The first postseason football game to be staged in Richmond for many years will be played on Saturday afternoon between Richmond College and Hanover-Sidney for the championship of the Eastern Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Those elevens now are tied for the cup, and the acceptance yesterday by Richmond College of the challenge sent them by Hanover-Sidney assured the playing of the game.
Hurry, of Georgetown, referee, and Branch Hocock, of Virginia, Polytechnic Institute, umpire, will be officials in charge. The game probably will start at 3 o'clock, and will be staged in Broad Street Park, regarded as neutral grounds. It is said that the managements will divide equally the gate receipts.
While there have been several seasons in which the championship names have resulted in a tie for the year, this is the first time in a great while that a decisive game has been arranged. Due to the fact that the Hanover-Sidney examinations begin shortly, the players will be placed at a disadvantage; but the rivalry is so keen this season they were anxious even to take that chance that they might settle the title.
The Spiders not down to hard work attain yesterday afternoon, but confined their efforts principally to limbering up and running through signals with a little tackling practice. Practically all of the men came out of the game in good shape, and all were able to attend the banquet given them Saturday night. Only a couple of sermons were served.  In the games, the coaches will be given the players this week, the coach taking no chance on injuries.
