sTILLED AUDIENCE IN MOMENT.
Presence Of Mind Of Daniel Webster
Averted Great Peril.


Once, when Daniel Webster was ad.
dressing a political meeting in Faneuil
hall, the standing multitude within the
hall, pressed by those who were en-
deavoring to enter from without, be-
gan to sway to and fro, a solid mass
of human bodies, as helpless to coun-
teract the movement as IL Faneuil
hall were being rocked by an earth
quake. The orator was in the midst
of stirring appeal, urging the neces-
sity Of individual exertion and I'M
fiinching patriotism to avert the dan
gers that threatened the political
party whose principles he espoused,
when he perceived the terrible sway
ing of the packed assembly and the
imminent danger that might ensue.
Webster stopped short in the middle
of q sentence, advanced to the edge
of the platform, extended his arm in
an authoritative attitude, and, in a
stentorian voice of command, cried
out; Let each man stand firm!" The
effect was instantaneous. Each man
stood firm; the great heaving mass
of humanity regained its equilibrium,
and, save the long breath of relief
that filed the air, perfect stiffness en-
sued. THAT" exclaimed the great
orator, is what we call self-govern-
mentl"

unable to resume play this season.
It was learned this morning that the
injury IS no more than brulse on
his thigh. Johnson expects TO be out
for practice next week
Although Overwhelmingly defeated,
the Maryland Aggies find consolation
in the fact that they cut in half the
one Of the strongest teams In the his
tory OF the school, and with a little
more weight In the line would have
reduced the score considerably.
A field goal from the 35-yard line.
scored in the last second of play by
Bryan Morse, George Washington
quarterback, was easily the feature of
the game. The kick was made from
an angie the pigs.dn sailing re feet
above the cross bar and directly be
tween the uDrights.
The touchdown scored by George
Washington in the last few seconds OF
play Of the first half on a Well-eXecuted
forward pass from Morse TO Wuyting,
showed an excellent piece Of heal work.
In time out because of an injury to
a NJ. a. c. player, Whyting left II team
and walked over 10 the side line. When
play was resumed he took a position
near the side line and received a perfect
forward pass from Morse. Having an
open field, a touchdown was easily
scored.
George Washington lost over 100 yards
through penalties. On the other hand,
the Marylanders lost but twent.' ards
fifteen yards on poorly exc Jted
forward pass and five for offside play.
