LOCAL BOY SHINES
MAKES STAR PLAY IN FAST FOOT
BALL COMPANY. -.

DR.. J. E. Davis is in receipt Of "The
Log" the school paper of the United
States Naval Academy at Annapolis,
from his son "Bill' Davis who is a
student at that institution. The paper
includes write up of the Naval
Academy and Norfolk Operating Base,
football game and gives considerable
mention of Curtis or "Curley" Oldham,
who starred on the local high school
team for several years. The account
names list of former university stars
on the Norfolk team including King,
of Davidson, all Southern end; Far
reilly, former w. & J. center; Lenz,
half-back on last years West Virginia
team; "Scrappy" Moore, who played
end for Georgia Tech in 1913; and Ed.
die Foley, a star for Holy Cross for the
past two years. In reference to the
stars of the game, "The Log" says:
Moore fought hard all the way, but
it remained for Oldham, the speedy
quarterback of the sailors to furnish
the most sensational play of the game.
In the last period he received the kick
off and shot down the right side of
the field without interference for an
S5-yard run and the sailors only touch
down."
Again in the detailed account OF the
game the writer makes mention of the
sensational run as follows; Perry
missed goal and then kicked off to
Oldham on the Is yard line. The little
quarterback was off like streak OF
lightning and eluded the entire Navy
team for a touchdown. 1t was bril-
liant run and was generously applaud
ed from the stands"
