Freshmen Win Championship

The Freshman team won the class football championship yesterday afternoon by defeating the Seniors in a well fought game by the score of 12 to 5. Although the Seniors had the advantage in weight, it was clear from the beginning that the Freshman team was the stronger because of its superiority in team-work.

A goal from the field was kicked by Stillman just as time was called at the end of the first half. Had this play been tried a few minutes sooner, the Freshmen would have had five more points to their credit.

The Freshman team's strong offensive work advanced the ball quickly down the field, Knowles and Swan alternately rushing and making most of their gains through the Senior's right tackle.

Trainer got the ball on a fumble, but the Seniors were soon held for downs. Swan made a brilliant run of twenty-five yards around right end and a moment later Knowles went through Heath for a touchdown. Stillman kicked goal. A fumble gave the ball to 1903 after the next kick-off, and a long run by Knowles with little interference brought the ball down to the 25-yard line. Stillman's field goal followed, but could not be counted.

In the second half a fumble gave the ball to the Seniors, and they advanced it steadily, alternating heavy mass plays through the Freshman left guard with end runs. Finally Shaw went through for a touchdown. The second touchdown was made after a series of long runs by the Freshmen. At the thirty-yard line Knowles took the ball through right tackle and passed it to Derby, who, with excellent interference, ran twenty-five yards for a touchdown. The Freshmen had the ball on the Senior's 35-yard line and were gaining steadily when time was called.
