the Amateur Athletic union and the

Palmer Z. Pierce of West Point is hope
ful of enlisting all but two of tie big

RICHMOND COLLEGE
HAS HARDEST TASK
Local Eleven Has Two Strenuous
Games to Play in Three
Games.

The game OF football between tho
elevens of Richmond College ond Ran
dolph. Macon, which was postponed last
Saturday because the grounds Were
utterly unfit, will be played here next
Saturday, and will be the last of the
season. Both elevens are working
hard, but Richmond College has q
heavy handicap In h0YlnE two strenu-
Gus games to play In three days,
whereas Randolph Macon has but to
prepare for the final game OF the sea-
son Saturday. after q two-weeks rest.
The Ashlanders are working earnestly
to shape up their team so as to break
up the forward pass plays and stop
the end runs and line plays CT Rich
mond College, and likewise to develop
some puZzling formations and clever
Iuses to advance the ball themselves.
The men bruised up In the recent Will
liam and Mary game Will have recov-
cred by Saturday, and 1t is expected
that quarterback Will have been de-
veloped who is sure in handling punts
and clever IN running them back.
Richmond College Is busily practice
ing drop kicking and punting and new
formations for its two hard games.
Atkins is unusually clever at dropping
field goals. ana Is likely to prove q
rival of Feuerstine in scoring by this
means. He is also long and reliable
punter, and this will prove factor
in the game. Richmond College will
make strong showing
against william and Mary, and the
indications are thatthe unbeaten Will
liamsburgers will have their colors
lowered at Newport News Thursday.
