around all right and were able to finish
the game after taking their allotted
time. Red Harris played his usual

tackles during the course of the event

This team is considered to be the best
in the district, having won the cham
pionship of the city often in the past
six years. IT Shepherd College wins
this game, theptwill have had a sue
cessful campaign chasing the pigskin.
That's where you're all wrong, a foot
ball is not made of pigskin but of cow
hide. To date the Shepherd College
team has only lost two games-one to
Martinsburg High School and the other
to S. V. A. last Saturday. Comparing
the scores that were made against s.
V. A. by Shepherd College and Mar
tinsburg, it will be seen that the Col
lege team is the better team. Mar,
tinsburg did not score against S. "
A. who beat them 48 to o. Shepherd
College did make two touchdowns,
showing their superiority. We DOM
mind losing to team like S. V. A.,
but it does go against the grain to lose
to team that is not in our class.
