with The many upscts in the foot
ball dope this year comes another ia
stance that no comparisons as to the
strength Of the teams cam inteliirenty
be made before the game. The point IL
best iilustratcd by the game that WAS
played al Broad street Park on sat
urday between The Richmond College
Spiders and the iampdcn Sidney
eleven. in which the Spiders We're the
iaHorites by ~ least two touchdowns.
while the best thcY could do was 10
push one touchdown over The Tigers
goal line.
TO Offset this TOUCHDOWN the Farm
vile boys rctalatcd. and went the
Spiders one point better when Bugg
squarely booted the ball over the l~sr-
izontal. making the cOun; ! 10 for
the Tigers
That the dope was upset is putting
1t mildly. If score Of the games that
have been played in the Eastern inter-
collegiate Association this year are
borne IN mind. The Spiders admins
tered the same dose to III. Indians as
did the Presbytcrians. after which the
Yellow Jackets rolled up Il likewise

urday viii cause many rctractions Of
opinion.
Richmond College can offer no pi:.u.
sihlc excuse for the defeat. II Is true
that three or their best tucu were not
In the game and possibly this had
something 10 10 with 1t. but the team
that was on the field was 81 Spider
eleven and ii is the hard luck OF he
Spiders that they did not have men
that were capable OF looking out FOR
the duties as the regular men would
pr Ssibly have done. While this is true
and was a hard game for tho Spiders
