By Richie c. Keller.


Gut" William and the scintillating
Maxey Robinson in the van, I'm
ion Panthers romped rough shod
over the Seminary Parsons to the
tune OF a 200 drubbing Saturday,
Oct. 9TH, in Their initial grid fra
cas- at Hovey field. Launching
whirlwind downield attack, after
holding the Parsons on the 30
yard stripe, the Maroon and Steel
Haunted over the goal posts for
the first marker of the game.
ELS Scores I, uchdown.
While ra5id fans shouted an en-
couraging Fight, Team, FighI,
Lloyd Williams, playing his first
game in Maroon and Steel grid
togs, kicked off to Armstrong, who
returned the pigskin to the 30
yaro line. Seminary, getting moth
ing from three successive plunges
at an impregnable Panther line,
kicked out of danger. Both lines
began an exhibition of holding
which kept Williams and Arm
strong in a kicking duel. Arm
strong booting out of danger,
kicked to Unions flying ace and
Maxey Robinson reeled on flee
cleats the first eight yards of a
touchdown tornado. Washington
hit off tackle for the first down,
and Robinson wrangled through
opposition for a 28-yard gain.
Williams added eight around end.
Washington carried it to the four
yard line, and "Neegi" Ellis
plunged through for Unions first
touchdown. On the second kick
off, Seminary tried Capt. Williams
end, but the Panther leader con-
verified would-be skirters. Two
ffteen-yard penalties carried Sem
mary to Unions 2S-yard line as
the quarter ended.
Launching a second quarter
aerial attack, Union, on Washing
tons pass to Williams, scared from
the 2S-yard marked to her own
4S-yard line. Robinson added four
and Washington started a scoring
rampage with a 35-yard ride.
A line buck by Williams placed
Union on Seminary's 1-yard line.
AS Williams romped over for the
touchdown, the jumps whistle
sounded a fifteen-yard penalty and
Seminary kicked from the shadow
of her goal posts to end the half.
Union Scores Two in Last Half.
Displaying a new type of charge
the Panthers kicked off to Semi
nary, and Smith, Robinson, Pet
ers, and Capt. Williams nailed Ra-
ven before he could bulge. Maxey
Robinson copied Parson pass on
their SO chalked stripe, and Wash
ington trucked for a first down.
Williams brought down the grand
stands with a reeling 24-yard run,
and Robinson plunged for the Sec
ond touchdown of the second
stanza. Williams carried the ex-
ira point.
Seminary, receiving Williams
kickoff, punted out of danger,
after Unions line stopped their
advancer in his tracks. In a Sc
ries of first downs, in which Viii
Hams, Robinson and Washington
figured, the shadow of the Maroon
and Steel lay athwart the Parson
goal post, but the Parsons fought
back the charge of the Panther
brigade and booted out of danger
to end activities in the third quar-
ter.
Union failed to complete for
ward pass in two efforts, and sur
rendered the ball to Seminary on
her own 22-yard line. Seminary
Immediately kicked to Robinson
on the 50-yard marker. Washing
ton issued a forward March"
from mid-field, with a first down.
Williams took command with six
more. Robinson halted with the
oval nesting on the Parson 9-yard
stripe. Williams hit off eight, but
failed to make the yard touch
down distance, and Seminary trier
to kick, but Bruce Williams block
ed and recovered Seminary's fun
BILE just beyond the goal to score.
Williams trucked through for the
extra point. With four minutes to
go, Seminary tried a hurry-up
charge, but the Panther line
snarled thrice to end her HOSTILE
ties. The Timers whistle found
Maxey Robinson eight yards from
the goal after an end skirt, to end
the fray with Union on the upper
end of a 200 score.
First downs-Union, Is; Semi
nary, 2. Incompieted forward
pass-Union, 2; completed, 2.
