UNION 10; SEMINARY D

Lynchburg, Va. Oct. 81. - Viz
GINA Theological Seminary and Col
lege was easily defeated by Va.
Union by score of 13-0. Jackson
kicked off to Watson who was down
ed on his twenty yard line. Then the
home team made three successive
pIunges against the impregnable
Union line which stood as stone
wall throughout the game. Quarter
back Jackson Of Union, found il I'M
necessary to use anything but straight
formation and forward passes Union
succeeded in completing six passes
out Of nine, three of which were
caught by Brown, two by Smith and
one by Corrothers, whose form was
equal to that shown in the st. Paul
game, when he caught a thirty-five
yard pass and ran for a touchdown.
The feature Of the game was the
line plunging of Fentriss and Cap
tain Jackson, who gained regularly
ten and fifteen yards. Gregory dis
played his usual spectacular broken
field running by sprinting fifty-fiYe
yards from a kick-formatIon through
the entire Seminary team for a
touchdown. Unions Bhifty back
field under the Rcncralship Of A.
Jackson, swept Seminary's end at Will
for twenty and thirty yards. This
stellar performer is destined to bring
success to Union in the coming games
with Lincoln ard Hampton.
The game was one of unusual
squabbling from start TO finish.
Seminary men refused to abide by
the referees decision on several oe-
casions and at one time threatened
to walk off. the fild when the score
was IS to IN Unions favor. Capt.
Jackson wishing to see the game fin
ished asked the referee to change tine
decision, which he did However, he
promised to report the fact to the
association that the Seminary refused
to abide by his decision.
IL is scheduled to play Morgan
-.ege on Oct. 18th and Lincoln on

LINCOLN So; MORGAN D.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 2. - Bal
timore got its first taste of college
football Saturday and it was good.
Nearly one thousand persons
flocked to Morgan College campus,
Saturday to see the big heavy Lin
coin football team overwhelm Nor
gan College boys on the score of 63
to 0. They saw Coach Campers
lightweights go up against the big
heavy and we1l-trained team from
Lineoi61 ahd put UP a game credit
able in every respect.
Morgan kicked off to Lincoln,
thirty yard line, and recovered the
ball when Lincoln fumbled it. On
the next play they made the first
down, the only one Morgan made
during the game. Lincoln recovered
from her surprise and was never
again in danger Fumbles on both
sides were frequent, Lincoln being
guilty Of seven misplays and Morgan
five. On two separate occasions
light Morgan men were hit with such
force by Lincoln taeklers, that the
ball bounced out of their arms into
the hands of waiting Lincoln men
who carried it over for a touchdown.
w. Johnson, who found the ball in
his hands, as the results of one of
these lucky fumbles, raced fifty
yards for a touchdown.
Lincoln was the aggressor through
out and made twenty-one first downs
to Morgan's one. Lincoln tried seven
forward passes and completed three
of them. Morgan was unable to COM
plcte either of its two attmepts at
forward passes. Lincoln was penal
lied twice for off-side playing and
Morgan three times. On one occasion,
Morgan lost one-half distance to the
goal and James, their big heavy
guard, was put out of the game for
unnecessary roughness.
The game was held up fifteen
minutes when Manager Williams, of
Lincoln. protested Joe Trigg as UNI
pire. on the ground that he is assist
ant coach at Howard University.
Captain Neal Thompson was out
of the game with a broken collar
bone. Capt. Laws, of Lincoln didn't
find it necessary to get into the game.

European Middleweight
Championship

three, grasped a ring rope, and will
back turned toward his colored OPP
ponent, made his way back to the
corner and started talking with Carp
enter.
Upon the acknowledgement of de-
feat the referee completed the count.
The crowd became so incensed at
Balzac's quitting that a squad of
gendarmes had to escort him from
the ring to the dressing room, and
later to his hotel.
Ski first donned the gloves while
in the French army during the war.
French papers state he hits hard
with both hands and is wonderfully
fast and tricky.
Despite Balzac's quitting there was
no doubt of Skis ring ability, -
French papers state the Senegalese
scrapper outclassed Balzac after the
first ten seconds fighting. Constant
clinching saved Balzac in the first
round. sikh closed his left eye and
had him on the verge of knockout
when the gong rang. Balzac at
tempted to clinch and stall his way
through the second, but Sikh got in
a right hand uppercut which sent him
to the canvas. Then Balzac raised the
wi tie flag.
Balzac is a descendant of the ia
nous French author of the same
name Up to his recent defeat he
was, next to Carpenter and LedouX
the most popular boxer in France.
