MARSHALLITES DEFEAT
BLACKSTONE. ACADEMY
Thirteen Proves Hoodoo For Visiting Aggregation and Local
High School Eleven Piles Up Just That Many Points
on Cadets-Game Is Interesting One.

John Marshall High Schools crack
football eleven continued its victorious
rampage on the gridiron yesterday
afternoon out at Broad-Street Park,
at the expense OF Blackstone Military
Academy, winning from the visiting
soldier boys by a score OF 3 to o.
Before we proceed with this mar
!. rative we desire to suggest to Black
stone to refrain from arranging any
athletic contests on the thirteenth Of a
month. This is q hoodoo day for the
Cadets. Yesterday was the thirteenth.
Blackstone used thirteen players dur
ing the game and the visitors had
thirteen points piled up against them.
So there you are.
Blackstone was defeated all right
but the visiting aggregation gave the
local high school lads one of the hard
est battles OF the season. Both teams
put up a brilliant exhibition and the
game was undoubtedly one of the best
preparatory school combats witness
ed at Broad Street Park this season.
Neither side was able to push a
player across the goal line in the first
half. and at this time II looked as If
they were destined to battle to to
0 standstill. However, It may be said
that the Marshallites had no little
hard luck in this half for on three
occasions they advanced the oval
within close proximity OF the goal
tumble or to have some other disaster
befall them.
blackstone Starts Well.
Blackstone started the second half
OFT In the most suspicious manner.
