BOONE TEAM HAD GOODS

In a game characterized by dash
ing and determined play on the part
of the victors, the Severn Naval Pre-
paratory School of Boone. Md, won
handily from the candidates team Of
Wilmer and Chews Academy, of An
napolis, at Boone. Saturday, by the

In weight, the teams were very
evenly matched, but the Severn team
from the start displayed better CO.
ordination in its team work, and with
a better assortment Of plays in which
the timing was, as rule excellent,
they had not trouble in getting the
jump on the Annapolitans from the
first whistle.
The Wilmer Chew team lost the
toss and Severn received the ball on
the first kick-off. After gaining sew
eral first downs they were finally held,
but as Wilmer-Chew could do little
in the way of gaining, they soon re-
covered the pigskin and began an un-
interrupted march down the field for
the first touchdown, Ball carrying the
leather over.
After this Severn opened up its play
and with forward passes varying OFF
tackle dashes and end rushes, put the
ball over for a second touchdown, and
scored the third touchdown just be-
fore the close of the half.
In the second half four touchdowns
were registered, and although at times
Wilmer-C Chew obtained the ball, they
speedily relinquished it as they found
the Severn line stonewall So eff
fective were the Severn forwards in
breaking up plays that only one first
down was scored by the lads from
Annapolis, although at times the work
of individual members of the team was
first class.
The Wilmer-Chey team had num-
Der of good players. but the team as
whole suffered from lack Of coach
ing, and team work was conspicuous
by it's absence. Hunter and Nash
showed very creditable form for the
losers, and Hunter in particular was
in every play, while Captain Hooe
fought hard in losing struggle.
The work of the whole Severn team
was consistent. but standing out es-
pecially was backfield play Of Bald
