BY ERNEST POLLARD.

John Marshalrs gridiron warriors
ushered In the football season yester-
day afternoon at Broad-Street Park in
most suspicious manner, proving
easy victors over those plucky young
sters from Petersburg High School.
The Marshallites simply ran wild at
times, and when the hostilities had
ceased the Blue and White boys were
grasping just sixty ne points, while
the Cockade City sta. warts were fond
ling goose-egg.
For the first few minutes of play
the Petersburg footballists put up a
brilliant game. and 1t looked as If
the contest was destined to be close
one. After playing FIVE minutes
Johnny Core made a thirty-yard run
from a fake formation over the goal
line for touchdown. and this seemed
to take the starch out Of tho visitors
for a while. for in the next few min
utes of play the Marshailites regis
tered two more touchdowns. The first
quarte- ended with the score stand
ing 90 to 0 in favor of the local High
School lads. After this the result
was never in doubt.
Tho second quarter was repetition
Of the flrst The Marshallites plunged
ed the ends for substantial gains and
bringing their total for the initial
half up to forty.
In the third quarter the Peters
burgers came back with a vengeance,
and for time the line proved i'm
pregnable. However in a short while
1t gave way again. and the Marshall
ties marched tho ball from the CEN
ter Of the fe1d across the goal line.
This was the only ono gained during
this quarter. the Goobertown eleven
putting up a good game during the
remainder OF the period. However. in
the final one the Marshallites started
another series of line plunges and
runs. which resulted IN two additional
touchdowns, bringing their total for
the afternoon up to sixty-one.
Put Up plucky Fight.
Petershurg's line probably out
weighed the Marshallites, but the
backf1eld men were very light. De-
spite this handicap. however. the
