ton-To-Day's Golf MISUNDERSTANDING
and other Sporting Matters.
The Trinity Hall foot ball team de-
feated Linsly Institute yesterday after
noon in two 20 minute halves, on the
new ball park, before crowd of about
200 spectators. Linsly lost through a
lamentabiy weak line, although Captain
Caldwell could have easily prevented
til only score secured by the Washing
tonians, had he displayed any head
work whatsoever. The Trinity team
out weighed Linsly and for every play
through the line wide gaps were torn
open. The iii ht Linsly team which should
naturally have been the first to charge,
awaited the onslaught and were
swept aside by the rsuprior weight of
their opponents. Another factor which
aided in the defeat was that Mr. Eckels,
of Wash-Jeff, the Trinity official, did
not, or would not see the Trinity boys
in the interference using their hands,
sometimes to even throw down the as
saulting Linsly ends and backs. Mr..
Eckles also made several questionable
rulings when ne had charge of
the whistle. At times Linsly' S
defense was excellent Twice when
distance meant a touchdown
for the visitors they could not
make five feet. 1t was On like occa-
sion, in the first half, that Captain
Caldwell tried to run the ends for a
four yard gain on the last down instead
of punting, which would have prevented
a score as there only remand two min
uts of play. The distance was not
forth coming and with only three
yards to go, Schaulis was showed over
the lihe for the only touchdown in the
game

backs. At this point after failing to
gain twice, Trinity fumbled and Lnsly
recovered it On her own three yard
line.
Williams hit right tackle for two
yards and McGee did the same for left
tackle. Captain Ca-4well ploughed
through the center for the remaining
distance. After MCGEE made a slight
gain, Williams missea. Then Caldwell
would have saved the game by punt,
but instead he sent MCGEE around left
end, where he was nailed for a loss
by Kelley. and it was Trinity's ball. H.
