That was the score this afternoon of the
greatest football game ever played in
Lexington. The hero of the game was
Jones. He won the fight for his side. He
scored all the points. So strenuous were
his efforts that in the second half he was
compelled to retire, but he had won the
game. For two and a half hours the bat
tie royal was waged before a thousand
specta tors who were kept excited and
keyed up to the highest pitch
Never before has quiet Lexington seen
such an exhibition of athletics. All stores
and places of business were closed so that
those who cared might enjoy the sport
and they did.
The vanquished were as much heroes
as the victors and their good work is duly
commended
THE IRREPREsSIBLE JONES.
Varsity won the toss and kicked off.
For twenty-one minutes the ball was in
either sides possession and then a touch
down was made by Full-back Jones. who
was used in eight successive plays to
advance the ball-one a tllirty-yard run
around left end. another Of twenty yards
between tackle and guard. He kicked his
goal. Varsity came near scoring after
this, for they worked the ball to the
cadets fcur-yard line, where they were
held for downs.
THE GREAT JONES AGAIN.
This was their closest scoring. Then the
cadets hammered their line with but one
interruption. when a put was blocked, for
another touchdown by the great Jones.
He was used up and failed on kicking the
goal Just after 'Vars,ty's closest APP
proach to scoring. field goal from the
fifteen-yard line was attempted by Var
sity, but was blocked The half closed
after the second touchdown.
The second half resulted in neither side
scoring, although the Cadets came near
getting another touchdown. During this
half the ball went from one team to the
other on downs, and then again on punts.
in which 'Varsity's full-back. Warner. ex-
celled He rarely failed to get them off
and always for good gains.
ENCOUNTERED a STONEWALL.
The Cadets by straight line bucllng
advanced the ball to 'Varsty's three-yard
line, and were there held by a stonewall
for the necessary downs and possibly
touchdown.
Walker punted out to centre field. and
from then to the end of the game the ball
was first one and then the other teams.
When the whistle was blown for the close
of the game it was the Cadets on their
forty-vard line. BagleV was carried Off
the field in the first half and Captain
Dewey was out in the second half near the
close.
