HARD STRUGGLE EXPECTED AT
BALL PARK-BOTH TEAMS
REPORT IMPROVEMENT.

The Randolph Macon football team
will make its first appearance of the
season in Richmond this afternoon
when they meet the Richmond Light
Infantry Blues in Broad Street Park
1t $3.50 O'Clock. Each coach has an
nounced that he will send In the best
possible aggregation from his squad
and as all of the players are reported
to be In the best of shape 1t Is ex-
pected that today's battle will be one
Of the best yet played here,
The first appearance of the Yellow
Jackets is always interesting and as
they will meet a team which has al
ready played the Spiders and as the
frAcas today will give an opportunity
Tor comparing the strength of the two
collegiate teams more than usual in
terest attended the meeting.
Reports from Ashland say that the
Jackets has very bright prospects for
the present year and that they expect
to again land the championship of the
Eastern collegiate league. Several of
the old men are back and among them
Zane who has three times directed the
Asfladners to the championship. The
others in the backfield are fast and the
line is heavy. Scott and Vaughan on
the ends are unusually good for their
positions and It is expected that they
will play great part in the game
with the Blues today.
Thus far the Billy Sitterding's ag-
gregation has not been scored on. and
II Ia hoped that they will make good
showing against the coliegians. They
held the Spiders to a 90 tie. and al

hangers may get line on the rela-
tive strength of the teams by the game

ing the men hard during the past week

first class condition. Their first games
have taught them a great deal of
football and with the aid of several
veterans who are now In the lineup

COACHES ANSWER
CRITICISM MADE
BY AN ALUMhUS
MEDICAL COLLEGE OF VIRGINIA
LEADERS DENOUNCE STATE
MENTS CONCERNING TEAM.

The somewhat disparaging state
ment published yesterday and purport-
ing to nave been made by an alumnus
Of the Medical College Of Virginia has
attracted the attention of the team s
coaches and has caused them to make
statement OF their position and to
brand as false the declaration that a
coach with national reputation might
be secured for the team. They tell
of the difficulties under which the men
work, the sacrifices which they must
make from their studies to take part
in the athletic life and agree with
Booter Ball that those attending the
medical college come there to study
medicine and that football with them
is side issue.
The statement. which Is published
upon the request OF the coaches Of
the team themselves. Is as follows:

the past year. He was particularly
struck with the new Mayo bridge

several numbers gave clever exhi-

MEO|COS LEAVE
FOR GEORGETOWN
BADLY CRIPPLED
MANY OF BEST MEN OUT OF GAME.
COACHES EXPECT PLUCkH
FIGHT

The Medical College OF Virginia foot
ball team will leave on an early train
this morning for Washington, where
they meet the Georgetown aggregation
this afternoon in badly crippled con-
attion.
Because of Injuries received in the
game with the Mississippians Wednes-
day such men as Tyler Futrelle. Sey-
mour and Parker will be left at home.
Each of these men was considerably
bruised and broken up In the midweek
fracas and according TO advices from
the coaches of the Medicos last night
II may be at least week before they
viii be able to get into uniform again.
However. Walker. Schenck, Hardy
and Foster are still able to play, and
with these, several other regulars and
fairly good second string In the
game the hackers OF the team hope
for a good showing. Those making
the trip will put up a plucky fight un-
doubtedly and should hold the Blue
and Gray team to small score.
Georgetown on it's part has very
high regard for the ability of the
Richmond eleven. according to advices
received from the national capital last
night. and will start its entire first
team against them. They believe,
though that the Medicos' eleven is COM
posed OF heavy slow players and for
that reason think that their swift
backs will romp around the ends for
good distances
This admits of a difference of opin-
ion. both In fact and surmise. The
Medicos are heavy and some of them
are slow, but the majority OF the team
are about as fast as are generally seen
In this section. Their ends played a
corkins game Wednesday. and II the
Georgetown team does manage to gain
much ground around the wing-tips it
will be behind the best OF interference.
