ball eleven will leave Main Street sta
ton this morning at 500 o'clock for

battle with the rapid-going Hampton
High school aggregation.
Nfaury high whipped the Chatham
bunch by a score of 20-6. and John
Marshall held Maury TO a 90 score
last Saturday. Judging by compare
tive scores the locals should return
with another scalp hanging to their
belt.
The Eighth-Streete win enter the
conflict this afternoon determined to
bring home the bacon and add an
other victory TO their list. If all re-
ports be correct. however, Hampton
has an eleven they can well be proud
OF, and the wearers of the Red and
White are confident of annexing to-
days contest. Thus, with boths teams
on edge for the battle a hard-fought
game will be the outcome.
Coach Simr son expressed himself as
very well satisfied with the showing
of the team in Wednesdays game
with the Academy. He has been put
ting the public school lads through
their PAGES since that game and says
the team Is in fine condition and fully
capable of defeating Hampton.

ROANOKE EXPECTS
To DEFEAT Y. N. |.

SALEM VA, Nov. 21.--Not since 1906
has Roanoke college felt so confident
of victory over V. M. l. as she feels
over the approaching contest with the
cadets in Lexington Saturday. In that
year v. NJ. /. barely nosed out q vic
tory by a score of to s, and had not
touchdown In the last five minutes
of play been ruled Illegal because of
an off side play. the Collegians would
have won. II to 9.
For the past four years, Roanoke has
gone to Lexington expecting defeat
and hoping for nothing better than 10
hold the Cadets to a small score. At
last, however, the Collegians has de-
velopes a fast and hard nghting eleven
that will meet V. NJ. l. with a determi-
nation to battle to the bitter end for
victory.
Roanoke recognizes that she will
have TO contend with one of the pre-
mier teams OF the South and that the
recent victories over A. & NJ, Missis-
sippi, and St Johns give the Cadets
sense Of security and confidence.
However, from the diminutive Bunting
AT center weighing only 12S. to the
hard plunging and husky Bonham AZ
fuiihack, with his $50 avoirdupois,
there isn't man on the doughty Col
legians eleven but has the punch
that makes for heroes on the grid
iron.
In Bunting at quarter. Anspach at
left half, and Bonham at fullback
Roanoke believes she has q trio that
will match anything In the Cadets
backfeld. The work Of Hartman AT
right end has proved little short of
sensational throughout ahe season
Roanoke readily comedies a superior
tine TO v NJ. l. with such stars as
that she has her principal and only

GAME HERE TODAY
SHOULD Be CLASSY
BOTH HIS. AND RIM. PRTMED
FOR SETTO WHICH WILL CON.
sIDERABLY AFFECT RACE.

RichmonG's football game today
should. Judging from the past per-
formarces, be one of the hardest
fought of the present season for both
the Yellow Jackets and the Presby-
terians, who get together at the ball
park at $40 o'clock, are in excellent
shape, and the result Of this game will
have considerable to do with the uiti-
mate result in the Eastern inteTcol-
legiate race.
Most of the followers of the game
are confident that the Ashland team
will win. but this is far from a cer-
tainty, as the Hampden-Si Sidney aagre-
cation has been playing strong game
of late and will put up the fight Of its
life to land second place in the stand
ing. Should they defeat their OPP
ponents today they will practically
have clnched, for the Spiders, the
championship whether the Dobson
team wins or loses. But should they
lose tho Lemon and Black eleven will
stand & chance for the leadership and
would tie for first place should the
Williamsburgers win from the local
team.
Coaches of each team as well a.
the captains declare that while they
expect to win they look for hard
fight and both have considerable re-
spect Tor the abilities Of the other.
Both Bernfer and Reiss stated last
night that their men were in the best
possible shape and that they would
send a team of regulars on the field.
The teams are thought to be more
evenly matched than any two other
clevens IN the league, for 1t is general
ly admitted that the Spiders, agEed
on by the ndominable fighting spirit
Of their coach, are really playing De-
yond their strength. Hampden-sid-
ney has always given Randolpn-
Macon the hardest game of their sea-
son ana 1t Is not expected that the
game today will be any exception.
