SATURDAYS FOOT BALL GAMES.
Both Local Teams Won Over EIevens
From Baltimore.

The representatives of local foot ball did
themselves proud Saturday afternoon. The
Georgetown boys defeated the Maryland
University eleven by the score of II to 0,
and the Y. NJ. C. A. lads did even better
than the wearers of the blue and gray in
the matter of points made by defeating
the Druid Outing Club of Baltimore by the
score of % to o.
The day was almost perfect for foot ball
playing, but the spectators found the keen
air that swept over the gridirons rather
chilly. while the grounds were still quite
soft and the players were quickly covered
with mud. Good crowds attended both
games.
The game at Georgetown resulted in a
victory for the wearers of the blue and
gray on account of their center PLAYERS
being stronger and heavier than the VS.
itors. Many times the Georgetowners .ried
to skirt around the ends, but were driven
to d standstill and frequently lost the ball
in consequence. But when the center was
tried for gains the weakness of the Mary
landers soon became evident. Good gains
were made by the Georgetowners az every
rush, but their first goal result ed from a
disastrous tumble by the visitors full back
and the consequent pushing through the
center. The best work of the game was
done by Lenane, Reardon and Green of
the Georgetowns, while Capt Lewis and
Whitehurst played the most effectively for
the Marylanders.
The game at Van Ness PARK was well
played, but the heavy weight of the local
eleven carried everything before it. The
Druids were much lighter, and OF course
quicker on their feet, but when the sold
center push of the local team started after
Them 1t was all over but the shouting. 1t
is computed that The average weight Of the
local Y. NJ. c. A. boys is fully $50 pounds
while the Druids average was about $50 The
Druids have been quite successful this sea-
son. winning several hard-fought games,
while the Y. NJ. G. A. li1s hal not a VIC
tory to their credit For this reason alone
their victory on Saturday is appreciate ed
and more confidence has been added TO the
eleven thereby. Several good runs were
made by players on both sides. but the
center bucking of the local team is what
landed the easy victory. Mills, Weaver and
gamers for the locals, while Capt. Delaney
played brilliantly for the visitors.
