EACH GOT A TOUCHDOWN.

A team of high school foot ball men
went to Wilbraham yesterday, and
played tie game with the Wesleyan
academy team, the score standing five
each. A touchdown was made by each
side, and each missed a chance at goal.
Worcester high made touchdown that
was not allowed on account of holding
in the line. Wesleyan made an at
tempt at a place kick from the field
from the 45-yard line, but it was
blocked.
The Worcester team was gotten up
hurriedly, and several of the best play
ers were not in the lineup. Dowd and
Moran, the three regular backs, were
not in the game. ia Wesleyan men
made their gains through the right of
the high school line, which was the only
weak spot on the team. They tried
end plays, but were thrown back with
loss every time. The Wesleyan men
had a big advantage in weight over
the high school goys, and 1t was that
weight that helped, for it was effect
i've against the right where the alb
sence of regulars was noticeable. The
high school boys took some of the reg
ular linemen and played them back
of the line in place of the absent
backs.
Wesleyan won the toss, and McKoan
hlCheu Oil. bT6CheuIluSG duNduCtu the
ball five yards, and then the Wesleyan
men smashed through Hagberg for re-
peated gains. They carried the ball
about % yards before high school got
together and held for downs. Rebboli
carried the ball 10 yards, and McAu
life added half a dozen. Rebboli then
took it over for touchdown, but UNI
pire Seeley called it back for holding
in the high school line, and gave it to
Wesleyan.
Wesleyan hit the high school right
continuously, and worked a guards
back play. A few end plays were tried
but Rebboli and McAuliffe nailed them
before they got under way. Wesleyan
hammered the high school right sue
cessfully, and carried the ball over.
A difficult try for goal failed. The
time of the touchdown was 16 minutes.
The half ended without further scor-
ing.
In the second half Ballard kicked off
to McAuliffe, who came back 10 yards
before he was downed. High school
rushed the ball down the field steadily,
never losing possession of it. McAu-
life took it over the last scrimmage,
being on ten our-yard line He planted
1t squarely between the goal posts, givv
ing Hagberg an easy chance to win the
game @by a successful try for the goal
out HagDeFg sent the pISShlH OH 10 one
side and the score was tie. The
time of the touchdown was lin. 35s.
Ballard kicked over the goal line,
and Burke, who brought it back, was
downed on the high school two-yard
line RebboH took it out of danger by
pretty run of is yards. High school
brought. the ball to the centre of the
field on less than half a dozen rushes,
but lost it on a tumble Wesleyan
| found they were being blocked in their
dashes at the high school right and
tried a place kick from the 45-yard line,
but Larkin went through and blocked
the kick. The game ended at that
point.
For Worcester high the ends played
exceptionally well, as did McGourty
and Larkin. The three backs were the
stars of the Wesleyan team. The line
