'AGG|ES TRIM TECH
Win First Game of Season by
81 to 6.
PLAY GENERALLY RAGGED
Both Teams Do Very Crude Work
Because Of Lack Of
Practice.

The Maryland Agricultural College had
little trouble defeating the Technical
High School eleven yesterday in the open
ing game Of the foot ball season by a
score of 81 to 6. The college team out
classed the schoolboys from the start.
and during the first half made runaway
Of the play.
At the beginning of the contest the
Farmers kicked off to the high school
team. Tech failed to gain the necessary
distance, and the ball went over. The
oval was in the middle OF the field, and
the Aggies carried it over the line with
out faltering. There were no long gains
made, but short advances Of from three
to ten yards constituted the style of
play.
Not forward pass was tried by either
team. Either the play was not thought
much of, or else sufficient time had not
been had to develop it. Any way there
was no attempt made to gain ground with
it as medium.
Tech, while the men who made up its
team were more or less green and really
know little foot ball. put up rather stiff
game. The work of the team as q whole
was rather creditable, considering the
fact that several of them had hardly ever
seen two elevens play. The material
shown was such that within another
years time a very capable eleven should
be developed.
Very little real practice had been had
by either of the two teams and the work
of both was, therefore, crude. The
tackltng and blocking Of men were two
departments Of play in which the men
on each team showed very poor form.
And in all there appeared to be the lack
of concerted effort necessary to sue
cessful eleven.
Several shifts were made in the Tech
nical eleven, while the Farmers used
Several of the substitutes sent in in the
last half by the Aggies gave promise of
much future development. The backfield
OF the second-string men failed to make
many gains. more than anything else be-
cause it did not have a line in front of it
capable of opening up holes.
Techs only touchdown came as a result
of blocked kick by White. Just after
the beginning of play in the fourth quar-
ter the Farmers were compelled to kick
from behind their 1O-yard line. The ball
was blocked by White. It bounded be-
hind the goal, and White fell on it for
a score.
The work of Johnson. Hoffecker and
Morris in the backfield was feature. All
three men made consistent gains through
the line and around the ends.
