astonished and got across the
goal line the touchdown that gave

fourth.
There has been perhaps no
harder fought contest played Oh

never was time when the mem
bers OF both elevens were not in
the play. fighting tooth and nail
for the mastery. There was bril-
liant work at times by all the
players, but there were moments
when the contest degenerated
into a mighty poor exhibition for
two college organizations. Splen-
did feats were accomplished at
different periods, and at others
there were open and almost con-
tinuous violations of the rules.
Tripping and intentional rough
ness of various kinds were appar-
ent from the side lines in many
instances.
A. and M. Rushes Ball.
In the first half A. and NJ. should
have scored at least two touchdowns
instead of the one it got, judged on the
way in which it carried the ball to the
goal line of the Blue and Gray. What
might have happened in the contest
depends much the point of view,
though, from one way Georgetown
ought to have been an easy victor and
in another the visitors had a big mar
gin. The one touchdown obtained by
A. and NJ. might be termed more or
