FAST ATTACK TOO MUCH
Local Eleven Helpless Be-
lore Hurry-Up Style, Bat
Fought Gamely.

Before the largest crowd chat has
seen a varsity game in this city this
fall the George Washington gridiroa
warriors yesterday were swamped by
Virginia at National Park by 55 to o
Outplayed in every department Of
the game except punting. in which
Captain steenerson held his own with
the hooters from the Old Dominion. the
Buff and Blue never had a chance for
victory, and the only hope Of the fol-
lowers of the local eleven was that their
favorites would hold the score down.
Swept Of Their Feet.
But this the Hatehetites were unabls
to do. From the beginning Virginia sim
/ ply swept George Washington up and
down the field and the only reason the
score was not not larger was that
George Washington several times got
the oval on punts. and by making some
surprising gains gave the visitors less
chance Of piling up more tallies.
! Coached by King Cole, a protege Of
Hurry-Up Yost. Virginia presented prob
ably the best team seen In Washington
| this fall. It was well drilled IN the
hurry-up tactics Of the famous Michigan
instructor. The game was simply a case
OF up and away. and in many cases the
Ytrginians fairly played the locals of
their feet. The team from Charlottes-
Vile was somewhat handicapped by the
absence OF Captain Cooke. Warren. and
Hopkins. who were kept on the side
lines on account OF injuries.
Some Brave Rallies.
At times George Washington surprised
her most enthusiastic supporters by her
] good ofIense, which occasionally ad-
vanced steadily. But on the defense the
! Bun and Blue was weak. Her line was
ripped TO pieces and her tackling was
so poor that time and again her men
were shaken or when, had they gone at
the runner properly, he would have been
cut down and the score probably held
down to 40 points. This weakness was
especially noticeable IN the second line
OF defense, and whenever a Virginia
back got through the forwards he was
usually good for twenty yards.
About 1900 persons were present On
the south side were massed the rooters.
George Washington had a crowd OF sew
eral hundred who kept up a continual
singing and cheering din. Even after the
score reached big figures the Buff and
Blue students did not waver. but en-
cCuraged their team to end and after
the game was over marched behino
their buses, iauding the players and
telling what they are going 10 do TO
Georgetown on November 25. The Vir-
ginia supports gave their players q nics
send-off at the beginning.
A Mismanaging Manager.
An unpleasant feature Of the game
was the mismanagement by Manager
Hefflebcwer. OF George Washington, IN
the handling Of side line badges
Before the game he announced
that there were 10 be only i've
men on the side lines not in uni
form. When the game began there gers
soon about twenty men there, many OF
whom had no excuse for thus obstruct-
ing the view, while several, who vera
clearly entitled TO the privilege. were
! kept of.
Johnson Led Virginia
Hammond Johnson. the left haIe-
back, was easily the star for Virginia
J Time after time this fleet back broke
through George Washington's defense
for spectacular runs and finally capped
his br. liant work by slipping by the
left side OF the Hatehetites' line and
sprinting through a broken field for
eighty yards
Randolph, at quarterback, was one Of
Virginia's stars. He handled punts in
faultless style and by speedily giving
the signals kept his team on the jump
during his whole time in the game
Toward the close of the game he gave
way 10 Fletcher. the former Western
High School player Snd the local boy
succeeded in running the team nicely.
Steenerson Best.
Captain Steenerson did the best work
for George Washington In his punt
ing duels he had the better of It with
Johnson, and by some clever tacklinR
several times saved his teams goal line
after the runner had broken through ths
line. on the second string Of defense
Beard did yoeman duty for the losers,
and when his side had the ball he made
his distance several times.

Virginia brought the ball back fifteen
yards. On the next play Johnson tore
off thirty yards on a dash through right
tackle. and then Virginia steadily as

Tandems Effective.
On the next kick-of Johnson sent ths
ball over the goal line. and Steenerson
punted from the 25-yard line. Virginia
got the oval IN the middle OF the field,
and using johnson and NAPLES in tam
