Handicap Not Enough For All Hal
lows Yesterday.
PLAYED A HARD GAME
COLLEGE BUCKING HARVEsTs
TWO ToUcE-DoWNs.
Four Touch Downs by the z. NJ. C. A.
Was a Gingery Struggle, Wit
messed by Large Crown--Eigh-
teen to Eight the Score.


NJ. c. A. remarked Connolly, the
sturdy Teuton of the All Hallows team.
just as the mists of evening we're be-
ginning to descend upon the university
campus yesterday. and the college boys
were preparing for last mad rush at
the Y. NJ. c. a. line
The Teuton was not the only one who
soliloquized III that way yesterday. The
Y. NJ. C. A. went up against the All
Hallows team with the intention and
assurance OF piucking from them
swift and easy victory, but 500 people
on the bleachers saw the college ath
letes garner tu-o touchdowns while the
Y. NJ. c. A. were harvesting four.
The Christians entered the contest
with q rather heavy handicap, as the
terms of the game gave them only
three downs to make the requisite five
yards, while the college youths were
privileged to manipulate four downs
to make their gain But even without
this advantage, the All Hallows' on
slaughts on the Y: NJ. c. "A. line would
have been q very dangerous and dis
spiriting affair. The young collegians
had one touchdown within ten minutes
afetr the play began, and they gained it
by steady, hard bucking against the
blue and white line.
The Y. NJ. c. A. was startled by the
fierceness of the attack, and while they
did some hard and gingery playing in
retaliation, it was through what COM
mon parlance calls a fluke that they
secured their first touchdown. 1t was
on tumble by All Hallows that the
the willy and alert Bagge saw his OPP
portunity, and jumping over the pros
trated forms of the enemy, he went
down beyond the goal with the ball
over a clear field.
The way the college boys pounded
through the center showed that the y.
M. c. a. had not improved by recent
changes, and that the presence of
Reading, Short and Smith constituted
strong bulwark. Clayburn was pun
ished at right guard, and gaping holes
were made frequently through the
place where Dykeman is supposed to
keep guard.
The punting of Roberts of the Y. NJ.
c. "A was a superior article, and behind
the line the team was as strong as of
yore. Allen dashed his way through
and over the line. and frequently scat
tered around like reeds the men who
vouchsafed to stay him. The way his
tall form went galloping from the 40
yard line to a touchdown was a scin-
tillating and brilliant thing. Good ser
vice was done by KnOWlton, the other
half, but his frequent fumbling of the
ball, caused by a damaged shoulder
was a source of dismay. Roberts went
headlong into the plays with more than
usual fervor, and Cross, Tarpey and
Johnson fought the battle for the blue
and white with their usual cleyerness.
Bagge was as good as a regiment at
left end.
The flaming brothers, leagued with
the stalwart Harrigan, pounded their
way with a striking precision to the
two touchdoWns they achieved. Almost
all their gains were executed through
the guards and tackles and both of
their touchdowns came as the result
of hard team work and stalwart in
reference. Talon did lively things as
quarter, but all his attempted punts
were blocked against tall Y. M c. A.
physiques.
The game began with Fannings kick
off to Johnson, who brought the oval
back about ten yards. KnoWltOn re-
ceived the ball and swung around the
end for 20 yards, but fumbled the ball
when he was thrown, and Harrington
lighted on it.
The college youths handled the
leather in sprightly way.
After few preliminary cen
ter bucks, Harrington swept
around the end for 25 yards, where he
was felled by Bagge. j. P. Tanning
added ten more and the college was
perilously near the goal. The Y. NJ
c. A. line braced itself for the next
attack but Harrington swept through
for a touchdown. The college lost an
opportunity for a goal by allowing
more than enc man to toy With the
ball before the kick.
This retired the pisskin to the mid
die of the field, where Aliens tan shoe
thudded against it. In the next mass
play there was a sudden tumble by the
Quarterback, due to NJ. Aliens mechi-
nations: Bagge flashed down on the
ball and had sped past the goal posts
for touchdown before the college boys
had recovered their equilibrium. Rob
erts kicked a goal, which changed the
complexion of the score to G 4 in favor
of the Christians.
Fleet-footed Allen and Knowlton
sped round the end for IS and 90 yard
gains, but just as the bali had reached
within five yards of the goal Knowl-
ton fumbled, and Fanning's foot
whacked against the ball but it failed
to soar, and a moment later Tarpey
was huggiag the leather on the other
side of the line and a second touch
down had been attained. Roberts
failed on the goal.
Long runs by Allen and punt by Rob-
erts brought the ball back quickly to
the danger section, and just as Allen
fell on the goal post line with the ball
the referees whistle sounded the end
of the first half. Roberts failed to
kick a goal,
Howell went in for short time as
full during the second half, but Knowl-
ton and Johnson retired on account of
Slight injuries. which changed Rob
erts back to full while HowelIs went
to half and Bookwalter took an end.
During this half Allen made a master
field for a touchdown. The ball was
kicked out to Allen from the side line
by Roberts, but Aliens hands We're be-
numbed and the opportunity for a goal
was lost.
One more goal was secured by All
Hallows. 1t was gained by some
steady line bucl1ing by Harrington and
flaming. They failed to kick a goal. |
