Owing to the fact that Trinity 5
team played an all-star game on
yesterday, Southwestern went down
in defeat on Trinity's gridiron by a
score of II to g. The time had come
when it was "up to Trinity" and the
boys who wear the uniforms for the
Maroon and Whit made good. The
season up to this game had not gene

this Something was forthcoming
in all due form ana ceremony whnE
the two teams faced each other yes

the Maroon and White was felt so
strongly before hand that demon
Istrations OF several sorts took place
during the day for the arousing OF
peditiOn boarded the tally-ho and
took in the principal streets III
the morning, yell practice was a con-
tinuous performance all over the hill
during the morning and afternoon,
eparations for a bonfire proceeded
Throughout the day on the assump-
tion that victory was sure, and every
thing indicated the intense interest
and determination to win, both on

! The game seemed to be rather with
| Southwestern University at the
start, the first scoring being on the
| part of the Georgetown boys. Trini-
| " kicked off, the ball is fought over
the middle of the field for five min
utes, till three forward passes for a
total of thirty-fiye yards, a recover
ed kick for 30 and three end runs
and two bucks for Is, during which
s yards were lost on set back tackles,
gave Southwestern her first and
/ only touchdown in the first eight
minutes of play,
Goal was kicked. Score, Southwes-
! tern 6 Trinity 0. Trinity looked
/ and felt blue, not the sunny, bright
blue of a summer sky, but the muir
! ky, muddy blue of some of the
clouds which threatened yesterday
morning to rain the game out. The
blue of dependency quickly turned
to the blue of rapidly advancing
streak, however and the local boys
moved like clock work down the
field Southwestern kicked off and
in the time between the kick off and
Trinity's S touchdown, Trinity in is
downs makes gains IA times, is
thrown for loss 4 times, and South
western on five downs kicks three
times, is thrown for loss once, and
gains once. These results are given
merely to show that Trinity pulled
together and did not give the visitors
q chance during the remainder OF
the half. McCollum went over fol
touchdown within five minutes OF
the end of the half, and karnel
kicked goal. Southwestern kicked of
and it was Trinity's ball in sever
downs for the rest of the half. Hood
returned the kick off to the 10 yarG
line, and the seven downs before the
| lalf ended were as follows: Ed
mondson 5, Word %, penalized mex
down 10, forward pass 10, Word 6
Edmondson 20, McCollum 6.
The second half was worse thar
the first The ball was in Southwes
terms territory the entire half will
the exception Of three or foul
downs. Trinity went through th'
line, round the ends, any and every
where, as she chose. Not that South
western was swept off her feet, bu
was clearly and cleanly outplayed ii
this half. McCollum scored Trinity
second touch down after the ball haC
been in play for | downs, II beins
Trinity's ball and Southwestern be
ing in possession of the pigskin 70
three downs. Goal failed. Trinity
near the middle of the half agail
had the ball within seven feet o
the goal line, but McCollum's fumbl
Twas all that kept him from SCORING
