RICHMOND VICTORY
IN ARMlSTICE GAME

A blocked kick which rolled behind
the Indianapolis goal line and was
captured by Roach, local left half, en-
abled the Richmond American Legion
team to triumph over the Greenwood
American Legion post of indianapolis,
Z to 0, Thursday afternoon on Reid
field The game was a good exhibition
of football and above the general
class put up by independent teams.
The rough playing that generally
features an independent game was alb
sent, and every man on the two teams
| played clean, fast and hard.
Roach and AshiHger stood out prom
inently for the Richmond team. AShin-
ger got away for pretty So yard end
run at one time and hit the line fear
lessly when given the ball. Roach had
his eyes on the ball at all times and
sifted through for consistent gains. His
big play was the blocking of a drop
kick on his 20 yard line, recovering
the ball which had rolled to the
Indianapolis 20 yard line.
Roach Captures Oval.
Webb, left end, blocked the Indian
apols punt four minutes before the
close Of the game, which rolled across
the goal line after it had eluded a
Richmond and indianapolis player.
! Roach captured the pigskin.
Straight football was played virtual
ly all the first half by both teams,
straight line plunges being used con-
sistently. In the second half both
opened up with an aerial attack which
failed to give either a great advantage.
indianapolis completed two of their at
tempts, both for gains of l. yards.
The locals were unable to get their
passes across, although they tried
