ELEVEN
BEATS SYMS-EATON
Heavy FootbaIlists of the Academy
Go Down in Defeat Before the
Sturdy coliegians.

The second college team of Old
Point Comfort, the acknowledged
fastest eleven about tidewater. met
its old time rivals for the first time
this year, 'on the college campus and
a decided, though hard-fought victory
was the result. Although weight was
a potent factor in favor of the Syms-
Eaton eleven, the %collegians made up
for the difference in weight by their
snap back and get-away-quick' style
of offense.
The fierce plunging and clever end
and tandem plays were noteworthy
features, and accounts in a great mea-
sure for the large score piled up
against the academy.
Last Wednesdays contest with the
Newport News Athletic club, although
a victory for the college boys, greatly
weakened the team as two of the
backs were injured and have not yet
recuperated. The Syms-Eaton eleven
played a good game hut were unable
to withstand the fierce advances of
their opponents, who plunged through
their defense for gains of five, ten and
fifteen yards each time. The score
in favor of the college was 81 TO O.
After the termination of this game,
the College Juniors defeated the
eleven from ST. Vincent's Academy,
Newport News. by a score of 6 to O..
None of the college teams has yet
met defeat. The eleven games played
so far have all been victories.
The first college team plays the Nor.
folk academy on next Friday at La
