I'INhC SoHtSSt vi tue CneCKe
board at the driving park las
IL week, between Stetson ant
Lake City, was an interesting
y and a peculiar one.
The two halves were as different il
general aspect and results as coulc
well besimagined.
In the first half the two phenome
nal features were, Stetson's magnif
cent hammering of opponents line
for an unbroken gain of so yards in II
minutes, and U. Of F's spectacular
end run of 50 yards. Total ground
gained by kicks, lst half, S. u, los
yards; u. of F. 20 yards, or an aver.
age of AZ yards per kick for our spler.
did full-back, Cox, as against 20 yar DIS
per kick for Lake City. In secon,
half Stetson kicked 10 yards, an av.
erage of % per kick, while Lake City
gave up in despair, resolving to trust
to her end runs for ground ganin /:
not once did she attempt to score by
Kicks in I'd half. Counting the 65.yar
end run of Lake City, her gains by
rushes, were, lst half, l45 yards; p.
half, 50 yards; Stetson, 1st half, 10
yards, and only 10 yards in I'd half, or
total ground gained by rushes: Stet.
son, l29 yards; Lake City, 23s yards.
Total ground gained by kicks and
rushes was, Stetson, first half, 27S
yards; U. of F., POS yards; I'd half,
Stetson, l29 yards; u of T., 1853 yards, !
total, Stetson, 4O7 yards; U. of F., 1853 |
In the second half the ball was kept
in U. of F.'s territory fully As of the
time, being carried towards the center
OF the field but twice in the entire half,
and as speedily carried back by Stet-
son; in the first half the ball was in
each territory about equally.
Stetson fumbled the ball times:
Lake City, ~ times. These figures
on fumbles are very large and point
to need of more careful work at criti.
cal moments.
StetsOn lost ball on downs in first
half, once; Lake City, once; in "a
half Lake City lost ball on downs 1
times; Stetson not once; total, Lake
City lost ball on downs 8 times, Stet.
'on, once. This shows clearly that
'ur line was holding steadily better
Ill the time, and Lake City losing in
his particular. In fact, all the means
'ur opponents had for gaining ground
we're long sweeping end runs, while
'tetson could gain by kicks as we'll as !,
lnc-bucks or short end runs Our
Inc was at no time SO riddled and
battered as was Lake City in the en-.
Ire game, especially in the first half. r
Stetson men were outweighed 10 :
ounds to a man, and won the game, E
Ut by mere luck" as some of the
ress correspondents would make Us
elieve, but by having a more all.
1und playing team, and superior gen.
ralship. Every man on Stetson team
well as on Lake City's team, played d
'r all that was in him; the game was
) hard fought battle as any ever
layed in the state. Our boys feel
ell pleased, on the whole, with the b
lowing made Nov. 9th, 1903.
