Ihat terribly heavy Sewanee Attn
ie'ic Club football team from Norfolk
rescmbled meek little lamb in the
samc against the Richmond Athletic
Grub at boulevard Field. yesterday
AFTERNOON. The locals completely
routed the visiting team by the score
OF 20 to 0. scoring four touchdowns
and Bob" Brown kicking the same
number OF goals after touchdown
hcralded as powerful machine and
with an offensive that spelled disus-
yer Tor the Richmond team, with a
capital ID" it was thought that Rich
'hond might possibly manage to hold
the visitors to close score. Nor
!"ik prowess was somewhere yes
'efday afternoon. certainly It was not
at boulevard Field.
Sonceding the visiting team the adj
vantage In weight Richmond proceed
cd 10 show them that beer and Drawn
are no, the sole requisites for a ca
Fable football machine. Brains and
uash briefly sums up why the home
team Won 4 clean-cut victory over the
Inhabitants from Tidewater. The
Kichmond backs hurled themselves
through openings made by their line
men for substantial gains, skirtcd
Norfolk's ends with telling effect and
completed number OF forward
passes for variety sake.

Rod Richmond advanced the ball
within the shadow OF Norfolks goul
only TO be repulscd BY Norfo!ks stin
defense. The visitors apparently
shot their bolt" in this stanza. for
the home team ran wild In the third
quarter. scoring three touchdowns.
Lew Stringer. plunging full back
for Richmond, scored the FIRST touch
down in the opening period. Straight
football resulted in Richmond advance
Ing ball we'll into Norfoik's territory
and Stringer took II across. II was the
powerful A.cw who bore the brunt Of
the home teams attack In this Chap

Norfolk tacklers for good gains. ceas-

Richmond shot a real tornado into
the game In the closing stages Of the
| first quarter In the person Of Ollie
Deyine, who replaced Miller at half
back. Each OF Richmond'a touch
downs in the third period were due
to the magnificent work of Deyine.
First he shot 4 forward pass to
&rown. next he sent n long one to J..

Hest Tenn Victorious.
That the best te3n won Is indi-
Gated In Statistics OF the contest
which show the local team reg.siered
twenty first downs TO the four
made by Sewanee. Sewanee scored
ono first down in the first perlol on
- forward pass. failed to maze any
| In the second and third period, and
made Il rec In the fourth period. All
Of the first downs in the iinai chap
ter were due to forward passes.
Hendricks. the Sewanee left half
back. was the star for Norfolk. His
short forward passes. just over the
line OF scrimmage. baffied the Rich
mond team. Hall did most OF the
punting for the visiting team and got
his kicks of well. being about on n
par with Brown. tho Richmond
pun,er.
Mac" Cogbill. the clever little
field general from Washington and
Lee. played one OF the best games
seen on a Richmond gridiron this
year. He was In every play and d.
| rected the team with excellent judg-
ment In the third quarter he gave
a beautiful exhibition Of broken field
ruhning The dfminutive quarter
back zig-zaggcd his way through tho
entire Norfolk team and made pos
sible the third touchdown in the
third period.
John Stringer and Driver also
played we'll for the Richmond team.
Stringer has turned out to be a cork
