PREP FOOTBALL GAME
MARION CADETS RAN AWAY WITH
 WETUMPK<A FARMERS.
Spirited Contest in Rain and Mire at Highland Oval Resulted in Vic- tory for Cadets-ScOre
 10 to 0.

Coached into machine-like forma- tions more effective than have ever represented that institution. the Ma rion Military Institute eleven ran away with the awkward but sturdy team of the Fifth District Agricultural School of Wetumpka yesterday after noon at Highland Oval.
 The crowd of spectators was re- duced to very few on account of the chilling rain which fell nearly all day.
 The final score was 40 to in favor of Marion.
 Flesh and moleskin weighed about l60 pounds to the man when both teams trotted on the muddy field and at the end of the contest feshs mole- skin and dirt weighed nearly 175 pounds to the player This would indicate to those who did not see the game the natural difficulties in the way of a fast game.
 Marion Slow in Mire.
 The Marion eleven were slow to &C., commodate themselves to the mire imT pediment of the clay gridiron. Con- sequently they made only two touch downs in the first half. making the score Ii to 0. The Wctumpka defense afforded unexpected resistance to the line attack of the Marion backs and they diminished the score against them.
 But the score of the first half was nearly tripled in the second. The wetumpka team made the mistake in this half of receiving the ball on kick offs. They were unable to vary their plays on the offense. This was dem- onstrated early in the game and was. of course, due to the lack of constant instruction. Therefore, the slow and uncertain gains they made in repeated attacks on the line should have called for kick-ofHs by them to the opponents. Also a few punts scattered through the game despite the slippery field would have reduced the figures in the score.
 The story of the game Is that of @ steady march across the checker-board by the Military Institute eleven. End runs netted most of their gains. As saults on center and tackles were fre- quently represented by the Agricul- turists.
 In rushing the ball. Rosenbaum, Flu bank and Sturdlvant bore a great deal of the Iabors. Peters and Gulley. the Marion ends, played very intelligent games.
 Wetumpka's Defense.
 The feature of the game was the remarkable defense put up by We" tumpka's line preceding tt1 sixth IOuCnQOWHs 1uO odAl Ada DcSh SAA ried to the five-yard line by success sion of tandem plays and end runs. There the Agriculturists' line took such a brace that three downs were neces- sary to complete the touchdown. We tumpka exhibited some excellent ma terial that would be developed by reg ular coaching.
 The Marion team will leave this morning for Pensacola where they play the Atlantic Club eleven of that city Monday.
