FOOTBALL.
Wilmington High School Defeats Our
High School 6 to 0.

In their second game of the season
our high school football team was de-
feated Saturday by Wilmington high
school team by close margin. The
score was to 0 in favor of the Will
mington team.
| The game was played in Wilmington
and the field being so very sandy add
! ed to the good playing of the Whining
ton team, and made it impossible for
Goldsboro to score against them.
The game was called at $3.50 and
two twenty-minute halves were play
ed, with an intermission of fifteen
minutes. Wilmington won in the toss,
and Goldsboro received the kickoff.
During this half Goldsboro outplayed
Wilmington altogether, keeping the
ball in Wilmington's territory the
greater portion of the half. Neither
team scored anything in this half, and
it ended Go1dsboro 0, Wilmington 0.
The second half began with Colds
boro kicking off to Wilmington. Will
mington fumb1ed the ball. In the
first ten, minutes of play there were
numerous punts by both teams. In
this half Wilmington did better work
than in that of the first. But Colds
boro gained a considerable amount of
territory by the numerous line
plunges of our fullback Rackley. And
And also by Rings good work in re-
gaining punts.
About the middle of the half, when
the ball was down in Wilmington's
territory, and on about their forty
yard line, they scored a touchdown.
A forward pass was made from Will
mington's quarterback to their left
end. Davis, who passed Goldsboro's
right end, fu1lback and quarterback,
came nearer to Go1dsboro's quarter
back than to anyone else, who ought
have stopped him, but did not do so.
Davis also made the free kick. The
game continued with the ball mostly
in the possession of Goldsboro, who
had not given up the game, but was
trying hard to win, or at least tie it.
But time was soon up with the ball
in the centre of the field Wilmington,
6; Goldsboro,0.
Although our team did not come out
victorious in this game, they should
be given credit for their good work.
In this game our team was made
weaker by the absence of our half
back, two substitute backs were used.
We have not had coach this year.
and what our team has done, they
accomplished by their own hard work.
On the other hand the Wilmington
team has been coached by their super
intendent, Mr.. Siegel, who two years
ago was one of Carolina's ablest play
ers. In this game both teams were
about evenly matched in weight, and
we think that Goldsboro outplayed
Wilmington during the entire game.
And we also believe that in another
game with Wilmington on a harder
field, the results will be altogether
different from that Of Saturday.
