PREPS DEFEAT DUPoNTs.
An Interesting Game on the George.
town CampuS.

The Georgetown Preps met and defeated
the Duponts on the college campus yester-
day afternoon. The game was the cause
of much conjecture, as the Duponts were
known TO be a strong and well-trained
team. while the Preps had not suffered
defeat this year.
The game proved to be an easy article
for the Preps, who outplayed and out
tricked their opponents at every point:
The Duponts were unable to gain either
by end plays or through the line. and as
a consequence they did not make more
than ten yards during the game, while
the Preps ran around the ends and bat
tered their opponents line at will.
Capt. Edmonston showed himself to be
a thorough general by the manner in
which he marshaled his forces. Darkness
called the game after the first five min
utes of the second half. when the score
stood 36 TO in favor of the Preps. The
