The football game nj Broa" o'i'"' a.
YESTERDAY afternoon between the teams
from Hampden-Sidney and Richmond
College. was a splendid exhibition OF the
rough and tumble game.
In weight Richmond had a little the
hest of the visitors, but in skin the two
teams we're very nearly equal.
The first half was played fast and furi-
Gus. and Il looked TO the casual observer
as though the locals had been outclassed,
SO fierce were some Of the opposition
rushcs. while the bucking and sprinting
nv Kuykendan and Caldwell made
things look all UP for the College. The
close observer. however, could see that
the visitors were weak on the ends, and
that as soon as the College boys located
that weak point. the apparent superiority
of the visitors would disappear. Hanp-
Sidney was fortunate, however, IN
obscuring this pregnable point In their
line until the first touchdown and goal
had been made. for after that they were
unable TO raise the score although the
pigskin was carried TO within few feet
of goal In the last half.
RICHMOND COLLEGE LUCKY.

and the visitors appeared to have little
difficulty in breaking through. Richmond
was very lucky after the first touch
down in doubling and breaking through
the opposition end and making good
gains on sprints before they lost the ball.
at these opportunc times that the score
was carried 10 tie.
The secret of Richmonds success in
preventing a defeat was their consis-
tent and steady playing all through. thus
keeping their full strength with no
strains Hampden-Sidney worked harder
and, in consequence, were much weaker
In the second half than Richmond. and
every indication OF that fact was APP
parent in the work and result OF that
half when the College boys took the pig
skin away from them on the verge OF
victory and carried II back to the kick
of before time was called.
Richmond's half-backs performed splen-
did work and were much applauded. as
they deserved. II was mainly through
the efforts of Landlord and Frazier that
the local score was made and the oppo-
sition score held down, and coach Julian
Hi deserves much credit for the show
ing made by his youngsters. Both teams
are above the average collegiate teams,
and taken all in all are quite evenly
matched.

and Kuykendall put the ball out to Nc
Neill's territory. The College fullback
lost no time in gaining ground and had
the bal back almost to the kick off before
ne was downed. but on the snap Bagby
fumbled and the ball went over 10 Hamp-
den-Sidney. In the succeeding downs
very little ground was gained and the
pig-skn changed rapidly from side 10
side. with little gain either way.
At last the visitors found the weak
place in the opposition line and profited
thereby until the ten yard line was reach
cd, when the College put up splendid OPP
position. which resulted in the final cap
ture OF the ball. The visitors fought like
tigers. however. and held the collegians
In checks. capturing the ball on bad
punt by Bagby. which was successfully
blocked, and by rapid work the ball pass
ed under for a touchdown by Caldwell
and a goal by Kuykendall in thirteen
minutes.
Mcneil kicked off to Caldwell who was
downed by Pope before he made much
progress. Gains were made repeatedly by
Caldwell through the centre, and Rich
mond's line seemed demOraliZed for a
while. but at last the ball came to the
locals and Landlord bucked left end for
a gain OF eight feet. Frazier following it
up by way of the right end for seven
teen yard sprint. The tactics Of the Col
lege then seemed TO be TO work the ends,
which they did to some advantage until
the pig-skin got within a few yards of
goal when the Sdneyites put
their whole power and skill forward and
held the ground until time was called,
with the ball on the five yard line.

yards when he was downed and the ball
went over. About ten yards were gained
sn the play when a tumble by Landlord
carried the ball over TO the strangers. The
bali then sacheted from side to side with
amusing frequency because OF fumbles
and failure TO gain in downs, until Rich

height by the cheer of its friends on the
sides and In the bleacheries. carried the
pig-skin down the field and touchdown
was scored by Frazier and goal by
Bagby.
Hampden- Sidney took the kick-off,
which was captured by Powell. and in the
next down Landlord made a gain of five
yards. when the ball went over 10 the
visitors Caldwell made a beautiful buck

Cor Frazier who tackled and downcd him.
From that point Hampden-Sidney had an
easy thing with Richmond and everybody
begun to give the game TO the visitors.
But the College boys braced themselves
together and barred the way TO the goal
successfully. until the Hampden-Sidney
iads got weary. and then the College boys
