Both clubs have been playing In
remarkable form this season, and it
is a toss up as to which viii win out.
The Collegians have played eighteen
games and have lost only two of
them. They are conceded To be the
strongest amateur team in Richmond,
having met all OF the other teams and
defeated them. The Collegians' team
Is made UP OF ex-college stars, and
