Under the electric lights of the Salt
Palace arena last evening the Y. NJ. {. A
football team downed the Collegiate In
sutute eleven by a score of AZ TO 0. II was
a pity that there was not larger crowd
there to see the game. for despite its one
sidedness it was interesting as a novelty
ard as, spectacle. for it was the first
game that has ever been played in the
evening in the history of the game in
this city.
From the score the difference in the
strength of the two teams is sufficiently
evident. The Christians far out-weighed
the Collegiates. of course but it is not to
this alone that the size of the score is
due. nor even to the Shortness of the
field. The bah was in play exactly thirty
four minutes, and in. this time seven
touehdowns and seven goals We're made,
or q touchdown and goal every flVe
minutes of play. It-tOok team work and

there that the Christians shone Right

tain light. and they made il an almost
continuous procession down the field after
the kickoff. Only once were they held
for downs. and then it was due to loss
OF five yards on tumble.
Team Work of the Christians.

Bert Margetts. ihere was little TO choose.
ALIENS goai-kit1ing was a feature. He
kicked every goal easily seven of them
in all. Both Scare and OStler, as also
Dunno who was given a chance in the
second half proved fast and quick on the
ends The line was aggressive on the
offense and a stone wall when the Col
legiates tried to puncture it. The two
tackles. Smith and Henrotin, acted al
most as backs good portion of the time,
and both proved good ground-gaiHsTs.
