on defense, though he was not sue
cessful in attack. the play was lit
tie fast for him.
What shall we say of Canady and
Brown, Meharry's tackles? Were we
to talk and describe from the rising
of the sun to the setting thereof, the
half could not be told. Canady with
his dreadful Etulk time after time
tore up the Fisk line and made his
ten and twelve yards; time and TIME
again he stopped the rushes Of the
enemy; in fact, the only man on
Fisk's team that could make any
Roadway and gain any glory through
his side of the line was the unspeak-
able Powell Brown? He is the most
graceful and the most joy-inspiring
player the writer has ever seen. Dead
ly and unerring in his tackling ano
rate and courageous in his attack
he arouses all the aesthetic polemics
in a mans nature. Fisk's center,
real novice at the game, was a most
interesting study. He was every
where tackling and never firing, as
often on the ends as any other place.
The guards were all husky, even if
incompatible in size. McBeth, Fisk,
is so low that he seems inconsequen,
tial; but ah, so deceiving! 1t is
doubtful if one inch of ground was
gained over his allotted space How
ell, his mate, was more aggressive,
and was sometimes seen mixing it
away from his station. Captain Kin
die did not play his usual offensive
game always so attractive, for when
he first tried a kick, he sprained his
leg; but he was all, all, and very
much all there in the defense and In
handling his men. He's a great cap
tain as we'll as great player.
Meharry's back field was not the
equal of Fisk, even Lewis clearly out
played and outgeneraled the mighty
Zubar, and that is playing some! Me-
harry's daughty general lifted a beau
tiful goal from the field. AS to team
play, there was the greatest difference
and had Meharry adopted in the be-
ginning what she adopted in the
fourth quarter, there might have been
a different tale to tell; for often it
was found out that Fisk could not
stop her opponents back field, regard
less of what was attempted. Zubar
began to change his mode Of attack,
using his big guards as interference
for his mighty tackles; the rushes
were practically unstoppable, and
time and time alone saved Fisk from
a dreadful possibility. Fisk showed
superiority; she played the plays that
won and played them in time. That
shift of Meharry's was awful. Once
and again it swept the whole Fisk
line into nothingness; but out of
somewhere some Fisk man would rise
and throttle the man with the bah
before too much damage was done.
Fisk shone in her following the bali
and in her dazzling execution of this
forward pass, as we'll as in breaking
up the forward passes of the enemy.
She also eXcelled in handling of
punts, and although Sublette fumbled
one bail, he was all there ever after
wards and was in a great degree re-
sponsible for the outcome of the
game.
Well, the game is over and is his.
tory. Fisk is happy and Meharry
ought not to be sorry, for she played
q great game, and the game was clean
and grand. Those twenty-five young
men were all tried by the fire and the
greatest and most gratifying result
of the game is that it was a gentle
manly game, in which all the qualities
of manhood were tested to the break
ing point and no man was found
wanting. The officials, Messrs, Cam
eron, referee; Johnson, umpire;
Davis, field judge, and Washington,
head linesman, did an altogether sa-
tisfactory days work.
