George Washington University closed its
foot ball season this morning In game
on its own campus with the eleven from
Washington and Lee. and the Ratchet bril-
gade went down to defeat to the measure
of IT to 0. The home team made its pres
ence felt in the contest only at rare inter-
vais it's spurts being invariably stopped
before becoming dangerous. The score was
an accurate expression Of the relative abil-
! ity of the two teams, although Dame For
tune figured partially in two Of the visitors
| three touchdowns. In the same sense the
] dispenser Of human good and ills figured in
preventing one additional score when the
wind caught the ball on Bagley's drop
kick, near the end of the second half. and
sent it whirling inches outside the posts.
George Washington had the advantage of
weight, but the boys from Lexington show
| ed much better team work and their con-
sistent hard work landed the laurel.
A Rowling Northwest Wind.
In the very beginning Capt. Stevenson
won the toss and chose the west goal,
with the bowling northwest wind at his
back. Washington and Lee elected that
the home team should also kick off. The
! influence of Boreas was evident in the
| first play, because the ball went spinning
over Washington and Lees goal line. 1t
was promptly brought out to the twenty
| fve-yard line, and operations begun in
earnest.
| Anderson. Bagley and Moomaw made
| the first three runs for total of five
| yards. and on the next play Stevenson
| and Morris got into the interference with
1 q M nd
| five-yard loss. Berry upset Anderson for
another five-yard loss and the visitors
were compelled to kick.
Anderson booted the ball for the center
| of the field, and 1t was George Washing
| toms turn to show their ability. Stevenson
| butted the line for two gains of four yards
| each, but it was third down when Morris
failed to advance the ball. and Stevenson
| punted. Anderson was thrown for a loss
| but just at that point the whole eleven from
! Lexington awakened and there were things
doing on the old Van Ness Park gridiron
| On fake kick Anderson tore through the
| line for ten yards, BagIey contributed nine
more in two successive rushes and after
Moomaw had made two more first downs
| Anderson wriggled through eleven pairs of
hands and sprinted more than half the
| length of the field. Stevenson, who was
playing well back, slipped in the mad
and missed the tackle Whiting made
gallant stern chase and deprived Anderson
| of the touchdown by inches. Moomaw went
| over on the next rush and Anderson kicked
| the goal. Time, 6.51. Score: Washington
and Lee, 6; George Washington. O.
Bagley's Sensational PAN.
The change Of goals gave the visitors
the advantage Of the wind and after a
brief interval, life the breeze, they took
advantage of 1t. Bagley made a sensa-
tional run of thirty-f1ve yards through half
| Of the home team, and by straight foot ball
the leather was carried from the Hatchet
/ ffaS' ri limo tha
son failed at the goal. Time, 49, Score.
Washington and Lee, IL; George Washing
ton, 0.
George Washington displayed a little of
their ''second-half form when operations
were resumed in the second half But it
was flash in the pan. and 1t was Wash
ington and Lees ball on their opponents
4O-yard line. The trio from behind the
Lexington line would not again be denied
and the ball was carried to within two
yards Of the goal, when Moomaw plunged
over for his third touchdown. Anderson
kicked goal Time. 1851. Score: Wash
ington and Lee. II; George Washington, O.
After the next kickoff things went badly
with Georges Washington, for after receiv-
ing the ball from Anderson.s boot Steiner
son was quickly compelled to attempt a
kick out Of the dangerous zone. Unfortu-
nately. the ball was passed very porly and
"Steeny' was thrown for 20-yard loss
| Only a tumble prevented another touch
down. The game ended with the ball in
| the center of the field.
The Washington and Lee players first
| gave their cry of victory with final tiger
| for their less fortunate opponents and
| then the welkin rang with the IA
| miliar 'GE-O-R-G-E, GEORGE.
GEORGE Washington" and the tiger
| for Washington and Lee. Coach .Davey"
Houston was remembered with Hes all
right Who's all right? HOUSTON"
Thus the foot ball season of 1905 in
George Washington University came to an
| end.
