V 116 QCUIIIS Elf Roanoke 1919 Record f W HE. season of l9l8 opened disastrously, most of the games being can- celled on account of the influenza epidemic but as the season wore on the schedule was renewed and a first-class team was turned out in spite of the fact that we had no coach and only two letter men were back. Our first game was played in Martinsville with the Martinsville High School, which proved an easy victim as shown by the one-sided score of 67 to 6. The next game was played on the home grounds with our old rival Chatham Training School, which we defeated by a score of 72 to 6. This is the largest score ever made by a High School team. The following Saturday the team, supported by a large number of local fans, journeyed to the Hilly City when they met the strong eleven of the Virginia Episcopal School. 1 The lirst half ended with the score standing O to 0, but in the second half, owing to lack of a coach to hold the team together, we were scored on several times and the game ended I9 to 0. On Saturday, December 7th, the strong Lynchburg team arrived in the Magic City with high hopes, but were easily crushed by a score of 25 to 6. This ended our schedule but owing to Blacksburg's challenge for a game, we went to Blacksburg to play for the State Championship, but after splashing around in the mud and water for an hour, the game ended, neither team having gained any satisfaction as no one had scored. This only served to heighten the rivalry between the two schools, so on New Year's Day Blacks- burg came here fully expecting to carry off the State Championship, but were sorely disappointed, returning home hanging on to the little end of a 7 to 0 score. This proved to be one of the most successful seasons in many years, having lost only one out of six games, which gave us the State Championship.
