Ocean City Team Loses To LO-
Gals Also In Contest With
Field Ball Girls
MERRILL AND ALLEN
SHOW GREAT FORM

Pocomoke was again victorious last
Friday, November Is. Both the boys
and the girls defeated Ocean City on
their grounds. The day was exceed
ingly cold and due to this the girls
game was stopped at the second quar-
ter by the suggestion of the Ocean
City authorities. The score was then
eight to nothing and they felt that
it was useless to carry the game on
further. The boys, however, played
out both halves and defeated the
Ocean City boys nine to two. The
one and only goal made for Ocean City
was kicked by Jack Jones. The game
had no sooner started than he made
the score.
At that time it surely looked bad
for Pocomoke, but somehow the Ocean
City Soccer Team couldn't keep up
the pace. Paul Merrill showed out
standing ability playing through the
entire game. He and Norman Allen
ran a close race, both scoring four
points. Paul Merrill kicked goal in
the first half and another in the Sec
ond half, and Norman Allen made
both of his in the first half. Jessie
Matthews scored the remaining point
in the first half making the score
nine to two.

lows: Earl Wilson, Goal; Earl Slant,

The game was refereed by Henry
Kaple and the linesmen were Edward
Evans and Ralph Floyd. Twenty
five minute halves were played.
In what short time the girls had to
play they really ran up the score.
At the end of the second quarter the
score was eight to nothing in POGO
hnoke's favor. Further scoring was
made impossible due to the game be-
ing called at this point. The day
was really too cold to play and sug-
gestion for the game ending at the
second quarter was welcomed by both
sides. Laura Wilkins was the out
standing player of the game, scoring
four out Of the eight points made for
Pocomoke. Francis Small, Pocomoke's
right wing, made two points in the
second quarter and Helen Sturgis, left
wing, made two points in the first
quarter.
The girls working in the back field
deserve much credit for they really
showed some outstanding playing and
are responsible to large extent for
the outcome of the game. But due
to weather conditions both teams did
much more than was really expected
of them. They are both to be con-
graduated on their fine spirit and
outstanding playing. The Pocomoke
girls are headed toward champion
ship this year. The season is COM
in rapidly to close and the next few
days will tell the tale.
