Foot Ball.


For the first time for the past four years
the team representing the All Woodbury. s
met defeat at the hands of an out of
the town eleven, and rather bad defeat
at that, the Germantown Y. M. G. A. rum
ming up score of IS to 0-3 touchdowns
and goals.
AS soon as the visitors appeared on the
grounds the spectators began drawing
conclusions as to the score, some prophecy
ing a regular walkover for the Y. nj. G. A.
men, as the Woodbury. team were out
weighted Is or Is pounds to the man and
besides that up against one OF the finest
amateur teams in Philadelphia, who prac-
tice and play football as regularly as they
eat their meals.
After the first two or three downs, the
home team having the kick off, the boys
knew that defeat was staring them in the
face, but they played that much the
harder smashing up the visitors almost per-
feet interference and downing the man
with the ball, but almost always for gain
for the Germantown's, being unable to hold
them for downs. The visitors worked
down the field smashing into the tackles
and guards and then around the ends, lay
ing the home players out every three or
four downs drawing nearer the locals goal,
until when about 80 yards from the goal
posts the home team secured the ball
and cheered the rooters hearts by gaining
some ground but being compelled to kick.
The visitors made their first touchdown on
tumble and kicked a goal. They scored
no more points the first half.
The second half the Y. M. c. A. IS made
two goals, having everything their own
way, working trick play around Wood
bnrY,s left end for touchdown.
