HOPKINS TEAM BLANKED.
Defeated by GnlIaudet by the Score
of IL to q.

The eleven gridron warriors from
Johns Hopkins University trudged out to
Kendall Green yesterday afternoon to
take a fall out of the Gsllaudet pigskin
husters, but were greatly surprised
when the mutes scored two touchdowns
without permitting the doctors to score.
The Johns Hopkins lads got the ball
very near the last line, but were held for
downs by the mutcs
Gallaudet had walkaway and did not
have to exert themselves to secure the
two touchdowns. They held their oppo-
nents for downs several times in the
first half. and after receiving the oval
they made a number of end runs which
easily averaged twenty-five yards each.
When the leather was within fifteen
yards of the goal Geiifuss skirted around
right end and scored the first touchdown.
He kicked an easy goal. making the score
6 to o.
The visitors had their line broken
through numerous occasions and
could not check the mutes, who went
through with terrific weight and force.
Waters, Andree, Geilfuss, Erickson,
and Neesam all made gains averaging
thirty yards each. Waters. a short.
chunky fellow, was the easiest to shove
through the line. When the team
needed ground he was given the pigskin,
and always made the required gains, and
often more. The rutes tried TO kick
goal from the field several times, but
were not successful.
The doctors were on the defensive
throughout the game, their main occupa-
tion being TO hold the mutes down to a
small score. They did not work hard
enough to secure a touchdown, but exert
ed all their efforts in preventing the
mutes from rolling up a big count against
them. Yearley, -Houghton, and Sayler did
excellent work on the line, and also made
long advances None of the visitors gains
were for more than fifteen yards, and
only two for that length were made. The
visitors were weak on the ends. The
mutes discovered this fact early in the
game, and ran around both ends for gains.
The doctors We're somewhat stronger in
the first half than they were in the sec
ond
Johns Hopkins kicked off to the mutes
and closed in on them without allowing
them to bring the leather back any dis
tance. The mutes tried several trick
plays, and were near the-eentre of the
field when they lost the pigskin on a fun
bic. The doctors were held for downs, and
the mutes sent Andree around left end
