MADE A TOUCHDOWN.
A Game of Foot Ball in Which a Stove Came Out Victorious. (From the Chicago Tribune.)
A. T. Smith, a football player on the Chicago University team, played a brief game with a gasoline stove yesterday morning in which his future career as a football player was seriously impaired by the loss of his chrysanthemum hair.
The game was called at 7 o'clock at Smith's home, No. 5522 Madison avenue. The ball used was the regulation gasoline can filled with fluid. The hired girl put the ball in play by pouring gasoline from it into the stove while the burners were lit. Smith made a rush around the right end of the stove and got the ball started for a five-yard line outside the door. He fumbled the ball and the stove tackled him by the hair and scored a touchdown.
Smith then took the ball, and broke through the interference for a water bucket, where he touch goal with his flaming locks. The bystanders became excited by the game and rushed on to the field and the game ended in great confusion and with $20 worth of damage to the surroundings. The score:
Touchdowns—Stove, 1.
Off-side play—Stove.
Injured - Smith.
Time of Game—Five minutes.
Kicked goal—Stove.
Kiched himself—Smith.
Colors—Stove, black and red; Smith, black and blue.
Yell—Ow, Ow, Ow.
Ow, Ow, Ow.
