hfOC " lWO Ou was Inc
bet offered to spectators as they entered
the Columbian grounds yesterday after
noon. The Maryland boys were confident
OF an easy victory, and their friends were
willing to back them for any amount.
Despite the heavy rains of Friday the
ground was dry and the cold wind made
the weather just suitable for foot ball.
Both teams were greeted with loud ap-
plause as they entered the gridiron. and
all through the game a spirit of good fell
lowship predominated The MARYLAND
boys were slightly the heavier, but
showed weakness on their ends, which
had ii not been for the good work of their
line, would have proved rataI to them in
the final result of the game. They tried
number of quarter back kicks and
failed in all but one attempt, owing to a
lack of practice. The quarter back was
unable to punt far enough outside his
linemen. Maryland also did a great deal
of fumbling, and the men did not appear
TO understand the signals
The Columbian eleven was merely a
patched-up team, number of substitutes
playing. Their line was weak, but on the
ends, where most of the old men were
playing, they showed up very strong.
The Varsity's center was strong, but
the tackles weak and il was through
them that most of Maryland's gains were
made
Lynch, Whitaker and Barrow all played
good game for the Orioles. T. Weaver,
Columbian's left half back, made the
brilliant runs of the day, his defensive
work was also very effective. and he and
Harry Beard and Norcom Justly wear
the title of ColumbIans crack players.
The officials discharged their duties TO
the satisfaction OF both teams, and the
game as whole, was a perfect sue
cess.
Details of the Game.
Beard, of Columbian, kicked off TO
Green, who was downed on the forty
yard line. The Maryland boys then
kicked to the Columbian's thirty-five-yard
line. Columbian now had the ball, and
through a series of line plays advanced it
for fifteen yards. Weaver made a beau
tiful end run for twelve yards. He re-
ceived no help and depended on his su-
perb lodging. After attempting to force
the line again the Varsity lost the ball
and Maryland, on receiving 1t, kicked
down the field to the thirty-hve-yard
line, where Rye fell on it. Some miser-
able fumbling followed, but through good
luck they regained the ball and gradually
worked it up the field until they were on
the Marylands thirty-fve-yard line. The
Orioles then ran the ends successfully for
short gains until they were on the five
yard line. Some more fumbling followed
and resulted in Rye, of Columbian, fall
ing on the ball and preventing Maryland
from scoring.
Columbian hit the line successfully for
five and ten yards, and Weaver made a
fine run of twenty yards, when time was
called and the first-half ended.
In the second half Barrows kicked off to
Beard, who was downed on the twenty
five yard line In the next play Column
bian kicked to the center OF the field
Both teams did some miserable fumbling
in the next two plays. Maryland lost the
bail on a tumble, and Columbian did the
same on the next play. A quarter back
kick was then tried by the Orioles, but
Tindell caught the ball for Columbian,
and in the play that followed they lost 1t
again on a foul. The Maryland boys then
forged their way steadily up the field two
and three yards at time, and finally
tried another quarter back kick, which
Harlan fell on, and it was Columbian's S
ball.
The Varsity boys We're successful for a
couple of plays, but the line of the Mary
landers was too strong for them, and
they lost the ball again on downs. Mary
land forced her way slowly up the field,
and with a good quarter hack kick, which
their left end caught, were soon on the
fifteen yard line.
The ball was given to Lynch, who went
around Columbian's right end for a
touchdown. Barrow failed to kick goal
and the score was Columbian 0, Mary
land 5.
