The Sumter high school eleven tri-
umphed over the local High school
here yesterday afternoon by the score
OF IL to 6. Outplayed In the first
quarter the Maroon squad came back
strong In tho second quarter. BY q
brilliant 75-yard run Of Reynolds they
score n touchdown In the third quar-
ter. With the score points against
them In the fourth period they gave
a great demonstration Of the fighting
spirif and rushed the pigskin to with
In three yards Of Sumters' goal line
when time was called. With n min
ute and half to play the score
would have been tied perhaps. How
ever. N there was no minute and a
half the only thing the local lads de-
rived from their wonderful squirt was
confidence and feeling Of "well
done"
The lines Of the two teams were
about evenly matched. Toward the
end of the contest the Sumter line
strengthened and only short gains
were able to be made through 1t.
During the first quarter long end runs
by the up-Staters proved great ground
gamers. but during the latter part of
the game the runners were nailed
time after time back to the line for
considerable losses. This attack
proved sufficient to register a touch
down In the first quarter, for with
the ball In their territory. Burns rip
PED on nine yards around end. Brad
ham followed w.t.. eighteen, and
Burns added to this total with ZEN
more. A play through the line gain
ed nothing. but Burns peeled off five
around end. Boyle was then given
the ball and skirted the end for
twenty-five yards and a touchdown.
Flowers kicked goal.
In the second quarter Charleston
had all the better OF the argument,
but could not score. A great amount
OF this may be attributed to the fail
ure Of the many attempted forward
passes. On numerous occasions did
this play fail to work. Lack of eff
Tort on the part OF the ends and the
lack Of a competent passer was no.

and began fighting In earnest. Short

nolds ripped his way through tackle
and went over the line for a touch
down. The run was the feature play
OF the afternoon. the ball being car
ried seventy-five yards by the brilliant
half. Gaillard failed ut goal.
Not to be outdone by his rival Boyle
shortly afterwards went over tackle
and ran sixty-three yards for the Sec
ond touchdown for Sumter. Flow
ers failed to kick goal. Reynolds and
HUDSON made number of sensation
al runs around the ends and through
the line during both this quarter and
the fourth period. Reynolds particui-
ariy distinguished himself. A num-
ber Of fumbles by Hudson marred his
good work.
In the fourth quarter the Charleston
High carried the ball within three
yards OF the goal line. but the time
keeper stopped the game just as the
ball was ready to- be snapped and
Sumter had won.

tackles and put up a rather neat
game. w. Shaw at centre worked
hard.

performer for Charleston and played

cal team showed up well and put up
a remarkable game for the first of
the season.
