There was but one change in the line-up as given yesterday morning. A vacancy caused by the -sickness of Dadisman, right guard of Washburn, was supplied by Haines, who played his first game yesterday. His fierce playing speaks much for his future work. Besides holding his place in the line he succeeded in completely blocking several line assaults and doing some tackling. Gill centered the ginger ot the Washburn playing and made up much that the-line lacked in strength.

As full he handled most of the punts, making several good kicks with the wind and some for fifteen and twenty yards against it.

However, he kept on forcing McGovern half across the ring, and linally Terry forgot his defense. He simply saw a hurricane of blows coming toward him and there was no guarding on his part.

He. was not rendered unconscious, but it was evident to all present that he know the championship had taken wings as he made wild efforts to regain his feet. Referee White called off ten seconds, while McGovern vallanly struggled. Corbett stepped back in obedience to the referee's although he evidently was in doubt as to his fallen opponent's condition.

McGoVern had given him such a grueling argument that he was for the moment dubious as to whether the Brooklyn boy might not be able to come up again and renew the battle.

The Fairmount football team won a game here today from the Friends' university eleven by a score of 12 to 5. Both teams played hard, but neither seemed to have the ginger they have usually displayed.

Down went Terry again in the second round, and when he got up quickly he rushed like a wild man. He showed a lack of self restraint and in a burst of bad temper hit out left and right, irrespective of all rules and usages. These tactics apparently were just what Corbett was looking for.

Terry was mixing things up with whirlwind velocity and throwing science to the winds. It was anyone's fight at this stage, but Terry fell into a trap, as Corbett feinted and suddenly sent his right out when McGovern was side stepping. This blow just grazed McGovern's head, but a moment later Corbett feinted again and after a rattling exchange sent his right over to the jaw and Terry went down and out.
