26 T HE A L A R M 19 2 3 [A manuscript of the Sporting Section of an ancient newspaper, published in Sparta.] Sparta Spanks Athens 20 3 Test of Rivalry Between Strong Teams Shows Sparta Superior. Sparta. Oct. 14 (Special).—On Saturday, October 12, the Spartan and Athenian teams walked onto the field, at the stadium in Corinth, to play the most notable football game in the history of the sport. First Quarter: Athens won the toss and chose to receive. The Spartan full, Lycurgus, booted the hall over the Athenian goal, and play was resumed on the 20 yd. line. Athens started with a heavy line attack, with Pericles plunging the line of the stalwart Spartans and making good gains. Then with a series of end runs they landed the ball in mid-field, where they were held for downs. Sparta received the ball and carried it back again, by the heady work of Agesilous, the Spartan quarter, to Athens’ 10 vd. line. There the attack was seemingly stopped, and Lysander could make but scant gains around the right flank of the Athenians. In the next play, by a pass from Lycurgus, Nobis, left end, scored Sparta’s first touchdown. Lysander failed to kick goal. Second Quarter: In the second period, the Athenians again got the ball and brought it within threatening distance of the Spartan goal. They were finally held on the 15 yd. line, where, Solon, quarterback, dropkicked successfully, scoring for Athens her only points throughout the game. Sparta then chose to receive and, by a criss-cross from the kickoff, Lysander made a brilliant 90 yd. run to the Athenian goal. Lysander kicked goal successfully, and the half ended 13—3 in favor of Sparta. Third Quarter: In the beginning of this half the Athenians came back strong and worked hard against the Spartans, resorting to fake runs and passes. Although • they made fairly good gains, they did not get within threatening distance of the Spartan goal. Sparta held and got the ball on her 10 yd. line. Here Lycurgus punted to' Athens’ 20 yd. line, where Athens was held for downs. Sparta again got the ball and, by a criss-cross from Lycurgus to Lysander, Sparta scored again. Lysander made his point from goal kick, and the period ended with the score 20—3 for Sparta. Fourth Quarter: Athens received the kickoff and worked the ball to mid-field, where the line see-sawed back and forth and both teams did some classy playing. Lysander displayed some versatile end running for Sparta, while both Hippias and Hyparchus starred in the Athenian backfield. In this last period neither team scored, and the game ended 20—3 in favor of Sparta. The line-up: ATHENS SPARTA Aristotle . . R. E.. Xenephon.. . . . . ,R. T. . . . . .
