five yard line. Again he was called upon
and around left end he slipped covering
the whole distance 10 goal post. Coleman

and Carpenter punted 10 Nirginia's thirty
ward line The signal was given for Gers
tie TO take the leather.

ran for eighty yards Griffin aud the
whole right side OF the line forming a
magnificent interference.
