VIRGINIA TO MEET CADETS

The teams of Richmond College and
Randrrpn- ,mac con, old rivals on the grid
iron will meet for the first time this
season on the Broad Street field Sat
urd:.y afternoon in what promises tc
be q Enthusiastically stubborn anc
har6fought battle. Little is known OF
the relative strength of the two elev-
ems, save what is shown by coinpara-
tive scores, and they are not always
reliable. This is especially true when
the rivalry between the two colleges
in athletics is considered. Like Yale
and Harvard, they always make their
most powerful showing against each
other.
On the fo:m shown thus far this sea
son Richmond College is stronger by
at least twelve points. but this diff
ference will be neutralized by the anx.
iety of the two teams to make their
strongest showing. The Agriculture.
and Mechanical College eleven, Of
North Carolina, defeated Randolph :
Macon 20 to 0, and barely nosed oul
Richmond College by Z to last Sat.
urGay.
On the same day William and
-.-ary defeated Randolph Macon by
landing field goal. the only score
OF stubborn contest. Little is known
of the strength of the WILLIAMSBURG
eleven. but their triumph over the
yellow Jackets was bitter dose for
Randolph-Macon men. 1t must be re.
called that Randolph Macon was q
very crude and uncoached team when
defeated by a. and NJ. and were on
hostt-e territory whereas Richmond
prayed the eleven under more favor
able conditions. Altogether, the pros.
pect seems to favor Richmond Coll
ieSe by at least ten points. and the
score may run to twenty.
The Richmond College eleven has
been worked hard all the week and
VIII be thoroughly drilled in ant1cl.
patton OF this Saturday game. Goa eli,
Duhlap is trying to strengthen right
eho and one or two other Weaknesses
on the team. and will probably make
some changes in the line Saturday.

clpated Their defeat last Saturday
may. prove valuable in enabling them

points. they have an excellent punter
anu some clever backs. and will GER
AMY give the local collegians a
hustle for the honors. :
