After the ball was put in play by Vir-

made by Belden. OF North Carolina. and
some lusty kicking he did. sending the
pigskn sailing well down into Virginia

into goal for touch-back. But. some

seemed TO have poor success in their en-

line was as adamant 10 their rushers.
The tacklers at either end closed about
their runners knees like hear-traps ana
dragged them down. Their punts were
blocked. and the ball was repeatedly
seized upon their own territory. Right
gallantly they fought out the contest 10
it's finish. but the Charlottesville boys
were out for record. and could not be
prevented from making it.
AS for individual plays those who saw
them will not soon forget the brilliant
dashes Of Groner. Dabney. and Hoxton,
