BATTLE TO A TIE
GaIIaudet and Washington Fail
to Score in Hard Contest.
PLAYED ON SLIPPERY FIELD
Defense of Both Teams Very Good,
But Muddy Going Stopped
Trick Plays.

The two ancient rivals, Gallaudet and
Washington Colleges, battled desperately
on the Kendall Green field to a o to 0
tie yesterday afternoon. in a game where
the slippery condition of the glidiron
necessitated the use Of straight foot bail
with occasional forward passing by both
teams.
Gallaudet won the toss. and chose to
kickoff The Marylanders were held for
downs. and Capt. Porter punted to Moore,
who ran back % yards. The Kendall
Greeners then made one first down, but
finally lost the oval on downs, Porter
again punting out of danger for the
visitors. For the balance Of the 1rst
quarter Gallaudet kept the pigskin in the
Chestertowners' territory with spasmouIc
success. Near the end Of the second
quarter, apt. Porters great end cir
clingS brought the ball to Gallauaets
lo-yard line, only to see the Kendall
nrreenerS make another Of their famous
defenseS, and throw lie runners back for
losses. Porter then tried for goal from
drop-kick on the :i0-yard mark without
success. Time for the end Of the first
nail was then called
The second half opened with Capt
Porter kicking off to Gallaudet The
home team faileG to make downs, so
| Roller was forced to punt Both teams
| played desperately in this half, but with
very little usccess on offense, the
| rival fullbacks were repeatedly called
upon TO punt with hopes for some FUN
! bles. The Washington College team
made one costly tumble of Rollers spiral
on its 3DNyard line, but put up a inagni-
| ficent defense. and saw a forWarI pass
| from Moore to ButterDaull so uncomplet-
ed on the third down.
At the opening of the fourth period the
visitors pulled off evcral brilliant forward
| passes, which Melted them gains from
| their own 2J-yard line to Lallaudet's v,,-
yard Inc. only to lose the oval on downs.
:. The defense by both teams was great,
while the slippery field spoiled good Of

both Sues. Gallaudet outplayed Wash

| came back in the second half Both
teams resorted to punting great dea!,
the rival fullf1cks sending the spiral to
an even distance, but the Galiaudet backs
nullified Capt. Porter's even honor with

The features of the game were Roller

HERE'S A SURPRISE!
Maryland Aggies Get Together
and Thrash w. M.
Farmers Show a Great Reversal of
Form and Play Their Opponents
Off Their Feet.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLLEGE PARK. November 18.-In
the most stubbornly fought and inter
esting game of the season, the Mary
land Agricultural College foot ball team
was victorious over Western Maryland
by the score of to 0. The victory
came as a distinct surprise even to the
Agg1es' most ardent rooters, as the
visitors have had a very successful
season against the best secondary col
leges in the east. 1t was the Aggies'
last game in the intercollegiate series
In Maryland. and they more than made
up for their poor showing In their other
games. They played with that fighting
spirit which has characterized the Farm
there was such a lack of in their games
the first part of the season.
To Shipley, the plucky little captain
of the Aggies. should go most Of the
credit for the victory, as aside from
being the chief ground gamer for his
team he scored the only touchdown of
the game, from which he kicked goal.
Hoffecker and Kemp also played bril-
liant foot ball. the former getting off
a number of we'll executed forward
passes which completely fooled the
visitors and were good for substantial
gains Kemp carried the ball for a
good gain nearly every time he was
called on, especially when used on the ay
from a shift formation. This play, to-
gether with the forward pass, was used
a great deal by the Aggies during the
entire game.
The only score Of the game was made
by the Aggies in less than ten minutes
after the game had started. BY line
plunges and a series Of forward pa sses
the Aggies worked the ball to Western
Maryland's 10-yard line, from which
point Shipley, on a beautiful quarter
back run around the visitors left wing,
went over for a touchdown, from which
he kicked goal After that the game
was d see-saw affair, with both teams
fighting for every inch of ground the
Aggies having a slight advantage
throughout.
Only twice was the Farmers goal line
in danger. and both times their line
held like a stone wall, and the fast
Western Maryland backs were unable to
make the required distance. All through
the game the strength of the Farmers
line was apparent which was a surprise,
as they have been especially weak in
this department the entire season.
Western Maryland made number of
attempts to work the forward pass,
nearly all of which were unsuccessful.

of their opponents attempts The game
ended with the ball in the Aggies' pos

but one man between them and the goal
line and Would4 apparently run straight
into the arms of the waiting man. 1t sInay
have been that Todd's tackling was SO
sure that the Blue and Gray runners
could not ESCAPE him, but Il would seem
that there ought to be other good taCklers
on the Virginia team and there were
many times when the Georgetown men
had no trouble evading those.
One thing which was noticed about the
Virginia eleven's secondary defense was
that 1t failed to close UP as fast as it
might The Georgetown man. If he got
clear of the line, was good for at least
seven eight yards. which would not
have beep the case had the opposing
backs closed in on them as fast as they
should have done.
Goodhue while he failed to kick quite
as well as Costello, did some mighty
good work in that department, and st was
not often that on an exchange OF kicks
he lost much ground, and with the great
er distance which Todd returned Cos
tello's runts, it is likely that he really
was the gamer In the punting game.
An innovation in foot ball which would
be very popular with the spectators and
make IT possible for them to distinguish
the members or one team from Tue Dther,
would be to have rule passed COM
polling the home team to wear some sort
of uniform which will make it dis
tinctive from it's rivals. As matters
now are all foot ball players wear about
the Same kind of uniforms. and unless. a
spectator Is absolutely familiar with the
players of both teams il Is impossible TO
distinguish them. This not only places a
hardship on those who view the games,
but detracts from the interest.

Referee Thorp of Columbia had de-
cidedly busy day of ii. Under normal
conditions the duties of the referee are
decidedly strenuous, but on Il soggy field
such as that of yesterday he worked
harder than any one of the players
Thorp did not come any too well pre-
pared for his task. for he wore a white
shirt which lost its natural color after
the first scrimmage, during which 1t was
plastered with mud. When the game was
over Thorp had the appearance of hav-

CONLEY AND RIVERS DRAW.
Fight Twenty Fast Rounds Without
Decision.

LOS ANGELES. Cal. November IS
frankie Conley OF Kenosha. Wis. and
Joe Rivers of Los Angeles fought twenty
fast rounds to draw at Vernon today.
Referee Eytons decision was cheered
and Kissed Internationally for several min
utes, but In the end 1t was accepted by
most Of the spectators.
Conley matched his gameness and
ability to take punishment against the
cleverness and strength OF Rivers. and
from the outset tried to rush the local
boy off his feet With lowered head and
thrashing arms. he met Rivers in the
later's corner at the opening of every
round. Then ensued a series of rallies, in
which the pair traded punch for punch.
Rivers, by diigent use Of a straight
left, opened up an old cut on Conley S
eye in the early rounds. In these rounds
he had a slight lead but after the
twelfth Conleys aggressiveness offset
this.

Also the Battle Of Yells.

BESIDES the battle of brains and physi-
cal prowess that took place on the grid
iron there was the battle Of yells. AL
though their team was behind the Vir-
ginia adherents tried in vain to drown the
exultant huzzas of the supporters Of the
Blue and Gray. 1t was not possible. for
although defiant to the last Virginia
failed to drown the efforts of the George
town men. which were helped along by
the fact that they felt their heroes would
win.
Georgetown sang the paeans of victory,
while Virginia chanted the wells of de-
fiance, and with the fierce eNultant feel
ing which comes with the mastery over
fellow men, the Blue and Gray added one
great wild outburst of sound to the pam
demonium which reigned when the final
whistle had blown and it was assured
that another victory had been Won which
drowned everything else.
And then all was quiet. The victors
were content to rest on the laurels al
ready won, while the vanquShed main
tanned the sullen silence of the spirit
which knows not defeat. and which bides
its time until it gets its opportunity. The
lust for battle was Satiated, the desire for
conquest was stilled. and. jamming and
pushing its way, the great crowd left
the arena where the struggling. Sweaty
bodies of Young manhood had held it's in
