eleven, in it's first home appearance.
defeated the Thirteenth Regiment
representatives by the crushing score
of $50. Splendid ball the college
boys played, too but their opponents
were handicapped by injuries to two
OF their best players and through
out the entire second half had but
ten men in line.
The one bright, redeeming feature
Of the afternoon was the general per-
xormance Of Captain "Rabbie" Kipla,
- the soldiers. "Rnbbie" was. to use
vulgar parlance, the whole game. In
other words he was at" He was both
leading tragedian and first comedian
and his work in both roles was emf
nently satisfying.
The st. Thomas team put up mag
nifcent game. The defensive work
was almost faultless, as the heavy line
held like a band of STEEL and the
tackling Of the ends was like the grasp
Of a spring trap. When St. Thomas
had the ball, both backs and the men
in the line would inevitably break
through the soldier boys for long
gains. The interference formed
splendidly and from the first it was
lessly outclassed.
GREGORY NOT IN GAME.
Gregory, the llard-playing Regimen
tai half back, did not appear on the
grounds and End keeefe took his
place. Finnigan was switched around
to end and Miller put in at tackle. A
few minutes after play began, Charlie
Adams was forced to leave, on ac-
count Of an injury, and Surdam was
then brought in to tackle and Miller
switched to end. Towards the end of
the first half. Miller was battered and
bruised to such an extent that he,
too, left the game, after which Cap
tain Kiple struggled along with but
ten men.
Dick Gendall and kcefe were con-
tinually run with the ball by Kiple
and neither Of them could gain. Fine
player that Gendall is, he would,
nevertheless, be downed time after
time without gain, as the st. Thomas
men broke through the soldiers line
without any effort and downed the
runner. No interference was formed
by the Thirteenth, and towards the
ind of the game, whenever the team
obtained the ball they made no effort
TO gain but merely attempted to punt
out of danger.
McAndrew, the st. Thomas half
back, made the most sensational play
oI the day in the second half. 1t was
After Kelliher scored q touchdown.
Rreig kicked off and Vaughan ran the
ball back thirty-tive yards. On the
next play McAndrews' signal was
given. The stocky little half back
grabbed the ball and with a fierce
plunge went through the Regimental
line and dashed down the field for full
ly seventy yards and a touchdown.
SCORED TWICE.
st. Thomas scored twice in the first
half, strong rushes carrying the ball
to the ten-yard line and Hadgins TAX
ing 1t over for the first score, and
Kelliher making another shortly after,
when the same tactics had carried the
ball to the posts. Jimmy O'Horo
kicked both goals. In the second half
a twenty-five-yard run by Kelliher
brought the ball within few feet of
the line and an instant later he took
it over for a touchdown. O'Horo
missed the goal. McAndrew then
made his great run and O'Horo kicked
the goal, making the score $50. The

Gridiron Gleanings.
Hadglns, who last year played with
he Carbondale Indians, played splen-
did game for st. Thomas, Saturday.
The college boys used with great sue
cess the double pass from halfback to
end.
The game was hard one on the
players, and nearly every man carried
some marks of the fray last night.
keefe's ear was badly cut, and Had
gins face resembed that of German
duellst.
Jimmy O'Horo kicked well. His
punts We're long and high, and his
place kicking accurate,
st. Thomas line is about as heavy
and strong a one as can be found in
teams of its class in the state.
The only approach to any individual
encounters Saturday took place when
Haggerty and Niver, the two big
guards who opposed each other,
growled angry threats after one of the
scrimmages, and made, ugly move
ments at each other.
