For Raleigh Champions combined offensive and defensive work ranks as one of the biggest features and another Raleigh player <(brho did more perhaps than any other Individual to bring victory waa Smith, left and. His work of blocking the spfeedy Weston on his . ? end runs met with perfect success In \ ~ each play and 1n thr last quarter his ' work wss climaxed by receiving s forward pass that netted 60 yards V and a touchdown. Of course Johnson's generalship and the work of the forwards aggressiveness contrlb , v! uted largely to the success. The line hold like a stone wall when Washington threatened to make first down and the easterners succeeded only a few times to make the required distance. Moore, left" end, was the prominent outstanding star for Wsshlng . ton and u run around his end would result In but little gain. He was mixed up In every play and on punts was always ready to cut off the Raleigh receiver. Tayloe, a brother of Carolina's husky back, at full back, did the best work of t.;e tackfield In carrying the ball. Weston, recognised as the fastest back field player among high , school teams, I Was able to get away for any consld-' arable time only onoe.

A few mlnutea after the kick-off following this play enc" runB by Johnson and^Champlon aided by several line plungea gave Johnson a chance to go through center for another touchdown, but Bowen failed tc kick goal. There 'as no more scoring until near the close of the game. Washington advanced the ball well Into Raleigh's territory when tho forwards wavered ani Tayloe was on the verge of kicking a goal when Weathers and Whitaker, two Raleigh forwards, broke through ok of the- Washington line and Crinkley scooping it from the ground started in haste for the goal, and blocked the kick. The ball rolled hack of the Washington line and Crinkley scooping it started In haste r the goal. He waa downed by the speedy Weston.

The Washington highs have s creditable team and with more thorough training and coaching the eleven will make any prep team fight to win vtctory. The work in the game Saturday plainly showed the lpck of training, but the material tor a championship team Is certainly among the Washington players. The Weston brother# and Tayloe composing the hack field are three of the beat high school back field players seen this year, bat the team work and interference were absent. The championship contests Saturday wars inaugurated by the Carolina athletic authorities with a view of stimulating better football interest among the high schools in the state. The expense of having the high school athletic contests at also the annual debate at Chapel Hill will amount to about )1,000. The silver loving cup is given to the champions. The Washington team returned last night on the late Norfolk Southera train and the boys say that they had the trip of their lives, the only thing marring their pleasure was tho loss of tfce game.
