FORWARD PASS GAME
WINS FOR SHERIDAN
OVER LOCAL HI LADS

A clever system Of aerial attack
coupled with the fast end-running OF
Captain Parr, Sheridan high school
football team broke loose in the sec
ond quarter of Saturdays game al
Sheridan and overwhelmed the Local
high lads by a 81 to 0 score. Rich
mond showed fight in the first quarter
and prevented the strong Sheridan
eleven from crossing the line for any
scores, but the aerial work baffled
Richmond to such an extent that
Sheridan gained rapidly.
The score indicates heavy loss,
but the system of forward passing
was the big factor in the Sheridan
team putting across the win in the
style which they did. The man pas
sing the ball ran back for an unusual
distance behind the line of scrimmage
and waited as long as he could until
the remainder of his team could scat
ter to all parts of the gridiron, thus
furnishing numerous men to pass to
and at the same time BATTLE the de-
Tending team.
Despite the large score, Richmond
showed the Sheridanites some real op-
position when it came to straight
football.

Richmond and chose to receive the
opening kickoff Parr kicked toward

five yards on a line plunge, putting
Richmond nearer mid-field. Sheridan
was penalized five yards for off sides
again. "Gabe" Kennedy then gained
eight yards on short end runs. Rich
