THOSE MODEL BOYS
TRIM WINCEST
Take 27-to-6 Came From Them
Friday ON Their Home Field
How it Was Done

With a score of 26 to 6 the Model
High football team won their secord
game of the season from the Win
chester high school team, on the o;3-
ponents grounds, Friday afternoon.
Accompanied by Coach Hembree,
the Model team journeyed to the
neighboring city full of expectation
and hope, which was not blasted when
the team under the captaincy of Bill
Cratcher, and the direction of Quar-
terback VIM. Blanton, carried the lit
tie old ball over the enelny's goal for
four touch downs and three goals.
Last but not least, were the silent
players on the side lines who went
along with the boys to prove their
interest and loyalty for the local
team The team always relies upon
these rooters and claim that they feel
lost unless they know that they are
along.
Winchester kicked the ball into
play, Bill Crutcher receiving it on the
twenty yard line and running it back
to their thirty yard line. BY a series
of line plunges and forward passes
the first touch down for Model was
made less than four minutes after
play. Henry Arnold carrying the ball
and Cructher kicked the goal.
In the second quarter Model scored
two more touch downs, one by Capt.
Crutcher and the other an intercepted
forward pass, by Thomas Allen.
Crutcher agin kicked both goals. The
opponents ~t1ied>a number of forward
passes during this quarter but failed
to complete single one, Arnold, AL
len and Crutcher intercepting every
attempt.
The Winchester lads were success
full in gaining one touch down in the
third quarter by Slucher, the full hack
who was east the outstanding play
er of their team. Winchester failed
to kick the goal and the score stood
21 to 6 in favor of the Model team,
Capt. Crutcher again plunged thru
the line for another touch down in the
last quarter but failed to kick the
goal although assuring a clean score
for his team.
Coach Hembree states there has
been decided improvement in the,
boys during the last sgee.s or SO and
that they are wornikg in ship shape
now, even thought the eligibility list
is scarcely all that the law permits,

JACOB LUTZ TO
BE EXECUTED
JUNE 25


GRAFTON, Feb. 16.-Jacob Lutz,
AS, found guilty second time in cir
cult court here last Thursday of muir
der in the first degree for the killing
of Police Chief j. E. B. Phillips over
year ago, was sentenced to hang at
the state penitentiary at Moundsville
on June 25th. The death sentence
was passed upon the prisoner for a
second time by Judge Neill Fortney
at 1890 o'clock this afternoon.
Lutz was first convicted of first de-
gree murder in circuit court here last
March and was sentenced to hang the
following May, He escaped the gal
lows, however, when the, state SUI
preme court granted a writ of error
and remanded the case for re-trial.
The testimony heard at the second
trial of the case was virtually the
same as that Of the first. The jury
returned its verdict after deliber-
alton of. an hour and a. half.
Lutz, who originally halls from
Baltimore, Md, bears the stamp of
a hardened criminal. He appeared to
take the death sentence in light vein
with no change of his stole demean-
or, and he holds the belief that he
will again escape the gallows.
The prisoner was taken to the Har-
rison county Jail at Clarksburg last
night by Sheriff Newton and deputies
