MARSHALITE 1945 SCHEDULE Oct. 6 Marshall 6 - . . 26 Warrenton Oct. 13 Marshall 6 - at Leesburg Oct. 27 Marshall 7 -0 Aldie Nov. 3 Marshall 0 .. U25 at Manassas Nov 10 Marshall 12 . , -13 at Warrenton Nov 17 Marshall 0 - -. 13 at Aldie Nov. 24 Marshall 6 .. 21 Manassas Summary Touchdowns for the Wolves were scored by George Furr t2l, John Kirby t2l, Mandley Johnston ill, and Harry Heflin Ill. Johnny Kirby made, by plunging through the line, the only extra point of the season. The fact that the Wolves did not try kicking probably accounts for their missing five out of six chances for the extra point. One astonishing fact about the Wolves' strategy is that four out of six touchdowns were made by the use of the sleeper play. This had al- ways been an old favorite of Marshall teams. Although the 1944 record isn't tops as far as wins are concerned, the Wolves should be admired for their good sportsmanship and high spirits which they maintained in spite of some unfortunate situations.
