St. JOHNS JUBLANT.
1t Betters Navy's Score Against
The Same Team Played
This Season.

The friends of st. Johns College
are perfecly delighted over the show
ing of the football team on Saturday,
| when il defeated the Deaf Mutes of
Gallaudet College, in Washington, by
a score of % to 0.
.Gallaudet is an old rival of St.
\ Johns and the victory ON Saturday is
considered one Iof the greatest in the
history of football at the institution.
Those who have watched the work of
| the team this season believed that St
Johns has one of the best elevens that
can be found anywhere, considering
the lightness of the men.
On Saturday the team was without
the services of Mudd and Harrison, the
| regular guards, and the heaviest men
on the team. The M1dshipmen only
defeated Gallaudet by a score of II TO
| o, and il is regretted that st. Johns S
does not meet the Navy this year, as
comparative scores indicate a close
game. The Washington Post" has
the following account of the game
''St. Johns College yesterday worst
ed the Gallauet eleven on Kendall
Green by the score of 20 to 0. AS pre-
| dicted, the game was extremely inter
| esting from start to finish, it'll
standing the one-sided score.
"St. Johns team played fast game,
and il was owing to this that she took
the Gallaudet boys into camp. st.
Johns repeatedly hurdled the line in
such way as to invariably gain the
coveted five yards. Gallaudet failed
to stop this kind of play to any extent.
However, st. Johns gains through
Gallaudet's line were slow. She re-
lied upon end plays, and these, too
Gallaudet was unable to check.
''E. Duvall made the most gains for
st. Johns, repeatedly going around
the ends for gains of from 20 to 60
yards. His last run was made around
left end for 60 yards and a touch
down. He was easily the star of the
game. Gallaudet, when she had the
ball, made material gains, but was
unable to get within striking distance
of st. Johns goal save .once. Phelps,
upon whom Gallaudet usually depends
for end gains, was injured during the
first half, and his place was taken by
Peyton in the second.
"St. Johns opened the game by
kicking to Gallaudet's 5-yard line.

before he was downed. Here Gallau-
det made fatal blunder by fumbling
the ball on her 35-yard line, giving il
to st. Johns. The Annapolis boys
worked slowly up TO Gallaudet's goal
for her first touchdown. Try at goal
succeeded. ST. Johns made her other
two touchdowns of the first half in
short order. X. Duvall was instru-
mental in securing the third touch
down, going around right end for 80
yards Try for goal for last touch
down of the half failed. Score, St
Johns, IL; Gallaudet, o. The half
ended with ST. Johns holding the
ball on Gallaudet's lO-yard line.
"On the kickoff in the second half,
e. Duvall returned the ball 40 yards
before being downed. However, dur
ing the second half, Gallaudet braced
up, and held her adversaries stub
bornly. The playing at this stage
was the fiercest seen ON a local grid
iron for many years. There were sew
eral exchanges of kicks at this juno
ture, neither side being able to make
any headway. Gallaudet finally cap
tured the ball on a tumble by st.
Johns in the center of the field. Gal

and Stevenson skirted left end for 35
yards. Winemiller was sent to st.
Johns 2-yard line. This was the
nearest Gallaudet came to scoring. st.
Johns defense at this point was mas
terly, and she held Gallaudet for
downs. She secured the ball again on
Gallaudet's 35-yard line, and +. NDu-
vail carried it 60 yards for touch
down. This ended the scoring. The half
closed with the ball in Gallaudet's
possession on st. Johns 50-yard line.
Chandler, Winemiller and Meunier
did good work for Gallaudet, and were
the principal ground gamers for the
local team. Winston, at center, was
invincible in his position. Once, when
ST. Johns was making her gallant
stand on her 2-yard line, Winston
caught one of the st. Johns players
squarely amidships with his head,
lifted him high in the air, and like an
enraged bull, tossed him back several
feet over the heads of his comrades.
Stevenson also did good work in his
