GOES DOWN BEFORE MARY
LAND AGRICULTURE.
The Farmers Walk Away With The
Local Eleven With Score
of 2o to "a.

The eleven of Maryland Agriculn-
raj College overw helmed st. Johns
this morning by score of 20 70. 1,
inilicting the first defeat ever suffer
ed by the local college on the home
grounds from Maryland College.
ST. Johns played an excellent de-
fensiye game at times, but the vic
tory was riphtfully won by the Agri-
culturalists, whose fast backs and
ends gave mastery exposition of
the possibilities of football under
the new rules Particularly. the fast
and accurate work in forward pass
ing was what IS responsible for the
visitors victory.
BY winning the game today the Ag
ricultural College players take the
lead in the Maryland Inter-Ccllegiate
League and that team is the only one
which has not suffered defeat SO far.
st. Johns won from Washington last
Saturday and Washington defeated
Western Maryland yesterday, eonse-
quently, Maryland Agricultural stands
at the top of the quartette of colleges
which compose the association.
The visitors scored two of their
touchdowns in the first half and the
same number in the second. st. Johns
made its only score, a field goal kick
ed from placement by Bosley, towards
the end Of the first half. st. Johns
throughout played game which was
open 10 criticism for lack of judg-
ment and early in the first half threw
away its chance OF winning by at
tempting a field goal when within
fifteen yards Of the visitors goal
limo. The ball was then kicked out
OF danger by Cooper and two consec-
utivo penalties for slugging awarded
against St. John S put the bali close
to its goal line.
The visitors first touchdown was
made within three minutes of the
opening of sthe game. The visitors
kicked Off and after st. Johns had
failed TO gain, stevens made a mis-
erabel punt almost straight in the
air. Cooper recovered the ball and
ran TO st. John S five-yard line. on
the next play he carried the bail
across the line, but Mackall missed
the goal. The second score was made
on q fine delayed pass and quarterback
run by Byrd, after cleverly executed
forward passes had brought the ball
within striking distance. st. Johns
goal from the field was the last score
of the half.
st. John started the second half
like winners. They kicked off and
speedily forced a kick and received
the ball near midheld. a forward pass
from stevens to Brady netted fifteen
yards and Warfield made good gain.
BosIey fumbled an attempted forward
pass on the other end, but Quimby re-
covered the ball and carried it to the
visitors twenty-yard line. Unfortu-
nately, Quimby, who had been play
ing magnificent game for st. Johns,
lost his head and passed at an Agricul-
tural player who had. handled him a
little roughly. For this Quimby was
disqualified and the ball given to the
visitors half the distance TO st. John
goal line. which put il on the forty
five yard line. On the next play Clark
committed the same offense and was
disqualified, the ball going nearly to
the twenty-yard line. From this point
Byrd carried the ball over.
st Johnn's was overwhelmed from
this point and before time was called
Capt. Cooper scored another touch
down, long run OF Firor contributing
to the necessary yards. Baker missed
both of the goals in this half. The
st. Johns men took their defeat Bit
tsrly and many of the players broke
into sobs at the close of the game.
