cultural College q.
With its heavy back field working we'll
and green defense to oppose it, George
Washingtons foot ball team ran all over
the Maryland Agricultural College eleven
at the American League Park yesterday
afternoon, winning easily by score OF
% to 0. Except for few minutes in
the first half the game was one-sided
affair. and interesting only in that 1t
showed what marked Improvement has
been made in the Buff and Blue team
during the past week.
While George Washington's Interference
was ragged at times 10 degree that
| would have been fatal against heavy
and capable pair of ends. her backs got
away quickly and showed good judgment
| in advancing the ball. Morse. the star
| quarterback. proved conclusively that his
playing against Washington College a
week ago was not a flash by playing
| better yesterday. He was allie over the
| field yesterday, ran his team we'll, and
| wound up the game with beautiful field
| goal.
George Washingtons line was an i'm
pregna BILE barrier to the visitors who
were never able to gain through 1t. oc-
tiley snort
| distances, but never with any degree Of
| confidence. Frequently their kicks were
blocked and their interference stopped
| before it had chance to form by the
charging Buff and Blue forwards.
First Touchdown.
AS soon as George Washington settled
down, toward the close of the first half,
| Morse began trying out a varied as
| sortment Of plays. The first touchdown
| came as the result of a series of line
plunges by Crafts, Ellis and Farmer.
With the ball on Marylands 3-yard line
| Crafts was pushed through for touch
down. Whiting. failed to kick goal
George Washington's second score came
| toward the close of the first half on q
| wonderful forward pass from Morse To
| Whiting. The quarterback shot the ball
| clear across the field. to where the right
end was waiting for it., and Whiting
ran 3D. yards for touchdown. Whiting
kicked goal, and the score at the end
of the nrst half stood, George Washing
ton IL, Maryland D.
| Early in the second half Crafts gather
ed In short kick from the Maryland
fullback. slipped through the line and ran
80 yards for a touchdown. Whiting
| kicked goal. A series of line plunges.
end runs and fake plays brought another
within few minutes Of play, Ellis scor-
ing on fake end run and Whiting kick
| ing goal. With but twenty seconds to
play Morse made a beautiful drop kick
from the 35-yard line. The ball went
straight as an arrow and sailed over the
uprights. Final score, George Washing
ton, &c: Maryland, O.
| George Washington was frequently pen

land suffered some in this respect her
offenses were not frequent as those OF
| the local team Once George Washington
was penalized Is yards for coaching
| from the side lines. Bellows, one of the
substitutes, was responsible for this. Ref
cree GasS warned him twice and at his
third offense applied the penalty.
Bright Stars.
Morse, Ellis, Crafts. Farmer and Whit
ing were the bright particular stars for
| George Washington. Whiting, who
played game for Georgetown two weeks
ago and who was protested at the Ameri-
can League Park by Washington College
a week ago yesterday, put up an excel
| lent game at right end and Georgetown
was unfortunate to let such a good man
| get away from it. In the swap Of
Byrc for Whiting George Washington
| got all the best of it, since Morse, at
quarter, has Outshone Byrd SO far this
season.
For Maryland Capt. Saunders, at left
end, Shipley at quarterback and l.. Syi-
vester at fullback played well. The-vis-
itorS were Woefully green as to the finer
points of foot ball, but they played for
all that was In them all the time.
