Warren White Wash the U. s.
Artillery Eleven.
CAPTAIN PRENTISS A HERO
This Victory Justly Entities the
Local Team to the Con.
sideratiOn OF the
Big Four.

. Battered and driven down the long
way of the white-lined, muddy, and
trampled field, struggling manfully, the
Artillery School met its first defeat yes
terday afternoon.
Warren, 4; Artillery School, 0.
One touchdown made by the Warren
nv the irlcstible force OF the line-attack-
ing formations did it all. The Artillery
School made very stubborn and couragg-
eous fight Of it from the very first hope
full kickoff to the last weary and sore
hearted stand, when the early twilight
was creeping down and pitying shadows
were yelling the rout and the unavalllng
desperation OF the vanquish a.
There was no consolation OF hay
ing only four points scored
against them, for this was something
very unusual and this score won untold
glory for Captain Prentiss team OF dash
ing heroes Nor ever was victory fairer
won. The Artillery school was outplay-
ed and out-generalled. The Warren boys
played like demons, they frolicked joy
ously like yearlings in the blue grass
country, dashed into the fray with the
enthusiasm of a yellow pup, leading by
close length an attached string OF fire
crackers down an unobstructcd highway,
and tore about in scrimmages like a
/ bear in bee tree, when the bees have
seen him first. Harvard could gain
ground very seldom and what they did
was done by the fiery plunges of Long
Prentiss, Watson and S. James, who
MANY times dashed through the line like
a cannon ball The visitors seemed to
lose heart when they saw what they
ssSswere up against and their playing was
sssyerv seldom brilliant On the other
III hand, there was much to set the blood
aaleaping throughout the game in the
deadly and shattering assaults OF War
garen, and in the tremendous gains, when
IsPrentiss, Bailey, Mears and Mcdonnell
Mburst from the whirling and lighting
4 ll3nasses to shoot headlong for yards and
wizards, clean through and beyond, as if
/ fired from gun. The contest was mag
niticcnt. because Of the tierceness OF the
charge and the indonlitabe rallying after
n each successive shock, and the sensational
N incidents which happened when Warren
was forced to kick the ball and getting ii
u ,ain. There was no fancy football
4 Yesterday; starting from the three yard
Il line the Warren slammed and pranced
II through tackles and center till they had
M the ball over the line for Il touchdown
" It is needless to say that the 200 people
In the grounds, the majority OF them
that the Warren was sure to
Nh % lose, became raving, bowling and
k,ancing lunatics when Prentiss went
for touchdown. This is the play
