T H E O R A C L E toe saved the day for Salem on several occasions. It was hard to pick any individual stars. With Copenhaver and Chelf on the Hanks it was almost impossible to gain around end, and with Red Vest in the center handing out pep pills the whole line presented a stubborn wall of resistance that Roanoke found hard to penetrate. l-laislip, Sherertz and Wilbourne in the backfield gave the boys from the Magic City plenty of worry. Neither team scored until the last few minutes of play when Roanoke pushed one touchdown across but failed to kick goal and the game ended 6 to 0 in Roanoke's favor. The following week the team played in Danville. There, in the first few minutes of play, Danville secured the ball on a fumble and scored a touchdown. ln the try for points Salem was called off side and the point went to Danville. Although Salem outplayed them in every stage of the game, making more first downs and working passes almost at will, the boys were unable to put the necessary punch across after they had worked the ball up the field to within scoring distance and several times lost the ball on the four or live-yard line. Salem's only score was the result of a long pass completed by Crit Chelf and followed by an end run by Wilburne. We missed the extra point and the game ended Danville 7, Salem 6. The game with the V. P. I. Freshmen was hard fought throughout and though every man did his best, the big difference in size and the number of Poly reserves was too much for our boys and we lost. Shropshire's tackling was the feature for Salem, the score being 66 to 0. In the last game of the season, we defeated Christiansburg 47 to 6. Taking into consideration the fact that most of our men were new at the game and lacked experience and most of the schools we played were much larger than ours, we can easily say that the old team made a very creditable showing for the 1922 season A -L. E. KIBLER, Coach. C751
