WON BT THE RICH MOHNS.
The College Boys Completely ^Downed the
Institute Kleyen Yesterday.
The football game yesterday after?
noon between the Alleghany Institute
eleven and the Richmond College team
was witnessed by a large orowd, includ?
ing a goodly sprinkling of ladies. It
was an ideal day as far as the audience
was concerned, but was a little too
warm for the players.
Rlohmond put up as fine a football
game as one wants to see, their team
work, interference, tackling and general
all-round work being of an exceptionally
high order. Bosher especially distin?
guished himself by his magnificent
playing. He made the three best runs
of the day, each time scoring a touch?
down. He runs low and wards his op?
ponents oil beautifully, and is undoubt?
edly the star player of the Richmond
College eleven Duke also put up a
strong game He made the only touch?
down his Bide got in the second half
after a hard run. The goal kioking of
Burnett was another pretty pieoe of
work, his kicks always being truo.
Tho game started with the pigskin in
possession of Allegheny Institute
After three downs Handy displayed
good judgment by kicking the ball Into
of touch, where Rawn fell on it. Alle?
ghany could do nothing In tho next four
downs, and it was Richmond's ball
Here Kosher took the ball and started
around the Alleghany right end and
rnado tho star run of tho day, running
forty yards and scaring the Erst touch
down.
On the line-up the students of Alle?
ghany Institute forced the ball by short
rushes up tho field to Richmond's thirty
five yard line. Here the prottiest play
of the game occurred. S. Handy took
the ball and started for the right end,
then passed the ball back to K. Handy,
who cleared the left end and secured
the first and only touchdown made by
Alleghany. It was the prettiest double
pass Been here this season. Rawn
i missed an easy goal on it. The Rich?
mond boys secured two more touch?
downs during the first halt by their
good team work and Bosher's brilliant
running. Time was called for the first
half with the ball In the middle of the
field.
After a rest of ten minutes the teams
lined up again with tho ball in Rich?
mond's possession. They gained seven
yards on a flying wedge The playing
from thla time on was very hard on both
sides, Richmond finally securing their
fourth touch down on a long run by
Duke, Burnett kicking goal for the
fourth time, making the score 24 to 4.
After this tbe youngsters from the
Institute took a decided brace, and
played a much better defensive game
than they had been putting up pre?
viously, but try as they might,
they could not secure another touch?
down. Time was called with the ball
on the Institute's forty yard line.
For the Institute the playing of the
two Handys was by far tho best, al?
though much credit is due Woodrum,
Browning, Rawn and Lamb for thoir
good all round work. Outside of
Bosher it is hard to tell who put up the
best game for the Richmond boys Bach
and every man played a good game, and
it Is bard to tell who played the best.
The teams lined up as follows.
