Berea defeated Kentucky Wesleyan
In football by 1876 in a hard-fought
game here Monday, scoring her second
victory for the season. The Wesleyan
team was playing its first game away
from home in several years, and really
did Berea honor in picking her for
the occasion, but X. w. was a little
too anxious to win. and as a result
did considerable rough work. The
X. w. referee also, was somewhat ig-
norant OF the game, and somewhat
anxious to do ali that he could for
his side. and several OF his decisions
seemed more than questionable. Some
OF the Berea boys finally lost their
tempers as a result, and there was
rough work on their side, too. II is
asking q good deal of men to insist
that they must stand blows without
retaliation, but In this case, as in
many others, the smuggling and SO on
detracted from what would otherwise
have been a fine and clean cut VIC
tory.
The play was decidedly better than
week ago. There was better team
work. and fewer grand stand plays.

uted among the backs and all did we'll.

quent, and Powers field goal was
the most spectacular thing seen on the
field this year.
X. w. lacked the weight of Berea,
and tried to make up for It in slug
ging. She was not so well trained in
some ways-her team work was as
good, and some Of her men did good
individual playing, but they were not
up on the fine points OF the game, and
their quarter did not show very good
generalship.
Berea made the first score. The
ball worked back and forth some time

Wesleyan got her chance when a
kick was dropped by Berea and X.
w. man fell on the ball. Several
plunges and one end run carried it
down the field, and altho she was
penalized once for hurdling, she got
the ball over finally on an end run.
Goal made IL &C.
During the rest of the first half
Berea carried the ball steadily toward
X. WIS goal, and Barton showed up
for the first time in a play on tackle
which afterward netted many Of the
best gains. The half ended with the
ball on wesleyan's twelve yard line,
and going that way.
In the second half Berea carried the
ball goal-wards again, and seemed on
the point of scoring when Spradling
broke thru and tackled a runner for
heavy loss. Powers then dropped
back and made as pretty a drop kick
as one could wish to see. Score 1916.
The next goal was the longest in
making. Both X. w. and Berea would
carry it considerable distances only 70
be forced to kick, or to lose 1t on
fumbles or off side plays. Finally
Powers got a kick from Wesleyan in
the centre of the field. and ran 1t back
to the thirty-yard line. Three plunges
by Barton on tackle took it to the ten
yard line, Powers got five yards and
Barton took It over. Powers kicked a
fine goal. Score, 16-e,
Game was called on account OF
darkness, with four minutes to play.
