feet and making long gains almost at
will Central High School decisively de-
feated Gallatin High School in a run
away contest in Riverside Park Fri
day afternoon. The score Of SIS to 0
truly represents the comparative
strength of the two elevens.
From the beginning Of the game the
Maury county players were the only
things on the gridiron. Although Gal
latin played gamely, the team was
never able to seriously check the on
rush Of Central. Time and again the
local players got away for long runs
ending in touchdowns.
The defeat was the first Of the year
for GalIatin High. Coming to Column
bia with high hopes and resolute
spirit to crush Columbia, the visiting
team was met with a diversified at
tack and a still line The defeat was
utter.
But twice did Gallatin High make
the necessary yards to be awarded a
first down. Always the line OF the
Central School held like rock wall.
But once did Gallatin seriously endan-
ger the goal line of their opponents,
End then tumble three feet distant
from the goal shut off forever the
hopes of emerging from the game I'M
whitewashed.
The local eleven started things with
rush. Gallatin kicked off and the
ball was run back to the Central forty
yard line. On the first play Shelton,
the diminutive quarterback of the To-
cal team, dashed around left end for
a run of sixty yards and touchdown,
He planted the ball squarely between
the goal posts, and Thomas had little
difficulty in booting the oval between
the uprights. The whole proceeding
took thirty seconds, and was one of
the quickest touchdowns ever made in
Columbia
Central kicked off to Gallatin, and
the visiting players held the ball for
a few downs Then Roberts, fullback
for Central intercepted a forward pass
and dashed madly forty yards down
the field. He was tackled on the ten
yard line. The Gallatin line held firm
for two downs, but on the third at.

Thus did the game progress until
the large score was run up by the To-

one scare was thrown into Columbia
ranks, when Gallatin made it's two
first downs of the game and carried
the ball to the High School three-yard
line. Here Central held firm, and Gal

ball was kicked out Of danger and the
merry march to the Gallatin goal was
resumed.
