| Columbian also ran.
This is all that can be said of the
/ local eleven's part in the gridiron battle
yesterday in which the victors were the
aggregation from Franklin and Marshall
College, of Lancaster, Pa.
The score was SO to 0. 1t just about
represents the difference in the kind of
football played by the two teams.
Up and down the historic sod at the
old National League ball park the visi-
tors chased the sons of the District. al
lowing them at no time to approach
within striking distance of their goal.
Columbian went down gamely, with
| colors flying. but she went down. Her
men died hard. but they died, and were
buried under a mass of Drawn, muscle,
nerve, and activity which it has seldom
been their lot to encounter
Columbian Outweighed.
But careful consideration of the rel
ative strength of the two teams shows
that no other result could have been
possible. In the first place Columbian
was outweighed five or ten pounds to the
man.
Franklin and Marshall being much far
ther North than Columbian. the team is
further advanced in practice.
In addition to general all around abili-
ty and team work the visiting aggre-
cation was fortunate in the possession
of two or three star players From be-
ginning to end II was case of too much
Kilheffer, this gentleman being the right
halfback for Franklin and Marshall He
was all over the field.
Used Two Plays.
The visitors used two plays almost ex
clusively. The first was to run the ends.
after moving the guards over and the
second to butt the line, one of the backs
carrying the ball going in first. On
defensive work the visitors had little
opportunity to show their strength, as
Columbian had the ball but few times In
the game. Columbian failed to make
any impression on the visiting line. The
few times when she had the ball her
backs got around the end once or twice
for a good gain, although the opposing
forwards played havoc with her inter
ference.
The game was called promptly at 4:30.
Franklin and Marshall kicked off from
the north goal, the ball going out of
bounds. 1t was brought back twenty
FIVE yards. and kicked off slightly be-
yond the center Of the field. Franklin
and Marshall at once began their severe
onslaught. and five minutes from the call
of time forced the oval beyond the last
white bar for a touchdown. Kilheffer
kicked goal. ~ ,s -,,
Second Goal Easy.
Columbian fell down on her kickoff,
and the opponents bucked the line
straight down the field for another
touchdown, making the score IL to 0.
On her next kickoff Columbian sent
the leather forty-five yards to Horn. VINO
galloped UPHELD until he was tackled By
Poe. who received an ugly kick In the
face In stopping the big fellow. and had
to be carried to the dressing room by
his friends or the side lines. Although
painfully bruised on the side of his face
Poe was not seriously injured.
The visitors worked UPHELD to the CEN
ter. where Columbian was given the ball |
for outside play. After two trials with
out gain the ball was punted forty yards,
the visitors running back twenty-five
Time was called with ball near the CEN
Ter OF the field in Franklin and Mar
shall's possession.
The second half was practically n
repetition OF the first, except that the
visitors made twice as many scores
when time was finally called they had
made total of six touchdowns and six
goals.
