.MAURY OUTFIT PR|MED
FOR RICHMOND ELEVEN
mond This Morning for Game
With Commodores.

Norfolk, Va. Nov. s.-The Conn
modores finished the workout this
afternoon with signal drill in prepar-
alton for the game at League Park
Saturday with the John Marshall High
eleven Of Richmond.
Maury Is in the best possible shape
for the battle. Every man. with few
exceptions. are in excellent condition
and no scrimmage was held after the
Portsmouth hattie to avoid any pos
sibility of injuries. The Commodores
will present a changed lineup to the
Richmond eleven. but 1t has not yet
been announced. They expect 1t to
prove faster and add more weight to
the attack and will no doubt be
stronger on the defense.
A very interesting thing will be
noted by the spectators when they
learn that both Coach Balm, of the
Commodores, and Coach Burruss, of
the John Marshall eleven. were " NJ.
I. players. The attack as well as play
ing of both teams should be very
nearly alike and the best team should
win.

Annex Game.

Although outweighed by the visf-
tors. Benedictine College won out over
the Ashland eleven at Broad Street
Park yesterday afternoon by q score
of to 0. Both teams put UP a
plucky fight from start to finish and
the result was in doubt until the ANAL
whistle sounded. ending the encounter.
Roster, Benedictine's star center,
brought victory to the White and
Green eleven when he recovered a
ball after 1t had been dropped by one
OF the Ashland backs. racing fifty
yards for a touchdown. Captain Fred
Hafitn kicked goal. giving the Cadets
the additional point. This bit OF
sprinting on the part OF Roster was
the feature of the contest. Although
closely pursued by several of the fleet
footed visitors, he outsped all of them
and crossed the goal line in safety.
Ashland gained considerably more
ground than Benedictine. but the
Cadets line was always impregnable
when a touchdown for the visiting
stalwarts seemed inevitable. Just be-
fore tho game ended the Ashlanders
started marching up the field, and for
a time it looked as Ii they were des-
tined to cross their opponents goal
Hne. However. the local linemen
pulled themselves together just in
time and held the visitors for downs
on the ten-yard line.
Johnnie Bauer was the most con-
sistent ground gamer for Benedictine
and on several occasions contributed
substantial gains, while he ran the
team in fine style. Freddie Hating
also gained some ground. while Keller
played an excellent game on the end.
Not only did Roster give the locals
a victory with his sprint, but he
played q good game at center.
The work of Cardwell and Quarles
in the backfield for Ashland stood out
prominently throughout the game.
