The first foot-ball game for the class championship was played between the Juniors and Freshmen, and resulted in a victory, by a score of 6 to o, for the Juniors. First choice fell to the Freshmen, who chose the ball. Play began by ’92 rushing a V., and gaining about 10 yds. The teams were very evenly matched, and the most desperate playing and hardest fought game ever witnessed here, began to be of interest, when the opposing teams had measured and fully comprehended the strength of their antagonists. During the larger part of the first half the ball was kept in the middle field; towards its close, a fumble by Atherton gave the ball to Leyden, who, having a clear field, made a touch down from which McLean kicked a goal. The first half ended one half minute after the goal was kicked, In the second half considerable slugging went on, but as rough playing seemed to be in order, neither side heeded it much. The ball was generally played in the middle throughout this half, and neither side scored. The Freshmen had the stronger rush line, but the Juniors had the stronger back field, Linsz, the half-back for ’92, played well. Reber made several fine runs, Hildebrand and Roth-rock rushed well, Mock and All made several nice short runs. *90 Rushers, Jackson, G. Dem-niing, Yergcr, McLean, Hunter, Brew, Demining B; quarter back, Leyden; half backs
