motor is forced to do fits work under
abnormal conditions. Many efffcteAEa

Academy Reports
Successful Year
for 1912 Eleven

The faculty and students OF Rich
mond academy are very well pleased
with the football season. which closed
with the McGuire's game. November
22d. From the standpoint OF the
scores the season was faiiure, but
when the weight and age OF the OPP
posing teams are considered each
game played was a success.
The wearers OF the Orange and
Blue were greatly outweighed by
every team they met but in many
instances the spectators would not
have known this tact by the playing
of the academy boys, as they repeat
eddy held their heavier opponents on
downs and often carried the ball far
within the danger line of their op-
ponent's goal.
AT the beginning Of the season 1t
was evident that the academy team
would not have ghost OF show
In the Richmond City Preparatory
league, yet not a member OF the team
lost interest in the games, but trained
tust as hard as III there was a chance
for his team to win the champion
ship.
Coach Harry Griffin worked won
ders with the squad Of boys who met
him on the first day Of practice.
Many OF the applicants had never
played football before. yet at the end
OF the season these inexperienced boys
handled the pigskin like veterans and
helped to execute some plays that
greatly surprised their more ex-
perienced opponents. Eight letter men
will return next year and the acad-
envy expects 10 put out q winning
team.
At recent meeting of the Ath-
lettc association Malcolm Pitt was
elected captain. and the following
men were awarded letters: whitlock,
Carter. Miller. A.. Roden, D.. Parrish.
Davis, Malone, Wicker, Owens,
