football payers of the Medical Col
lege OF Virginia of Richmond were
unable to check the onward march
of ST. Vincent's grid.ron warriors at
the Casino park yesterday afternoon
and were Overwhelmingly defeated
the final score being % to 6. Before
the battle was many minutes old Il
was apparent to the few hundred
spectators gathered on the side lines
that the visitors were no match for
the locals and the only question was
the size OF the score st. Vincent
would roll up in the four ten-minute
quarters.
Hancock Hamilton made his first
appearance OF the season as quarter
back for st. Vincent's and under his
mastery direction the eleven looked
like a new team. In directing the team
Hamilton played the new football
for all it was worth and many spec
tacular plays resulted The locals
had almost perfect interference all
the time and again and again the
backs turned the opposing ends Tor
long gains.
Many Forward Passes.
While much ground was gained on
the end runs, st. Vincents relied
mostly upon the forward pass for its
gains, aud Hamilton and Wilkinson
and Forest Sutton worked that play
as it never had been worked before
at the Casino park. Pass after pass
was successfully executed, either
Hamilton or Sutton hurting the ba.-
to Wilkinson. who rarely ever missed
completing the play for gain of from
ten to twenty-five yards at clip.
While their offensive play could
scarcely have been improved upon, the
locals showed the visitors a few
things about defensive work The
local line held like stone wall at all
stages and. though Hardy made oc-
casicnal gains through the line, the
Medicos never made the first down
once. The visitors tried the forward
pass only a few times and each time
it failed. once Forrest Sutton inter
cepted a pass and ran forty-fve yards
for a touchdown, Tom Allen giving
him fine interference
