certain football game in wltlrb his'
team beat the Second Kicbiiiond Col-i

I.end an open car to us for a while ?
and we will convince you that Iilair
Hercules is well worth the knowing.
He wus about the brightest star in a
constellation of John .Marshall perform
ers yesterday afternoon, doing much
to win the gaine for the Blue and
White and accomplishing still more
during tho last few minutes of plav,
when he saved the team from a cer
tain defeat.
I ho constellation that surrounded
HUlr Ilorcules yesterday was composed
of I'ugan, Thompson, ted Smith and
Anderson. Dugan could be dubbed
Mars; Thompson, Saturn, and Ed Smith
might bo Jupiter, while Anderson
would remain Just a meteor. But list
to the present warbler, he Is some
meteor, and tho entire high school
eleven la something resembling the
Milky Way when It comes to shining
football performances.
Meteors generally attract more at
tention than do those fixed bright
lights, even though the latter kind of
stars shine more constantly. So It was
yesterday. Meteor Anderson was placed '
out there on right end by Coach Bur- j
runs, supposedly to be of service. It j
was a case of suvpositlon for some !
time after the game began. Then he
succeeded in getting a tackle or two !
and also in missing several forward
passes hurled his way by Northern or
Thorn pson.
And while all this was going on,
Second College was pushing the fight
ing High School eleven steadily down
the field and was scoring a touchdown.
They retained their advantage until
the latter part of the third quarter. ,
Meteor Andrmon Klimlir* Into Vletr.
It was then that this meteor. A niter- i
son, began to be noticed. Bight after
High School had received the kick
off In the second half, Thompson shot
Anderson a forward pass far out on j
right end, and the meteor Hashed over i
? he field for a touchdown. Hut the ;
play had been worked before Itefcroe j
Word h;!d had time to prevent It, and
to re/pure tho ball being kicked off
again. so it was called off.
During the last few minutes of tho
game Anderson rose out on the right
side line again and once more speared
a forward pass from on high. This
time several teammates were near him,1
and. while one of them sent a college
n:.ti< sprawling, Anderson dumped an- j
other and set out across the field in 1
?1 < general direction of the goal. Mars j
Imgan hurled the bulk of his 135;
P< inds into some careless college man I

score for High School and successfully j
t-'Mi'-b hitig the band of Spider rooters I
\* lo> had followed the second team in 1
| the absence of the varsity. Hlair Her
! cules Northern, gentlemen, kicked the !
coal and scored the point which
brought the game John-Marshallward. '
That Is how high school came from
behind yesterday afternoon and main
tained the winning streak they began i
on September 30, when they won from :
Petersburg High School, r.l to 0. Hut!
the above does not tell all of the fight
they had in annexing the contest. That ;
cro^Nd of rookies Coach Harnett
brought down from Spldervllle was a !
husky aggregation and quite unc.x- j
peetedly demonstrated they knew
something about the game, as well as J
the fact that they were well organist- i
ed. In addition, they had several men
on the squad who played first-class
foot ball.

Young Simpson, at quarter back,
proved to he the backbone of tho
eleven, and his work throughout tho
game yesterday was of the highest or
der. Tho brunt of the attack fell to
hid lot, while a good share of tho
defensive work also came his way. His
ability to carry the ball was proved
olearly and ho managed to get away
several times for excellent runs.
On one of these, during the last
quarter,! Simpson menaced the high
school goal and threatened for a few
seconds to wipe from notice the Mar
shallites' accomplishment in taking tho
lead. Had it not been for Blair Her
cules Northern he would have been
successful. The college was sending
plunge after plunge Into the high
school line and several times had man
aged to gel small gains. Haile bad

great dive behind the line of scrim
mage.
Simpson then essayed a lungo
through left tackle, and there ho
found an opening. lie was through
the secondary line of defense in a

tween hi in and goal. The less said
about the form displayed by Blair
Hercules in this tackle the better. But
lie got his man, and that was the big
thing.

ASHLAND. VA.. October 7.? In a 1
verj close and exciting contest, tho j
Velb?w Jackets ami the team from the ]
I'niou Theological Seminary battled to
I n-to-0 tie here this afternoon. The!
trams were evenly matched, but. if
anything, the Asldanders had the edge
"ii their opponent#. The game was re
markable in the fact that a great many
forward passes were attempted, though
not many were successful.
In the lirst half, the Seminary kicked
tiff, and Randolph-Macon made lirst
down. She was then forced to kick,
ami the I Tosby terians advanced the
ball to her twenty-yard line on a suc
cessful end run and a forward pass.
The line held, however, and when the
Seminary attempted another forward
pass, Creokninr intercepted it. The
ball was taken back to the center of
the Held, where it remained for the
rest of the half. Neither side seemed
to have the ndvs?ntage until the last
few minutes of this period, when, but
for the sturdy defense of the Randolph
Macon line, a touchdown would have
been made ncainsl them
In the second half, the Jackets
kicked off, and recovered the ball when
the Theologs failed to make tirst down, j
Uandolph then made ten yards
through the line, and immediately af
ter skirted the left end for a twenty- 1
live-yard uain. crossing the line, j
However, tlurinu his run one foot !
touched the side line and the touch- 1
down couldn't be counted. After this;
neither goal was in nn> immediate
danger.

They were apparently beaten, brok
en and in ,disorderly retreat.
People were walking out of (ho
stands, making derisive comments on
| the showfng of the Rrooklyn club, ft
was a joke ouHit. they said, and tho
1 Red Sox would take the championship
of the baseball world in four games.
Then it was thai the Dodgers turned
and began lighting. Stolidly, phlegmat
icall.v. they fought, moving up run by
run on the dashing champions of tho
American League, until they routed
Shore, the great right-hander of the
Sox, and needed out the slightest break
in baseball nine to put them in
front.

There were U3,00t? people ill tho
stands when the'game began, less than
was expected. Probably a third of
that number left, disgusted, after tho
seventh inning, when they saw tho
Dodger defense crumple.
Krrors. errors, errors; errors by Out
shaw, by Olson and by Stengel; errors
of the hand and occasionally of tho
head, those were the reasons why every
one thought the cause Of Rrooklyn was
wholly hopeless.
Rube Marquard. the former liiaut,
had pitched well against the Sox. He
had pitched carefully, and with good
judgment, but his support was too
rickety.
The old fault of the Dodgers that
? was characteristic of them through
re Captain i ihe National League drive was marked
'kninr. for ? jt) them to-day. The men seemed to
be fearful they were going to lose,
instead of cmilidcnt that they would
win. which was tii? attitude of the
Red Sox.
In the vermicular of the world ot
sport, the Dodgers lacked the punch.
Shore was none, too effective against
them at any time. He went completely
to pieces in the ninth, when tho
Dodgers were making their stolid rush.
lOven then Robinson's men had no wal
lop. ime hit by Chief Meyers, the In-*
ilia ti, once one of the greatest slug
gers of his era, or by Kred Merkle,
acting as a pinch hitter, or. Anally by
Jake Daubert. captain of the Dodgers,
would have put the Brooklyn club on
the road to victory.
Merkle got a base on hulls from
Shore'at a time when the bases were
tilled, forcing in a run for the Dodgers,
and thai tinished the lank Carolina lad.

much of the credit for stopping the
