The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1890-11-26

The University started OFF with the ball
and the gain of twenty yards made by her
famous V clearly foretold the result OF the
game.
1t is useless to attempt a detailed descrip-
ton of the game. The whole game was
lust repetition OF signals by Captain Dag
gett, "A rush, or passing OF the ball 10
a half-back, and then touchdown.
Every man on the team made
a touch down, and just to keep up the fun,
Captain Daggett called out the mighty
Garth from centre, made him half back,
placing Smith, the right guard, at centre,
who, by the way, is no slOuch OF centre
either The ball was passed to Garth,
whom the boys have seen iii to dub
"GOliath." He started on dead
running for touchdown, wardlng OF his
would-be opponents as if they were mere
pigmies, and-well, it is needless to say that
he "gOt there" to the intense delight OF the
spectators. 1t was not question OF VIII
We win, but when will we stop winnlngF
The Randolph-Macon boys played pretty
fair game, but they were IN too fast com
pany this evening.
Thurman and Greenway, two of the Var
sity'. star players, did not engage in to-day's
game, they being reserved for the other
games to be played this week.
Captain Jones, Of the Washington and
Lee University eleven, was here today To
make arrangements for the game to be
PLAYED here on Thanksgiying-Day
On next Saturday the Varsity eleven Will
play Trinity College, Of North Carolina, for
the championship OF the south. The
game will take place in Richmond,
and it is hoped that Richmond
will turn out in fnll force and give the
wearers Of the orange and blue, the repre-
sentatiyes OF Nirginia's grand old instltu-
ton, such welcome as they have never
received, and cheer them on To victory, as
they battle for football supremacy against
the "Tar-heels" from the old North State.
The University eleven has been wonder
fully strengthened since their Northern
tour. They play with more snap and vim
than has ever been observed in the play Of
any OF the VARSITY former football teams.
Garth, weighing go and as active as a
cat, looms up in a game like some lOcomo-
tive plOughing its way through an immense
snoW-drift as he hurls himself against the
opposing centre. strong indeed must be
the that he, with his TWO guards, Hedges
and Ainslie, strapping, muscular fellows
that they are, cannot break when
they throw themselves against lis
apex. Then there is little "Billy'
Daggett, who went through many a
hard-fought battle last season, and
is still playing his old position as quarter
back. lie captains the team, and when he
gives a signal the opposing side must look
out. Although weighing only liO, he never
fails to down his man. The work of Thur
man at right tackle and Greenway at right
end is Of the highest order.
Your correspondent has never seen bet
ter end game than that played by Green
way in the game with Lafayette last Thurs
day. Then there is wave Whitaker, an
other member Of last years team, who Is
playing a brilliant game behind the line as
right half back. The boys never feel
uneasy when the pig-skin is passed to him.
His interfering is also beautiful. Abbott,
Stone, and Marshall also are good men.
and can be depended on in downing their
man, or advancing the sphere.
