WASHINGTON, ID. G, Oct. 26.-A VIZ.
riuia football team sprung surprise on
si1e Georgetown team a week ago. a
Virginia team had a surprise sprung on
ii by the Georgetown team this afternoon.
il Wasn't the same Virginia team, how
ever. nor The same Georgetown team
The Virginia Polytechnics Waiiupeo
Georgetown n week ago and the virginia
Military Institute team came to wash
irr,or, .llis morning in the fun blown
Nope of repeating the discontinue OF the
local collegians.
The yirgiuians based their hope on the
fact that they defeated the Polyteclmcs
last year, the two teams being almost
identical this year. This part OF thelr
reasoning may have been AL nsht. bu1
d thing that the Y. NJ. ]. boys failed TO
take into consideration was the improve
ment OF the Georgetown team
ONE TOUCHDOWN.
Tho Improvement was such that at the
end of forty-fivc minutes OF stubborn
riay on the Georgetown campus to-day
Georgetown successfully defended Its
goal and sent a runner once across Nlr-
rinia's goal line for the lone touchdown
that won the game. N1ackay failed on
the try for goal, SO the final score was
5, 10 0.
There is no room for comparison be-
ago and Georgetown of to-day. There
Il room only for contrast. Coach Church
has worked wonders with the locals IN
The last seven days, and it was really
formidable team that lined UP against
The Nirginians
STIFF CANE.
The Y. NJ. ]. boys. under the redoubtaole
Captain Johnson, put up stiff game
with never u WAIVER in it, and there
were cheers for their pluclly fight after
The game. but il is doubtful if the cheers
anaclietl the ears OF the Saaqutshed.
They We're heavy OF heart and dimmed OF
eye as they u'udged sorrowfully from
ti<a field. Not only WAS the game a Dig
disappointment 10 the Y. NJ. j. team, but
ii was a surprise OF equal magnitude to
the big crowd Of Virginia rooters that
was on hand to cheer the boys from
Lexington. The Y. III. /. supporters were
much mere numerous than was the case
a week ago. and bits of red. yellow ana
white ribbon showed conspiciously in the
crowd
The followers of the Y. NJ. L team Will
be anxious to hear what Georgetown
thinks of the team as compared With
the Y. y. ]. tam. The TWO Virginia
teams are to face each o,-4cr on Thanks
giving Day. Judged from the perform
;lnces OF the two teams here, there ASH
much 10 choose between the two. II
there is a difference, it is in favor Of the
V p j. boys whose line hung together
better than that of the Y. NJ. l., and
whose backs seemed to have more OF the
characteristics of small steam engines
than those of Y. NJ. l., though Half
Pack Rawn, Of the latter team, did some
OF the best ground gaining against dis
couraging odds that has ever been seen
in this city. This fellow SHOULD put a
letter 3. in front of his name and make
fine lot of this latter quality.
