Youngsters Play Classy Ball and Show knowledge

Matthews jumped deeper into the
game with another long run. and when
the whistle ended the half the ball
was on the Benedictine lSyard line
In their opponents possession.
That closed the real playing Of the
game. After The fTsT pFeiimfuartgs
of the second half the meeting of the
teams became a romp for the public
school boys. They tore their way
through the battered line of cadets,
they romped a lively course around the
ends. and they forward passed over
the line as though an opposing player
was the furtherest from their thoughts.
Kenny Wood Scores.
Fumbles played a great part in this
and the remaining quarter and aided
the winners In reaching a position from
which little Kenny Wood seooted over
for another touchdown. Matthews
missed this chance at goal. as he did
each of the remaining The quarter
ended after Benedlctlne had success
fully worked their only forward pass
of the game.
The weakened Benedictine team gave
way completely In the next hnal period
and were three times scored on. Again
the smashing interference of the high
school swept them out of the path of
the runner Again the end runs and
the forward passes played their part
and every few minutes the blue and
white quarter renewed tho interest of
the crowd by uncorking something new.
Several long runs were made in the last
quarter, W. Owens, Matthews and
Cosby generally carrying the ball
Matthews made two of the last scores
and Turner crossed the line the other
time.
Simpson Has Great Machine.
The game demonstrated more than
anything else the efficiency of team
work and conditioning. After the FIRST
few minutes the cadets were in the
air and unable TO keep pace with the
speed of the opponents, Bad head !
work kept them in critical positions /
and the haphazard Interference and /
tackling made them easy picking.
Coach Simpson has built up a great /
little machine since the Chester game !
and one which bids fair to continue the !
high school record of the past several /
seasons by defeating the other prep 1
schools Of the city. There is systematic /
play. with plenty of spirit and endur- /
ance built up by stern conditioning, /
which with the speed of the individ- |
uals and their ability to pull together /
makes combination more teams than /
the Benedictine eleven will find diff-
cult 10 defeat.
Matthews held a position all his /
own yesterday and played a corking
game. So did little Wood, and Brum-
BILE and Owens and Cosby and Atkin-
son, Bethel, and. in fact, every mem
Der of the team. At times several OF
the Cadets also broke into prominence
with excellent work. Asher, while In
the game, did good work, but showed I
Parsons and Amos play
ed hard, the latter showing consid-
cradle ability as a punter. Fletcher
and those in the center of the line
STAYED off attack after attack. and in
the majority of the scrimmages Pur-
cell generally was connected with
some part OF the runners anatomy.
