Johnson Nearly the Whole Thing.

johnson Nearly the Whole Thing.
Johnson was not the whole thing but
he was most all of It. NAPLES, Hopkins,
Barry and Maddux broke into the game
every now and then and helped the cause
along for a few yards. King Cole, form
erly of Michigan, and now coaching the
Virginia team, declared that the boys from
Charlottesville did not put UP their best
game. One bystander, who wore the orange
and blue of George Washington, replied
that If Virginia ever comes back to Wash
ington and plays better game they must
bring cyclone cellars along with them for
the protection of their opponents
George Washington did the best she could
under the circumstances Everybody on
the team played good game, but they
lacked the weight and the experience neces-
sary to win in such fast company The
game was enlivened by half dozen rail-
lies, when it looked for moment that the
local lads might score. But these rallies
were short-lived and usually ended by Mr.
Johnson of Virginia losing his patience and
running off with the ball for another touch
down. STEVENSON put up a crackerjack
game for the Orange and Blue.
His offensive and defensive work was
conscientious, and 1t was due TO him more
than to any one else that the score was
not twice as large Linthicum headed of
two touchdowns by fine tackles, while Glib
son, Beard and Morris made their share of
the gains. But the best the locals could do
was TO postpone the inevitable.
Vlrgina's offensive game was of the sort
they teach out at Ann Arbor-fast and flu
rious. But her defensive work was not
good Time and time again George Wash
ington pushed the Virginia line out of the
way for half dozen yards-and this in
the face OF a much heavier set of men
Ffrginia's ends were well taken care of and
the local boys had to resort to line bucking
for all their gains George Washingtou's
play demonstrated that little can be accom-
N nv ton, hot
teen minutes each day, and even then has
no scrub eleven to buck up against
Many of the George Washington students
were overheard yesterday after the game
declaring that the only way the local uni
versity can get first-class team into the
field is to get her best material into the
game.
We've. got the material" said Coach
get it out we could lick Virginia as easily
as she licked us. There are lots of hie
Fellows in the university, but they will not
don foot ball toys"
The Game in Detail.
Beard started the trouble promptly at 3
o'clock by kicking off to Virginia's ten
yard line, where Randolph caught Mr..
Law of George Washington came running
up just at this moment and Mr.. Randolph
failed to move out of his tracks Then
Virginia gave NAPLES the ball and he made
fifteen yards just for a starter Johnson
Cdiile meat with d gam OI ten ydfCS, which
he supplemented with twenty-five yard
dash through left tackle. The rush contin-
ued and before the local boys were aware
of their danger, the ball was on their ten
yard line. Mr.. NAPLES 'promenaded for
seven yards. With the ball their three

George Washington, 0.
Johnson kicked off for Virginia, the ball
rolling out of bounds nearly at the goal
line Beard kicked in back from the 5-yard
line to Randolph. This time Mr.. Lorando
introduced himself to Mr.. Randolph, and the
latter failed to make any Roadway, prob
ably because of the fact that Lorando
picked him up by the knees and dumped
him unceremoniously on the ground. This
put the ball on Virginia's 45-yard line.
NAPLES romped through the line for ten
yards, knocking everything over that got in
his way. Maddux and Hopkins earned a
few yards, Johnson made fifteen and the
ball was on George Washington's five-yard
line. Maddux went over for the second
touchdown of the game. Time, minutes
Randolph missed goal. Score: Virginia,
10; George Washington, 0.
Beard kicked off to Krebs, who caught on
Virginia's lS-yard line and advanced to the
45-yard line before he was downed. Hop
kins galloped through the line for fifteen
yards, and then Mr.. Johnson got angry.
Trucking the pigskin beneath his arm. he
smiled pleasantly at the contending war
riors and scurried away for fifty yards and
the third touchdown. Time. one and one
half minutes. Barry kicked goal Score:
Virginia, 10; George Washington, 0.
Another Short Lease of Life
Johnson kicked off to Stevenson, who
caught behind the line. The next kick went
to Lorando on George Washington's ten
ward line Here the Orange and Blue took
another lease of life, as 1t were. and mean
dered slowly up the field. Eight yards
was the limit, and the ball went to Virginia
on downs. Maddux promenaded for eight
yards; Johnson lodged through right
tackle and end for seven, and then Mad
dux hurled the line for the fourth touch
down. Time, 3h minutes. Barry missed
goal. Score: Virginia. 81; George Wash
ington, 0.
johnson kicked or to STEVENSON, who
caught on the ten-yard line and advanced
eighteen yards. Two attempts at Virginia's
line were ineffective. and STEVENSON punted
to Randolph, on Virginia's forty-yard line.
Then 1t was the same old story. Barry
cfrcled the end for twenty-five yards.
NAPLES worked a dervish twist for eighteen
yards. which he backed up by scrambling
over the line for the f1fth touchdown Time.
