A. R. C. Skids to 14 to 0 Victory on Wet Field
Musketeers Defeat
Statesboro Eleven
to Begin Schedule
BY WILL RILEY.
Coach Carson's Musketeers skid
ded over a wet field to an easy
victory over the Statesboro Aggies
Saturday afternoon at Warren
Park, the score at the final whistle
showing 14 to 0, with the edge to
Richmond.
While it was clearly evident from
the first that the Academy boys
had their opponents outclassed,
there was no time during the first
quarter when the game could have
been considered sewed up. Rich*
mond scored their first points in the
first two minutes of play, when
Statesboro’s team had their backs
to the wall up against their own
goal line, the ball in their posses
sion. Signalling for a punt. Woods
prepared for a punt, but the cen
ter’s pass went wild and Richmond
scored a safety.
Six more points fell to the Mus
keteers in the third quarter, when
after a series of desperate line
plunges, several costly fumbles by
Statesboro and the recovery of a
blocked punt by Richmond on
Statesboro's 20-yard line. On
Statesboro’s 2-yard line, Stelling
attempted to carry the ball over, but
fumbled while running under the
bar. However, Powell, Richmond's
flashy right half, was on the ball
in an instant for the first touch
down of the game.
The game rocked along in see
saw fashion, with a very slight
shade in favor of the soldier boys,
until about the middle of the fourth
period. Richmond lost the ball on
downs on Statesboro's 1-yard line.
On an attempted punt by States
boro's back, Captain Pund blocked
the ball and recovered, touching
down for the final scoring.
The Richmond boys appeared to
be somewhat off on toe work, due,
no doubt, to the heavj r , slippery
ball. Out of two re-trles for goal,
they failed to score points from this
source.
AN EXHIBITION OF
OLD STYLE WORK.
The game ns a whole, was a strik
ing exhibition of the old-style of
football, the aerial game being out
of the question with the drizzling
rain and soaking turf. The only
forward pass attempted during the
entire game was Injected by States
boro, when Quarterback Anderson
passed to Woods, left half. Woods
was thrown for a 3-yard loss. Line
bucks and plunges were the rule,
brain giving way to brawn when
science couldn’t count for much
with such an elusive ball. Both
lines held well, and it was only by
clever running around ends of the
backs that netted any material
gains for either side. Richmond’s
interference excelled that of the
Aggies, this probably accounting
for the win in a large measure.
Musketeer backs, however, also did
some beautiful broken field run
ning. Stelling, Schneider, Powell
and Glllman topping Richmond's
list of ground-gainers. Savitz,
Hudson and Murphey nlso earned
laurels for their brilliant work on
the ends. Captain Pund and guards
and tackles held the line like a stone
wall and kept many Richmond
plays Intact by holding the enemy
off.
Anderson, Rogers, Wall, Camp
bell, Lewis and Donahoo carried the
bulk of the burden for Statesboro.
Had the Aggies’ line been a little
stronger, the backfield could have
shown up to much better advan
tage. Anderson, at quarter, play
ed a brilliant game, while Captain
Wall and Donehoo, on the ends,
fought like lions for the full play
ing time of tho game. Statesboro
has a game bunch of fighters, con
testing every inch of ground gained
by Richmond, and a little season
ing will put them among the best
prep-school teams of the state.
Richmond supporters are highly
elated over the showing made by
Coach Carson’s proteges and are
freely predicting the best football
year the Academy has ever known.
Notwithstanding the steady driz
zle of rain falling during the en
tire period of play, a crowd esti
mated at nearly 1,000 witnessed the
game.

By EARL “LIBERTY” BELL
Reports are current that Green
ville may not have a team in the
Sally League next season. It is said
that President Qrnham does not
care to shoulder the responsibility
unless a belter playing field is
provided.
Greenville Is a good baseball town,
and it is hoped that the Spinners
will continue on the job. Ashovllle
cut down a mountain to lay out n
good field, and Greenville should
be able to make some sort of satis
factory arrangement in tho prem
ises.
If Greenville does fall out. how
ever, it will not disrupt the league.
It is understood that Columbia
would gladly Jump at the berth.
<
And Zinn Beck, who has been
playing baseball since the memory
of man runneth net, etc., probably
will manage the Spinners again If
they stay in the circuit.
Marvin Wolfe, president of the
Augusta club, is taking a rest
from baseball prior to warming up
for next season’s activities, and the
same is true of Johnny Nee, the
peerless pilot. Though Nee has
had several tempting offers as a
result of piloting Augusta to the
pennant, there is still a chance of
his returning next year. The job is
certainly his if ho wants it. Nee
is spending the winter at St. Peters
burg, Fla.
It is estimated that a crowd of
15,000 will attend the Georgia-Fur
dan grid classic hero on October
18th. All roads will lead to Au
gusta on that day. Augusta should
have at least one big football game
each year, and the building of an
up-to-date stadium would be one of
the best ways to make this come
true.

ATHLETICS, 4; YANKEES, 3.
PHILADELPHIA—A wild pitch
by Joe Bush in the seventh inning
of Saturday’s fray with the Athle
tics cost the New York Yankees
the game, 4 to 3, and made their
chances of overcoming the Sena
tors' lead practically nil.
Had it not been for this wild
heave, the Yankee's scoring of two
runs in the ninth would have tied
the score.
The bad pitch came with Jimmy
Dykes on second and before the
husky Wally Sehang could retrieve
the hall Dykes had scampered
across tho plate with the fourth and
what proved to he the winning tally.
Rommel pitched a strong game
from start to finish although ho
weakened in the ninth, when he was
solved for three hits.
Bush's shaky start in the first
inning, when he was blasted for
five .singles and three runs, proved
his most disastrous session. Rom
mel struck out but one batter, but
he singled out Ruth and the “Babe"
was resting his bat on his shoul
der when he was called out.
The capacl'l crowd that com
pletely filled the stands and bleach
ers cheered vociferously as the
game finished and let out still a
louder whoop as the Senators' 7 to
5 victory was hung up on tho score
board.

Philadelphia sporting writers had
decided lie was tire most valuable
player on the Philadelphia team.
