John Marshall High school found
McGuire's University school exceed
inEIy easy yesterday afternoon and
defeated Coach Richardson's speed
boys by the unexpected score Of 1870.
There was no doubt after the first
few minutes OF play as to who would
win the game. 1t became merely a
matter what the Anal score would
be. High school outplayed their OPP
ponents in every department and de-
served all that they got. Their in
reference and line plunging were
probably the greatest factors in their
victory.
Coach Blsnton has developed one
Of the best teams that has ever worn
the white and Blue, and one that
from present indications should win
the preparatory championship Of the
city with comparative ease. The team
is a machine in it's work, and. al
though there are individual stars in
the lineup whose work stands out.
the men pun together in a way that
cannot fail but win yards. The
knowledge OF the game which they
displayed when on the defense was
wonderful. Many times the little
ends, Brumble and Palnore. Owed
under the MeGuirc's interference and
brought II down, leaving the runner
for the haifbaek gone few yards fur
Their on.
II lis true that the University school
boys found openings and that they
several times advanced the ball n
great portion OF the distance To the
goal. but High school always brsced
when within their 2e-yard line, and
either took the ball or forced their
opponents to kick.
McGuiFe's slow Speed.
The work NJ the McGuire's team Is
not disparased, however, From the
very start the youngsters were in the
game end PLAYED With the speed and
dash that always rharaeterizes their
play. They are a fast eIesen and
one that never gives up. no matter
how much the odds against them.
Several of the men are particularly
fast too. and the way they run the
ends In A. caution. Especially Is thts
true of paschatl whose work tn TIE
baekfeld is alwaars one of the fea-
lures He is probably the most ex-
perieneei man on the team. having
been in McGnire's lineup for the past
three seasons He picks his open
ings with cool eye and unfaiiing judy
nent.
1t would be hard to name the most
deserving men on the High school
team. The entire eleven PLAYED sncn
dandy game that to name rarticu-
lar members is 10 take credit from the
others. Cosby. though, probably,
made the best impression on the goo
spectators with his great end runs,
The boy has made almost unbeilev-
a BILE progress since last year and has
learned to keep on his feet and TO ward
off tackiers so that now he generally
makes about FIVE yards after he ~
tackled by stumbling and falling his
fun length. Craig is no doubt the
fastest man on the team and Tor
hoy who is playing the game for the
IRIS, time is a prodigy of ability.
Rrayahie was played at ftilf Nsstas--
day and made even a better showing
in that position than he did AT hair
i'm tho Academy game. He lanced the
Mcclure line for steady gains Of frons
six To fifteen yards and twice was
GATED upon TO carry tfr ftigshia over
when the team had gotten wffnin
striking distance. And each tlms he
made good, too.

game form A TO u and could give
many quarters on much larger teams
than the high school pointers as to
how to run an eleven. In the bne

once took a recess al the result OF
sensational one. Hoover.
on the other side of the line, was not
one whit behind his captain and the
two ends. and the guards. but VIVA.

Individual ability as that shown ~
Coach Blanton's squad
Baseball was the hardest player on
thF Mcclure eleven and was recog-
nixed amongst those who were drag
we'd out of the pile after each play
CAPTAIN Wilson was another whose
work was conspicuous; but 1t is to-
Hammond that you have TO bow u.
Brumble and Palmore on the VIC
torious team were good. but the uni
versity school end was better. he
played a dandy good game at all
times and but little distance was GAIN
ed around his cornner of tho lot. At
times Cogbill broke into the play with
nice runs and some pretty lodgiHg
. nd Briggs work in guard was steady
but the irst named players stood pat
straight through the game ana won
