A foul-in-goal was responsible for
the defeat of Anderson at the hands
of the Quakers last night at the Col
iseum. Goals were as scarce as hem
teeth and the contest was stubbornly
fought by both teams from begin
ming to end and the thousand people
who attended the game were kept on
pins and needles until the gong rang
at the end Of the third period. The
feature of the game was the Won
derful work at goal by Centipede
Mallory whose play was one of the
best exhibitions Of goal tending ever
seen in Richmond Bone and Gun
ningham, jr., played their usual ex-
cellent game on the firing line and
with an ordinary player in goal for
Anderson they would have made at
least seven goals. Miller and Gard
ner failed to render the little goal
tender proper support and the whole
defense was left to his nimble legs
and cool head and it was no fault of
his that the Nortonites did not win.
Jessup and Doherty were impass-
able and the quality of polo they put
up can be guessed at when it is
stated that Wodtke, the Flying
Dutchman.' for the first time on
Richmond surface put up an article
of polo that his ardent admirers
claim for him and his little helpmate,
Mercer, was in the game at all
stages. Mansfield also played
brilliant game and the Heavenly
Twinrets would smash every forma-
ton known to the wearers of the red.
Mercer made the first goal in the
first period after five minutes of fast
play and six minutes later Gardner,
the husky Anderson half back, kind
ly presented the Quakers with their
first score, by stepping into NAL
lory's goal circle to aid the Cent?
pede in resisting the fierce lombard
ment of the Fighting Five's flying
squadron, which was then raging.
Referee Waller promptly called a
foul-in-goal and the eager score
keeper who sits in the Temple of
Discord. just over the west goal,
marked up score for Richmond and
the Andersonians sent up a howl,
but Mr. Waller was firm and the
score stood a tie.
The second period opened little
slower than the first period, but it
was just as stubbornly fought and as
interesting to the spectators. About
the middle of the period Bone made
Richmond S. only earned goal. The
speedy rush took the ball off of Jes-
sup's shin pads, after a beautiful
stop of one of Wodtke's hard drives.
then George started up the floor. He
passed Miller like shot from a rifle
and hurdled Gardner after that play
er had rushed madly out to stop him.
Skating like whirlwind on his new
ball-bearing skates Bone cracked the
ball from near the wainscoating and
it nestled snugly in the draperies be-
hind the Centipede. This proved to
be the last goal OF the game.
In the third period the Quakers
started off with their famous see
ond wind'' play, but Mallory was a
nut that could not be cracked. The
ball was in Anderson territory near
~ all of the period and towards the
close Doherty came up the floor to
take part in the four rush attack.
1t simply rained balls for eight
minutes, but Mallory never wilted
under the storm and so spectacular
was his work as TO bring forth APP
plause from the most rabid of
rooters. We doff our hats to you,
Mr.. Centipede.
