burg News of Sunday as special
from Charlottesville:
Washington and Lee gave Vir-
ginia a big surprise to day, de-
feating the Orange and Blue, 6 to
5, after a hard fight.
Neither SIDE was able to score in
the first half, hJnors being about
even, with neither goal being in
danger. At the opening of the
second half, however, things be-
gan to look blue fer Virginia,
Brown got around right end for II
so yard run, and shortly thereaf-
ter Cosby fumbled punt, which
Waddill gathered up on VirginIa's
2O-yard linz. Anderson failed at
goal from placement.
Near the middle of the half the
tide turned and Virginia began II
march on her 80 yard line, which
ended In touchdown, Wexford
carrying the hall over after re-
ceiving forward psss on Virgin
las Is yard line. Capt, Nef
failed at goal.
Not until within three minutes
of tie end of the second half did
Washington and Lee cincb the
game. Hoge, who had been snt-
stituted OF center, blocked "a kick
v hich Capt. Nef lrled 30 get off
standin. behind his own goal
post. A Washington and Lee
player fell on the ball within Vlr-
ginia's 5.ynrd line, and in three
attempts Anderson was pushed
over the line for tcuct down.
IRE same player booted the ball
between the posts, thus winning
the contest.
Honaker, Vlrgiriu's brilliant
quarter back, was injured in the
first half, end was forced to re-
tire. On the kick off at the open
lug of the first half he caught the
bail ard ran IS yards before he
gas dpwned. Cosby, who was
sent in in his place, handled punts
in miserable form, and Byrd, wh0
:ucc5 eded him, did little better.

up a superb game, and STREET.,
Brown, and Anderson did some
coed ground gaining. WaddIll
