In the hardest fought battle evel
witnessed on University Field, the
Maryland Aggies and the Catholic
University elevens played to {
game yesterday, the Red and Black
team tying the score in the last
three minutes of play.
For three periods it was all the
Farmers, who time and again were
within scoring distance only to be
held for downs or to lose the ball
on a tumble In the third quarter,
Shipley intercepted a forward pass,
and ran fifty yards through the
Catholic eleven for a touchdown,
kicking beautiful goal as a finish
er. The work of the Aggies' quar-
ter stood out in marked contrast to
the other members of the team.
MANSEY MAKES TOUCHDOWN.
In the final period. with only three min
utes to play, Mcdonnell punted the ball
ping the ball, and Mansey, the former
Technical High star taking It Ecross
the line for a touchdown. Mcdonnell
booted the oval over the posts for the
tying score
BrOOkIanders Look Good.
For a team that has been out only two
weeks, and has only played one practice
me. the work of the Brookland eleven
V."s wonderful, the backs and ends pIow-
ing through the Aggies' defense for big
gains time and again. Hinchman, who
piloted the team the majority of the
game, put up a stellar article of football,
making several tackles that saved touch
downs, after the man with the ball had
broken away from. the field
Lynch, playing left end, and Merritt
the dashing half hack, were demons on
the defense, nothing going past the ag-
gressive little end of the Red and Black
eleven.
The work of Mcdonnell and BIuit was
spectacular. the former tearing off long
end runs, while Bluit was called upon to
make anywhere from 3 to yards on the
last down, and seldom failed to make
the required distance. McDonnelrs brok-
enfield running was one of the features
view, owing to the numerous wrangles
and disputes with the umpire. Two hours
were consumed by the game, with only
forty minutes of actual playing time, the
other being for arguments and wrangles.
Capt. Clancy Out.
Capt. Clancy. of the Catholic University
eleven, was out of the game owing to
an injured side, but stated during the
contest that he would be ready to play
in about two weeks. The return of
Clancy will be welcomed by the Red and
Black team as there is every prospect of
turning out a corklng good eleven this
season. The men displayed a good knowI-
edge of the game, and with the pep
that was shown yesterday, should be
able to give any of the lesser college
elevens in these parts a tough battle.
II looked as II the Farmers were going
to make a runaway game of It, for in
the second period, after working six
straight forward passes, Shipley was
showed over the line for what looked to
be touchdown, only to have Referee
Ryan decide otherwise, as Mcdonnell and
Shipley were fighting for the ball when
the referee reached the line. It. looked
like touchdown for the Farmers TO the
spectators and the men on the side line.
Shipley Star Quarter Back.
quarter back that has played on local
gridirons since the days OF Curley Byrd,
for this lads work was one of the fea-
lures Of the game. dividing honors with
Mcdonnell and Hinchman. The rival
quarters did good work, both on the
offense and defense, the playing of Ship
ley overshadowed that Of Hinchman
when carrying the ball. owing to the
better condition Of his men and the bet
ter interference. There was practically
no interference on the Catholic team
play, the man carrying the ball doing his
running alone. This, in way, was re-
sponsible for the Red and Black failing
to make several touchdowns.
The Farmers are In prime condition
for, the st. Johns game next Saturday,
which is the big contest on the Farmers
schedule, and II the showing OF the Ag-
giles against the aggressive Red and
Black aggregation yesterday counts for
anything, the battle at College Park
should be a hummer.
