defend the north goal. thus securing

neutralized by breeze from the south.
Without further delay the u. of w. men
trotted across the white-lined field and
spread out TO receive the ball when IL took
Its first flight toward the goal of the per-
pie and gold. The s. A. c. warriors, In
their blue and white sweaters, lined up
preparatory to the attack. and while the
new leather egg was being placed In the
ring that marked the center Of the field
they ran around in small circles to keep
up healthy circulation. The s. A. c.
team was made up exactly as given in
the Post-lntelligencer yesterday morning
while the u. of w. showed two changes
Richardson had been substituted for
Schmidt at right guard. and Roundtree
Tor Hazard at right tackle. Both of these
players are we'll known, and Ii appeared
as if the L. of w. line had been material
ly strengthened.
When the preliminary work of fixing the
pail IN co.. rect attitude to be kicked had
been accomplished. Referee Abrams and
| Umpire Blaine took their positions and
everything waited on Larsen Blanck, the
slender, long-haired boy whose meteoric
| career as a full hack has been the talk
, OF the city this year. Every eye In the
| grand stand followed him as he advanced
toward the bail and gagged the distance.
The men OF the blue and white bars were
| on tp-toe. ready to charge down the field
/ upon the sturdy wearers Of the purple and
! gold, who stood ready and eager for the
| nrst taste OF battle. From the grand stand
beneath large banner of gold and purple
came the DEFIANT yell of the university
| adnerents while the supporters of the s.
| A. c. did as they usually do-yell in a
spasmodic. desultory manner.
There goes Blanck." yelled a small Inv
whose mead appeared over the fence from
the outside. No sooner were the words out
OF his mouth than Blanck was almost with
in kicking distance. The pretty pirI with
the black eyes and rosy cheeks forgot all

ing eve, and caught her breath with a half
gasp as Bianck swung his long. muscular
leg through the air. 1t was an easy. grace

OF IL, glad to have the suspense ended. 1t
shot up over the heads OF the u. OF w.
rushers, and taking a diagonal course To
the left, went on and on. There was a
grand scramble of purple and gold. Then
the ball shot out OF bounds across the side
line. ten yards from the end of the grid

girl. but can't Blanck kick" The ball
was brought back to center. Once more
Bianck brought his foot against Il, and
away 1t New on as pretty an angle as one
ever saw on football field. Straight as a
string and over the goal line. where 1t was
picked up by U. OF w. man. There was
some discussion as to whether the ball
should be brought back to the center and
kicked of again or given to the U. of w.
on their own twenty-hve-yard line. IL
| was finally decided that the rules pre-
scribed that the bail should be brought out
twenty-five yards from the goal line over
| which Il had been kicked The spectators
had little time to realize what was going on
before the two teams lined up and Capt.
Lindsay was Keeling off some "four-eleven-
! forty-four' symbols. SHREDDER made a
pretty pass back to Comedian Kelly who
turned just In time to give the ball to

rush that took everything before it.
