-. HE TIE contest between the
RZ~ =. A. G. and d. W. c. of
Denver on Saturday a week
ago was the cause OF COM
plete turning over in the
football circles in that city
These two teams have been bitter riv-
ais Tor championship hcnors for the
past several years and up until the
above mentioned game d. A. G. has
always had the best of the argument
Early in the season the teams could
not settle on d game. as the managers
were afraid the conteso would result
in a riot but the game was finally ar
ranged with the understanding that
the rooters should be given different
sides Of the field, and that a strong
corps of police should be on hand TO
stop any uupleasantness that might
arise.
Next was the Sc. action of referee
and after discussion for several weeks
one Dr. IuNbury was agreed upon by
both sides, This man was the cause
of all the trouble that has been agi-
tating the football rOoters the past
week. He has been accused of steal
ing the game, accepting a bride sell
ing out. and has had his name placed
alongside that of Walter Earn. the
man who threw F'itzsimmons down in
his fight. with Sharkey in San Fran
cisco a few years back. This was the
Unl1indest GU of all, and was Gauss
over a decision he rendered which
seemed TO be in the wheel clubs IA
VOr.
In the second half the d. W. C.'s
kicked the ball from the center, send
ing it back of the d. A c. goal line
and in passing the latter's fullback he
accidentally touched il, which put the
whole y. w. G. team on side, after
which he had nothing to do but get the
ball and bring it as far back as pos
sible before going down. Just as the
runner stepped inside the field he
stumbled and fell on his own four-yarC
line, passing the ball to another run
ner at the time
Here IS where the famous decision
came in. TuXbUTy called il a forward
pass and gave the ball to the y. W. G
or the spot. The latter team had Onl!

Holmes the coach of the University,
was expected to enter the game, as it
was we'll known that he would
strengthen the team, and his name ap-
peared in the published line-ups but
at the last minute he decided not TO
play, thus using strictly student
team against the Christians. In the
first half the Varsity team played the
stronger ball and it looked as if 1t
would win out

The Game In Detail.
The University team won the toss
and took the west goal, and, receiving
! the kick. downed il on their thirty-five-
yard line. Weston hit the line for no
gain on the first down. Nelson got
around left END for one yard and Riser
hit center for another yard, making
/ two yards in the first three downs. and

: The latter team started a series OF
/ gains with Captain Margetts around
left end for two yards. Judge smith
| went the other end for three yards
when Margetts duplicated his play fol
/ another four yards and Allen followed
on fake interference play around
right end, gaining five yards for ms
trouble.
AT this point the playing was herc'
on both sides and all the grounf
gained was earned by the Christians
as the University fought every foot o
it. Scare and Margetts each hit tn
line and placed gain of two yards q
their credit. Allen went after WEI
