The Detailed Summary
Tells the Tale.
st. Johns College foot ball team came
t. town yesterday, and it seemed like o'd
times to see them here again, as the boys
are Just as jolly as they were several
years ago, and they had lively time
going out in the cars. Yesterday was a
good day for foot ball, and athe people
appreciated it by turning out in good
numbers. The Delaware College rooters
on one side Of the field, with horns and
rattles made themselves heard all through
the game. st. John had no rooters with
them, but they had many friends in the
crowd who made themselves heard when
the boys from Annapolis made any bril-
liant plays. 1t was the prettiest game Of
foot ball that has been played here this
season, as it was full Of many brilliant
runs, fine line bucking::saand many
sensational tackles. Captain Blanchard,
of the St. John team, was the particular
star of his team, a. his SO yard run
around the left end was Of the highest
order as he by his fine lodging and
swerving eluded five men and placed
the ball between the goal posts for a
touch down. And we cannot leave out
Brady, whose line bucking and running
was simply out of sight. Speates and
Sin Clair also ran we'll with the ball,
ripping holes in Delaware's line big
enough to drive a horse and wagon
through. The stars Of Delaware College
were Pierce, Wolf and Mason, who,
when Delaware used her guards back
interference smade great gains through
the st. John line. In fact this was the
only play that Delaware could gain on as
the st. John ends were inpenetrable.
Vansant and Mason also tackled we'll.
