Zicgler freaks Away for Long Field Runs More Than Once. y University OF Richmond surely spilled the dope good and plenty yes terday ut Stadium Field when they romped over the Wake Forest eleven by 4l-to-o score, failing by one point TO reach the total made against the Tarheels by Georgia Tech several weeks ago While the Spiders entered the game confident of victory, they Z themselves were as mach surprised as any when their drives at the yellow Jackets line met with such success. In fact. Richmond made no at tempts at sweeping end plays, al though short end runs were COM pleted. the longest runs made on Stadium Field this season resulting through the line. For instance, III the first quarter, after Wake Forest had been handed Il fine opportunity TO score by Zieglcr’s tumble. near his own goal and ZieElcr had recovered the ball on his five-yard line. a while later when Armstrong fumbled, aft er an exchange OF the ball on punts lieSler took the ball from his 22-yard line TO Wake Forests 56-yard line for gain OF 81 yards through tho visitors line. Snead materially aid Ing in tho secondary by fine inter- : ference. : Sncnd Scores Touchdown. ; Snead then, with II 3-ynrd gain by J Zeigler, sandwiched in on two drives y at the line found wide gaps there and advanced the first time IL yards, and 7 the second time scored a touchdown . for % yards. This was the first scor- /. ing and all in the quarter. The same . kind of runs resulted in the second :, quarter score. Snead running 20 ! yards for the touchdown. after Jones. ( Towiil and Mahaney had advanced ‘ the ball to that point. Previous to q this, however. Wake Forest gave promise of holding Richmond. as the / locals had reached their 2-yard line, Z where Wake Forest held for downs. 4 Dobson used his entire string of /; men that are considered on his varsity squad, but the injection of these men Z into the game did not make any apparent difference in the scoring pow !: er OF the Red and Blue, as seen from the fact that Richmond scored more !. heavily in the latter part Of the game than in the first half. Rolls IN Eleven First Downs. { Richmond rolled up eleven first 60wns during the play, while Wake Forest contented itself with seven There was much fumbling, some being disastrous and others having no oeu’iHS on the scoring. At least Two Spider touchdowns came as II diucct result Of Wake Forest fumbics. yet twice Richmond swept across III, goal line only TO be brought back FOR OIL side plays, ana once they were calied’ back only to succeed on the next play. Two unusual fumblcs occurred. or rather unusal things followed them. /. II was the third quarter that produced them. With the ball Oh Wakes hlteen-yard line, Mnhancy, Rich Inond’s subhalf back was given. the bali He fumbled behind the line, but gobbled the ball UP as ii bounced hish ana tore around left end, reach ing the even-yard line. where he 1umbied as lac was tackled. The ball shot 10 the goal line where four play ers bounced upon it, Robins being the 1”Stunate one and registering a ! touchdown BY his recovery. The other queer tumble also came in this quarter, and followed Robin.s touchdown on the kickoff. Harahan kicked TO Wake Forest on the fifteen. yard line. and the receiver fuIrblcd. Two Wake Forest men had the ball in their grasps, and one Richmonder TOO, let the greasy” oval get away. a Spider finally Catching the bali on the thirteen-yard line. but il was all annulied By an off-sidc play At the KICKOFF, AMI meant nothing.
