score. Only once was State's goal threatened,

Sophomore vs. Freshmen.
The annual Sophomore-Freshman game, to de
cide whether or not the latter should carry canes,
was played in a drizzling rain on the afternoon of
Dec. Bth. The field could not have been in
worse shape. Here and there were pools of
water, or mud of the consistency of cream, and tilt se
seemed to be the favorite places in which to throw
the runners. After a few rushes it was impossible
to distinguish one player from another. All were
covered with a coating of clay from the tips of the
topmost hairs of their heads down to the toes of
their shoes. At the end of the first half Miller
looked very much like a stubby hair pin, while
the Freshman center resembled a good sized brick
plant on wheels. Although the day was very un
favorable, neither side allowed their ardor to be
dampened and played with a great deal of vim.
The game was played almost entirely in the
Freshman territory. Dunsmore put up'the game
of the day. He broke through the Freshman
line repeatedly, and seldom failed to gain. Dar
ragh played a pluckygame, and the Freshmen af
ter repeated trials, gave up trying to gain through
THE FREE LANCE.
him. Robison's touchdown speaks for him, and
in fact, the whole team, for all played a good
game. Walker's plunges into the center were
hard to check backed as he was by the entire
eleven. The Freshmen backs are capable of do•
ing good work, but had few chances to distin
guish themselves. Diehl seemed to make the
best gains. Their interference 'was good and the
line played well although it seemed to have holes
sufficiently large for a Sophomore to pass through.
After four attempts by first one team and then
the other to kick-off properly, the ball was finally
put in play by '97 whose kick-off was caught by
Diehl for a run of ten yards. Rice's gain of
yard is followed by no gain. The Freshmen are
here given to yards for an off-side play. Curtin
gains i yard and Diehl follows with a run of 3
yards when he is forced outside. This gain was
made by pretending to kick and instead McChes
ney made a long pass to Diehl. The ball goes to
'97, and Robison after running 5 yards is forced
outside. Robison fails to gain and Dunsmore
makes r yard when the ball goes to '9B. The
Freshmen lose in two successive rushes, and then
are given To yards for an off side play. After a
6 yard gain by Rice, a t yard one by McChesney
and a no gain by Diehl, the ball goes to '97.
Robison makes a gain of two yards and is fol
lowed by Dunsmore for zo yards when the ball is
knocked out of his hands,. and Walker, catching,
runs 5 yards when he is forced outside. Walker's
run was not allowed as the ball bounced forward
to him. Robison makes zo yards, Dunsmore 5,

McChesney makes 3 yards, followed by a no gain.
McChesney fails to kick and '97 gets the ball.
Robison after a run of five yards makes a touch

the goal. Score 4-o.
The Freshman kick-off is caught by Walker for
15 yards. After good gains by Robison, Walker,
Dunsmore and Sellers, '97 loses 5 yards on a
