The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-10-29

In one of the prettiest and cleanest
games of the season the Scranton High
rchool eleven Saturday afternoon met
and doWned the team representing

boys were outclassed by the loca
players who tore their line to pieces
and who on the defense easily resisted
the attacks of the Academy backs.

formation throughout the game and
the only time that it proved at all
effective was towards the end of the
second half when several short gains
through the line aided by long run
by Beers, put the ball dangerously
near the High school goal. Then the
Scranton boys took q brace and held
their opponents for four downs.
There were many pretty individual
plays. the High school. however. excel

tniluh and Captain Gene Tropp was
magnificent. Tropp giving a splendid
exhibition of end running, while Weiss
enfiuh bucked the line in Il way which
was as balm of Gilcad to the High
school rooters present and which also
tasted like Il beverage knCwn as
wormwood to the few loyal enthusiasts
who came down from Factoryville
with their eleven.
