Foot Ball.
Stanton which has grown in all things
modern, had its Thanksgiving game of foot
ball last Thursday. The elevens were the
students Of the Augusta Military Academy
and an eleven picked players from Staunton.
There was some excellent material on the
Staunton eleven, but they seemed not to
have practiced together, and whilst they
would undoubtedly become strong team If
trained, lacked the practice of their oppo-
nents, and were beaten by score Of to 0.
The mass play of the students the rush line
in which Poindexter formed a very con-
spicuous element, was entirely too much for
the StauntOnians, whilst the playing of
Roller around the ends and his fleet footed
movements were too rapid for the unframed
boys of the billy city.
There was a large crowd out to see the
game, but they ran in on the grounds and
obstructed the view as we'll as the playing.
and made it particularly unpleasant for
ladies who wished to see. Where grounds
are rented as these are, the police regula-
tons can easily be enforced and the field
kept clear. Hereafter when games are
played little system should be observed
and the field can be kept clear of spectators.
Foot ball is splendid game when played
by gentlemen, and is just beginning to be
understood by our people. In few years
Thanksgiving will not be complete without
game. The "roughness" and "bruta lit"
so much talked of disappear very rapidly
as the science of the game increases. LII
to be hoped that Staunton maysoon have a
ground on which the game can be played
without interruption. The line up on
Thursday was
