At 2:20 o'clock the two elevens came upon the field in double-quick time, amid the cheers of the multitude, and went through a few signals; then they quickly lined-up for the contest. The Seniors won the toss. The Faculty was to kick off; but they had an advant- age in being in possession of the upper part of the field. Every player was in position. The referee blew his whistle. The crowd waited in breathless expectancy. Revelle made a run of ten yards and gave the leather a tremen- dous kick, and the was on. The ball flew as though shot from a cannon, but was caught Cobey within two yards of the goal-posts. Our boys formed a magnificent interference, and before it could be broken our sturdy lull back had brought the ball back to within five yards of the centre of the field. "Line-up quickly, fellows," yelled Dashiell-"18, 23, 46,10." As the last number died the ball under the arm of 011ractive captain went around the left end the Faculty with almost lightning speed.

Our line was light, but it played low, and held beautifully while "Bunny" sent the ball up the field. "Roger" caught the pig-skin on the Faculty's ten-yard line, and returned the kick. " Dash," who was playing back, made a beautiful running catch, and sent the leather back once more. Two men seemed to be having a game all to themselves. Again Revelle got the ball, and this time he charged down the field like a frightened ostrich-every stride seemed five yards.

The Faculty at once made their superior weight te1\ upon the line. By a series of plunges they advanced the ball fifteen yards. But there they stopped.
