What noisc what confusion! what
roughncssl what a victory! is the thought
the general public had Of the football game
yesterday at Island Park between the
eeyens from the University Of Virginia and
Trinity College. II was n revelation 10
many, and the wonder the uninitiated had
was how the players escaped with
their lives. As it was, one man
had one eye closed, two had their
noses broken, one had ht, while sprains
and bruises was the necessary accompa-
ment OF nearly every player. As game,
however, IL was bowling success, ana IN
the first quarter 10 looked rather blue Tor
the Virginia men. The light of many
fair woman's eyes. however. cheered them
on, and their rushes in the last quarter
were excellent pieces OF work.
Both sides did eXcellently, the prOwess oi
the "tar heels" showing IN almost every
play. Their centre man, Whitaker, made
several magnificent rushes, and several OF
the other players made good runs ana
tackles, but they had not the same incen-
tive 10 spur them on. They had not the
reputation Of Nirginia's success al
stake; neither did they have the
plentimlness Of supporters the other side
had. Taking these twO facts into con-
sideration, aud also the fact that they made
an error. Trinity College deserves great
praise. and ali unbiased people on the field
were not slow in showing it.
THE ERROR.
Al 4 4 40
men, kicked for goal they missed 1t. \
Trinity man then had "a free kick to his
line. and the man that caught the ball
should have run back with 1t twenty yards.
This he did not do, and, as consequence,
the Virginia men had only three yards 20
/ rain 10 make another "tOuch-dOWn," when
| they should have had thirty yards.
The University men were too much TOR
the Trinity men IN the last quarter. Ihet
started in with the grim determination 10
win, and put their best energies in that di-
rectiOn. As result, when the game was
closed the score was ten to four in their
favor. Greenway did much 10 make the
score what it was. he making several mag
nificent runs. Garth, as centre, also dld
phenOmInal work.
The players in their positions were a.
