ORANGE A. BLACK Page 3 Hastings Downs Charlotte 21-0 Battling their way through an ag- gressive Oriole eleven. Hastings rolled over Charlotte to the score of 21 to 0 ou a rain swept field. It was inability to stop Myers, hard running Saxon back, that spelled de- feat to the Orioles. Early in the first quarter. Thomas, a Hastings hack, ’nattered his way through tackle and ran 28 yards to score behind good blocking. Ayres’ kick for the extra point was good, making the score. 7 to 0. No further scoring was done until the second quarter when Myers, left half bark. sprinted 70 yards, behind beautiful downfleld blocking, to pay dirt. Ayres again made the conver- sion. thus putting the score 14 to 0. The Charlotte defense held the Sax- on's scoring until the fourth period when Myers passed to Caleman. in the end xone. for a touchdown. Ayres again made the extra point from place- ment. making the score 21 to 0. The slippery field handicapped both the Oriole and the Saxon passing attack.
