THE SCORE WAS 63 TO 0

From the standpoint of football enthu- siast who loves the game for the scrim- mage itself the gridiron contest yester- day afternoon between Howard college and Grant university of Chattanooga was veritab1e farce Without opposition, the Howard players chased the ball down the field time after time, and had con tinuous effort not left them devoid as to wind and strength, there is no way of estimating the number of points that might have been made.
 As it was the Howard aggregation scored eleven touchdowns and kicked eight goals. the total score being 6 to O.
 After the ball was first snapped it was seen that the Grant aggregation was hardly out of the High school class. The boys understood little of the game, were slow on their feet, and exceedingly weak There defense was weak and immature. Their offense was weaker, if anything, did the Grant aggregation make the re- quired ten yards in three downs
 Brilliant Trick Plays.
 On the other hand, Howard did not lose the ball a single time on downs. The local boys played the visitors off their feet It was a valuable practice game for Howard. Every trick known to Coach Counselman was made use of, and the working of the forward pass was beau tiful and spectacular. Again and again was the trick attempted, and but a single time was it a failure The double pass and the triple pass, the quarterback run and the quarterback kick, the fake kick and every other artifice was sue cessfully worked on the boys from Chat tanooga. In addition, the Howard backs broke into the weak line of Grant and tore 1t into a thousand pieces. They would skirt the ends of the Chattanooga aggre- gation for gains varying from twenty to forty yards. There were a dozen sensa- tional runs, the longest being made by Bill Duke, who, on a forward pass, dashed towards the western goal for sixty yards. Several spectacular runs were made by Stakeley, the swift quarterback of the team. He was decidedly the star of the game and the backbone of the team. His generalship was superb. His every attempt was crowned with suc- cess He could play quarterback for sev- eral of the stronger teams in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association. Of the l eleven touchdowns scored by Howard | Stakeley made six. Of ten goals attempted he was successful eight times. The other l special star of the game was Halfbacl | Miles. His interference was great. At the conclusion of the first half the l score was 34 to 0, six touchdowns ano | four goals aggregating that number oi l points. In the second half five touchdowns | and four goals were made. This reveals | the fact that Towards team is excep- l tionally fast, even considering the weak | 1ings opposed.
 The touchdowns were made by Stake | lev G. Miles, Moon ?, Duke, w., and | Denny.
 Laurel for Howard.
 The showing made by Howard was su- perb The team representing that insti- | tuition this season is worthy of honorable ! mention in any southern company. The l University of Alabama was played this ! season and won by score of only IA tc l O. and Tulane was tied. The team de- | feated yesterday by a score Of 63 to U : was defeated by the Georgia Tech, thls i season by a score of 45 to O. This Woulo indicate that Howard is just as strong 1 as is Auburn. or the Georgia School ol 1 Technology The defeated team, with the 1 exception of one change, defeated th' l University of Tennessee last season lhls speaks wonders for Howard, and TOT l Coach Counselman He has traihed hiS i men thoroughly and superoly' =,
