SPIDERS Will BATTLE
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY
Washingtonians In National
Capital This Afternoon.

Filled with optimism, Coach Frank
Dobson and his Richmond College
Spiders will leave this morning for
Washington where they will battle the
Catholic University this afternoon.
The Spiders have been subjected to
some hard workouts this week at the
hands OF Coach Dobson and they have
been displaying good form.
However. the backfield Is stiIl CIV
ing the coach no little worry. Prac-
tically all OF them are inexperienced
and they will have to be developed.
Some OF the men are still slow, while
they are not hitting the line to suit
Coach Dobson.
Captain Robins. who has to attend
the law classes in the afternoon, haa
been absent from several practices this
week. but he is reported to be in good
condition for the game today. Tiny
Wicker, who Is also member of the
law school. is also handicapped and
has been unable to devote as much
time as he should to the afternoon
workouts.
Mac Pitts foot has almost entirely
healed and he will be seen In the
quarter back position against the
Washingtonians. Wicker, who has
been holding down this position will
play one OF the half backs. Pitt has
been running the team we'll and he
will doubtless be given the position
permanently. Every man who will
appear in the backfield for Richmond
College today are former Richmond
Academy students and all played on
the same team at one time.

other motives for such half shaving.

history. Sometimes the act has been

OVER McGUIRE'S ELEVEN
Cadets Win Out Over Red and Black Boys By Score Of a
to 0-Green and White Team Makes Touchdown After IS
Playing Only One Minute. s

Springing the first surprise Of $lBo
football season. Benedictine Colisgo
won out over the Mcclure University
School eleven yesterday afternoon ~
Broad Street Park by q score Of ~
to O..
Although the Mcclure line out
weighed that OF the Cadets, 1t wAss
unable to stand the rapid-fire attack
made upon 1t by the Green and White
boys and time after time 1t was
rushed back. enabling Benedictine to
make substantial gains.
Bauer paved tho way for the ca
dets' initial touchdown ono minute
after the game started. when he made
a sixty-yard run. being downed ~
Purcell on the half yard line. On
the first play the ball was carried
across the line when HAHN wormed
his way through the Red and Black
defense. The second and last touch
down came a few seconds aftsr khoi
opening Of the final period Of ~
game. In the third quarter the Bono-
dictine hoys carried tho ball moso-
than sixty yards down the neld -
line plunges and occasional end runa
When this period came to an end thu
ball was on the half yard line. and
on the first play In the closing quar-
ter Bauer carried the ball over
through the center Of the line.
Both teams fought hard and ~ Wa
predicted the contest was q hotly con.
tested affair from the initial kick-o0.
At times the Mcclure boys rallied ana
put up a wonderful tight, but At othera
the Cadets penetrated the line for
long gains, while the backs skirtod
the ends for yard after yard.
All of the Benedictine boys put IN
a good game. but the work Of Bauer
deserves special mention. Asher ana
Haflin also played well. Every mans
on the line from end to end put M
a good fight.
Tho work of Christian stood out
prominently throughout for the Me-
CURE eleven. The youngster waa
about half of the Red and Blacks
defense. Purcell aYso put up nic1
