Visitors Were Heavier and
Better Drilled Than
the Locals.
rsinus. FL; George Washington, D.

Completely outclassed by her heavier
and better drilled opponents. George
Washington went down to defeat before
Ursinus I'm their foot ball game at Amer
lean League Park yesterday afternoon by
a score OF II to o. At no time did the
home team have Iook-in, and they were
lucky to have only four touchdowns scor-
ed against them. Occasionally George
Washington made gains. but they were
never consistent, and Ursinus' goal line
was never seriously threatened.
Morse Held His Own.
In just one department did George
Washington have a shade the better of
Crsinus and that was I'm the handling of
punts Morse made the best of all his
chances In running back punts while the
Trsinus backs frequently fumbled Morse's
kicks badly. In kicking Morse held his
own with Cav the Crsinus fullback and
once the speedy Buff and Blue quarter
pulled off a beautiful JO-yard run, which
resulted in nothing owing to the failure
of his teammates to carry the ball far
Their.
The Crsinus team is big and heavy. At
times yesterday il worked with great
speed. but usually it was the superior
physical strength of its men that 1t re-
lied upon. In Gay. Keiser. and Isenberg
the visitors had three backs of more than
usual ability Behind good interference
they made most of the visitors gains.
The individual work of Gay and lsen-
berg was particularly strong. They are
hard men to knock Off their feet and
frequently they shook the George Wash
ington tacklers off with apparent ease.
Ursinus' first touchdown came after
eight minutes of play in the first half
End runs brought the ball to within
striking distance and Keiser was car
ried over the line. Gay kicked goal
After twenty-five minutes of play Ursin-
Us again rushed the ball to George WASH
ington's goal line. This time Isenberg
crashed through the line for a touchdown.
Gay failed to kick goal.
Hatchetites Brace Up.
In the second half George Washington
braced decidedly and, for a while, ii look
ed as II she might accomplish some
thing. Hart was called upon frequently
and several times he tore through Ur-
sinus line for substantial gains. Through
the entire game Harris work stood out
conspicuously. He broke up many of
Crsinus' plays and followed the ball
closely In almost every play.
Ellis slipped around end for gains and
Farmer made several plunges through
the line. But I'm the end UrsinuS would
solve the Buff and Blue attack and check
IL before IL became dangerous.
Hamlin. who took Pagan's place at
left erd In the second half, pulled off a
stunt that gave George Washington one
Of her best chances to score. Morse
kicked and Keiser dropped the ball when
tackled. Hamlin fell on 1t on Ursinus'
30-yard line. But George Washington
failed to gain her distance. ana had to
kick.
