Kendall Green was the scene OF a fierce
| and hard fought football game yester-
day. when the eleven knights Of the pad
| ded suits from Villa Nova met defeat
at the hands of the Galaudet team. The
mutes completely outcIassed the visitors.
and were easy victors byta score of u to
! o. Had Geilfuss. of Gallaudet, kicked the
! pigsskin about eight inches farther to
the right than he did the score would
have been II to 0. but the wind carried
the ball outside the goal posts. and the
blue and yellow had to be content with
but two touchdowns.
The Villa Nova lads We're not in the
running at any time during the game.
In the first half. on the first kickoff, the
ball was fumbled by Powers, and one of
the mutes fell on it. The Gallaudet lads
forged straight ahead, and in five min
utes had landed the oval behind the goal
posts.
The mutes journeyed over to Westmin-
ster Md, Saturday, and piled up score
| OF 20 to o. and were In fine fettle yester-
day, when they lined up against the Villa
Nova aggregation. Neesam was seen at
right tackle yesterday. and played an ex-
very heavy this year, and they made their
avoirdupois count in yesterdays contest.
on several occasions, when both teams
were pushing to and from the goal, the
mutes swept the Villa Novas on in front
of them like 50 many flies. and made
them lose a great deal of ground.
The visitors are very weak on the ends.
and it took but a short time for the
mutes to discover this fact. All OF the
long advances were made around the
ends.
The Villa Nova team had close shave
at Lancaster last Saturday. when they
won from the Franklin and Marshall team
by the close score of II to IL. They put
up a good game yesterday, despite their
weakness on the ends, and when the
mutes butted into the centre they found
that there was nothing doing.
Dulan, Powers, Sullivan, and Harr were
the stars for the visitors, and all Of them
figured in the principal plays, and in sew
eraI individual plays, also. When the
visitors were hard pressed in the second
half, and Powers punted out OF danger,
Dulan ran up near the goal posts. When
the S1utes began to JugBle the pigSkip he
fell on it, and the play gave the white and
blue about thirty or forty yards. Powers
also made great gain when the ball was
near the centre OF the field. when he
raced around the right end and gained
about thirty yards. Adj or the men on
the line are expert tacklers. and some of
the prettiest work in that line was seen
when the mutes tried their mass plays.
The Kendall Green lads kicked OH hrst,
and the visitors brought the ball up to
their thirty-yard line, but on the tirst
lineup, when the pigskin was passed to
Powers, he fumbled il, and q mute fell
on it. After this the mutes made steady
gains until they got within ten yards of
the goal, when they were held Tor downs.

Erickson over the line, after five min
uJes' play.
Powers kicked off to the Gallaudet lads,
and sent the oval soaring dangerously
near the mutes' goal post. Powers is a
wonderful kicker his kicks averaging
hfty-hve yards, o. more. Every time ne

fifty-yard line. y aters was unfortunate
enough to get I. ball, and was downed
almost in his tracEs.l The .Gallauoet team
tried number of trick plays. and made
long gains around the ends AT one time
they were in close quarters, and tried a
mass play. But the visitors were wise
to the signals, and showed them back of
their starting point
The mutes tried their opponents centre,
and made several short gains. When the
ball was landed near the Villa Novas
tcn-yard line, AndIee hurdled over the
centre, and made the second touch
down for the yellow and blue. Time was
called soon as GeiHusSi kicked another
easy goal, making twelve for his team.
The second half was harder fought
than the first Several bad fumbles were
made. The mutes kicked off to the vts-
itors, and the latter brought the pigskin
back to the centre of the field. The ball
was exchanged several times on downs,

account of holding their opponents. When
