ST. JOHNS Wins AGAIN.
VICTORIOUS OVER THEIR
OLD RIVALS.
The Collegians Win From Hopkins
BY The Narrow Margin
of 6 To S.

Johns Hopkins was defeated by ST.
Johns, their old rivals, this morning
by the narrow margin of goal kicked
TO a goal missed Although disap.
pointed over coming SO close TO a vic
tory and then losing. the Hopkins boys
can console themselves with the fact
that their re-entry into the football
field was marked by a game in which
their work was most creditable, while
the local collegians have the credit of
beautiful and nervy uphill fight
The score was 6 TO 8, both scores be-
ling made in the second half The
honors were somewhat with Hopkins
in the first half. for it made decidedly
the steadier and longer line gains. At
the opening of the second half Blanck
received the ball from the kick-of and
although he did not handle il clean
ly, got off and ran through the whole
st. Johns eleven for a touchdown,
making the star individual play of the
game. DuvaI. who tried TO tackle
him, was hurdled. and the ball planted
behind the goal line. the goal, how
ever, was missed by Blank and with il
went the outcome of the game, as af-
forwards developed.
The undismayed fight which st.
Johns put mp after this discouraging
event marked them as true sportsmen
They refused to think of defeat and
put through the most difficult plays
without sign of nervousness. After
Duval had run back of the Hopkins
kickoff and one or two line plays had
been made with small gain, double
pass was tried from the kick forma.

most nicety of passing and seizing the
opportunity moment, yet it was sue
cessfully executed and Duyal ran forty
yards, putting the ball in the enemy s
territory. The fight here waged bit
terly, the ball passing on downs and
kicks several times. but about six
minutes before time was up the ball

field.
The same double pass worked again
and put ST. Johns within ten yards
of the opposing goal. Here Smith made
two substantial gains and Fullback
Ruhl carried the leather over, tieing
the score. Green won the game right
after by kicking the goal. The game
altogether was beautiful contest and

game which was at all time creditable.
During the heat of the contest there
was some rough play and Worthing-
ton and Jamison we're disqualified for
slugging, but on the whole the game
passed off cleanly. The Hopkins men
were heavier and more mature, but
the. superior training OF the locals told
towards the last and enabled victory
to be won by the lighter men. Too
much could not be said in praise of
the gritty work of the local boys,
who kept at it when defeat seemed
certain and win victory at the last.
