'VARSITY 6; RUGBY 0.
The College Boys Won Yesterday's
Event Because of Mack's
Fumble.
A HARD CONTESTED GAME,
Marked by Gentlemanly Playing on Both
Sides—The Rugby's Best Men Were Dis-
abled—Pennant Matter Undecided.
ball was then brought to the twenty-flve-
yard line and Homer kicked the bafll in
order to get It again Into play to within
"five yards of the center of the Held, when
Luitich fell on it.
On the ftrst play, after lining up, the
'Varsities fumbled And lost a yard, the ball
then being four yards from the center.
Post then kicked long and low for about
forty-five yards. It was here where Mack
made his misplay. He reached up for the i
ball, juggled with it. and before he knew I and the ball went 'to the 'Varsities on
what had happened O'Brien was seen run- j downs. Rogers passed by the right tackle
ning toward him to m*ab the ball and | for two yards and Sinclair amid excellent
slide for rive yards, getting the ball in a j interference brought the ball near to the
place of safety. That is the way the score center of the field by wending his way
was made. In one play t.he ball was taken j around left end. Mack lost one and gained
from the center of the field behind the four yards through the center. Rogers by
posts. Pest had an easy time to kick the ' dint of good dodging and without interfer-
went through the center for two yards.
Ruhl tried to go around the left end and
was forced back for four yards. Post here
made his first kick, sending the bell sixty
yards and landing it on the Ru^by 25-yard
line. Mack fumbled it and Ruhl fell on it,
giving the 'Varsities a clear gain of six/ty
yards. Luitich lost a yard around right
end and gained one between the left tackle
and end. Gomez in an endeavor to evade
the left end was forced back eight yards
Assisted by Mack'a great grand stand
fumble and Poet's kick, O'Brien yesterday
afternoon made himself dear to 'the hearts
of all wearers of tlhe yellow and blue by
making a touchdown. He was folio wed by
a gooil kiek by Posit, and t'he game, as a
result, was won by the 'V&Tsities. It was
t'he omSly tacore of the afternoon and was,
to use a backward expression, won by
Mack of the Rugbys.
Mack was Clearly out of his place at
full back. Called suddenly and wOthtouit
practice Initio that position, having1 never
before played bahin*d tihe line, it was no
wonder 'that he was ntot afbfte to do bt'Uor,
and his muff must 'be excused on this
score. Pteis't proved a beautiful surprise,
making no lests tihan live or six Song kicks—
in facit, ait several podinits saving tlie gaimo.
O'Brien 1s a slippery man, and managed
•to make his way tb where Mack was and
g'eft the ball and slide wStlh it about live
feet until he had placed it the victori-
ous spot.
And that to the way tlhe game was won.
Throughout tlhe game every point was
well contested. There were no isensatOonal
ruins, no Herculean, tackles, no sUurfltog
tricks—every gain was made by hard,
Ihonidst effort. The tooyts played a c'x-ati
gaim>©» and every gain miade was well de-
served. Dotlh sides seemed to be especially
anxious «to constantly break through the
Mne of the other, and they succeeded en-
tirely. Many a kick was blocked, ankl
tnainy a time tlhe ball muffed on this ac-
count.
At the beglnniintg it was hard «tk> tell who
was the favorite. A week ago had a per-
tsc.i asked a man who he 'thought would
win; he would d'oubtiess have said tlhe
Rugbyu. But in the past few days circum-
stances have so contrived against that
team that tihey were an entirely different
pet from tihat which they were originally.
Again, tlhe 'Varslities suffered so inuclh
from fcuck of practice at -t'he Thanksgiving;
game that their frietndls had no idea 'tlh-at
tin the short time between them and now
tihey would be aible to catch up as they
did. At that 1'i.rae 'tihey were a eat of weak
players, -who were green at 'the gaime.
Yesterday they played An an ex peri eroded
manner. ^hey were in it at every stage
of t'he gaime. \
As aAx>ve noted, there were many change's
made in tihe MneKup of the Rugby3. Fiirst
it was found out What Vlklor, who had becin
hurt at the Onri<snmas game, would be un-
able to play. The men were then cihanig:i
around so tihat Mack was to be quarter,
Goree center and. Homer left tackle. On
Saturday Captain! Sturgta, iwiho was o!L>to
hurt in Che Ohr'isHmai* game, amuiouneed
tihat be was in xilo condition to play, and
then it was deckie'd tlo put Mack full and
MoKee quarter l>arjk. Thil3 arrangiiment
made t'he men wliolliy inexperienced in tlhe
postiltiiionu they wore to play, an/1 it is on
this account tihat the Rug'bys inusit be ex-
cused. T'htey sinaiply did not have thevj
team.
CAPTAIN JULIUS RUHL
Of the S. M. U'b.
In the second lhalf, when lit was seen
how unfit Mack was for tlhe position (he
w-iis playing, he wan put in ihi»» original
t»lace aiC center, Homer was made fu'1'1
back and Goree took his original place as
left tackle. . This made the team have
only two changAs from the original pro-
gramtme—namely, new mien at quarter and
full. When tibia change was made it could
be seen how materially strengthened t'he
team was. Homer played par e tcellence
and proved a great surprise to many peo-
ple. Had h« played that position in tfr?
first thallf 'it is dollars to doughnuts the
'Van^iitiuti would net have scored.
The 'Varsity boys, on the other hand
played as they imtenled all along. The
men were experienced in their pusu'tlions
But tlhey were not as experienced at the
game as the Rugbys were. While t'he
mc'.i had praeuie. .1 miore for their respec-
tive fucufliions, still they were greener, on
tihe whole. So. giving honor where honor
Is due, the whole thing summed up briefly
is this: The Rimg'bys labored under t'he
disailvanitage of 'having their men chained
arouintl, and Majek''3 muff can be account
ed for in this Way. The 'Varsities played
(hard and well to iwiin, and deserved their
vtiotory.
One feaitore of the game, which has
marked all eanifce'sts held here this sea
son, was the gentlemanly manner in Which
It wais played. During the entire gtaimo
there way no roulghness of any, kind, all
•tihe twentyjtiwo» men remembering that they
we me geuuremcto, and not sluggers. It Is
pl/ay'mg of this <-*>rt tlh'ait goes 'to lead to
t'he popularity of the game.
The game\ devoid of sensational plays
was won by bard work, and the individuals
who deserved most praise wore Post,
O'Brien, Sinclair, Homer and Stone. All
these men did good work at different times.
Post was really the superior of alL Ills
kicking could not have been improved
upon. His goal kick was fine and his field
drives long. He> ran and tackled welL He
is by far the best all-around man the 'Var
sitfes have. O'Brien (he of the sure eye),
did some good tackling, but distinguished
himself chiefly by gaining tihe ball from
Mack and scoring the touchdown.
Stone and Sinclair did some good rush
ing. Both ma/l« tnirty-llve-yard ruirs, but
Sinclair madei more long ones. Homer
played a good, sure full back, lie rushes
tho line well.1 at one time making a gain
of eighteen yaTds. He runs high, but fails
to double hi'mself up. This is 'really the
only fault tfhat could be found with his
playing yesterday. Many of the other men
did good work on his side, but his was the
best.
HOW O'BRIEN SCORED.
For the first part of the first half it was
hard to tell which side would score, or
whether either would. While the 'Varsities
were doing the most aggressive playing,
still the Rugbys managed to keep them
from getting too near their scare. The
score was made in the latter part of the
half and came as a surprise. In one play
a touchdown was rmade from the center of
the field when everybody felt sure that the
half would end without a scare. The way
it came about wis as follows:
On tho third down, with fourteen yards
to gain, the ball being about thirty yards
from the Ru»hy s goal, IV»t attempted to
make a drop kick. He sent the ball a little
to the left of the goat At first the spec-
tator* thought h« had beta successful. Tim

goal, eending the ball straight through the
crossbars, and the scare was raiseel to six
points.
HOW THINGS WENT OFF.
Quite different from the weather of a
week ago was that of yesterday. Then it
was rainy, the grounds were wet and the
teams contested in mud knee deep. Yes-
terday morning the sun euone brighter
than it has far many a day; t)ie weather
was nice and balmy; in fact, so far
as Dr. Cline's part in the game was con-
cerned, everything was just "out of sight."
Really had the doctor attempted to s'snd
good weather he could not have succeeded
better. The grounds were not quite dry
yet from the recent rains, but then they
were only damp and interfered in no man-
ner with the game. The park having been
extended on the east side, made it large
enough for the goals to be placed at the
proper distances.
And the crowd was the crowning feature
of the day. Such a crowd is seldom seen
in this city. The stands were as full as
they could be, the bleachers were so crowd-
ed that they could not bleach, and the
grounds cn either side of the field were
swarming over with Interested spectators.
Almost 1*00 men i>aid admissions, beside
which fully eighty season tickets passed
the gates. There were some ccnipllmenta-
ries issued, and fully 200 ladies viewed the
contest, so that at least 1200 people were
present. It was an orderly and .enthusi-
astic crowd, too. Every one kept behind
the ropes, no one except the officers and
new men being on the gridiron. And how
the people did root! Whenever a play was
made that they liked, immediately 1200
throats would sttiout themselves hoarse,
cannon crackers would be exploded and
horns blown. Nearly every one wore the
< olors of one or the other of the teams.
When the touchdown was made tihe noise
turned into an uproar.
HOW THE TEAMS LINED UP.
As far as team work is concerned neither
one could boast of too much of that. It
was a case of every man looking out for
himself. And they did. Sometimes before
the ball was really In play the men in their
eagerness would break through the line.
The line of the 'Varsities was very strong.
They had a habit of playing at least five of
their men behind the line at one time,
which proved a great advantage to them.
Another thing, they bucked the center a
good deal. Now. with all due regard, it
would have been better had this been elim-
inated. It looks rough to the spectators
and in a football game It is always best to
avoid roughness if possible. However, they
were successful in their bucks, much more
so than the Rugbys.
ence went around the right end for ten
yards.
Eichlitz failed to make a gain between
the left end and tackle, but Mack by hard
work managed to squeeze four yards out of
the center. On a criss-cross from Sinclair
to Rogers the ball was fumbled, the 'Var-

The club is cofmpoRed only of ladies, but

one could never imagine the two to be

personally who holds a warmer place In the
hearts of the people.

LAREDO NOTES.
CAPTAIN 10D 8IURGIS
Of tho Rugbys.
In justice a word of commendation must
be spoken of Goree. For an inexperienced
man he made a tine center, holding down
all the men he could. Badger, tin' catcher
of t'h-e Galveston league baseball team, was
another surprise. It is generally conceded
that a baseball player does not make an
eminently successful football player, but
Badger did well, especially in tackling.

ble the 'Varsities lost two. Post again
kicked forty yards, and again Mack failed
to get it. O'Brien rushed up and gained
the pigskin, but none of the Opposing team
having touched the ball, If went to the
Rugbys on an offside play. The 'Varsities
broke through the line and Rogers as
consequence lost three yards. On a criss-
cross after a long run over the entire
breadth of the field Rogers gained a yard.
Mack slipped and lost two yards and the
ball went to the 'Varsities on downs. Post
on a double pass lost a yard and Luitich
gained one. Post kicked out on the 20-
yard line and the ball was brought in
Rogers hesitated receiving the ball and
lost three yards. Sinclair came to the res
cue by making ten yards around the left
and Ilearn lost three, and Sinclair between
left tackle and end gained two. Mack
made a poor kick, the Rugbys getting the
'ball just where they originally had it.
Rogers on a double pas© lost five yards;
Sinclair faille 1 to 'make a g^iin. 'Miaek aa-
