AIarylahd Agricultural College was
overwhelmingly defeated by George
Washingtons football squad at Ameri-
can League Park yesterday by 81 to o..
\ sloppy field hindered the work OF
both teams at all stages and duIled
the spirit Of play. Many fumbles were
the result OF the drizzling rain and
trick plays were likewise eliminated.
The Marylanders We're greatly out
weighed. but fought an uphill game to
the finish. The splendid work OF Hart,
Daugherty, and Ellis was too much for
the courageous band OF Marylanders.
Crapster delivered the goods in his posi-
tion and handled his team in the best
OF style, despite great odds. The for
ward pass was resorted to on several
occasions by both teams, but only once
was II effective, then when employed
by the Hatchetites. The Hatchetites
We're penaIzed many times for the use
OF their hands. but always made the
needed distance. The Aggies only once
scared the goal and that was on a
tumble of BYRD. The punting OF
Sylvester was not Up to scratch. and
when NJ. A. g. was held the sturdy full
failed to deliver the goods, and his
punts proved fatal
Through Line and Ends.
The Washington boys found little
difficulty I'm blowing through the Farm

runs were numerous The first touch
down was scored Hamilton in two min
utes by a run OF twenty yards around
left end. Witten kicked an easy goal.
Daugherty made the second when Hart
blocked Silvester's kick. and the pig
skin rolled behind the goal posts Wit
ten made a fiZzle out OF the next goal
The third goal was scored by Daugherty
on a run of forty yards through a scat
tered field. After a kick out WItten
made an easy goal. Ellis copied Daugh-
erty's stunt with run of thirty yards.
and Witten kicked his third down Hart
kicked to the MaryIanders when time
was called.
The University men hit the pace a
little harder in the second half. and
gathered two more touchdowns in that
half than in the first NJ A c. took
the kick to the Neutrality-suspicious.. The
Hatchetites gained several yards on line
scrimmage. bringing the oval near the
middle Of the field Ellis, by a splendid
Iun around right end made fifteen yards.
In the next scrimmage Ellis scored the
fifth touchdown, and Written kicked
goal. Crafts, who replaced Hamilton,
made the next five points after two
minutes of play on a run Of twenty
five yards Witten kicked goal. Ellis
made the next touchdown. the third
in five minutes, by recovering a tumble. !
Crafts punted out to Sommers on the
25-yard line, and Witten again kicked /
goal
The next goal was a heart breaker /
for the MaTylanders Ward blocked /
Harris kick, and S0mmers recovered the /
ball. Crafts was called on for the next 4
touchdown and made it after running 1
eighty yards Witten kicked an easy
goal ThraH replaced Hooten, and made /
the eleventh goal on his line pIunges. /
Ellis missed goal Thrau had the ball F..
on the 2-yard line when time was
called
The Hatchetites rolled up the same I
score that Navy did in her game
against the Farmers. This gives some /
idea Of the relative strength Of the
TWO teams, which meet Wednesday.
