VIRGINIA PROTESTS BYRD
GeOrgetown's Team Loses It's Star
Quarter Back.
One-yeRr Rule Sustained by Blue and
for Virginia.

Coach BIZ Newman. Of Georgetown,
gave his charges a short practice yes
terday afternoon.
Excitement over the coming game with
Virginia, is running high, and this week
Will be devoted TO mass meetings at the
different departments Of the Hilltop
school The fact that Georgetown held
the strong Fordham TO a o 20 tie, has
added a lot Of confidence to the followers
OF the Blue and Gray team, and they
look for a victory over Virginia next
Saturday. despite the fact that she has
beaten tho Navy and played Lehigh TO
a close score. Not since the two schools
have resumed relations. has Georgetown
had such q chance to trim her rival, as
she viii have this year. and a great
game may be looked for. Should the
HnltOppers win, It would be the first
time that she has conquered the Orange
and Blue, since that memorable contest
in 1901. when she won the game in the
last minute by the close score OF II to
lG
There has been a big change IN the
lineup Of the Hilltoppers, necessitated
by the disquaHfying Of Byrd from the
game against Virginia Bin Sitterding.
who played quarter last year, has been
shifted from end TO his old position.
while Capt. Stuart will be at the ex-
tremity Of the line. There has existed
a one-year code between Georgetown and
Virginia. namely, that a man has to be
IN school one year before playing on a
varsity team, when he played on an
other varsity the year previous.
Virginia protested Byrd on the ground
Of the one-year rule and the protest has
been sustained
OF course Georgetown Will lose a star
in Byrd. and the team will be much
weakened. but the Hilltoppers are max
ing the best Of &c, and are not in any way
discouraged, as TO the outcome Of the
battle next Saturday.
officials for the big game have not been
selected as Yet, but representatives of
Georgetown and Virginia win meet IN
this city some time this week, and set

which no other punter has done this

and repeated gains right through the
Navy line.
Tho Midshipmen made many more
yards from scrimmage than the visitors

CORNELL is EASY PICKING
Harvard Eleven Rolls Up Score Of
Is to 0.
IthacanS Manage to Make but Two
Gains-CrimsOn Slips Up on
Forward Pass.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 6-In a game
marred by much fumbling Harvard de-
feated Cornell to-day by the score OF IS
20 0. At no time was the Crimson's goal
line threatened and the visitors rarely
made first down The costly fumbling OF
Harvard cost her many yards loss. The
most sensational play was executed by
Cornell IN a triple pass that Melted them
% yards. Baker, after running 10 the
right with the ball. passed It back TO
Simpson. who IN turn passed It to Tyde-
man. who as the Harvard line was
drawn over, sent the ball sailing 10 the
left over their heads 20 the lone left
end.
Harvard's tactics were about the same
as were used IN the West Point game,
no new formations were tried, and to-
ward the end Of the second half many
substitutes were used. Several forward
passes were tried by O'Flaherty. but
none was successful Three distinct
times. when Harvard had the ball within
striking distance the pass from O'Flaher-
~ 10 Fish was sent over the big captain
head and a possible touchdown was lost
The work In Harvard's back field on
defense was characterized by the same
nervousness on handling punts that has
been shown In previous games. Both
OFIaherty and II. Smith showed a ten
dency to tuggle and misjudge the ball
Corneu's line at times showed great
strength on defense, but their work on
the offense had no telling effect with the
exception Of one time when they pierced
the Crimson forwards for a gain Of 10
yards.
