"A Hurd Contest.


BEAUTIFUL weather and a game well ad-
verified drew fully 1000 spectators to Ma
tfcnaI park Yesterday afternoon to wit
ras~ the foo. hall contest between the elev-
el.- representing The Y. VI. g a. and Gal
Iaz:,ief College. The mutes came off victors
Wy The score Of II to q, and are entitled to
o. dit for their clean playing and masterful
rushing tactics.
As early a. / d clock spectators began to
enter IN" gates OF the park. and ut one time
,ilv line Of ticket buyers extended down
the lane from the park entrance 10 9TH
street. Most of the people present wore the
Calors OF the TWO teams, and as they filled
UP the large space of the grand stand or
crowded on the ropes surrounding the field
pretty picture WAS presented. ne it t
sex was represented in large numbers. the
brilllancy Of their costumes adding to the
al.imat ed picture of life and color The an
scrce Of encouraging SCllS noticeable
the Cfa!Iaudet followers doing the best their
iurtrtnity allowed, but the y. NJ. {. a. adj
na.Ters failed to get together in punches,
aGI as a result the encouragement given
the teams generally came from the codcn-
ers and substitutes along the side lines.

field, and after a few minutes OF tackles
passes and punt~ the boys drifted to their
bench and passed the time viewing the
spectators and chatting in the silent Ian
Euage with their friends The Y NJ c. A
came on he field late. it being but five
minutes before play was started and i'm
nIedia,ely after their short practice the
contest was opened.
NERVOUSNESS marked the play of the asso-
citation boys at the start. and at one time
It. looked as if complete walk-Over and
a large score would fall to the lot Of the
TuuteS. Instead Of taCkling low. the Y. NJ.
L. \. boys graspcd their opponents around
the shoulders or waist, and as a result.

salt better game was witnessed The
GdlIaudets played with puGnacious energy
from start To nutSh, and the wonder OF Il
an is that their score was not bigger.
" hen pluuging through the center it seem
81 impossible to stop them. and it was only
when a try made for end play that
strong opposition was encountered. Time
after time the game would be stopped 10
allow injured PLAYERS 20 regain their senses.
hB- il seemed a if the damaged ones were
always from the association ranks. See
ing the odds 50 much in favor of the mutes
il was the wonder Of the experts along the
sides that the association did not resort
more frequently 20 punting, as ii seemed TO
them that their best gains or defensive
stands were secured through this style Of
work
