The Tennessee Men Started in With a

9inia Took a Brace and Won.

then interest arose to fever pitch Sewa-
nee kicked off with Virginia defending the
east goal, and by superior team work
succeeded in forcing the ball down the
Heid until goal was kicked from the
iieid, and Sewanee had made a score of
iiVe to Nirgirda's nothing. Sewanec's end
men proved themselves capable in the
extreme, and frequently c!rced Virginia s
ends Tor good, substantial gains. The Ten
Etssee Hne was weak. however, and it
was this weakness which caused their col
ors to sink III defeat.
Vitginiais mass plays were entirely too
much for the Tennesseeans and time after
TINS the Purple was t1ampled under foot
oy the heavy work Of the Orange and
Blce. isewanee showed, great strength in
her tacki4ng, and frequently downed the
Virginia LADS il their tracks ere they had
time 10 make gain, but V1rginia's mag
nificert Interference more than offset this,
ard, coupled with the thrilling runs Of
Ds2ney, succeeded IN giving the Old DO
min5on the victory.
DABNIY THE STAR.
Dabney was the bright particular star
Of the game. lie frequently took posses
sion Of the ball. and several times ran with
1t around the Se~anee ends. on five dcca-
sions making Tong dashss down the grid
iron. avoiding, by virtue of his lodging
sociates, the tackling of the Tennesseeans.
Nalle also made beautiful dash for a
distance of fifty yards Wilson, Ssrwa-
neeS quarter back, also made a splendid
dash, but Nirginia's lads downed him on
her 20-yard line, and the dash awaited
naught.
Virginia was at a disadvantage during
the first fifteen minutes of the contest
The Orange and Blue suited lads were
somewhat weary, and the clever plays
which Sewanee introduced were. some of
them, new ana caught the virginans
mapping. When, however. the Varsities
realized the weakness of the Tennessee e
line. they resorted to mass plays and
gained considerably through the Tennessee
centers. From that time on the ball was
kept in Tennessee territory. ard Virginia
had but little trouble in scoring against
Sewanee.
The lads from Tennessee were unable
to make advances through Virsinia's line,
but realizing their inability 10 succeed
along this line, they reSort5d to other tao
tics, and frequently attempted to kick
goal from the field. though they never sue
ceeded but the once. Virginia made
thrse touci1GownS. two of them in tee first
half, and never failed on a try for goal.
NO BAND HERE
The Virginia lads had intended bringing
the StoneWall Band, OF Staunton, with
them to enliven the game with music but
at the last moment the band disappointed
them. and thEre-.was no music on the
grounds: There was plenty of vocalzing,
however. and the songs of the rooters
greatly enlivened the game. The rain of
the morning had the effect OF diminishing
the crowd somewhat. Compared with some
former games the crowd was not the
greatest, but what they lacked in num-
bers they made up for in enthusiasm, and
the afternoon was thoroughly enjoyed by
all present, save possibly, the Sewanee
bows
