| noon before rather small crowd oi
enthusiasts The game was rough
and hard-fought throughout and play
ers were frequently hurt. but none
of them had to be removed on ac-
count of injuries. There appeared 10
be bad blood between the eleyens
and cnce Right End Wilkinson, OF
the locals, and Left End Upshur, OF
. the visitors. engaged in a fist hSht.
Wilkinson lad his man out with
right wallop TO the jaw and 1t was
several minutes before Upshur was
able TO resure play.
Although neither side scored. st.
yincent's easily had the advantage
of the match. ouiplaying the visitors
in practically every department of the
game. And this is spite of the fact
that Jim Barry. Fuerstein. Bowdoin
and several other famous college
players were in the Norfolk lineup.
Hancock Hamilton. the fast little
quarterback of the locals. was the
particular star of the game. He cas-
lily outshone the college stars
on the visiting team. He ran up
punts in great style. made repeated
dashes OF from ten to twenty yards
through half of the Norfolk team.
Several times he knocked Off Jim
Barry and Fuerstein and found little
difficulty in twisting away from the
opposing players He ran the locals
we'll. directing the brunt OF the at
tack against Norfolk's rather weak
line. He made several good gains
around the end and tackled sure and
hard
The locals had all the advantage
in the opening half The team show
ed up to splendid advantage on the
defense and Norfolk was unable 10
make any gains. either through the
line or around the end. Bristow,
Noble. Goode. Wilkinson. rip john
son. and Nonfalcone were in the
game every second and they held the
line like stone wall. every attack
being repulsed. Carroll and Sinclair
did coed work ON the defensive
whenever end runs were attempted.
The Blues resorted TO much kicking
in this half because they were I'M
able 10 make first down. Invariably
Hamilton caught the ball and ran 1t
back for good distances amid the
cheers of the crowd Cochran, Car
roll Sinclair and Hamilton made good
gains with the ball. the first three
named frequently tearing of five,
eight and ten yards through the op
posing line
Following a stiff cali from Coach
Branch Johnson. former Virginia
star. during the intermission, Norfolk
went into the second half more de-
termined and succeeded in holding
the locals much better than they did
in the first half. They also made
some substantial gains. but only once
did they get within striking distance
of the locals goal and then FueT-
STEMS attempt at goal was blocked.
but a Norfolk man recovered the
ball
At the outset, Norfolk adopted rath-
or rough tactics and there was mucn
holding. but the officials didn't see
It. However, this caused mucn ar
guing between the players and once
or twice fights were threatened
The locals did considerable kick
ing against the work CT Referee Sc
gard, of Norfolk. and it appeared to
the spectators that the locals had
kicks coming on several occasions
When Wilkinson ard Upshur mixed In
the fight. the referee started to rule
them out OF the game. but later de-
cided that there was no smuggling.
However. he gave the bali to Norfolk
when u belonged TO the Saints
Again two local mer rolled on the
hall in a tumble. but a Norfolk man
got both hands on ,. around the body
Of a local player and the referee gave
the ball 10 Norfolk
