GREAT GAME FOR SATURDAY
Richmond Will Work Some New
Plays on Randolph-Macon
in Fast Game.

The football team of Richmond Col
lege had a long, hard practice yester.
day, In preparation for the game OF
Saturday with Randolph Macon, in this
city, Coach Dunlap carried the men
through a hard and fast signal practice,
and while they were still blowing they
were lined up against Manager Hudg-
mss strong second team. commonly
referred to as the scrubs.
The scrubs have been doing a bit OF
practicing, too, and gave the regulars
surprise party yesterday. The Sec
ond team Jumped into the game fresh.
and with rush that swept the regu-
lars off their, feet. They worked for
ward passes and end runs and sent
the regulars sGurrying down the field.
Several of the regular men We're re-
placed by substitutes and the scrubs
seized the opportunity to even up old
scores. So fast and furiously did they
play that they were able to carry the
ball over for four touchdowns In just
twenty minutes play. The scrubs were
full Of tricks and equally full OF speed.
and the combination was too much for
the wards OF Coach Dunlap.
Atkins's Grept Kicking.
One OF the features OF the practice
was the brilliant performance OF Quar-
terback Atkins. of the regulars. who
landed field goal from the forty-flve
yard line, arousing the enthusiasm OF
the spectators.
Atkins's work at quarter has been eX-
ceptionally clever. his only weakness
being in running back punts. He Is
sure In handling them, but too slow In
getting away with the run. He is be-.
ing coached to greater speed. and inter-
ference is being perfected to aid him
in running back punts.
Tillman was shifted to right end, and
plays the position WELL while String
fellow, shifted from guard to centre, is
holding well in that position. and will
make an acceptable man. His place at
guard is being filled by Howard with
the other Stringfellow as alternative.
It Is believed that the shifts will
strengthen the weaknesses developed
in the a. and NJ. game.
Little Is heard from Randolph Macon.
where hard practice is being had for
Saturdays game. The contest will be-
pected that twenty-five minute halves
will be played. The Yolley Jackets are
not discouraged by their defeat by Will
liam and Mary, but are working all the
harder to strengthen weak points, and
arc confident of giving the Spiders a
fight for every foot. They will en-
deavor to break UP Richmond's forward
pass plays, and will have n few tricks
of their own.
Richmond College is being coached in
some new formations and trick plays,
and promises to show the spectators
some new wrinkles. evolved by Coach
Dunlap. the cleverest man in the South.
The precise nature of the plays is, of
course, a secret.

any difference in the apparent strength
of the two elevens will be neutralized
