Teams Arrived Yesterday.
Headed by Coach Sol Metzger the
Washington and Jefferson aggrega-
ton arrived in Richrnond early yes
terday afternoon. A, o'clock the
Red and Black gridironists went out
to Broad Street Park and engaged In
q light signal drill. Last night Coach
Metzger reported his men to be In
the pink OF condition and they are
eagerly awaiting the starting hour.
The Generals did not arrive until
late yesterday and they Immediately
proceeded to the West End pastifning
grounds for brief workout. Owing
to their late arrival they were unable
TO get into their football toys and ran
through the signals in their civilian
clothes. Coach Elcock expressed him.
self as being very well pleased over
the manner in which the boys went
through the drill.
While neither Coach logger" Ell
cock nor Coach Sol Metzger were
making any predictions last night
both OF them seemed to be boil
ing over with optimism. Both Of
them asserted that they are antici-
pating n hard. close game, and each
Is expecting his respective charges TO
emerge victorious by a scant margin.
With both elevens about as evenly
matched as two elevens could pos
sibiy be, few are attempting TO PICK
a winner. Owing to tho fact that
this is the first appearance of the
Pennsylvania aggregation In Rich
mond and their real strength Is I'M
known TO the local sport-loving
populace. the game has all OF the
..dopesters'i guessing. Howeser.. all
expect It to be one OF the hardest
fought games staged At Broad Street
Park this season.

with everything taken into consid-
Grafton the Generals have mighty
good chance Of gaining a verdict over
their opponents from Pennsylvania.
despite the fact that the .Eortherners
have made an enviable reputation on
tho gridiron during the past few
years.
The washingtonians are noted for
their forward passes and are said to
have used something like sixty
against Yale In their recent game.
However, Head Coach Elcock has
been working hard all this week
teaching his proteges how to meet
