yinced the spectators that the Ashland
team was far stronger than anticipated.
and IL was only by their superior inter
ference that Richmond came away with
n whole skin. When the teams lined mp it
was evident that the two lines were very
evenly matched. and that the Ashland team
was much lighter In their backs. They
lined up as follows;

Randolph Macon took the bah on the start
and ON the first rushed the leather ten
yards into the Richmond territory. They
followed IL up with good bucking at the
tackles and carried the ball to the thirty
yard line. where it was lost on n tumble,
and their supporters were almost dsheart-
ened. On Hchmond's first two downs they
lost ground, until BOshcr. aided by fine
interference made beautiful run and car
rled the ball far into the Randolph Macon
territory, but lost the ball. On Randolph
Macons first down they gained thirty yards
around right end by the criss-crOss trick.
and 10y clever bucking carried the ball TO
the centre. Here Richmond again secures

Winston, carry IL over the line for the first

On the V Randolph Macon gains only

some playing in midfieid. fine run by
Bosher carries the bail down tO the five
yard line, and il is speedily rushed over.
Duke kicked the goal Score, Il TO 0.
Just before time was called Duke made
remarkably fine punt. sending the ball
mond can score again the first half comes
10 an end.
In the second half Randolph-Macon makes
a decided brace and only allow the Rich
mond team one more touchdown. although
Il was only by a mistake of the umpire
that a second was averted. The game
closed with the ball ON MchmOnds nifty
yard line
The features OF the game were the fine
running OF Boscher and Fletcher. the punt
ing Of Duke and the tackling Of Duke Hall
and Turner. Hoover at guard displayed
his old characteristics and kept the opposite
Tusher pretty busy. In spite OF the ancient
luminosity that exists between the two
institutions, the game was a remarkably
gonuemanly one, and 1t is to be hoped the
students viii let "bygones be bygones'
and not give way 20 that display Of pugil
ism that n a disgrace to the noble sport
