BLUES TO MEET
HAMPDEN-SIONEY
At FOOTBALL TODAY
EXPECT TO HAVE LITTLE TROU-
BILE WINNING FROM PRES
BYTERIANS.

Captain Morris Sweeney and his
aggregation of Richmond Light In
fantry Blues will journey down TO
Hampden- Sidney today for the initial
game ofthe football season. They
have been working hard for about two
weeks now and under the coaching of
Billy Sitterding have developed what
1t is thought will be one of the best
teams in the history of the battalion.
They anticipate little trouble with the
Preshyterians.
Hampden Sidney is said to have
rather a formidable line this season,
but the stories sent out from their
camp do not offer great encourage.
ment SO far as the back field is con-
cerned 1t IL expected, however, that
the team viii be fast and with the
training which they will get during
the next few weeks, when they meet
some of the strongest teams in the
State, will be able to make a credit
able showing In the intercollegiate
games. Should they fail to show zap
inferred that they are unusually weak
this year as the team has been work
ing out but a short while.
Captain Sweeney. of the Blues, last
night announced that the following
men would make the trip today:
Quaries, Bruce and Jones, right end,
Sweeney. right tackle: williams. right
guard: Jocobs. center: Kleversahl, left
guard: Walker, left tackle; Rock
or George King. left end: Gray. Nc
Rea or Perkins, quarter. Bane, full
back; McRea and Richardson, left
half and Cason, right half.
Walker. of the Medical College OF
Virginia. will make the trip with the
Blues and should prove one of the
strongest men in the line. He has
made a great reputation with the
Medicos during the past couple OF

clean bill of health in replying to a
letter written him by John Stuart

II do not believe that splitting ON
the ball by the pitcher has any more

splitting on the bait for luck when

AMERICAN DAVID
COMES To FRONT IN
OPEN GOLF MATCHES
FRANCIS OUIMET PICKS UP SIX
STROKES AND is NOW TIED
WITH LEADERS.

BROOKLINE, MASS, Sept 1s.--
David gained immortal fame and a
few paragraphs in the Bible by STAY
ing Goliath some years back on the
links" OF the Far East. Francis
Ouimet, a Boston amateur golfer, to-
day gained fame almost equal 10 the
David of old by Gripping. If not actu-
ally Staying, two Of the greatest golf
ing Goliahs In the world
What young Ouimet did at the
country club today in the play for the
national open golf championship was
to begin the day four strokes behind
Harry Vardon and two strokes behind
Edward Ray. the famous English
golfers. and catch them both at the
end of the morning round-then held
them in the afternoon so that all
three ended the day in a tie for the
title at 304 strokes.
A large crowd that assembled to
witness today's play had anything but
pleasant experiences. They tramped
around the links all day in a heavy
rainstorm and in raw atmosphere.
But when Ouimet holed the putt on
the home green which put him in a
tie with Vardon and Ray for the
cham pionship those around the home
green picked up the Bostonian and
hoisted him upon the shoulders OF
all those who could get their should
ers under any part of his anatomy
and he was given a series of cheers
which would have done credit to the
best drilled college cheering section
that ever graced a football field.
Many Changes in Standing.
