Yellow Jackets and Tigers VIII Clash
on Boulevard Gridiron In Game
Promising Large Interest.

While the Spiders and Generals are
tearing at each other this afternoon
at Lexington there will be a merry
fracas right here In Richmond. And
what is more the enga cement SEIZED
uied for Boulevard Park Is one OF
much local interest. The Yellow
Jackets from Ashland, will take the
defensive against the Tigers of Prince
Edward. Although the yellow Jack
cts have undisputed claim on last
place in the championship race they
expect to make Hampden-S Sidney take
the game only after the hardest kind
of fight II they are to win 1t at all.
Military drill at Randolph Macon has
tnterfered seriously with the workouts
or Yellow Jackets. An extra long and
nard scrtmmage was held this week,
out the work has been impaired. II
~ expected that Davis will be in at
ruilback when the whistle blows He
was unable TO be in the tussle with
the Red and Blue iase Saturday be-
cause of a sprained ankle. 1t Is pos
sible that Smoot may be called upon
TO start and Davis be held In reserve.
Should Hanpden- Sidney win today
1t will have tightened its hold on first
place. 1t will then be up to the
Spiders to win next Saturday or con-
eede the much coveted banner to the
Tigers.

they are usually at the top OF thar
form and put up a contest that az
tends their opponents to the utmost.

should be plenty OF blood-stirring ac-
