GALLAUDET COLLEGE DEFEATED
BY THE UNIVERSITY.
BUT THE SCORE A SMALL ONE.
Great Surprise Expressed-The Out

Must BE Done.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Noyem-
Der n.-(Special)-T Varsity defeated
the football team OF Gallaudet College
here this afternoon by the small score
of to o. The Varsity team was COM
posed Of Virginias best players, and the
offensive work displayed by them was
far superior to anything that has been
seen so far this year. 1t was with
the greatest effort that several times du-
ring the game the Vrginians prevented
the visitors from scoring. as the ball was
within a few yards Of the goal-line. This
is the last game that VARSITY will have
before the annual Thanksgiying-Day con-
test with the University OF North Caro-
lima, in Richmond.
The greatest surprise prevails at the
small score made against a team which
had been defeated by the st. Johns COL
lege eleven, which the Virginias defeat
ed As to 0; and, unless the Varsity Is
changed wonderfully, we will lose against
Carolina. The outlook is anything but
cheerful tonight, and everybody agrees
that something must be done, and that
at once.
The features OF the game to-day were
the long run by Groner Of thirty yards
around the visitors right end, and the
general. all-'round good plays Of the
Visitors. The lineup was as follows:
