not even the officials or the members
of the University team noticed the
error. Nothing was said about it, how
ever, and these oversights did not have
any effect on the result Of the game.
GrOesbeck's goal from the field was
as pretty one as ever seen on a local
gridiron. 1t was not a difficult goal
, 70 kick, by any means, but it could
not have been sent truer to the mark
in a hundred trys. His failure to kick
a second goal only missed by a small
fraction, and had the distance not been
50 great it would have surely resulted
in another score.
Guards Goal Never in Danger.
Never during the game was the
Guards goal in danger, and after
few minutes play it was merely
question of how large the score would
be. The crowd numbered about 1000,
and was about equally divided in re-
gard to rooters- Many expected to see
the players mix up, but, happily, all
this was avoided. GroesDeck had to
warn Wilson several times to keep his
hands off, and came nearly ordering
him out Of the game on two or three

players stood the game without much

a dispute arose over the question of
the time of the halves, Groesbeck con-
tending for twenty-five minutes, while
Captain Brown wanted a full thirty

by the rule book, which says the time
Of halves must be thirty-five minutes

tail of the game follows:
The Game in Detail.
At 1914 p. m. Bennion kicked off to
Groesbeck on the Guards Vineyard
line, and the latter brought the ball
back fifteen yards before going down.
Davis try around left end was a fail
ure, and Groesbeck followed with four
yards around the other end. Hazard
hit the left end for a yard, and Davis
made three around the other side of
the line. Christy was given the ball
for the first time and cleverly worked
his way for fifteen yards around right
end before going down. Groesbeck's
line buck gained a yard, and Hazard
followed on the same kind of a play
for five yards.
Big Carlson stopped Groesbeck on
the next try, throwing him back, and
Zilligan stopped Davis on a right end
run for only two yards gain. The
Guards captain then got three yards
outside Of right tackle and hurdIel on
the next play for three yards more.
Hazard lost two yards, but Davis fol-
lowed with a run around left end for
seven yards. Burmister hit Groesbeck
on the latter's next try, downing him
hard and causing Scott to tumble the
ball, but Guard man got it again
in the same scramble. Hazard was
then sent through for six yards, and
10 HI for
four yards through the line.
Davis Skirts End For Ten Yards.
The same player tried again for a
skirted left end, with good interior
ence. for ten yards. Christy was tried
on the same kind of a play around the
other end, but lost four yards. The
second down gained six yards by
Groesbeck's end run, and the Guard
captain just forced the ball over on
the third down for the necessary dis

the attempt was misplayed, Quarter
back Bassett carrying the ball without
passing il first TO another player and
gained ten yards.
The officials overlooked this infringe
ment OF the rules, and as no one pro-
{ tested, 1t was let pass. Davis got
around the right end for six yards, and
Bassett fumbled the next play, Brown
getting the ball by a mile. but in the
wrangle that followed over the posses
sion Of the oval it was given to the
Guards Hazard went outside of left
tackle for three yards, when Carlson
sent Groesbeck back for no gain.
Christy Scores a Touchdown.
Davis again went around left end
for four yards. when Christv was given
the ball, and by splendid end run
or fourteen yards and scarcely any
interference, he side-stepped two Var
sity tackles and scored the first and
only touchdown Of the game. Groes-
beck kicked an easy goal. Score
