CONTEST EXPECTED BY
EXPERTS.

Richmond college meets Randolph
Macon at Broad Street Park this af-
ternoon in the annual exhibition game
between the two schools. Everything
IL ready for the game and the local
players backed by the entire student
string of defeats which has been fol-
lowing them for the past two years.
Following the plan of secrecy in
auguratei the early part of the week
Coaches Dunlap and Griffin declared
late last night that they had not de-
termined exactly what the Spider
lineup would be and that 1t was i'm
probably that they would 10 SO until

on the campus, 1t is the general
opinion that there will be but few
changes in the makeup of the line,
Those that are made will probably
be at the ends, King and Mercer
being the choices for these positions,
The most marked difference will be
in the back field. Burgers return to
college has caused a complete recast-
Ing OF the men behind the line, and 1t
is this fact that has given rise to the
speculation
He will certai nly be played at full
back. His work of the past week has
marked him az one of the best players
in that position that has been at Rich
mond college in years. He Is daring,
strong and goes through an opposing
line with a rush that sweeps every
thing before him. Beside him will
probably play Kelley and either An
carrow or Jones. There is a deal of
uncertainty as to whether the coach
Will replace Jones with Ancarrow
and keep Perkins in quarter or
whether he will retain Jones and play

and so In fact did Jones. 1t seems to
be about toss-up between the two.
with the final decision probably rest
ing on Ancarrow's ability to run the
eleven. His work last Saturday was
such as to insure his remaining on
the team in one of the backfield posi-
tons.
Ashlanfs Strength.
Little can be learned definitely con-
corning the actual strength Of the
Ashland team. Report has It that they
are unusually strong. there being a
large majority OF the letter men OF
last year again In college. They have
played several games this season and
have made excellent showings in each.
They will undoubtedly bring down a
large squad Of rooters flor the game
and their spirited roofing. as is the
case Of all OF their games, will be one
of the features.
Roofing practice has been held cv-
cry day during the past week at Rich
mond college and many new songs
and yells added to these use last year.
Last night the practice attracted a
much larger number OF students than
1t has heretofore and from the inter-
est manifested then. 1t Is to be Judged
that the Spiders will not be outclassed
in this department by any team COM
ing here this season.
The game this afternoon will be the
flrst real test OF the Richmond col
lege ability and Manager Winfree OK
poets IT. to attract large crowd. Play
win begin promptly at S:3o o'clock.
Officials had not been announced at a
late hour last night.
