CHARLOTTESVILLE VA. october Is
| Special 1.-THE football contest this after
noon between the University of Virginia
eleven and the team representing Gallau-
det College, Washington, was very
clean, fercely-waged battle. and resulted
in a victory for the Orange and Blue by
score Of 10 to o.
Virginia started in with about the same
lineup as in the game Wednesday with
the University of Pennsylvania, the only
change being the substitution Of Norfieet
for Cooke at right end. During the last
half SHIRLEY relieved Griffin at right half
back, Lloyd took LEAFS position at right
tackle. and Coleman went in in the place
Of Norheet. The playing Of the Virginia
men was sharp and snappy at the outset,
but constant fumbling kept them from
scoring until five minutes before the close
Of the first half
Soon after the contest opened the home
team carried the ball steadily UP the field,
where Elsom fumbled II on Gallaudets
3-yard line. Geilfuss then kicked the ball
out Of danger, and 1t was fully ten
minutes before Virginia could again ap-
proach their opponents goal.
At the beginning OF the second hair,
Virginia again started off with rush.
Coleman caught the ball on the kick-off
and ran back 80 yards. SHIRLEY took the
leather for % yards more. but on the
next attempt TO advance it Wills fumbled
and n visiting player fell on 1t. Then the
mules made a bold stand, and began ham,
mering the Virginia line with much sue
cess. This was kept up for several
minutes, until Virginia, on her 25-yard
line. finally stopped the onset, securing
the ball on downs. SHIRLEY and Wills then
carried the leather down the field the
former being pushed over for the second
touchdown Templeman failed at goal.
Collier, Estes, Griffin, and SHIRLEY played
an especially strong game for Virginia.
Collier was here, there, and everywhere,
while Estes was quick in getting down
the field and downing the runner in his
tracks. Walsh made a beautiful running
tackle towards the close of the game,
which called forth hearty applause from
the spectators. SHIRLEY made frequent
runs, and he will no doubt be fixture
on the Varsity. Wills put up his usual
good game at half and tackled well
For Gallaudet, Rossop and Waters did
the best work, frequently going through
Virginia's line with ease. The lineup:
