The result of the game surprised no one, since it has been known for several weeks that those two teams were to be the top two in the County League, and they were about as evenly-matched astwo teams could be. Fx-iday's game at Chesapeake' was a case of the Hornets striking hard ln the early minutes of the game and staying ahead until i 40-yard pass tied the fray in the last minute. The Panthers were forced to stage an uphill battle all the way, but they came through gloriously and gave their sad- dened fans something to sceram about ln the latter stages of the game. The tle leaves the top rungs of the County League very much as they were before the game was played. The Hornets still lead with three wlns and their tie. which Chesapeake remains ln second place with two wins and the tle. It was lim Sllltleton. red-hot candldate for All-County hon- ors. who provided the Hornets with their -early spark. Early ln the very first quarter, Coal Grove took the klokoff and trav- eled stralght down the fleld for a touchdown. The alx-pointer was scored hy .llm Singleton whoqplunlcd over from the three yard line.

This time Singleton's placeklck was good. givin! the Hornets a 18-0 lead at t.he close of the first' period. In the second quarter, Carroll Keefer grabbed the ball. shot around left end and raced 60 yards for Chesapeake's first touch- down. Danny Russell's pass in- tended for John Hutchinson failed ln the conversion attempt. Coal Grove made it three TD's to one early ln the third quarter when Oscar Malone cllmaxed an 80-yard drive by pounding over from the eight yard llne. Single- ton agaln kicked the extra point and the Hornets led 20-8. Later ln the third quarter, after helns pushed- around for almost three perlodx Chesapeake started dolng something about the score lllinst themr After takin! the Hornet kickoff, Chea- apeake drove down the field and made all thelr efforts worth- whlle with a touchdown pan which went from Rumell to I-'nllbaek Roger Hungate.

Chesapeake was forced to give out with every ounce of strength they could muster ln the last quarterto get back in the game. Holding the Homets away from their goal llne all the while. Ches- apeake flnally got their chance with only one inlnute to play. ' With the ball on the 'Hornet 40, Russell uncorked a heautlful pass to Nichols who snared t.he plll and raced that distance for the touchdown which made the score 20-19 in favor of Coal Grove. With everything dependlng on the powerful legs of Hungate. the Panther fullback, hulled into the line and added the tylilhi point.
