Old Point Comfort College Eleven
Defeated on Casino GrldIfon.
COllEG|lNS UNABLE TO SCORE
Local Players Make Touchdown and
Get One Drop Kick from Field for
Total OF Eight Points--6is Crowd
Sees Good Game.

Several hundred enihueiasIs saw
the football eleven OF the local High
school defeat the team Of Old Point
Comfort College on the Casino grid
iron yesterday afternoon by a score
OF 8 TO 0. This was the second game
OF the season for the local team ana
il has not yet been scored on.
Old Point Comfort College was
clearly outclassed by the locals ana
II was evident almost from the star
that the home boys would win The
locals played a much better game
than they did in the opening contest
of the season last week when they
defeated the ST. Vincent's Juniors by
a score OF ) to 0.
Garner made all of the points for
the High school. He first crossed the
college goal fer the only touchdown
OF the game in the second half. but
missed the goal from the touchdown.
Later he made drop kick from The
field. netting three more points.
Corbell again played star game
for the High school and he proved a
consistent ground gamer. Payne and
Garner also played well. Duvall Hud-
son played at fulh5ack during the last
half and showed some OF his old time
dash and skill. He was injured al
practice early in the season and is
just recovering sufficiently to get into
the game. Clarke ran the local team
well.
Old Point played a consistent game
and appears TO have strong eleven.
However, the High school team is
more than a match for 1t and indica-
tons are that this eleven will develop
into the best the local school has had
in many years.
A half hundred or more members
Of the High school Rioters Club al
tended the game and their cheering
was a feature The girls waved
their school flags and sang songs
throughout the game.
The local school is arranging Tor
games with the Norfolk and Hamp-
ton High school teams.
Those who played with the High
school team yesterday were: Hudson,
Corbell, Garner, Payne, Clarke, Fitz-
gerald, Morgan. Asst, Bennett. Whit
ney. Robinson and Nicholas.

The case reported in the forego-
ing dispatch is interesting locally,
not only because of the well known
people involved, but mainly on ac-
count of the Importance of the prin-
ciple contained in the decision 1t
was begun in the spring of 1907.
when Chaplin ct al brought suit
against the DoUghertys and others
in the district court of Hidalgo
county for tTespass to try title The
defendants removed the cause to the
United States court and a nOn-Suit
was entered by the plaintiffs. An
other action similar to the first was
brought in the HidaIgO District
court by the plaintiffs, whereupOn
the defendants appealed to the Fed
eral court for equitable relief in
the nature of a suit to remove cloud
from title. The argument on the
question of their right to obtain
equitable relief was heard at the
spring term of the Federal court in
1903 at Brownsville. The court
rendered a decision in their favor
and the case was set for trial at
the fail term, at which time, by
consent, it was put over to the pres
ent term of the [. s. district court
IT Houston, witI the result noted
in the above dispatch
