A Reception.

CHARLESTON, W. VA. November A.
Special --More than 5000 persons saw
the Washington and Lee football team
defeated this afternoon by the West Vir-
ginia University team. The score was
"a to 0. The support Of Washington and
Lee, who numbered nearly half OF tie
entire audience, never seemed TO despair.
till time had been called at the end Of
the last half. and went wild with en-
thusiasm at every advantage gained by
the blue and white West Virginia won
because she had better football team.
That was tho history Of the game. She
outweighed her opponents by to 10
pounds. and her heavy backs hit Wash
ington and Lees line with telling effect.
West Virginia far outplayed her rivals
in offensive play and in that respect
showed far better team work.
Washington and Lee, on the other
hand, played a stubbornly defensive
game, but with the exception of a few
minutes In the first part of the second
hac. never made any decisive gains
through West virginia's lines or around
her ends. In tackling, both teams were
about equal. though Washington and
Lee lost some distance at almost every
tackle, by tackling their men too high.
West Virginia showed far better train
ing and were much fresher than their
opponents during the closing minutes OF
the game and had 1t been a little longer
West Virginia's score would have been
larger. The halves were twenty-five and
twenty minutes long. Among the
features were Oberlin's fine runs and
CampbelPs kicking and tackling. Referee
