The Sawbones at Broad-Street park
The sawbones' contest at Broad
Street park yesterday afternoon re-
solved itself into a see-saw exhibition,
from which the Medical College of
Virginia emerged as victors over the
University College of Medicine by a
10 to 0 score.
When these two teams meet 1t Is ex-
peeted that a classic will result. and
the annual game yesterday was In no
way d disappointing It. 1t was a game
from the drop of the hat. and the
play did not lag for a moment. There
was much less of the rough work
which has been noticeable In some of
the past games and more real football.
There were but few penalties, and the
time was taken out only occasionally.
As has been the case for the last
several seasons, the advance dope for
the game seems to have all gone
wrong. Thre were but few In the
crowd before the game Yesterday who
were not willing to admit that the old
school would be the winners and that
all bets TO be made would have to bear
directly ON the score. And right there
is where the dope went wrong and
why many OF the old schools support
ers paid visits to the uncles last night.
The new school protested that there
would be no walkover. while the Medi-
cal College of Virginia bet that there
would be. They thought that the
score would be at least rs. In fact,
a number of bets were made that the
score would be II at the end of the
first quarter The final result fell
short OF that mark.
Both Teams Stuug.
1t Ii true that the old Medical Col
lege of Virginia demonstrated beyond
a doubt that they had the better team,
but the University College OF Medi-
cine on their part demons trated that
they also had a number of hrst-class
players in their lineup, and that the
Red and White team was one not to
be despised. In fact, during the lat
ter part of the game they seemed
to have somewhat the better Of the
argument, for the nd school was un-
able to do much with their line They
had possession 6f the ball nearly al
much of the time as did their oppo-
nents. They were unable to gain a
great deal of ground, but on several
occasions worked forward passes for
considerable distances. and once Fitz
got through the line for fifteen yards.
The Green and White team ran the
ends and worked their passes for fire.

unable to deliver the punch when well
within their opponents territory.
Forward passes played a greater
part In the game yesterday than iii
any contest seen here this season
Honors, In this department, go To bot h
teams but 1t is probable that the
old school gained more ground. This
was due not so much to the fact that
they worked them for lon ger gains
but that they attempted the play
oftener. Frequent changes OF forna-
ton kept all guessing as to what
would be the next play and double
passes resulting in forward passes
proved one of the favorite plays
There were hut four penalties in

Scheuck was undoubtedly the most
sensational player for the Green ard
White players He ran back most

away for gains around the ends. His
lacking was superb and many times
the scrapping little quarter threw the
runners for loss. Nor Is his punt
ing to be overlooked The kicks were

Justice was making, for they We're low

items of the field. Several OF them
bounded along fer some distance be-
fore they were recovered, On two
occasions he punted over the Red and
Whites gcal.
Hedgepeth at right tackle amply
lived up to his reputation. He, in
the parlance of the game. was a
Goliah on his side of the line. and
the shift Plays. with him carrying
the ball, came to be regarded as sure
of a gain even before the bali was
snapped. Hedgspeth's tackling was
good at all times, and there were but
few plays that got by without him
taking hand in them.
Jake Bodice, on the other side of
the line. was also one OF he con-
