times by request to make room
for those standing outside.
The first such request was
made by Mr.. Stevenson. Three
quarters of an hour after the

Farmville moved out of district

POWhatan Meets
Freeman In Battle
For Second Place

Football all over the nation is
game Of ups and downs, and Dis
trict II is no exception. However.
il can be written in the scroll book
for 1896 that Orange Is strictly up
with no emphasis on down.
Orange is the District II cham
piOnship team.
Eov the important question is
who is the second place team. That
will be decided Friday night at the
city stadium in Richmond. Powha-
tan and Douglas Freeman both have
identical District II records with
six wins and one loss.
Freeman has been outstanding in
its wins and so has Powhatan. The
PoWhatan Indians have had some
trouble in coming out on top. so the
experts will probably pick Freeman
by one touchdown.
freeman OutScored Powhatan last
year 1888 as both teams unleashed
a powerful offensive. The Indians
have demonstrated a strong defen-
sive and if they can duplicate their
offensive of last year they may win
handily. Any way you look at it,
that is the game to watch in Dis
trict II Friday.
BOggs Leading
The individual scoring champion
Is another race surely to be settled
Friday. Right now il stands as a
close three way race with Johnny
Boggs of PoWhatan holding a slight
edge
3oggs has l05 points. and is close
y followed by Carson Bosner of
Thomas Dale with 1903 and Monte
Gay of Orange with l0l. Archie
Goodwin is still within striking dis
lance with 80 points.
Gay stands the best chance of
running wild this week end as
Orange plays James Monroe of
Fredericksburg and will be favored
by three or more touchdowns.
Boggs and Goodwin will deserve
any points they earn against Doug
las Freeman, and Bosher will have
tough shedding in running up his
score with Highland Springs.
Other Games
Midlothian will be host TO the
amelia Orioles Friday in what
should be an interesting game. If
can stop the pounding OF
Nelson Harris and bottle up the
passing of Doug Blankenship they
can look for another victory How
