An intensely interesting and excit-
ing game Of football was played by the
teams representing the Linsly Insti-
tute and the City High School yester-
day afternoon on the new ball park,
from the fact that the victory decided
the city scolastic championship, and
Linsly wen. An exceptionally large
crowd was in attendance. The two
elevens were evenly matched in every
thing but weight, the High School
team outweighing their opponents
about Is pounds to man. In both
halves the High School came close to
scoring but the Linslys worked the ball
out CT danger.
In the first half, High School won
the tess choosing the east goal Cald-
well, for Linsiy, kicked off to Cra-
craft on the 80 yard line, who advanced
the ball 10 yards before being downed.
By mass plays en- the line and excel
lent interference on end plays High
School carried the ball to Linsly's 10
yard line. Here the Linsly made a
stand and held their opponents on
downs. Linsly then kept the bail,
working it steadily out OF danger, un-
til time was called with the ball on
the 80 yard line.
In the second half High School, as
in the first half. rushed the ball to
the Linsly 5 yard line. Again LinsIy
made sand and held on downs. On
the second down a brilliant 90 yard
run by MCGEE around lett carried the
ball cut 81 immediate danger and Old
Linsly's supporters breathed easier
Linsly then began to work the guard
and tackle over play to great advan-
tage, working the ball past the center
of the field and into the enemys ter
ritory. On the High School 40 yard
line, left guard and tackle were called
over. The interference formed fault
lessly, and cpsned letting Otto out with
Pickett between him and the goal
Pickett advanced to meet him but miss
ed his tackle and Otto went over the
line for the only touchdown of the
game. Caldwell missed the goal.
L:nsly5-High School 0.
With only minutes of play left,
the High School secured the ball on
tumble. They played hard and fast,
but to no use. The ball was on the
Linsly 40 yard line when time was
called.
Otto's playing for Linsly was phe-
