The teams were so evenly matched
that the only points scored were made
as result of holes in Hampton's de-
Tense. Both colleges were well rep
resented and helped much to make
the game one OF the finest of the sea-
son. The game was started with a
mad rush when Howard kicked to
Hampton's 45-yard line. Hampton
was unable to make first down,
kicked and lost the ball on Howard's
15-yard line. Doneghy and Peyton
managed to make first downs. They
began to lose ground when Jimmie"

yards. Jacobs intercepted pass and
ran 35 yards before downed. Har-
wick hit the line for 3 yards. Hamp-
ton fumbled on the next play and
Howard recovered the ball on Hamp-
tons 45-yard line. Then followed
kicking duel between Doneghy of
Howard and Gum of Hampton. Gum
showed his skill in kicking in this
duel. His kicks being longer he kept
the ball in Howard's territory all dur
ing this period. Near the end of the
period Gum of Hampton attempted
several forward passes but failed to
land them successfully.
The second half opened with the
star kickers trying hard to outdis-
tance each other. Long, Howard's
right end, who was once a member of

right end for touchdown. Scoring
the extra point via the drop-kick
method.

bewildering the virginians. Then in
the final period, Contee and Peyton
brought the ball to within a yard of
the goal line and Blackmon squirmed
across the line for Howard's second
touchdown. The drop-kick for extra
point went wild.
After Doneghy had kicked off again

means of gaining ground, the for

passes proved futile. Then, with the
same play, which brought the preced-

then to the right, bringing the ball
to the Virginian's 5-yard line. On
the fourth down, Doneghy went
across the line through center. The
extra point was lost.
The final whistle blew soon after
Doneghy had kicked off, the ball be-
ing left in Howard's possession by
Doneghy's intercepting a forward
pass tried by the Hamptonians.

and exciting. Hampton made good
fight but could not Withstand the
more powerful Washington aggrega-
ton. The power Of Howard's line
was seen in the way in which 1t twice
in succession blocked Gums punts
Williams, Jacobs, Pindle and Butler
played well for their team, stopping
several of the visitors onrushes
Gums punting was feature. Done
ghy, Smith, Priestley, Dokes and Pey-

for Howard.
