GALLAUDET-LOYALA
GAME is POINTLESS

Gallaudet and Loyola met on
Kendall Green yesterday afternoon
in what proved A burlesque on the
game of foot ball.
The rain and snow had changed the
Kendall Green field to sea of mud.
and the players spent most of the
time coasting around over the ground.
The game ended a scoreless tie.
Both teams resorted to straight
foot ball. as the only possible means
OF gaining, but tackling was easy,
as the men were unable to get start
ed in the mud.
At the start of the game killian
kicked off to Loyola. Fanton punted
to Galludet's 20-yard line. and after
Rose had plunged through for a 10
yard gain, the Kendall Greeners We're
held for down on their own 40-yard
mark.
The ball changed hands several
times in midfield during the first
quarter, but neither side was able to
make any telling ga ins.
At the start of the second period
Loyola managed to plunge through
as far as Gallaudet's 10-yard line,
where they were held to downs. Rose
and Clark then made series of short
gains. and Byouk punted to the So
yard line, where the visitors were
held for downs. Loyola again held
the Kendall Greeners for downs, and
the first half ended with the visitors
in possession of the ball on their own
20-yard line.
The second half was almost repe-
titon of the first.
Many fumbles were made during
the game.

1t took four downs for Goettge to
score.
Goettge caught the kickoff, open
ing the second half, on his 2-yard
line and ran it back IL yards. From
their 14-yard line the Marines
smashed straight down the field for
a touchdown, with Goettge and
Groves starring in the advance.
Goettge went over on a 10-yard
sprint around left end.
Shortly after, Goettge> threw a long
forward pass to McQuade, who ran
to the Detroit 10-yard line. Goettge
hit center for yards. and McQuade
rounded right end for the other
three.
As the game waned Detroit tired
rapidly. Henry replaced Goettge in
the Marines backfield. He smashed

continued to twist away for long
gains. Groves ran IS yards through

Mount St. Mary's repeatedly threat
ened to score before Sheehy made his
sensational dash. 1t kept Catholic Uni
versity generally on the defensive in the
first quarter, and in the second made
two determined bids for points. In the
third period Mount St. Marys got TO
the Brooklanders' 5-yard line, only to
ground a pass for a touchback.
One Of the prime factors of Mount
St. Mary's success was Gollibert, who
did the punting for the visitors. His
kicks, despite the unsteady footing, were
excellent and he continually outpunted
the Catholic University hooters. 1t was
his trusty toe that confined most of the
action of the game TO Brookland ter
ritory
Mount St Marys went right after
points in the second period. One of Col
libert's long kicks made Bailey try a
punt from behind the Catholic L. goal,
and the effort was partially blocked.
Mount st. Mary's recovered the ball on
the 15-yard line, from where Gollibert
failed to score with a drop-kick. Later
in the period Cimpi recovered a Cath
Ole L. tumble on the 30-yard line and
Mount st. Mary's got the ball to within
s yards of goal, then grounded pass
for touchback
In the third period Bailey kicked out
side at his 35-yard line, and a Mount
St. Mary's attack moved play to- the
5-yard line. Again pass dropped to
touchback. Play thereafter was nip
and tuck until Catholic U. launched
its drive with about three minutes of
the, game remaining. IT got to the
enemy's 20-yard mark when Sheehy
grabbed the ball for his winning sprint.

Interesting. too. is the circum-

first collegiate contest | ever attend

when | was boy in my early teens.
In later years. first as player on
university team and then as coach,
practically every important strate-
gical development in the game has
come to my attention. But none has
arisen to erase the conviction created
by that first adventure in the techni-
cal realm of a sport which, more than
any other, offers opportunity for tao
teal invention.
First Youthful Impression.
Nor can this be attributed to my
youthful mind being more impress
sionable than my mature one. The
reaction produced in me was felt by
every recognized authority on the
game throughout the country. The
strategy was the all-absorbing topic
Of conversation for many succeeding
days wherever men happened to be
discussing foot ball. and it continued to
be a leading gridiron theme for several
years afterward.
II was, in fact. the introduction to
new epoch. Paving the way for
other related strategies. it was the
genesis OF practically all standard
formations during the ten years that
followed. One unique result was that
its originator. despite the fact that
he never had played the game. be-
came head coach at Harvard. How
ever, it was only natural that the
man who had devised so important
a departure as flying Interference
for that was what his strategy pro-
duced-should receive recognition.
This man was Lorin F. Deland, an
inventor, of Cambridge, Mass. A con-
Stant student at games in which Har
ward took part, he developed an in
tense interest in foot ball 1t became
known as a dyed-in-t -the-wool foot
ball theoriSt.
"FIying interference"
Many strategies were devised by
linn and turned over to Harvard for
use against its gridiron enemies.
There is no record of their adoption
until. in 1892. he evolved flying in
reference" This met with favor
with the authorities in charge of the
Crimson eleven, particularly g it was
recognized that some strategy was
required to counter the extraordinary
power possessed that year by its long
time rival, Yale.
