  MINISTER’S VS.. CHRISTIANS They Play an Exciting Game of Football. FIELD CLUB COLTS AT ELKTON How Pennsylvania Scored Six Against Yale. The 200 spectators who went out to Riverview Saturday to SEQ the eleven from the Young Mems Christian Associtation play team from Upland, which included several players from Grocer Theological Seminary, saw one of the most exciting struggles for supremacy that has been witnessed here this year. The grand style in which the Christians played football was not only great surprise to the large audience that watched the game with un1agging interest, but the home team were amazed themselves. The minister’s brought much heavier men than the Christians could possibly produce, yet nevertheless the latter made gallant fight and kept the Upland team down to comparatively small score. The Christian young men scored touchdown from which goal was kicked, while all the Upland people could obtain were 10 points. The Up land team averaged pounds to man more than the home team, and it was the superior physical strength of the visitors rush line that won the game. The work of the Christians behind the line was admirable. The backs ran well and tackled superbly. The rush line, however, was unable to hold the big stalwart team from Delaware county, and several times the forwards were through the line and OH top of the home teams half backs before they were given an opportunity to run with the pig-s5in. The ministers rush line stood like o stone wall when the Christians fire. quently secured the ball for run, and most of their gains were made by skirt ing the ends. Lawson puntcd well and Mahaffy was very effective at quarter. Rice proved himself sprintel At every opportunity, but for some reason he was not given the ball as often as usual. lie is one of the most promising players on the Y. M. G. A. The ministers had the kickoff in the first half, while the home team had the advantage OF the west goal. They bucked the centre for large gains and for time the home team was unable to hold them. The ministers soon struck IL snag when Mahaffy’s men rallied to the situation, and by playing more aggressive game the Christians kept them from scoring until the midst of the first half, when Hulme went over the line for touch down. Goeltz kicked the goal Play was resumed and the home team worked the flying wedge satisfactorily. Before time was called the Christians had crossed the line. In the second half the visitors made another touchdown by sending Brown through their opponents centre. The try at goal failed, The final score was Upland, 10; Y. NJ. G. A., 6. In the second half Williams, of the home team was injured. There We’re loud calls for Pierce, substitute, but as Pierce did not answer, some one way up in the grand stand shouted: “Pierce has his clothes on” This remark was greeted with laughter by the spectators, many OF whom wondered whether Pierce would be rash enough to appear on the field without his usual wearing apparel. Of course the informant meant that Pierce had exchanged his jersey and canvas knickerbockers for his street attire, but the manner in which he volunteered the reply to the call for Pierce is open to criticism. William S. Hilles had been an interested spectator during the forepart of the game and when he saw that the progress OF the struggle would be seriously interfered with unless some one took Will liams’ place behind the line, handed his shining derby to u friend and entered Williams place at half-back recollectons Of the time when he filled that position on HaYerford College team, occupied his attention, and some of the great Delaware Field Club games also lurked in his memory. Hilles entered ilto the spirit of the game with all the determination of his enthusiastic man. hood, and had he sooner been called upon the field, the local team in all probability would have scored another touchdown. He made several beautiful openings for Mahatfy and Rice, but for some reason they failed to follow the opening through the centre and skirted the ends. Here they were invariably brought to grief by the vigorous tackling of the visitors. Time was called within few minutes after Hilles went ON the field, with the ball on the visitors 25.yard line. The officers who were assigned to police duty on the field were Patrol men james L. Scott and Simon Moran. The former was guyed for the ungentlemanly manner in which he pushed and handled the crowd, and the verdict seemed to be that the officer was too ‘‘fresh.” An officer should bear in mind that he is not dealing with Trout street FOUNDERS when detailed to keep the spectators behind the line at a football game. And the fact that the officers city beat is confined to the “coast” ought not to excuse him for unusual roughness on the football field. The Y. M. G. A. boys are elated over their good work on Saturday and rejoice that the visitors -were held down to such a close score. The men lined up as follows; UPLAND. YIN. O. A. burgess. .lett end...
