the issue
The battle yesterday afternoon was
one OF tho warmest encounters wa&sd
at Broad Street Park this season 1t
was "A see-saw affair untn the sixth.
when John Marshall put the deciding
counts over, John Marshall took the
lead by securing one run in the mi

the public school lads forged ahead
only to have the Academy FASTENERS
come back In the same frame and again
even this count. The Marshallites put
over two more in the sixth, and took
lead that the Academy could not
overcome.
Both teams fought hard. and, though
defeated. the Richmond Academy team
deserves muoh credit for the forrnfda bio
showing made against the Blue and

DONAHUE OR HEDCEPETH
WILL COACH INDIANS
DR. Draper Who Has Been In Charge of William and Mary
Athletics for Several Seasons Has Resigned AS Head
Coach and Both Are Being Considered

While no official action has
been taken by either the athletic
committee or the faculty at Will
liam and Mary College with ref
trcTlce to securing u football
coach for tho 1915 campaign, 1t IL
understood that Jiggs Donahne or
DIR. Harry Hedgepeth will be in
charge of The williamsburg In
dams next fall. IL Is n known fact
that both are being considered for
the position, now that DIR. Draper
has rendered his resignation IA
football coach, hut Just which one
will he selected Is purely n mat
Ter of speculation.
Both of the men have had much
experience both in playing the
fall pastime and coaching gridiron
aggregations. DIR. Hedgepeth Sc
cured his first football training In
Fayetteville, n. O., his home town,
after which nc attended the Uni
rersity of North Carolina, and for
several years was seen In the Tar
heel institutions line. He played
both tackle and guard ON the
Down Home team, and later,
when he entered the Medical Col
lego Of Virginia here. he served
this schools football eleven In the
same capacities. For the past
three seasons he has been coach
ing both baseball and football and
has met with much suCCessA
While coaching Benedictine Col
iege he turned out the only eleven
that has ever made n formidable
showing for tho Green and White
institution.
DONAHUH WAS STAR

ed az Washington and Lees for
MGR quarter back The young
Eter IS recognized as one of this
best quarters ever turned out by
tho Lexington University, he be-
ing of the Generals mainstays for
several seasons. He ID also n
catcher OF no mean ability, and
in 1914 WAC rendered a contract
by George Stallings, manager of
the Boston Braves. He warmed
the bench for tho Braves during
the last few games of tho season,
but owing 10 tho fact that he de-
sired to return to Washington
and Lee he refused to place his
cognomen to the contract.
Both OF the men under consid-
Grafton are thoroughly familiar
with the fine points OF football,
and either OF them would make
the Williamsburg College a good
coach. While DIR. Draper viii re-
main at William and Mary Col
1ege as it's physician, lie will not
devote any more of his time to
football.
From present indications the
football team that will represent
William and Mary College next
fall Will be one of the best ever
turned ont by the school. Prac-
tcany all OF last years men win

large number of other good foot
