In game yesterday afternoon that was
superb in its beginning for the Orange
and White and heartrending in It's finish
William and Mary College went down IN
defeat to Hampden- Sidney College to the
score OF s to g.
Never in the history Of collegiate games
seen in the capital city was there one
more exciting, one In which the two sides
did more cheering for their respective
teams, and never one in which the climax
was so unexpected, or even dreamed OF
by those who had come to root for the
william sburgers. The bleachers ana
grandstand were filled with the largest
crowd that ever witnessed like contest
between two college teams. and so
wrought up were the opposing rooters
that the din can be represented only by
that of the tabled pandcnonium. IN iact
lpandemonum reigned supreme from start
to finish. Both sides were represented py
a. strong body OF followers. each on dlf-
ferent sides of the grandstand, and as
each nine made brilliant play the very
welkin rang with their cheers
William and Mary had chartered spe-
from the Orange and White were backed
by rooters numbering at least two hum
bred and fifty. Among them were the
fafrest OF the bellies OF the second oldest
college In the United States. and nobly
did they do their roofing for the colors
worn upon their bosoms during the hour
OF seeming victory. and when the hour
of defeat doomed largely upon them they
did not falter. To them be all honor due

for in the long agony OF defeat they
suffered even more than did the aggrega-
ton for whom they rendered their cheers.
And to the fair one who rooted for the
Presbyterians something must be said IN
praise for at least something of the VIC
tory must be accredited to their loyalty.
Until the beginning Of the ninth VII
liam and Mary had the game all her own
way, the score being five to nothing. Un-
til the eighth inning Hampden-Sldney
never won to first base: but in the ninth
inning they caught on to the curves OF
Henning. the William and Mary pitcher,
and made six hits and as many runs,
Henning had pitclfed the best game Of
life
The Presbyterians never made hit
off him until the next last inning. and
did not even get to first base. But III
the ninth inning his arm began to weak
en-, and he was unable to hold them down.
Had William and Mary put In another
pitcher during the last inning. the Orange
and White might have won. But this
was not done, and It was on the weak
ened spirit that the Prcsbyterlans won.
William and Mary began to lose heart,
several errors were made. and on this
the Presbyterans won. But nothing Is
taken from their due, for all during the
game, even when defeat seemed to ue
theirs, they were game. And 1t was due
to this spirit that the contest was event.
