The South End Athletic club defeat
ed the North End Athletic club ON
Buchtel grounds, Saturday, after the
fastest and most interesting game seen
there this season. Twenty minute
halves were played and the fact that
only 80 seconds time was taken out
In the first half and but Ave minutes
in the second, testify to the superb
condition of the players, and both
teams finished the game with the
same players they started with. The
field was very slippery and end-runs
were out of the question. Both teams
played a good defensive game, but
were weak on offense, on account of
the poor footing. The only score was
a touchdown, after 91a minutes. in the
first half by Chamberlain, who made
q great pickup Of the ball after fun
BILE by the North Ends, and having a
clear field planted the ball behind the
North End goal. After that the fun
bles were few, and the teams were as
evenly matched as would be possible
to find, and 1t was continual see
saw with the ball, now in North Ends
and then In South Ends possession.
Chamberlaln's punts were all short
ones, but were, with one exception,
muffed by the North Ends. Boyd was
easily the star of the South Ends and
he often got through the line like
hawk and tackled North End runner
for a loss. This was especially true
during the last half when the North
Ends, by heroic line plunging, carried
the ball to the South Ends 25-yard
line, only to lose 1t on downs. Hardy,
Cassidy, Dietz. Doonan and Nelan
played good ball, and the North End
line was considerably stronger than
that which confronted the Planets last
Saturday. The North Ends delayed
the game by their late arrival and
Parker kicked goal off to Washer, at
3:4O, who returned 1t 10 yards. After
two tries, Chamberlain punted and
North End began to try their superior
weight against the South End line
They could make no headway, how
ever, and after North End was given
10 yards for offside. they again tried
mass plays against the tackles. On
the third attempt, a disastrous tumble
occurred, and Chamberlain was after
the ball like fash, and picking 1t
up, had clear field for touchdown,
amid the cheers of the South End root
ers. He kicked an easy goal. South
End 8-North End 0.
Boyd returned Parker's kick 20 yards
before biting the mud Moore made
three yards and then North End got
the ball on tumble. South End held
for downs and was forced Il
punt. 1t was short one and on tht
line up, Cassidy made three yards
through left tackle, but Hardy was
forced TO punt, and Chamberlain mad,
u great run, back, for 20 yards, Then
Washer made the longest gain OF The
day. He got past Doonan and made
20 yards before being downed. Hardy
tackled Moore for 5-yard loss
Stephens made two through the center
and Chamberlain punted to Hardy Oh
North Ends 35-yard line. Diets made
10 yards on tandem buck and Gas
sidy 10 yards around right end. Enc

The second half was repetition

with not more than 80 yards eithe
