University right end, for slugging Cum

minutes after the kick off. Umpire
Traoger observed Nicholson In the act
of administering no gentle face mas
sage and the player was ordered off the
gridiron.
The teams struggle to a to 0 score
and the st. Vincent men tossed away
what apparently should have been a
victory by continual wrangling among
the players as to the best manner Of ad-
vancing the ball.
Time and again during the second
half they rushed the ball within strik-
ing distance of the U. s. G. goal line,
only to enter into a heated discussion
as to what play should be attempted.
Time was heeting and the tired line

ing the intermission to come back fresh
for the fray.
Coach Homes for some reason or
other experienced a sudden change of
mind as regarded placing second
eleven on the field and the varsity
team went out to battle against the
Vincentians.
The game terminated with the best
of feeling manifested on either side
after grilling contest in which both
elevens seemed wrought to q nervous
tension over the rumors of intended
foul tactics.

fiercest tackling witnessed this year.
Determined not to give way without

fought for all that was in them, and
every inch of ground was bitterly con-.

the end,

Wilhoit's punting netted the st. Vim

line gaining ability. kept the ball IN
university territory during the major
portion of the game
Elliott of u. S. c., with Campbell and
Grindle of st. Vincents, were down the
field in fast style under the kicks and
run backs of either team, as a rule,
netted very little ground.
The prettiest play of the day came
off in the last half, when M. Mcdonald,
who had taken Seeley's place at quar-
ter. received Cass' punt while coming
in fast from where he had been playing

" the left of the goal posts and fell
IN the one-yard line, from where the
university men punted out of danger.
