In Its Infancy.
FARMERS FORCED
TO TAKE UP ARMS
Organized Band, Headed by
Boer, Has Already Achiev-
ed Success in Small
Attacks.

LONDON, Nov. l0.-The govern
ment is greatly disturbed by the
reports received here OF a threat
ened uprising in the TransYaai.
While IL is not admitted officially
that the movement is more than
sporadic, the war Office is keeping
in close touch with the authorities
in Cape Town, and it is said in
weil-informed circles that vigorous
steps have been planned 10 nip at
the outset any attempt to set up,
a revolution.
According to the latest advices
received from South Africa, the pres
ent disturbance is headed by a Boer
named Ferreira, who is operating
in the northwestern portion of the
colony, where he has already achieved
some small successes, and where he
is compelling the BOeT farmers to-
take UP arms and join his forces.
Ferreira has sent word broadcast
that a revolution is at hand, and
has called on all Boer sympathizers
to arm at once.
Re-enfoTcements for Leader
FerTeira has been in German South
west Africa and is little known. The
first heard OF his present movement was
several days ago. when he entered the
Transvaal with a small band Of armed
followers. He attacked a police camp
in British territory, and after wounding
two Of the police and driving the others
away he seized a quantity of arms.
Since that time he has received a con-
siderable reinforcement ~ men. Mount
ed police have been sent in pursuit OF
him. and troops may follow.

Virginia came, played, and conquered
and GeorgetOwn's cOlOrs were trailed in
the dust on Georgetown Field yesterday
afternoon when the old rivals met on
the gridirOn for the first time in five
years. When darkness settled over the
grimy. weary players and the cheering
crowds, the score stood u 10 in favor
OF the Orange and Blue The sting
which the defeat Of 1901 a the hands Of

game had left in every virginian's
heart had been deadened.
The names of Oscar Randolph and
Johnson. the fast. hard running left

Randolph and Johnson were the life OF
VIrginia's attack yesterday.
Randolph il was who scored both
touehdowns. one on a marvellous 6O-yard
run through the whole Georgetown
team, and the other on a 35-yard dash
which his quickness in seeing a hole in
the line and taking advantage OF it.
made possible. Johnson's reputation as
a speedy back is not new. but yester-
day, although he went into the game
in poor physical condition. he was the
most consistent ground gamer Virginia
had. and he invariably responded with
good gain when Randolph called on
him.
Blue and Gray's GameneSs.
But though Georgetown was beaten
IL was not an inglorious defeat The
Blue and Gray put up hard game.
There was no let down, and with the
disheartening score Of u to against

again and again in a vain effort to cross
Virginia's goal line. Bocock. Hodgson.
Kerr. and his successor. Grogan. fought
their way through and over the Vfr-
ginia line for substantial gains. fought
their way 10 within easy striking dis
lance or the coveted line in the final
minutes or play. But their effort came
too late. and as the attack weakened
Virglnia's defense grew stronger
Georgetown lost the ball on Virginia's
5-yard line. and their last chance to
score was gone.
Too much cannot be said of Cantair
Bocock's work for the Blue ana GRAY
He was everywhere on the defense. his
taekling was clean and hard. And on
the onense II was he who carried the

on smoothly and quickly.
Crippled Kerr Consistent.
Kerr, with his bandaged hand. was
the most consistent ground gamer for
Georgetown. He bored his way through
the Virginia line time and again for
eight. ten. and twenty yards. These
were the men who, with Hodgson. car
