HAD THE ADVANTAGE
FARMERS BRAcED IN THE LAST HALF
And Showed The Ball to GuiIford's 20 Yard
line but Each Time Failed to Make
Their Distance Through the Line Of
the QuakerS,

NfONloTu (0Hcge ana tue ~, anu NJ
eleveps played the most evenly contested
game OF the season ON the fair grounds
gridjron yesterday afternoon, The Quak-
erS were a distinct surprise both in Of
fenSive and defensive playing and it
was manifest from the first that the
easy victory the Farmers had been prom
Using themselves would not come their
way. The fashion after which Guilford
proceeded to get in the game" from
the start was a caution and throughout
the first half ~ and NJ. was kept on
the defensive and several times it looked
like Guilford would score, but each
time failed. During the whole of the
first half the ball was never in the
territory of Guilford after the kickoff,
once it was brought to the Farmers
5-yard line and much OF the time it
lowered about the 20-yard line, the half
ending with the ball only u yards from
their goal.
In the second half the A. and NJ.
played better ball and almost reversed
the first half, keeping the ball ali the
time in Guilford's territory and carry
ing it up several lines to the 20yard
line. Each time however, the visitors
responded to the call of their captain and
held the A. and NJ. for downs, gaining
the ball. Twice in succession with only
one yard to gain the A. and NJ. failed on
Guilford's line when the goal of the
latter was in danger. At the end of
the half the ball was ON Guilford's %
yard line.
Guilford had stout line, her backs
were of good weight and reasonably
fast and seldom failed to gain on
rushes, though they made little around
the ends save twice ON a double pass.
4. and NJ. made some good gains around
left but Wilson at right was too much
in the way and his tackling was one
of the features of the game. Both sides
played with considerable snap but re-
peated slight injuries TO players greatly
delayed the game, requiring an hour and
quarter to play two Commute halves.
The A. and N. also displayed a rather
unbecoming tendency to kick, though
the game throughout was clean and
good-humored as between the teams.
Neither side scored.
