] II MARSHALL WIPES
Ur THE GROUND WITH.
the MAURY HIGH ELEVEN

The erroneous account OF the v, Ohm
Marshall game in Norfolk Thursday.
printed in another morning paper. in
which 1t was stated the local boys
were defeated by the Norfolk high
school team, caused much indigna-
ton in the ranks OF the Richmond
team and Its friends.
Az A matter of fact the John Mar !
shall team wiped the ground up with |
ms Maury eleven. as the following
story, taken from the NirginiaD-Pi Pilot
shows.
The heavier, faster and better
trained John Marshall high school
elevcn easily defeated the Maury
Commodores at League park yester-
day afternoon by 20 to o score
Though. outclassed and outpiayed,
Maury demonstrated wonder1us
nghting spirit, and lost the ball on
the l0-yard line in the third quarter
on downs after marching in excellent
styIe almost the length of the field,
thereby losing their only real oppor-
tunity to cross the John Marshaii
gal zine. The game was the fastest
and best played In Norfolk this sea
son, both elevens being in good phys
zeal condition and possessing an ex-
celfent knowledge of the game Wen
over 3000 people, the largest num-
her to attend a high school game in
Norfolk, witnessed the contest
The fact that John Marshall pre-
srDted the best trained eleven dio
not withdraw credit from the COM
nodores. The local boys never gave ]
M. and staged a wonderful come
back in the second half. Lefty
Woolfork, Maury's demon halfback,
slow TN getting under way, gained
half the ground made by the comino-
dures On four occasions Woouolk
made the required 10 yards on one
attempt, either circling an end or
sassaShed of tackle. He was easily
the outstanding star of the game,
and Ii might be said in his favor
that fans were commenting thar
Aa..ss looked TO be . one-man team.
