and ran the ends to perfection.
Rice, who played left half for the visi-
tors, was one of the best and pluckiest
players ever seen here.
Chamrell and Purcell We're as strong as
oxen and had very little trouble in buck
ing the line. For the High School it is
hard to pick any one man who played
better than the other, as they all played
the game Of their lives. But Captain
Huxley deserves great credit for the
manner in which he handled his men
and the way he tackled, as several times
he stopped the runner from scoring by
mis- sharp tackles.
Groves, Simmons, Golert, Lingo and
Lawton all tackled hard, and Gouert's $
thirty-yard run on a criss-cross was fine.
Law.on's kicking was very good. This
is the way it happened:
The High School won the toss, and de-
tended the west goal. Chamel kicked
off from the centre of the field to Gouert,
who ran it back fifteen yards. He then
went through the centre for two yards.
On the next play Huxley fumbled, but
got it again. Lawton then kicked out of
bounds, and Hates fell on it. Gouert
made one yard through the centre, and
on the next play he made the star run
for his team by making thirty yards on
a criss-cross around left end Simmons
then loses two yards, and then fumblcs,
but Huxley gets the ball. Lawton then
kicks to Purcell, who is downed by SIM
