HQNDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1845 SPORTS 6 OF THE dHS count, y Solicited Ramblers Win Over South Boston With One Point Margin; 13 To 14 Roxboro Ramblers eked out a win, 13-14, with a one point margin over a strong gridiron team from South Boston, Va. Friday on the high school athletic field. In the first few minutes of play the Ramblers ran roughshod over the Virginia boys to run up a 14 j point lead, but as the game, contin ued the South Boston team tighten ed up their defense to slow the Ramblers down and the South Bos ton team began to put into motion some of their offensive play. The tilt was hardfought through out the entire game and a crowd of 1,500 local fans and South Boston rooters swarmed up and down the field with plenty of enthusiasm. During the first few minutes of play the stage was set for the Ramb lers first touchdown. South Boston kicked to the locals with Bobby Blanks taking the kickoff to run it back 15 yards. Roxboro failed to pick up enough for a first and ten and the ball went to South Boston ell the Rambler 40. On the first play South Boston ran it back to the 30 only to fumble with a recovery by Sterling Wade. On the next play Bobbie Blanks carried the Dali over for a touchdown and the extra point was good on a pass from Norman Tapp to Bill Shot well. The next goal was made on a screen play from Blanks to Law rence Woody who carried the ball in a fine exhibition of broken run ning lor 70 yards for the score. Woody in streaking down the field was nearly overtaken by a South Boston player, but Bo Currier pull ed into sight to make a perfect block to eliminate the would be tackier. South Boston came back with a • soreen play in the second quarter to make it good for a touchdown from their own 40 yard line. Billy Johnson, tailback, carried the ball over. The try for extra point failed. South Boston came back in the sec ond period to get away a long pass good for thirty yards for a touch down and after one try for extra point had failed and the play was called back on a penalty the point was good on the next try to set the score at 13 to 14 with the Ramblers holding a one-point lead . During the remaining period of play it was a nip and tuck affaiij with both teams failing to score. Roxboro played better ball in the last half but were penalized a total of around 200 yards for off sides, holding and clipping. Holding was their greatest fault as that penalty Slone caused them a loss of 125 yards. A few penalties were called on the South Boston gridders. Officials calling the game were strictly on the up and up, but it seemed to the Roxboro rooters that on every play with a long gain for the locals the bail was recalled and a penalty was placed against the Ramblers. On one play during the last quarter a South Boston end run met with a solid wall and fumbled W'lth Tapp scooping up the ball and picking up interference streaked down the sidelines to open territory headed for the goal—but the ump non-stop mm i! uni! ii Upm - ...

That decision brought a roar of protest from the crowd as the whistle was not blown until after Tapp had ad vanced around 20 yards in what was sure to have been a score.
