CADETS PUT UP GAME SCRAP BUT ARE SWEPT OFF FEET IN
 THE LAST HALF BY HOWARD
Mccarthy And Stevens Score TouchdoWnS That Give The Bulldogs Win In First Game Of Season

The Howard Bulldogs swept the Marion Cadets off their feet in the last half of their game at Berry Field Saturday afternoon and won by the score of 19 to O. The lighter Marion team put up a game scrap and during the.$irst half played the Bull dogs to a stand still. Although the ball was in the Cadets territory most of the time the Baptists were never able to make much headway against their opponents. It was not until the second half that the Bulldogs were able to pierce the line of Cadets and put over their first touchdown.
 It was in the first part of the sec ond half, with the ball on the 30 yard line in Marion territory. that Coach Cope sent in his entire varsity backfield, with the exception of Stevens, who played the whole game. Gaylord went back in for Lollar, who Nsubstituted for him in the second half. White took his place from Weber and Mccarthy went back in at full. Then wt4h a fresh offensive combination the Bulldogs started a rush which the Cadets were unable to stem dur ing the remainder of the game, al- though they fought gamely to the last.
 The march that resulted in the first touchdown was started when
 
 fully executed pass from Stevens and went five yards farther making a 20- yard gain. Stevens made a pretty run around right end that placed the ball on Marion's two-yard line. Three bucks were necessary to put 1t over. Mccarthy crashed through for a touchdown on the third buck. Stevens missed a place kick for point t-after- goal
 At the beginning of the third uar- ter Howard had the ball on Marion's 22-yard line. Stevens made a 10-yard gain around left end. Gaylord carried it four vars farther. Stevens went two yards over right end and fol- lowed with a touchdown over lfet end He again failed to kick goal from placement.
 Howard started their offensive from the 3O-yard line late in the last quarter, which resulted in final touchdown. Ford made five over left end. Stevens ran 13 around end, Me Carthy went five through the line and then went over again for touch down. Stevens kicked goal from placement. making the score 19 to 0.
 For Marion the play of the Gilbert brothers was an outstanding feature E. Gilbert. at quarter, made the long, est gain of the day for Marion. He made beautiful 30-yard gain around right end and numerous short gains through the line and around end In the first half. l.. Gilbert, at end, played a great defensive game. Samuels caught a pretty pass for a 20-yard gain while Brady made a pretty run gain through the line for 20 yards. Wolf also played good offensive game on one occasion run ming for 20 yards around left end.
 The Marion eleven could not get their offensive organized effective
 
 carried the ball down the field on rushes that could not be stemmed only to lose it by a tumble. An other handicap was their short punts. Stevens long punts kept the ball in Marion territory most of the time while Marions punts did not give them a breathing space before the ball was back on their goal line and they were forced to fight with their backs to the wall.
 BrlndIey and Toby Stubbs was one of the high lights of the Bulldog game Goose Williams, subbing for Yarbrough at end, played Jam-up game. intercepting one of Marion's passes.
