Passing Features

overwhelming odds, suffered defeat
Thanksgiving Day in the final strug
gle of the season with Pineville High
on the latter's field. The local boys
in the presence of a crowd of $1,000
spectators, showed symptoms of stage
fright in the early part of the game.
Later they recovered themselves and
displayed some of the most spectacu-
lar football ever witnessed on the
Pineville gridiron.
The moment Pineville appeared on
the field to run their preliminary
plays, it was evident that the odds
were decided in their favor. With d
team averaging Is pounds per man
more than the Model team it was no
difficult task TO predict the outcome
Plainly it was to be a contest of skill
against Drawn. Subsequent events
proved a revelation to Pineville IN
football strategy.
The first half was lacking in thrills
from the spectators viewpoint.
Straight football, with the ball see
saving up and down the field, appear
ed the order of the day; resulting in
a decided advantage to neither team.
1t seemed as though each team wa7
trying to feel the other out, seeking
! ton discover vulnerable spot in the
\ others defense. The heavy Pinevilie
I backs, however, demonstrated theII
ability to make constant gains thru
+ the line of the local boys. Plainly it |
was only a question of time when
they would succeed in battering down
Models secondary defense. The frsr
! half ended with the ball in Pineville's
possession on Models 25-yard line.
