The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1912-11-15

would get through from behind, and
in most cases down the runner with
but little gain.
On the University College of Medi-
cine team there were three players
who deserve the lions share of praise
for the showing made by that team.
They were Justice, Tyler and Wood
house. Each deserves all the com
mendation that the students of the
school could give him. for it was to
their playing more than to anything
else that the score was held to the
minimum and a game resulted rath-
er than a rout.
Justice stands In a class to himself
when 1t comes to hard work. Not
for q moment did he let up In his play.
He carried the ball over half Of the
occasions In which gains resulted. He
was knocked out a couple of times,
but came back strong each time. He
tackled all over She field, number
of times getting the runner behind
the line OF scrimr rage. and capped his
performance with an exhibition of
punting that was of the first order.
Tyler, who played such sensa-
tionai game at center for the Spiders
last year, was up to his old tricks
during the game yesterday. and add
ed to rather than lost from his repu-
tation. He is great player, and
would make good on any of the teams
that play in this city.
Woodhouse. an old Rand olph- Ma
con man. played a remarkable game
in the line, and one that deserves
more than passing notice. He knows
football az he does his alphabet, and
II is a good player that has the better
OF him when it comes to playing the
tackle position.
Robertson, out on left end, broke
into the game at times with dandy
tackles. and received the first forward
pass of the game. making distance
of thirty yards before he was downed.
Game Opens With Rush.

the game by kicking to the new school,
defending the west goal. Plunges

held here for several downs, and then
