WASHINGTON. ID. c.. November ~
fspccial)-A more bitter or hercer foot
bau game than the Universities Of var
einia and Georgetown played to-day has
hardly ever been seen here For forty
minutes the TWO forces opposed each
other with grim determination written
I'm each face. and cXerted their utmost
efforts. but not p single point was scored
Tho contest was bruisins one an
through. and taxed the full strength oi
both teams. Tho battle wagcd so herce-
~ that time was incessantly caHeo Dc
cause OF injuries. Tho players had 10 De
refreshed any number Of times ana wv
men had 10 be assisted limpnsy Oh '"e
Geld Virginia being the unfortunate team
in each case. Early I'm the first hah her
best PLAYER and star half-back @siS''o'
was forced 10 quit through straining MS
right groin. and Byrd was forced out
with a badly hurt stomach and leg III the
second half. o.s
Georgetown started on WIN IuSh' anu
maintained Il an through the first hali,
Ioonsne Virginia on the defensive most
OF the time. Virginia s line was con-
sfanflv bucked for good gains but az
critical moments was impregnaDle. baf-
~ O'Gorman. pcvlin, Cummings. ana
Elton were impelled against Virgin"
front for almost steady gains. ana sou
was I'm hailng distance number or
times but Virginia rallied Just as otttH
and Coleman kicked out OF danger on
every occasion. In defensive work Loyd
and Summersgil in particular. ana Grimm
and McGin played suDerbly. but George
towns play was too compact ana con-
certed 10 resist without good gains.
Virginia PLAYED faster ina the second
bolr bur GEORGETOWN kept UP her steady
line work. and matters We're equahzeu'
and especially through OGOrmans SUI
perior kicking. Gerstle made several ana
tho only notable gains past GeorgetO"hs
stone-wall line, and Coleman made stNe-
raj fine long runs upon catching puhls'
and was Nirginia's mainstay 10y MS KICK
ing Cummings made the best gam l"i
Georgetown and played strongest OMEN
sively. Green distinguished himseu py
phenomenal defensive work. and George
towns whole line played exceptionally
strong I'm both defence and oHence.
GEORGETOWN kicked the ball 10 within
three yards Of Nirginia's goal al one
stage Of the game. but Coleman immedi-
ately kicked out OF danger.
