SHEPHERD COLLEGE 6. r.. NJ. A. o.

Shepherd is going TO beat X. N. a,
and this is no bull That was the an.
nounGement of the loyal supporters OF
Old Shepherd before the game, and
whue We feared the negation would
nct stand early in the second quarter.
II Mas apparent when the final whistle
olew that they knew what they were
taking about Since Coach Leege is
q specialist in agriculture as we'll as
feotoali, we might have known tha,
tue student body was up on livestock.
While the game was not the best
exhibition of punting we have seen nor
me best in line tackling, there has
PROBABLY never anywhere been a con-
test so full OF spirit and determination
on the part of y men. There seem
90 10 be no weak spots in the line.
hoWeNer, the opposing quarterbacks,
and all the backs were hard to stop.
Walker and Bean we're outstanding
players In fact, Shepherd College won
Because the local boys learned after
quarter how TO stop Bean.
K. M, A. received the kickoff, bu,
lost the ball 10 5. G. on the first play,
when a lateral pass was fumbled. On
the first play Walker passed TO C..
Lowe for 25 yards. Knode was thrown
back six, then Grove made eight.
OSullivan recovered for r. NJ. A.
when Musser fumbled bad pass from
Walker. Bean made six and Ander-
son two, then Power recovered Beams
tumble. S. c. failed to gain. Grove
kicked, and the ball went back and
forth until X. NJ. A. staged a wonder
ful procession toward their goal. Bean,
Sager, Anderson and Morgan made
STEADY gains OF from two TO ten yards,
then Bean carried the ball 27 yards TO
the eight yard line. An offside play
and a tumble on a lateral pass gave
the ball TO s. G. on the 80 yard line,
Crowl recovering. Walker made ten
and fumbled. Salzedo grabbed the
ball and ran until he was stopped 25
yards short of the goal. Bean and
Andersen made ten. Power gave way
to Johnson. Sager made first down
of right tackle, Harris stopped Bean
and then Morgan made three, putting
the ball on the two yard line as the
first quarter ended. Here S. G.. made
a valiant stand and took the ball on
downs. After that r. M. A. had enough
to handle. Lee became too anxious
and held several times until penalized.
A little later he tackled Grove vic
iously and knocked himself out. Lynch
took his place al guard. Then Walker
ran 20 yards, Knode was thrown for
a heavy loss and S. G.. was forced to
kick. The pass was bad, SO Walker
ran the ball forward Is yards. The
half ended nothing to nothing, with
the ball in the middle of the field.
Goulden went in for O'Sullivan at
end for r. M. A. Morgan kicked off
| to Knode, who ran the ball back 30
yards. Crowl dropped back for a 35
yard pass to Cletus Lowe, but Bean
outreached him. AS Bean caught the
ball, Lowe pushed him over, thus pen
alizing S. G. Is yards. r. Lowe
brought down Anderson after a seven
yard gain. Sager made first down.
little later G. Lowe tackled Morgan
hard. The latter slugged and was
sent to the sidelines, giving r. M. A.
penalty Of half the distance to the
goal The ball was kept near the mid
die of the field for the remainder of
the quarter.
Rider went in for c. Lowe and the
latter took Musser's place at half.
Fake plays had caused S. c. to lose
ground up to this time, but now they
began to work, Knode and Grove thus
making several gains from one to six
yards. Then Walker made brilliant
20 yard run, which was followed by
good line bucking by Grove, Knode
and Walker until the latter slipped
over for a touchdown. Knode failed
at goal. After that il was S. C.'s
game, as the ball was played in the
enemy's territory for the remaining
few minutes. Final score, to O in
favor OF S. G.
At the thuse Saturday night Mr.
Tabler, the speaker Of the evening,
expressed il little differently as he
sized lip the situation of r. M. A., but
il may be said that r. M. A. came
telling like class of postgraduates in
the science Of football, but went back
looking like a bunch of sophomores.
