North End Athletic club team anu
Salem Business College played a tie
game after 40 minutes of fast. clean
foot ball. The North Ends scored \
touchdown after minutes play In
the second half and the 400 spectators
let out hearty cheer when the visit
ors tied the score just as time was
called for the finish.
Akron people are loyal to home
teams and fair to visitors, but when
visiting team is cheered for tying
score there is usually a good reason
for it. The reason on this OCCASION
was the partisan work Of referee Will
liams who was manlfestly unjust to
the visitors ON several occasions and
gave the North Ends the ball when 1t
was apparent to all that it belonged
to the visitors.
One Of these decisions greatly aided
the North Ends to score their touch
down and took away much of the
glory they would otherwise have been
entitled to. The North Ends have inn
proved very much and really played
n good game. Their gains were made
mostly through individual efforts, how
ever, and Hardy made runs of 40 and
30 yards respectively without sem
bIance of interference.
Hardy, Doonan and Cassidy were the
stars of their team and did good work
throughout. The visitors played a
clean snappy game and showed good
form. Baille, II. Harris and Dunn
proved good ground gamers for Salem
and the dodging of Baillie was fea-
ture of their play.
The spectators could not be kept Off
the field and several times players and
spectators were mixed up in efforts
to advance the ball.
Harris kicked Off to Van Gorten ut
1886 and the latter brought 1t back
10 yards. After two attempts against
the line Hardy punted to Baille who
made yards. Salem then fumbled,
but kept the ball and, slowly worked
the ball down towards North End :
goal by n succession of clean, fas.
plays In which Salem's backs showed
up to good advantage.
With the ball on North Ends 3 yard
line the latter made n desperate stant
and were favored by the Salem team
fumbling at the critical moment. Nortl
Ends got the ball and Hardy droppc,
back for a punt. Instead he tucke'
the ball under his arm and set sail 70
the opposite end of the field. ii
