Class Championship.

NINETY-THREE, 10; NINETY-FOUR, 0.

The class foot-ball game on Jarvis field yesterday afternoon was a pleasure to watch. Both teams played remarkably good foot-ball, and the game was lost and won on its merits. In this it was a pleasing contrast to the game of Tuesday, for although there was some rough play, and some holding, yet both teams were on the whole very careful, and the only case of slugging which was noticeable was that for which Duffield was disqualified in the second half, where he lost his temper and struck Gardner. The play of neither team was gentle, to be sure, but the roughness was kept well within bounds.

The game began with the ball in Ninety-three's possession. They started off with a great deal of snap and by a quick succession of well-executed plays forced the ball down to the junior's five-yard line on short gains. Here they lost it, however, on four downs, and ninety-four was forced to kick, but they gained only about ten yards, as the seniors broke through and interfered with Brooks so that the ball went outside at the fifteen-yard line. Here ninety-three took it, and went right ahead again. A rapid succession of short gains, made with great snap and precision, soon took the ball over, Duffield scoring the touch-down. He missed the goal, however. Score, 4-0.

Ninety-four's turn now came, and they made good gains until they were stopped at the thirty-yard line.

In the second half the juniors forced the ball down to the thirty-yard line, by good tricks, the criss-cross giving them 25 yards at one gain. Duffield was disqualified here, and Robb took his place. At the thirty-yard line the seniors again braced up, started a long series of gains, and did not lose the ball again till Parker scored a touch-down from which Ellsworth kicked a difficult goal. Score 10-0.

This ended the scoring, though at the call of time the juniors had the ball well into their opponent s territory.

Ninety-three won by superior team work, especially in their interference, and by their greater snap and precision. The juniors were slow in getting the ball into play, though they had some good tricks; their centre, which was supposed to be their strongest point, did not show up as well as was expected, and most of their gains were made between end and tackle.

The teams lined up as follows:

'93. '94.

Pierce, l.e. Ladd

Ellsworth, l.t. Wheelwright

Broughton, l.g. Williams

Winslow, c. Lee

Chew, r.g. Davis

Cary, r.t. Beals

Dibblee, r.e. Wrenn
