~HE first game at Washington
park Thursday, which was be-
II tween the second teams Of the Y
NJ c. A. and high school, was very IN
satisfactory, the result being score
less tie. The second game. however,
was thoroughly decisive, HIS first
team winning by score OF ~ Il.
from the School Of Mines There can
be no question Of the best team win
ming. The Hi boys did not even leave
the ball in the Miners territory
throughout the game, and had the flrst
string men not been replaced by SUBS
after the game had been cinched the
score would probably have been even
greater than il was. Two weeks ago
'IIi' did not appear to be strong
contender for the championship OF a
checker league. But IN that snort
space Of time coach Reukauf has de
velOped a machine that will certainly
have to be reckOned with by any
team which they meet. The one play
er who stood out most prominently IN
scored two of aHrs" three touch
downs. Scott, who is only a first
year man, played remarkable game.
On the defence he broke up end runs,
Hne plays, tricks and forward passes
until it became mOnOtonOus, and on
the offence he not only made splendld
mi erferences, Lut he was Invariably
good for a gain on the few occasions
when he carried the ball. Moreover
he was on top Of every one Of the ire
shea Plays Splendid Game.
Capt Shea wound up his football
career with a splendid game, by far
the best he has ever shown. Stuney
not only showed that he had overcome
his former Wea kness in handling KICKS
ard forward passes, but he got every
one of the men who succeeded in
brt aking through the line, and IN ad-
dition not only carried the ball well
but he had his team on the jump
throughout the game. Russell WORTH
f1Eton showed that his last game was
no mere flash, for he came back
strong. His defensive work was es-
pecially good, and on one occasion on
a line plunge, he tore through Ine
Miners and, knocking tacklers right
and left, ran 40 yards for touch
down. Schwartz, who has been con

thoroughly understood their business

OF Schumacher, Tatum, MCPHERSON,
Bryant Coldwel and McKemy nothing
need be said excepting that they
played their usual consistent game 10
add to that would certainly be super
fluous. Chris Fox, in addition TO
showing by far the best line plunging
seen here this year, also put up the
best interference seen for many a day
and pulled off the prettiest play OF
punted. Leasure came tearing down
the field to make the tackle, Shea hay
ing received the ball Fox was on the
far side of the field and could not get
across quite soon eonugh to get in
front of Leasure. Chris, however,
overcame the difficulty with Is foot
drive that connected and sent the
tackler sprawling.
Stars for Miners.
The Miners showed just one back.
Orb Walker did not play quite the
game that his brother Scott did, but
he was a close second orb was not
only a large portion Of the Miners
defence, but he was almost their sole
offence And that the team itself rec
OcniZed this is attested by the fact
that late in the third quarter, Orb
carried the ball for seven successive
downs During the time he was in the
game Billy Race played his usual
strong game. Billy ran his team wei
az all times. His use Of the forward
pass on one or two occasions was
criticised by a few, but this criticism
was not due Billy recognized the fact
that the sole chance for his team lay
fl the frequent use of the pass and he
resorted to it. Had all his team
mates PLAYED up to the standard of
piav which Red" POmerOy set at
tackle, the result would have been de-
cidedly different
