ture Of Game
By Edward L. Moriarty

college eleven by score OF 30 to In
the game played at Fiesta park yes
terday afternoon.
The resumption Of hostilities at the
opening OF the second half witnessed
one of the most thrilling plays ever
seen on a local gridiron, and when
Tories. the right half of the Indian
team. received the ball on the kick off
at the three-yard line and ran the
length Of the field for q touchdown, the
st. Vincent men apparently went to
pieces and for the remainder of the
game the Riversiders scored almost at
will.
The long run was sensat ational in the
extreme and as the little aborigine
darted and squirmed through the field
of tacklers that vainly endeavored to
reach his elusive form and finally
planted the ball behind the goal posts,
the crowd in the bleachers sent UP q
round of cheers.
The suddenness of it all appeared to
take the spirit from the Saints, and
there was nothing further to the game
but a constant succession Of long runs
and pIunges.
Result a Surprise
The result was something of a sur
prise, as many had anticipated that the
collegians would give the Indians a
harder tussle in view of the form
which they had displayed during the
latter part of the season. Haggerty's s
squad was no match for HempePs ag
gregation, and although they started
at fast clip, holding the Riversiders
to a strong defense, they wore down
under the plunges, which hammered
their line to pieces in the last half.
The forwards were unequal to the
strain and the back field, which played
q strong defensive game, could not pre-
vent the inevitable result.
The first half was productive of but
one touchdown, and a hard fought Sec
ond half was anticipated when the
whistle sent the ball whirling for the
commencement of the latter part of the
contest.
BY all odds the feature of the holiday
game was the playing of Tories, who
proved himself to be one of the fastest
runners through scattered field that
has made his appearance in the south.
His long dash for practically the length
of the gridiron was but one of a series
OF brilliant runs, and he seemed inn
pervious to the diving tacklers, who,
in the majority of instances, landed
with a jolt on the ground instead of
securing hold on the whirlwind of an
Indian. He was an adept at running
backwards when the force Of an i'm
perfect tackle threw him from the
course, and 1t was not until both
elevens had congregated upon his back
that the ball ceased its onward move
ment.
It was largely the play of Tories that
enilVened the rather slow contest, and
in addition to gaining more ground
than any one man, he also planted his
foot behind the ball for five goals from
the five touchdowns, thereby netting
his team quintet of points.
Wilhoit Is Injured
Individually many of the Vincen-
tians played hard, fast ball, but fum-
bling and lack of strength in the line
We're mainly responsible for the Indian
score. An unfortunate occurrence at
the commencement of the came prob
ably had much to do with the outcome.

He was obliged to leave the field and
q substitute took his place. Wilhoit's
absence was severe drawback to the
chances of the st. Vincent team, for
i'll addition to the weakening Of the
line, his punting, which averages fifty
or more yards, was lost to the eleven.
Lane, Phelps and McElroy played
good ball in the line and Grindell at
end made the longest run of the day
for the collegians. He gained a clear
field, and dashed twenty yards only to
stumble when touchdown seemed i'm
niinent. He endeavored to regain his
feet but two or more of Indian weight
bore him back to earth.
Mcdonald at quarter with Cunning
ham, Andreas and Acker backed the
line consistently, but at times there was
apparently nothing to stop the crush
OF Indlanism until the secondary de-
fense was encountered.

FumbIes Mar Play
Several bad funbles on either side
illarred the performance and in one
instance an Indian misplay, which the
st. Vincent men were slow to take ad-
vantage Of. resulted In the first touch
down. on the st. Vincent seven-y yard
line, near the close OF the first half,
an Indian fumbled the leather and it
rolled behind the goal line. Lubo fall

The last touchdown in which Tories
ran twenty yards for the goal was an
exhibition of the art of lodging and
the Indian finally landed the ball be-
tween the posts, after shaking off five
different tacklers who had secured more
or less OF a firm hold upon him.
