!. THE U. /. U.--LENoX GAME.
The boys left Hopkinton singing
"The score will be twenty to nothing,
and all in our favor too" But when
they returned
The game was called at about 1870
o'clock in order that the Lenox men
might return on the 3:45 passenger. 1t
was one of those besstly free-for-a all
combsts, known in ancient Rome as q
"Gladiatorial Combat" but through the
refining influence of modern civilization
1t is christened football contest"
To stimulate rev enge and increase the
fighting spirit, great howl was raised
about the eligibility of one of Lenox's
men who was certified, bona-ffde col
lege student. After that little difficulty
was experienced in keeping up the tenn
perature, the game went on amid the
wild yells of the spectators.
Blood few freely as the best OF the
Drawn and sinew OF this great common
wealth wasI being offered up. Time
was frequently called for the men who
were repeatedly knocked out, in order
that they might draw back their expir-
ing life by the frail string with which
they held 1t.
The game went on until, for fear the
contestants would. become wholly ex-
hausted before the sanguine appetites
of the spectators were appeased, the
time-keepers called halt.
During the ten minutes in which the
contestants were allowed to get their
breath, the sympathisers were eager to
stimulate the subsiding anger and ex-
element. All the old grudges and per-
sonal differences were brought forward
and freely donated to the cause. With
their physical strength revived, and
little life left, the game went on until
barely time enough remained for fleet
horses to bear the visiting team to the
depot in time for the train.
Only eleven points were made and all
were given to the U. I. u; but the
game was pronounced great success,
and the people went away discussing
the various merits Of the star players,
and the prospect of those less brilliant
under favorable training, well satisfied
