The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1900-10-11

The Gallaudets proved too much for the
| Central High School team yesterday
| afternoon when. after two fifteen-minute
| halls Of rather listless play on Kendall
| Green. the score stood Ii to In favor Of
| the collegians. While of course it was
| hardly expected the High School Young
sters would be able to beat the college
| boys, if they had played with more life
the score would have been kept at lower
| figure. The young players did not seem
| to enter into The play with the desperation
that goes far to win a hard game, bu: on
| the contrary appeared content to hold
| their opponents to three touchdowns.
In the early part of the first half the
High School held the Gallaudets almost on
even terms. After that Gallaudet seemed
to have little trouble in piercing the line
or circling the ends. The High School
players for the most part tackled too high
and would be dragged by the Gallaudet
backs, who often made ground while one
or two men were hanging onto them.
Andre, halfback of Gallaudet, made all of
the three touchdowns his team scored.
Waters played a first-class game, as did
Guilfuss. who kicked two goals. The best
work for Central was done by Captain
Tindall. The team work Of both elevens
was rather ragged, but considering that
| neither has played before this season they
showed fairly we'll. large number Of
High School students were at the game
and rooted Loyalty for their team.
The game began about o'clock The
High School won the toss and elected to
defend the south goal. Fifteen minutes
were decided upon as the length OF the
, halves. Guilfuss kicked off for Gallaudet,
, and the oval sailed to Corsa on the 15-yard
line: he returned number of yards and
then made pretty running pass to Brush,
who carried the ball nearly to the centre
of the field. Line smashes by Tindall and
the other backs netted slight gains, and
then the High School was compelled to
punt. Waters caught the ball on the Gal
laudet 2J-yard line, and was downed in
his tracks. Then Gallaudet began to buck
the line and run the ends. and made the
! required distance nearly every time. An
dree made twenty-yard dash around left
end. and Miller and Waters added fifteen
yards by line smashes and one end run.
The ball was now on the 15-yard line and
Andree made dash close around left end,
and dragging couple OF would-b tacklers,
placed the oval behind the posts. Guilfuss
kicked goal and the score stood 6 to in
favor OF Gallaudet. The High School did
their best playing in the first part of this
half. and more than held their own with
the heavier team.
Brush kicked off to Miller who fumbled.
Waters picked up the ball, but was tackled
before he had come back five yards. The
High School team seemed rather dis
heartened. and the Gallaudet backs APP
paTently had no trouble in piercing the
line or circling the ends. Time was called
with the ball In possession of Gallaudet in
the middle of the field.
Brush kicked off at the beginning of the
second half, and the pigskin went 10 Wat
ers on the 5-yard line. He returned If
teen yards. Gallaudet started In and fair
ly ran away with the High School team,
gaining the necessary distance on every
third down. and often circling the ends or
breaking through the line for ten and fif-
teen yards. The High School braced up a
trifie when their goal was threatened. but
their heavier opponents were too much for
them, and Andree made his second touch
down five minutes after the call for play.
Guilfuss kicked goal. Score: Gallaudet
L.: High School. 0.
Brush kicked off and Guilfuss returned
the ball four yards. Andree then circled
left end for eighteen yards but dropped
the ball when tackled. Senior fell on IT,
but the High School fumbied the next
play. Each team seemed unable to hold
the pigskin. and 1t changed hands once
more On tumble. At this time the ball
was on the High School 35-yard line. and
Gallaudet started down the field for the
High School goal at rapid rate. Andree
carried the ball over by short end run.
