than once 1t was mussed up because the
ball carrier cut In too close to center.
On defense the Indians showed up with
rapacious energy. For the first three

and then they began to tear through like
demons, usually succeeding in stopping
plays before the men got under way.
Their most fragrant weakness. as men
toned above, was their characteristic
laziress, which late in the game cost
them q score and gave the Orange and
Blue players more than a couple of
openings through which to acquire COW
eted ground.
Virginia Punts Better.
Virginia excelled only ip punting.
Bowen's work in this department was
excellent, and the fact that the light
Virginia line was capable enough to keep
any OF his kicks from being blocked
speaks we'll for both the booter and his
teammates On punts the Indians were
penalized q couple of times for interfering
with the ends, and because of the con-
tinual mixing OF the players on the ex-
tremes OF both lines much OF the tackling
after kicks was done by men from the
middle OF the line
1t was In this respect that Pankey OF
Virginia blazed forth with wonderful bril-
lianey. He often was the man to down
the Indian catcher in his tracks. and the
constancy with which he got down Under
kicks did much to make punt exchanging
especially valuafs to the losers. II
Bowen had directed his punts somewhat
to the side he might have done even
more than he did for his team. as the
redskins were weaker in catching the
ball than in any other respect. Newashe,

more than they did. But 1t was the same
old story Of speedy backs on q muddy

Of the Orange and Blue out. the latter

impacts Of the big Carlisle tackles. who
often caught them before they were able
to get any kind OF footing in the sloppy
surface.
Game Very Clean.
The game was perfectly clean and well
run off. Very few injuries occurred on
either side, the Indians making five SUBJ
stitutions and Virginia only three. Ill
every case these were not at all neces-
sary on account of the physical condi-
ton of the men taken out. the shifts be-
ing made simply to give other players
chance to get into action.
With the exception that the field was
entirely too wet for a really classy ex-
hibition of the great fall sport the
weather conditions were all That could De
wished for. No sun was IN evidence TO
interfere with the men catching punts,
while only a slight breeze PLAYED IN the
upper airs above the park. The latter
part OF the battle came off in q slight
dusk, but at no time was this so intense
that the spectators were unable TO gam
a clear view of everything.
In all the spe ctators numbered between
1000 and 5000. The greater part Of these
were massed in the north stands. where
the Virginia supporters held forth with
their colors and cheers. Along the south
side line men stood five or six deep. the
greater part Of these seeming to be In
favor Of the Indians. Toward the end OF
the game the rope on this side OF the
field fell down. and the onlookers crowded.
up to the gridiron. with the result that
the playing had to be delayed for few
minutes until the crowd was again put
back. This was the only time that out
side influences interfered with the speedy
playing out Of the contest.
