gridiron yesterday afternoon by the score
OF = to o. Spectacular runs and open
playing made the game much less tire
some to the spectators than the result
would Indicate, Although George Wash
incton outweighed the Mutes at least ten
pounds 20 the man. they found the Ken
dali Green line practically impresnabie.
Realizing that but little ground could be
gained by resorting to line bucking,
Capt Steenersou employed plays around
the ends and past the tackles. and TO
good advantage.

easy win over their silent opponents,
