The first match game of the class championship series was played yesterday afternoon on Norton's field between '93 and '94. The grounds were in poor condition, causing much fumbling, and the darkness during the second half made it almost impossible to distinguish the ball.

The game was called at 4.18, '93 having the ball. A V was formed and a gain made, but on a fumble by Robb, the ball went to '94. The freshmen kicked, and Parker and Robb carried the ball back again. Ellsworth followed with a fine rush through the line but again the ball went to '94 on a fumble. Ninety-four punted and '93, by several short rushes, brought the ball back nearly to the line. Here Robb fumbled, and Mackie, picking up the ball, started down the field. His chances were good for a touch-down, but unfortunately the lookers-on had crowded into the field and before he could get through them he was tackled. Ninety-four dropped the ball, and shortly afterwards Elisworth rushed it over and Duffield kicked a goal. Score, 6 0. Time, 18 minutes. Ninety-four made a V and Waters rushed well, but on a fumble '93 secured the ball. By a series of quick, sharp rushes the sophomores brought the ball within a few feet of '94's goal but lost it on four downs. Garrison kicked low and Robb made a great catch and rush. The '93 men, however, were unable to gain the necessary five yards, and the ball again went to '94 on four downs. Time was called with '94 having the ball near their own goal.

Ninety-four opened the second half with a V and made several short gains. The ball was then thrown to Waters but Cary broke through and tackled him. As he fell he passed the ball to Gardner, who made a good run and touch-down. Garrison failed to kick a goal. Score, 6-4. Ninety-three here made some short rushes and were allowed five yards for off-side play. Robb was injured and Broughton took his place. Immediately the criss-cross trick was tried but failed. The ball was in '94's territory when time was called. Final score, 6-4 in favor of '93.
