COLLEGE HOLDS
SOLDIERS DOWN
Coach Tobin's Lightweights
Prevent Husky Warriors
From Scoring.

In two short halves the All Hallows
youngsters held down the Fort Douglas
team to a score of to on the fort
grounds yesterday afternoon. The out
come was IN the nature of surprise. as
II was not thought for minute that the
light colegians would be able to prevent
the heavy warriors from crossing their
goal line Each team once got within the
others twenty-yard line, tumble cost
ing the soldiers touchdown, and All
HaIlows went up against a line they
could not break when their opportunity
came to score. On these occasions it
looked as If a touchdown was possible,
but on no other occasion was there
chance Of scoring, barring a fluke, so
easily made under this years rules.
Fast, tricky work marked the game
played by the cOllegianS, and the heavier
old-style line plunging, with heavy men
making the plays, gained the distance for
the soldiers. The college was practically
unable 10 make any distance whatever on
line bucks; In fact, 1t did not gain the
distance a single time on this style of
play. Their trick plays and fake bucks
and end runs were fairly successful, and
on at least two occasions good gains
were made with straight end runs.
PIowed Through Line.
The soldiers were able to do good work
through the college line. where two-hun-
dred-pound men hit youngsters of a much
lighter caliber. On several occasions it
seemed as If their march down the grid
iron could not be stopped, but either a
tumble or a stone wall stand by the stu
dents stopped them long enough to kick
the ball out of danger.
Receiving the kickoff, the soldiers
marched down the gridirCn until within
the college twenty-yard line. Gains of
five to ten yards on straight football
were frequent. tumble gave the ball
TO the college, who kicked, recovered the
ma aGain on second down
on a tumble. The soldiers were shortly
after held for downs for the first time,
but the college could do nothing on Of
fensive and kicked to the soldiers TWEEN
ty-five-yard line. Again the soldiers were
held on downs, the first three, and a FUN
BILE lost the ball for the college on the
third down with some distance to gain.
Each team was compelled to kick, and
held for downs again during the first
half which ended with the ball in the
center of the field in All Hallows' pos
session.
Better Work by College.
While in the first half the game was al
most entirely in All Hallows' territory
the second half was just the reverse, and
II was the soldiers who were fighting to
keep from being scored on. During this
half the college twice tried for goal
from a place kick. Once il was blocked
and the other time the distance was too
great Two end runs of twelve yards by
Quinn and fifteen yards by FitZmaurice
I'm this half was the prettiest work seen
on the field during the game. After be-
ing held for downs on one occasion near
the center of the field. All Hallows kicked
and Murphy recovered the ball with a
clear field between him and a touchdown
IT looked sure for the lengthy lad. but
he got away slowly and ran more slow
". being pulled down from behind by a
two-hundred-pO soldier on the soldiers
ten-yard line. Here All HallOWS lost the
ball on downs and their chance to score
was gone.
