the Franklin field grldiron this afternoon
before 1000 enthusiasts. and their game
must be termed disappointment. Penn
sylyania had prepared for hard battle
and lined up their strongest team, with
only one player absent-Dickson.
When the southerners came on the field
their gigantic stature and apparent activ-
ity prophesied much. After minutes
of hard play Pennsylvania scored
touchdown and goal. and for the rest
of the first half Virginia was ecntinu-
ously on the defensive. Their line or
big men could not withstand the ter
rifle rushes directly through It's centre,
and their tackles and guards were not Meet
OF foot. Pennsylvania worked harder
than at any time this season. and the
tandem dives of Jackson and Boyle puz-
zled Virginia. Jackson opened the scor~,
eyading all the Virginia tackles from the
3O-yard line to the goal-posts. Minds
kicked goal q few moments later. Boyle
blocked a kick. the ball rolled over Vir-
ginia's line. and Quaker fell on 1t for
the second score, and Minds kicked goal
Score, II to 0.
The southerners made a few gains az
ter the ball was put in play. Jackson set
the crowd wild with grand run around
right end from centre for 70 yards ana
gained. Virginia captured the pail on
a tumble. but Boyle successfully blocked
the kick, gaining 20 yards. Short teIrlhc
rushes through centre carried the ball for

b-yard gains through the superior power
of Pennsylyania's line made the score 30
TO 0. Time was called with the ball on
Virginia's 20-yard line. Davis had been
badly hurt and Mallory was substituted.
The second half was fine exhibition,
although Pennsylvania put In several sub
stitutes. Virginia played much steadler
than before Jones, Collier, and Morri-
son did splendid work, and Virginia gain
ed steadily for awhile However, a
tumble changed matters, and Pennsyl-
yania kicked 10 l0-yard line, Virginia
capturing the ball again. Another rum
bic and Pennsylvania lightning rush
through centre scored the sixth touch-
down. Here the red and blue sprung
the tandem once more with great sue
cess After goal was kicked time was
