FRANKLIN BOYS
DEFEAT CADETS
BATTLE GROUND WINS GAME BY
THE DECISIVE SCORE or
SIXTEEN TO o.

BY a score OF 10 to o the football
team Of the Columbia Military Acad-
envy, the pride OF the school and Of
the town, went down in defeat Satur-
day afternoon before the Battle
Ground Academy team of Franklin.
1t was a sad disappointment for all
who saw the game and for the cit
izens of the town who take a deep
interest in the success Of the boys,
for while it was thought possible that
the cadets would meet defeat, the de-
cisive nature of the score was a sad
surprise. Out-played out-lucked and
the victims of several rank decisions
on the part of one of the officials, Mr.
Cooley, is the solution OF the over
whelming victory. The two teams
were fairly equal in weight, though
the visitors appeared to have some
advantage in this line. Both teams
fumbled repeatedly, though it looked
as if the fumbles for the home team
came at the most dangerous periods. /
G.. M. A. kicked off and from that /
time on to the end Of the first half /
the ball was for the most part in c. NJ
A. territory On several occasions
the visitors had the ball within strik-
ing distance and it looked as if they
would go over for touchdown. They
did in fact carry the ball over one
time, but in doing so made an off-side
play and were brought back The
cadets relied almost entirely on
straight foot ball and failed to make
any appreciable gains with this style
Of play. The few forward passes they
did try were almost invariably FUN
bled, while the visitors made some T
good gains by the pass. The half q
ended, however, with the score 0 to o. I
In the second half B. G. A. kicked q
OFF. Haywood made one good gain I
drought the line, but was finally fore Il
ed to punt and the ball was in the q
hands of the enemy. Then came the
rank decision which resulted in the a
FIRST touchdown for the visitors B. {
g. A. attempted a forward pass, which u
was fumbled and G. M. A. got the ball. NJ
Official Mobley either did not see the az
play or did not understand it, for tr
he took the ball away from c. M. A. W
and gave it to the visitors Capt Jen- g
zins by a nice run carried the ball n
'ver for touch down, goal was kick al
I'd and the score was to 0. The ball
vas soon back in C. NJ. A. territory
Both teams were penalized several III
ines, the visitors receiving more la
enalties on account of misplays, but in
D spite of this by straight line buck 40
ng B. G. A. soon had the ball over 90
gain and the score was II to 0. B. TIRE
/ A. allowed the ball to touch the Sc
round when preparing to kick goal co
, rec
nd lost the privilege of kicking. The Ia
all was put in play again and B. G. F.
!. made a brilliant run of sixty yards the
)r the final touch down. Goal was lld
Kissed and the score was 16 to O. II
hen the ball was again put in play col
ucius Clark was sent in at quarter Off
,r the cadets and made some nice -
anC
aims. He seemed to get more speed I
I'd lift into the boys besides doing s
,lendi dwork himself, and for few
inutes it looked like G. NJ. A. would p"'
over but the time was too short.
Guthrie, the crack quarterback of W
e visitors, did brilliant work, as did
apt jenkins. In fact the visitors
I'd an all round good team and will
We a good account of themselves
ON now on. Black, Nathan, Kinzer 40,
Id Clark probably did the best work
r the cadets.
he line up was as follows:
