Fierce Foot Ball Contest.
The game of foot ball at the Episcopal
High School yesterday afternoon between
the High School eleven and the team from
Western Maryland College was one of the
hercest contests ever seen here. Only one
brief half of fifteen minutes was played as
the visitors were compelled to leave the
grounds to catch train. Neither side
was able to cross the enemy's goal, and SO
hard and furious was the playing that at
no time did either goal seem in serious
danger. There was much smuggling and
many penalties for fouls We're inflicted
While the visitors cid receive a rough re-
ception the charge they are understood TO
have made that the High School strength
ened its team by University of Virginia
players is altogether without foundation.
Macgin, who played left end was var
sity player last year, but is now an in
structor at the school, The team lined up
as reported in The Star yesterday The
High School boys were confident of winning
in the second half.
