ly Fought, AS Both Teams
Need the Game.

William and Mary and Randolph-Maco
Will play their championship game ut
Broad Street Park this afternoon at $3.50
o'clock. hhis game will be watched
with keen interest as there is much
friendly rivalry between the two col
leges.
The teams which are to battle for the
championship this afternoon are of about
equal weight and trained up to the top
notch. The Yellow Jackets are in ex-
celent physical condition, but the fol-
lowers of the Orange and White are far
from the standard as regards health.
Captain Johnson is down with fever
Walls Is hardly fit to play after his
recent, attack Of measles. and three
others Of the team are but lately recov-
cred and still IN bad condition. SO Ill
this puts the team In rather bad shape
for the coming game. But Coach Blanch-
ard has worked hard and faithfully, and
no will put good team In the field to-
day.
Only a few days before their cham
plonship game with Richmond College
four men Of their team had an attack
of measles. among whom was Meade,
their star" quarter who won the Sec
otAu game Will IbiCHllouu4 SOl-
,lege by a. goal from the field. These men
had appeared upon the field only three
days before the game. This accounts for
their slump in the second half after their
pretty team work In the first half, scor-
Ing touchdown by hard, straight foot
ball from the kick of.
4 But they will put up great game to-
day, and will struggle tnanfully with every
spark Of fire In them to wrest the hon
ors from the Yellow Jackets.
The Yellow Jacket.
On the other hand, the men from Ran
dolph-Macon promise to put up a. game
which will make their warm admirers In,
Richmond Justly proud. They have played
a number Of heavy teams and have made
fine record this year.
They played the Virginia Military In
stltute cadets to a stundstlll. Losing their
fullbnck, they played Johns Hopkins i So
pound team 20 to 8, Ran dolph- Macon.
Weighing 1862 pounds. 5s4
Johns Hopkins afterwards 28 defeated
Haverford by q score Of 20 to ~, and
Yale had won from the same team I'M ~
to 0. Us.
On November Sd Randolph Macon Col-t
slege, with Walters, Duke and Brader-
fbaugh from the back field; Davis. end, 3
and yVunder, tackle on the sick list, held
the fast Washington and Lee team to 1G
to O. which afterwards played vs. r. IL
holding the champion team of the South
to a score OF 10 to o. While the above
scores were against Randolph Macon COL
lege, stillfit leads to. the conclusion. that
the Yellow Jackets have played q hard,
consistent game all season, &$
Under the efficient training Of their
coach, Russell, the famous tackle Of
;Georgetown' s winnig team of 1902, they
arc going to be In fine condition for the
final and decisive championship games
