DODDRIDGE COUNTY BOY CAPTAIN OF MARSHALL FOOTBALL
     Hugh Davisson has been elected captain of the Marshall College Football
team.  He is now in a Huntington hospital with his back in a plaster cast from
injuries sustained in a football game three weeks ago.  He is a son of E. H.
Davisson, of Harlin, and is one of the best in Marshall College, in baseball as
well as football.

Local news item, "West Union Record," Thursday, Dec 28 1916, in its
entirety:
"Misses Hattie and Mary Davisson, of Harlin, spent Wednesday night in West
Union.  The former is teaching in Harrison County.  She and her sister, Miss
May, were at Huntington the fore part of last week to see their brother, Hugh,
the football player, who is still in a hospital with a badly injured back, the
result of an injury in a game aggravating injuries inflicted by a horse in
boyhood.  His conditin is serious, having innumerable convulsions, but the
doctors think he will recover."
