twice pushed over the Farmer's line for a touchdown. During the forty-five minutes of play, St. J ohn's was penalized sixty yards for holding, but even then M. A. C. was unable to score. The game ended with the score 18-0, in favor of St. John's. Cn the next Saturday our team went to Wilmington to play Delaware College. The day was clear and cold, and our men went into the game with a snap that carried the Delawarians off their feet. But for the unfortunate decisions of the umpire, the score would have been much larger. Captain Halbert was the star of the game. Final score St. 'John's, 6 3 Delaware College, 0. . The tide of victory had not yet turned. On the following Saturday we won a decisive victory over Gallaudet College at Washington. This was one of thecleanest and most exciting games of the season. The playing was fast and uninterrupted by any disputes. Although the score, 22-0, would indicate that the game was one-sided, never- theless, we found our opponents well worthy of our skill, and were compelled to work hard for every foot of 'ground that we gained. Nowhere, during the entire season, were.we more hospitably treated than at Gallaudet. ' On November 7, our team went to Charlottesville to play the strong University of Virginia team. The game. had not progressed very far before we realized that we were outclassed, and the result was that St. J ohn's experiencedthe worst defeat in her football history. Our only consolation was the plucky fight our team made against odds, and the fact that we scored against Virginia on her home grounds. This score was made in the first half when.Captain Halbert swooped up the ball which had been fumbled by one of Virginia's backs, and carriedit across the line for a touchdown. In the latter part of the game, by a series of enduruns, we carried the ball to our opponent's twenty-five yard line, where Duvall tried a drop kick, but without success. .

A h Unfortunately, our games with Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee, for the next week, had to be cancelled owing to the prevalence of typhoid fever at those institutions, but a game with Washington College wassubstituted. Our team was some- what ,crippledi from the game of the previous Saturday, but we succeeded in running up the large score of 40-0 on the visitors. Our opponents, however, played a clean, plucky game and were especially strong on offensive work. Next came the contest of the season, the game with Western Maryland, which was to decide the Inter-Collegiate Championship of Maryland. - After a week of hard practice on Friday, November 20, our team left for Westminster, in order- that they might have a good night's rest before the game. The following day dawned bright and clear, and everything seemed favorable to-an exciting contest. At 2 o'clock, amid cheers from their followers, the Western Maryland team arrived on the field, and a few moments later a shout went up from the Orange and Black as our own gallant eleven came into view. After a short practice, the teams lined up and the fray began. Green opened the game by kicking off to Western Maryland's thirty-yard line. Here St. John's regained the 132 ,X
