Hoi Battle Is Expected Saturday
» -w tHKN Lew llardage’s al!-s'..i
V/\/ football team dashes against
the Soldiers at Pome De
Leon Saturday afternoon they had
better be prepared for a tough strug
gle. Lieutenant Devore is putting
the Soldiers through a hard work-out
these days, and plans to have them in
tiptop shape when the whistle blows
Saturday starting the combat.
The Infantry line is showing much
strength, and Devore thinks with a
strong line his boys will have a good
chance to hold the all-stars. Devore
himself will be at one of the tackles,
which should prove a big help to his
players. Devore was one of t lie*
greatest tackles in history, earning a
place on Walter Camp’s all-star
American his last two years with the
Army.
'fhe Soldiers also have several play- j
ers who haverlisplayed great Individ - !
ual ability. Swartz showed last Sat- j
urday against the Eleventh Cavalry |
from Chattanooga that he < an be de
pended upon at all times when han
dling the forward pass, as he heaves
the oval with wonderful accuracy.
Time and again he threw the ball
from 25 to 35 yards against the Cav
alry for successful passes.
B INGLE, the Soldiers’ end. is one
of the most dangerous players in
the South in kicking goals from place
ment. Whenever the Soldiers have
the ball within tKeir opponents’ 40-
yard line. Bftigle can be counted on
to attempt a boot at goal. The Sol
diers are relying upon this youngster
for a couple of field goals Saturday.
The all-star line-up needs no intro
duction. Kirk Newell, Homer Cook
and Lewie Hardage will be in the
baekfleld. Ray Morrison, the former
Candy star, will he at quarter. This
baekfleld should be able to rip up any
line, and the fans should certainly
witness some dandy line-plunging
Saturday. Also Jewell was about the
best player in the South the past sea
son at circling the ends. The baek
fleld players are all in fairly good
condition, and should be able to pull
through a full game
I OPAL fan* are showing much in-
terest in the game and a good
crowd is expected at Ponce DeLeon
Saturday. The opportunity to see so
many star players on one team is a
treat football followers do not al
ways have a chance to see. Several
of the players lia\e not been seen in
action foi years, and their appear
ance on the gridiron again is bound
to bring back recollections of their
former great play s. Rob McWhorter,
Homer Cook and a couple of others
have finished their college career, and
this may be the last chance fans will
have to .-ee them in action.
