Visitors outplayed Local Team.

In the all-important feature of the after
Moons sport-the game itself-the Virginia
boys had all the better Of the argument
The playing of Virginia's individual stars,
Randolph and Johnson, had much to do
with her final victory. but as whole the
visiting aggregation seemed to be better
grounded in the principles of the game as
played under the new rules and. II any
thing better able to stand the grueling
incident to q long contest. When the
Georgetown players were fresh. both In the
first half and in the second. they carried
Joy into the home camp and appeared al
most to run the visitors off their feet. This
was true particularly in the first part of
the second half, when the home team re-
ceived the bad from the kickoff on their
own twenty-yard line and, by straight
foot ball, carried II back fully sixty yards
and earned four consecutive first downs.
At no other time in the game was either
team able TO gain so much ground as that
without losing the ball. The first half was
Just eighteen minutes old, with honors
about even. when Quarterback Randolph
received the ball from punt upon his own
ffty-yard Hne and eluded every George
town tackler between there and the coveted
goal line. moment late he kicked out to
johnson directly in front of the posts and
the goal from that position was easy.
Earlier In the half after Georgetown had
carried the oval well into the territory of
the enemy, Bocock tried to drop goai
from the field. but missed by wide mar
gin.
Just before the touchdown was scored
Randolph made a fair catch 2S yards from
the Georgetown line. but the subsequent
trial for a goal went outside the posts | Y
a few inches. The first half was almost
ended when Randolph and Johnson figured
In a daring forward pass which would have
Melted a touchdown but for beautiful
tackle by Bocock on the ten-yard line. In
that time of danger Georgetowns line
proved a veritable Gibraltar and on the
third down Randolph tried for goal from
t~,,s H. t.,,r -
Kerr dropped on it. The half ended with
the oval in Georgetown's possession on her
own twenty-yard line.
Good Offensive Work.
Georgetown stock went up many points
ut the beginning OF the second half and
Hoisson. Bocock and Kerr figured n a
series Of line plunges and end plays which
carried the ball far into the adversary s
territory. With three yards to go to make
Georgetown's fifth consecutive first down in
the half, Bocock tried an end run, but was
thrown for a loss and the oval went to slr-
gin!a her own thirty-yard line. Ran
dOlph punted out OF danger.
Nirginia's second touchdown was strik-
ingly similar to the first and Randolph was
again the hero of the occasion for he sprint
ed through most of the Georgetown team
and was thrown just after he crossed the
line at the extreme corner of the field
