Justice Wins Game
For Fitzgerald High
Touchdown in First Half Beats Ash
burn School in Second Game

A touch down by Arthur Justice
half back followed by a clean goal
kicked by Reginald Borough, end,
gave Fitzgerald High School the VIC
tory in her second game with Ash
burn High School Friday afternoon
by a score of seven to nothing. Jus
tice was the outstanding star of the
Fitzgerald team. He gained as much
ground as all the rest of the back
field and made several spectacular
plunges of ten to twenty yards thru
the line. His defensive work was
brilliant, too, and as safety, he
stopped every Ashburn effort to
break through the ironclad Fitz- Hi
defense for a touchdown,
The entire Fitzgerald team put up
an excellent game. The line held
like bunch of college varsity veter-
ans and except In few instances the
backheld presented well organized
interference for its runners. Both
teams were weak on punting and
only one trick play worked, one
which Ashburn put across, but at
straight football the boys showed
splendid form.
Fitzgerald's line up was: Lonnie
Whitley, fuliback; Jack Boney, right
half; Arthur Justice, left half; Dur
wood Boney, quarter; Marvin Nor
ris, center; Ed Stovall, right guard;
Travis Morris, left tackle, Raymond
Rogers, right tackle, Harvey Jay,
left end, Reginald borough, right
end; Ranald Burke substituted for
L. Whitley in the last quarter.
The Ashburn line up was: Bell,
center. Maddox and BARLEY guards,
Joe and George johnson, tackles, Boil
den and Davis ends, Jenkins, quarter
Horn captain, and Reeves half backs,
Simpson, full back. R. G. Tallia-
ferro is coach.
