Oct. scored a touchdown in the first five minutes of play this afternoon and won from Randolph-Macon 6 to 0. The ball had been carried from the middle of the field by consistent gaining through the line when Barrett completed a 10-yard pass to Smith and the latter carried the ball over the goal line. The Virginian line was unable to withstand the onslaughts of the Methodists. A fumble and a penalty by, Trinity players.

on the goal line robbed the Methodists of two touchdowns. Trinity made fourteen first downs to Randolph-Macon's two. During the first feve minutes of the game it looked as if Virginians were going to be swamped, but a revival of spirit from the visitors and the inability of Trinity players to complete plays when 8 touchdown would resulted left no change in the score after the first five minutes. A freak kick-off and the aerial attack told for the Methodists in the first quarters. The Virginians were unable to get in any except defensive plays.

Trinity resorted to line bucks for gains in the latter periods. The Trinity team showal marked improvement over the game of a week ago. Smith ran his team more smoothly, but weakness was shown in interference and in catching the ball under the excitement of play. Bauserman, fullback, did the principal gaining for Randolph-Macon.

Too Many Practice Games And Too Few Real Battles Thought That Under Southern Intercollegiate Conference There Will Be More Football Contests Where Contending Elevens Are Evenly Matched By FUZZY WOODRUFF The farther the football season of 1921 goes the more apparent it becomes how welcomed will be the advent of 1922 with the functioning of the ern conference, and it's my humble opinion that this conference is going to be just as big a boon to the little schools outside its jurisdiction as the big schools within it. Last week I was in Athens, to see the football game between the University of Georgia and Furman. It was a real football game.

Furman knew just as much football as Georgia. It knew. a whole lot more about the more advanced phases of football than Georgia did. At the end of the first half Furman was leading, 7-6, but everybody knew then and there the game was over and that Furman would not be returned the winner. Furman nas a student body of approximately 250.

Georgia's student 1 body is about four times that large. Manifestly Furman could not call on the reserve forces that were at Georgia'scommand. Manifestly it was the part of generalship for Georgia to batter what Furman had to pieces and win the game as it pleased when Furman had nothing left-which is just exactly what Georgia did. Lesson of Pugilism I'm not criticising Georgia for so doing, but it occurs to me that there is little sport in football games played under such conditions. They handle things much more sensibly in pugilism and pugilism is not supposed to have any of the sportsmanly elements of football.

Certainly no pugilistic audience stood for a heavyweight mauling never lightweight about, and by that same token I don't believe that it's the regular thing to do to match a football team from a colege of 1,000 student body against the football team of a college of 200 student body. And still it's done in the south by every southern college and done in extenso ad nauseam. Wherefore the Univrsity of Georgia has the excellent excuse that everybody's doing it and 80 everybody is. Georgia is not to be blamed. The authorities governing the game are.

Of course, the college authorities will hold up their hands in virtuous horror and explain that these games with the smaller colleges are merely practice affairs. Absurdity of Explanation Let's see just how absurd the planation is. The collegiate football season very properly lasts a maximum of ten weeks. It would be suicidal to attempt to lengthen it. In the first place, the thoughts of student bodies during the football season are devoted to nothing but football.

If higher education gets into the brain of any college youngster during that time it gets in with a jimmy or dynamite. It's a fine thing for college morale and lege spirit while it lasts. Its benefits are incalculable, but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. In the second place, the weeks season is plenty long enough ten, players. Keeping them on edge longer would be fatal to their physical welfare.

We will dismiss whether it is long enough for the patrons. Football patronage has its virtues. It also has its drawbacks. Of those ten weeks five days are supposed to be devoted to practice a and one day to play. That's a big enough per centage.

But under the present system of football schedule making, we finl that actually a maximum of four days is devoted to play and sixty-six days to practice, which seems 8 trifle lopsided. Spirit of Conference However, the spirit of the conference, which may or may not be carried out, is that the big schools shall play the big schools. Naturally that means that the little schools will play the little schools. It means that we will have next year some rivalry of evenly matched competition, which is the sav ing grace of every sport.

Machinery--Mill Supplies--Machine Shop through seasons undefeated and with goal lines uncrossed, but those colleges will have had their courage tested, their endurance tried, and their resourcefulness weighed in the balance, and after all it was for the development of these very attributes that America's great intercollegiate game was invented.
