The Philadelphia Ledger of yesterday
had a special despatch from Washington
describing the foot ball game which Balti-
more Medical college won from George
town university 10 too. The rushes around
the ends and the line bucking of the "Med-
les" are described as 'almost irresistible, -
and their defence as "well nigh impregna-
ble." The ledger adds: The Baltimore
college played havoc with Georgetown s
line on tandem interference. They also
outran and outwitted their less formidable
opponents ON end plays and double pass
formations. Henkel was the star player
of the game and ran like deer, covering
s5 yards for goal in the first half.
