by 8 score Of II 10 o in the herces'
battle seen in this city In years. Tine
visitors were outplayed at every stage
of the game and threatened the home
goal only twice during the contei'.
4Eastern College had expected 10
score a rather easy victory over the
locals and defeat came as a surprise
to them and their supporters. How
ever. it was not at all surprising TO
the local enthusiasts who have
watched st. yincent's work this sea-
son, for the locals have played great
ball throughout and have won from
all corners.
Hami!tor, the star.
Hancock Hamilton, swho played
Quarterbackefor Eastern early in the

game. sffe received a number OF hard
knocks from the visiting players ana
was hurt two or three times, but he
stuck the gamesput and afterwards
was carried from the field by a crowd
OF joyfu, rooters. He ran his team
well and made a number of lcng gains
himself on ca runs. He also scorec
the second touchdown for the locals
in the fourth quarter. recovering a
fumblec punt and rfnning thirty yarsss
to the gcal line.
Charles Allen also starred for the
locals, making number OF end runs.
Captsin Wilkinson. Cochran. Tom Al
len. Zimmerman and Sutton also dfd
good work and. as usual. st. vincent's
line held well against the attacks OF
the visiting Dackfleld men.

plunges and Fullback Cochran was
sent ever the line for the first touch
down. c., Allen missed the goa.
making the score 5to o.
Neither side was able to score IN
the second and third periods and IL
looked as If the final count would be
5 to 0. bast In the closing quarter Car
roll fumbled a aunt and Hamilton
scooped the leather in and. with a
clear field, scored a touchdown. HAM
ilton kicked the goal.
Carroll, who formerly played han.
back for St. vincent's, came in tor
the brunt of the local attack and was
SO, badly sinjured that he had to De
removed from the game in the last
quarter, Jones taking his place. Car.
roll did not play up to his usual good
form.
s. WrsnsIing Over Decisions.
The game was married by much
wrangling over the decisions OF the
referee and many delays resulted, II
being necessary to refer to the rule
book on numerous occasions. How
ever, the slowness of play did not
seem TO dampen the ardor Of the ma
jority of the spectators
While both teams used the forward
pass TO some extent. straight football
was largely rescrted to and 1t proved
the best and surest ground gamer for
both sides. The locals worked the
forward pass efiener and with better
snrcess than Eastern and they also
zained much more ground than the
vieltors could on end runs and line
Sencer was easily the star for Eas,.
ern' bnt Norris. HAYES. Rector and
Bell also played good ball.
