They were confident ? if victory, bill they did not know what they li.ui to go up ugainst. The two teams were very evenly matched in v eight, but those Washington men couldn't push, and Portsmouth gained through center every lime they tried. Almost the whole game was played on Washington's territory, aild with Ports? mouth in possession of the b.i'l; yet, tiie pluck with which the Washtoninns worked, kept Portsmouth from tit any lime making great gains, /rin game was called at 8:45; Wash? ington wi.is tin; toss and takes the ball.

Dash- I elll's touch-down was made only fc-! yards from the side line, so that it ? was a 'difficult task to kick a second goal for Portsmouth.
