he ran headforemost into him and sent
him rolling along the ground. Tarpey
was past the whole Denver team with
an open field for a touchdown. Hats
flew in the air. st2id and stately society
matrons forgot their dignity, and a
mighty cheer arose. The Denver team
had by this time come to a full realiza-
tion of the status of affairs, and several
of their most fleet of foot were hot in
pursuit They gained gradually on the
fleeing runner and caught him on their
ltwenty-eight-yard line. 1t was clean,
bracing run of the kind that stirs all
the blood within the spectators veins.
While it would be a hard PROPOSE
ton to say who We're the star players
on the local eleven, the visitors We're
quite stellar and had five shining con-
stellations. De Claybrook, the colored
halfback, headed them ALL He was
nothing if not a whirlwind, and his at
tacks were comet-like. Let him get
well on his way toward the line and he
Would literally smash through it, car
rying everything with him. Even when
Isdowned he would -wriggle along the
ground for few feet. His colored

guard, played by far the best game in
the line, and did remarkable amount
of tackling for man in his position.

five yards behind the line, and started
like the oft-quoted 'streaked light

play followed another rapidly. and then
came still another just as rapidly. 1t
was battle royal, a fight to the
death. The speedy play of visitors
was no more speedy than that of the
local team, and it all served to make
the crowds hold their breaths and yell
alternately.

boy on the outside of the fence. it was
great host of enthusiasts. There were
many and varied sizes and shapes of
traps occupying the southern side of
| the field.
Perhaps the most interested specta-
tors were the urchins who hung around
in trees on the outside. All the knots
in the pine boards were knocked out
with rocks, and there the boys hung,
straining their eyes for even glimpse
of the inside of the field.
