UNIVERSITY TOYS WITH co. F
Scores Five ToucF1downs with Ease.
Armory Boys Display Lack
Of Preparation

Dodging through a scattered field for
distance Of twenty yards, Lennox
quarterback of the u. S. G. team, placed
the ball squarely behind the goal posts
and scored the first touchdown of the
season in the game played between the
varsity and company F eleven on the
university campus yesterday afternoon
The final score was 2S to in favor OF
the Methodist aggregation.
For the initial struggle, the contest
was a fair exhibition on the part of the
university men, although the soldiers
were manifestly in poor condition and
displayed a woeful lack of physical
training.
Their line was like so much paper
before the charges of Holmes backs in
the initial stages of the game, and only
when four subs entered at the begin
ming of the second half were they able
to hold their ground, and at that he
university pushed them across for a
fifth touchdown.
The game hardly gives a line on the
university eleven as the disparity in
condition was marked, added to which
the lack of team work on the part of
company F men made anything but
individual work impossible.
AS is usual in opening games, the
college eleven played ragged ball, but
gave evidence of team work in their in
terference which at times was not bad,
The Haigler boys put up a good game,
Chester at right half gaining more dis
tance than any one man of his team.
Touchdowns Easy
Elliot of U. S. c. kicked off to Will
son, on the thirty-yard line, who re-
turned the ball five yards. After sew
eral short bucks, in which the soldiers
made their distance, they fumbled and
Shute of the U. S. c. fell on the leather.
When Haigler had gone through the
line for three yards, LennoX was given
the ball and ran twenty yards for a
touchdown.
Elliot missed goal, score to 0.
Rose kicked to Cass, who came back
fifteen yards. An eighteen-yard run by
Haigler, following fierce line bucking
by the college back field, scored the
second touchdown, Elliot missing the
easy goal. Score 10 to 0.
The longest run of the day occurred
with Best sprinting seventy-five yards
for u. S. C.'s third touchdown, aided
by the splendid interference of C. Haig-
Ter.
Elliot kicked goal and the score stood
16 to 0.
Rose kicked to Best, who ran it in ten
yards. After several good gains by
Lennox, Haigler took the ball and the
husky Arizonan cleared the right end
and covered the intervening space of
seventy yards for another touchdown.
With Elliot's goal the score was %
to 0. The half closed with the ball on
the soldiers thirty-yard line.
The opening of the second half found
new men in the university lineup and
the change was Immediately apparent,
the armory boys showing stronger.
Company F sent the leather whirling
to Best and then followed an exchange
in which both sides CANNED and lost
the ball several times. Willis, the 200
pound fullback of the all-star aggrega-
ton, did some effective work and gave
evidence that he has played the game
somewhere or other during his life.
The varsity men gradually worked
the ball down the field, the Armorys
fighting hard and making a strong
stand with the sphere one foot from
the goal line.
The advantage was short lived, how
ever, and a few minutes later Juan
Ocho the sub full. went over for the
last ouchdown of the day, as the time
keepers called the game.
Coach Holmes expressed himself as
fairly satisfied and predicted that the
team would play fast ball after the
raggedness of the first scrimmages had
worn Off.
