and at the previous contests the crowds
were Of far greater proportions than yes
t.rdav's. but. Notwithstanding this. the
contest vas highly exciting ana lull of
interest
. vireir'a had the best of the game from
ie,art TO finish. The 'Varsiues had the
fadvantago Of superior weight, and their
4 cites were far superior TO those en-
j .ed by INhigh. As q result, Virginia

IT continuously IN Lehish's territory.
SCORES MADE EARLY.
The scores We're made in The first iif-
teen minutes Of the game. Before tho
contest had been on FIVE minutes Virginia
had forced a way through lehiBhs Inc
and scored a touchdown, which yielded
i've points. shortly thereafter another
opening was found, and through TINS Nlr-
Flnia again went. scoring another touch-
down and five points. IN both Instances
Coleman failed TO kick goal, thus losing
two points for Virginia
After these two gains Lehigh pulled
herself together, and played stronger
defensive game Virginia kept the ball
on Lengths territory almost oil the time,
and the lads from Charlottesville forced
the lighting throughout. The PennsylVa-
mans. however, maintained their line in
better condition. and Virginia $ gains
counted FOR naught
Throughout the second half the game
was waged nercely and man after man
was injured and laid low. Sul, though,
Virginia used every endeaVOr 10 score,
end did on one. occasion get within feet
OF the Lehgh tOuch-line. the Pennsylva-
mans rallied about the ball. making
touch back. and saving themselves from
greater defeat. Lehigh made several pro-
lielous efforts 10 score, and Dornin tried
fo kick goal from the field. lie made a
beautiful effort. but the wind carried the
bali around the gOal-pOsts, and the ehoit

GUIDED with Nirginia's score 10 10 Le-
llh's o.
