CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Dec. o.
With a record Of not having lost
game and of having her goal line crossed
but once Chat time BY a f1uke), the
University Of Virginia lays claims not
only 70 the football championship OF the
South Atlantic states for the season OF
1865. but Of the entire South as well
There is at one team that can seri-
ously dispute the Southern title with
Virginia. ana that is the University OF
Louisiana But Virginia refuses to
recognize Louisiana's claim, as it openly
alleged that Louisiana used al least I'VE
ringers" throughout the season.
Virginia had one OF the very best
teams in her history, especially az the
close Of the season. The hnal game
with North Carolina was easily won by
a score OF 81 to 0. Twenty-Five points
were scored in the first half, while the
second period was played largely with
subs in the lineup.
Mercy, G. N. u. Sixth
ignoring Louisiana the Southern teams
are ranked as follows:
Virginia, first
Sewsnee, second,
Vanderbilt, third.
Auburn, fourth.
A. and n, fifth.
George Washington. sixth
Y. =. l. seventh
Georgetown, eighth
North Carolina, ninth
Tennessee. tenth.
It Is extremely difficult to accurate
~ place the teams in the South this
year. The plan of following compare
tive scores leads the football enthusiast
almost ln a circle. Sewanee and ViT-
ginia played a ECGreless game early IN
the season. while the contest between
