The Lawrenceville Game N the closest game of the season of 1903 Lawrenceville defeated the Hill by a score of 6 to 5. At the end of the first half neither side had scored. Early in the second half Hill made a touchdown, but failed to kick a difiicult goal. Soon after Lawrenceville scored a touchdown and kicked the goal, thus winning the game. Athough no score was made in the first half, Hill had several good chances for a touch- down, but unfortunately was unable to cross the line. Lawrenceville attempted a drop-kick for goal but missed. The most sensational play of the game was made in this half by Fryer, who made a forty yard run around the right end. After the usual intermission Hill kicked off to Lawrenceville, and the second half began. Hill soon got the ball on a punt, and after a few plays punted back to Lawrenceville. A fake kick by Lawrenceville was unsuccessful and Hill got the ball on her opponents ten yard line. After a desperate struggle Hill made a touchdown but missed the goal, Lawrenceville kicked off, and after a few plays Hill punted. Lawrenceville returned the punt and Hill was penalized twenty yards for holding. Hill punted, but Pearson soon brought the ball near the goal' again by a twenty yard run. It looked as if Lawrenceville would make a touchdown then, but they were held for downs on Hill's eight yard line. Hill immediately punted. but Lawrenceville gradually worked the ball back to the fifteen yard line. Again they were held for downs, and agai11 Hill punted out of danger. The third time Lawrenceville could not be stopped and Pearson went over the line for a touchdown. It was the first time Hillis goal line had been crossed during the season. Ritter kicked the goal and the game was won. The teams were pretty evenly matched, though Lawrenceville had the advantage in weight. Both teams deserve the greatest praise. The work of Ritter, Pearson, and Holden for Lawrence- ville, and of Fryer, Congdon, Foster and Linn for The Hill deserve especial mention. The game was a very exciting one from start to finish, and will always be 'remembered as one of the closest and hardest fought battles which has ever been contested by Lawrenceville and The Hill.
