ST. Johns smeared il all over the
Maryland Agricultural College in the
annual football game here today, pill
ing up total of 2S points to their OPP
Cnents O.
The result of the game places st.
Johns well in line to land the title of
intercollegiate champions of the
State this year. in view Of the fact
that the Aggies have already defeat
ed Johns Hopkins, while St. Johns
won from Franklin and Marshall and
that team also defeated Hopkins. st.
Johns still has to play Washington
College. in addition to Hopkins.
1t was a splendid exhibition of mod
ern football, in which the local Collie
gians had decided advantage over
the Aggies in every department.
The latter, however, showed flashes
of good work, though at no stage of
the struggle did they menace the
cadets goal line. Notwithstandi ng
the fact that the College Park lads
had the advantage in weight st.
Johns ploughed through the line for
substantial gains almost at will,
though their greatest gains were
made on wide end runs, in which the
forward pass figured couspicuously.
Incidentally ST. Johns has achieved
splendid success with the forward
pass ever since the season opened.
Raymnd Clark, an Annapolis boy, was
the bright particular star of the
game. He played at quarterback for
st. Johns and not only drove his
team in fine style, but scored all four
of the touchdowns and made several
brilliant runs around ends and
through broken fields of players.
One of these was a criss-cross run
from the middle of the field that re-
suited in St. Johns first touchdown
in the opening period of the game.
The local lads held the advantage
in general playing throughout the
game. This is better evidenced by
the fact that they scored an equal
number of points in each of the
halves, netting two touchdowns and
the resultant goals in each.
The Farmers made a determined
effort to score in the closing minutes
of play when, following the kickoff
after St. Johns registered its last
touchdown, they carried the leather
by straight rushes and an occasional
end run for a total of 45 yards, only
to lose on a tumble on st. Johns
25-yard mark. Captain Mellon, Will
son, Welch and Claude, did some fine
individual work for st. Johns.
Morris, at half, played a brilliant
game for the Farmers, while Hoffec-
ker and Ruff also made several sub
stantial gains for the Aggies. st.
Johns had far greater variety of
plays than their opponents. The
Farmers fell back almost entirely
on a line shift play, similar to
the one used by st. Johns, and
with Morris, their dashiug halfback
carrying the ball on nearly every
occasion, tore off their greatest
gains. The lineup and summary;
