Seminary football elevens clashed on
the gridiron, Saturday afternoon. and
at the end of the forty-five minutes
play the score was 90. the same that
resulted from the first meeting of these
twenty-five stubborn young warriors.
The local players had the advantage
in weight but this was more than off
set by the superior knowledge Of the
game, possessed by the gentlemen
from the Seminary. vino put up II
very foxy, sagacious article of the

of the first half the Kingston men al

From a spectators view. the game
was full of features. Crocker ana

in the game all the while for the visit

were always down the field under Tag

and from the st. Thomas side line
then came Il chant of Look out for
the Indian! Look out for the Indian!
when suddenly the Seminary captain
gave the left ends signal, and az the
dusky, stocky little fellow seized the
oval, his interference formed. and

Rogers. Hards and Keller of tho
Seminary all distinguished themselves

runs. On the ST. Thomas side. Johnny
Vaughan played as excellent an end as
his two fast opponents. He, too, was
down the field speedily under
O'Horos kicks and his tacklins was
deadly and sure This same kicking
OF James O'Horo was another feature.
The little quarter got the ball prompt
~ and easily and in each case the dis
tance was good and the height eX-

from tackle to end when Kirkwood's
ankle was injured, played fast game,
