lug. ne lalleQ 10 KICK goal
1t was in the second half of the
game that w. V. y. played football
in rings around the w. & j. eleven.
The red and black never got within
rs yards lof West Virginia's goal
while their own goal was constantly
in danger. w. V. u. was playing a
stronger more aggressive game than
she had in the first half and w. d
j. was constantly on the defensive.
There was no stopping the march to
victory, and the Washington rooters
knew 1t. w. &. J. only gained SO
yards during the whole half Three
times the Varsity covered the
ground to w. 81 Us 20 yard line.
Twice the ball was lost on tumbling
and once they were penalized 20
yards for off side play.
Core, Smith, Simmons and Teas
carried the ball most Of the
time. The white headed boy from
Wheeling finally made bailliant
run and was tackled within a yard
of w. d. Us goal.
Only forty seconds remained to
play, but this was enough. West
Virginia would have needed only
ten seconds to carry 1t over. The
Varsity lined up, and just as Hay
mond was about to snap the ball,
Prowitt kicked 1t, and Want fell on
it. Referee, Brainerd gave the
West Virginian' half of the distance
to the goal line and warned w. & J.
that if the ball was interfered with
again, he would declare the game
forfeited Raymond again attempt
ed to snap the ball, and Hayes kick
ed it. Mr.. Bralnerd declared the
game forfeited to West Virginia.
The professional foot ballist and
slugger known as Captain Hayes,
then struck referee Brainerd and the
fight started. How many people hit
and were hit, how hard, how often,
and why, will never be fully told.
The field was so thickly crowded in
an instant that it was almost I'M
possible for any one to land a good
blow. People who saw the surging
sea of fighting humanity will never
forget it. 1t will always be remem-
bered here with pleasure that Wal
liams punched the face of the ruffian
Hayes, aud punched 1t good.
A second scrap started when Sim
mons attempted to take the foot ball
which had been used in the game.
He was attacked by three or four
players before any one came to his
rescue. But that foot ball is now in
Morgantown, in spite of declarations
to the contrary.
Fred Flenniken was arrested, but
was Immediately released on the
protest of the county recorder.
Dorsey Slime was not arrested.
Mr.. BRAINERD's STATEMENT.
Mr.. Brainerd says he did not re
taliate when Hayes struck him,
because he could not sacrifice the
of West Virginia's
cause by entering into fistic com
bat. He says he was not afraid of
Hayes and can thrash him, if neces-
sary. Everybody that knows Mr..
Brainerd knows this is true, and
honors him for acting just as he did.
lie did not have the w. d j. ruflian
arrested, because the director of
athletics over there promised to have
an apology from Hayes in the Pitts
burg papers. This he did not do,
and Mr.. Brainerd will prosecute him.
THE TEAS MATTER.
John Teas, U. of P's former giant
guard, played tackle for w. V. u.
No secret or denial is made of this.
Morgan, the regular tackle, has.
broken collar bone, and Teas was
hired to play against the profession
al, salaried captain of w. d j. This
he told Hayes. Eyes, | am Teas"
he said, land I'm hired to play
against you. You are professional
and are drawing a salary right now.
| know all about you, and so does
every body else. If you'll get ont OF
the game, | will"
Hayes tried to get out but his
coach kicked MIN back into
it. He slugged Teas IN the first
scrimmage and Teas slugged back.
Hayes showed a streak of yellow as
broad as the turn. pike. He left the
field and put his blanket on, but
Coach Seamon made him play on
Teas made baby Of him and thrash
ed him for being baby.
Slamons was also singled out for
an especial amount OF thumps and
kicks The Wheeling boy PLAYED
such fast and brilliant gnme, that
he was regarded as a ringer. He
was badly thumped and kicked, but
was in the game to the last
COACH TROUT PLEASED
Coach Trout is delighted with the
showing his men made. He says he
came to West Virginia TO train a
team to beat w. & J.. He has not
