1t will be many a day before the fol-
lowers Of football at Brown will have
opportunity to witness a game more
strenuous and gruelling than was that
one played Saturday. when Amherst
beat Brown with score OF to o.
From the time the referee blew the
whistle for the first play till the game
ended. every minute of the plying was
devoted 10 magnificent football and the
fans had excitement galore. groanlng in
wardly when their fsvorite lost a yard
or two and cheering with each like
gain.
The two teams seemed 10 have meas
ured each others strength before the
lineup, for they went at each other de-
termined to do or die Amherst was not
% sfockily put together, nor did she
seem 10 have the weight of the local
team, but what she lacked in THAT de-
partment she made up in agility, and
the game would have been still more I'm
her favor had she not been penallzed
90 often.
For the most part OF the first half the
ball was in the visitors territory, but
the hg~ put up by both teams In this
half will go down In history as the pluck
fest that has ever been seen. Yale and
Harvard contests could furnish no more
hghting spirit than did that of Saturday.
when time after time one team would
hold for downs only 20 have the same
trick turned on them.
The most grinding part OF the game
was near the close OF the first half. when
the ball was near Amherst's goal. IL
had been taken down the field by hard
work and got as near the goal line/ss the
Vineyard line.
Amherst held for downs there in a
3 hn
sphere back - The eight-yard line. The
ball changed hands here several times.
after which the visitors by a couple OF
trick plays ard end runs carried the ball
20 the middle Of the cid for the end
Of the half.
The second half was a repetition OF the
frst with the exception chat Amherst
seemed TO have gotten new strength and
after having the ball see-saw over the
field for the most OF the allotted time
when there was about five minutes OF
play left, the ball was pushed over for
the only touchdown OF the day. II was
only over by few inches, and In a
place that made IL too difficult 10 kick
q goal.
The game ended with the ball in the !
middle OF the field. ana when the men
came out OF the game IL was realized
by each of them there had been battle. |
For the local team all the men played
their hardest. though the ends were it-
tie weak Schwinn seemed unable TO |
keep his feet at times. and lost several |
opportunities to tackle the man with the /
hall In this way and also lost some |
ground for his team.
Russ allowed himself To be boxed
several times also, so that Amherst got
around him. but he redeemed himselt
nv several great tackles. Golfer seemed
20 have the best OF his man at centre
beins the heavier and broke through
several times 10 stop the plays. HE was
also good in getting down the heid
Higgins. Savage, Pearsall, Schwartz
and Winslow, all aided I'm furnishing the
great playing OF the team. and IL was
4 misfortune when the last named hou
60 withdraw on account or injuries
For the visitors Coggessal ana crook
furnished the most brilliant playing
though every man called upon for special
EFFORT seemed to be equal to the OCCASION
II was a game long to be remembered.
and II will be many day before taking
