A. AND NJ, WON GAME
The Richmond College Only
Scored on Drop Kick.
Football Victory for The Cadets Came With a
Score of 80 Against in an Easily
Won Gam..

Thhc football game yesterday between
the A. and NJ. team and the represen-
tatives from Richmond College, of Rich
mond. Va, was lively game, but
The Virginians were outclassed and at
no time had a chance to win.
Victory came sliding down the pole to
the Carolina cadets by score of 80 to
), and the points that were scored by
Virginia came only by desperate chance
in which good fortune aided the Vir
ginans.
The weather was cold and the wind
was-t utting. 1t was an overcoat day for
the crowd of spectators, and the pig
skin heroes only kept warm because they
tussled, and tackled, and ran and fell
over each other in the scramble for the
elusive spheroid which both sides
wanted
And there were some there too. per-
haps, who after the game felt that in
spirit they were with The Club Eel
low whose rhyme runs:
The game is done and the darkness
Falls on the vanquished team
Like balm upon their bruises
Or plaster-or cold cream
And a feeling of sadness comes Ger me,
That is almost akin to pain,
As | silently count the dollars
1 lost on that football game.
There was splendid crowd in at
tendance, great big crowd when the
weather is considered, and these We're
liberal in their applause. The A. and NJ.
colors of red and white were in the vast
Tori EN.
there were those whose ribbons upheld
and encouraged the Virginians
III appearance the A. and NJ. team
outweighed the Richmond eleven This
was evident whenever the lines crashed,
for the Virginians, went back. and when
they had the ball they had hard work to
push forward with it,
In the last half the Richmond team
made a Garrison Finish in the face
of dead odds. The score was 80 to o
against them, but by means of good for
tune on lucky kick they had gotten to
within ten yards of goal, and had the
Fall. They tried hard but were with two
downs with three yards to go when a
Kick was made 1t was blocked by the
A. and NJ. boys, but held by the visi-
tors second time this occurred, and a
third time q drop kick for goal was made
by Morgan, of the visitors and the ball
sailed straight and clean between the
goal posts. 1t was magnifcently done.
For the A. and NJ. team the greatest
work was done by Devlin in the first
half. He was withdrawn from the game
at the end of this half by consent. as
the Virginians hal no chance with him
against them. Gulley made a splendid
run around left for 20 yards and made
a touch down. Robertson had two touch
downs to his credit and Tucker did fine
work.

piece of work after two failures and in
the face of great odds
