TIE START.
The game started with the College
team in possession of the ball. They
were lined up in wedge shape, and were
successful in gaining their yard. The
ball was lost and rcgained several times
and then IlaZen carried 1t over the Inc
for touch down. and Duke kicked a
goal. Shortly after Harris was injured,
and Massie was put in his place:
After this each side had the ball with
varying success. The visitors did not
score in the first half Of the game.
Whenever the Washington and Lee
half backs took the ball they seemed to
lose il. They explained this By saying
that they were unused to the ground and
that the weeds tripped them up. they
being used to playing on hard, bare
ground Their rusheS through the centre
were generally successful, but whenever
they attempted TO win the LETT end
Rucker, Of the home team, tackled sue
cessfully.
80 SECOND HALF.
The second half of the game began
with the bail in the hands Of the Wash
ington and Lees. In the first rush Black
burn was hurt by bad kick on the
knee. and much applause from the
friends of the visitors followed when

GOOD FEATURES.
Among the good feature of this game
was the great work of Rucker, BOsher ana
Duke. of the College team, the first
named especially playing admirably, tack
ling SUCCESSFULLY always bringing his
man down, and his running was always
productive Of gains.
I'm the Washington and Lee team the
work of Kcster and Cooper on the end,
and Massie's successful backing, AVIS
breaking through and tackling and gem
era! work of Bullitt were the most notice
able.
The WASHINGTON and Lees rush line
was heavier than that of the Richmond
College. But the College boys balanced
the disadvantage by weights behind the
line. There was much kicking because
the umpire called the interference of the
Richmond College boys unlawful. The
Washington and Lees have played two
games this season, winning one and
losing one. They play the Wake Forest
team, at Lexington, on Saturday The
visiting team stopped at FOrds Hotel.
Some will remain in the city till tonight.
1t is a great sight. a football match,
especially 10 one who has not seen one
before. and it is hard to conceive worse
conglomeration of forms, when they rush
together for the ball, with legs kicking in
the air, rolling, tumbling and fighting.
Very dangerous sport indeed, and many
are the cuts and bruises and fractures.
