The Washington herald., 1910-11-13
By A. NJ. JAMESON.

With an attack that slaslPd the
vaunted Virginia line into shreds
and a defense that never wavered,
that refused to crumble even before
the last desperate onslaughts of the
men from Charlottesville, George
town kicked and plunged and
smashed its way into victory yester-
day by the score Of Is to 0.
For nine years have the cohorts
of Georgetown waited, patiently
waited, for this proud event. and
they came into their reward yes
terday. Not since 1901 has George
town triumphed over Virginia, but
this dreary succession of defeats
was dazzingly halted and the tide
turned in the other direction.

for the present, at least, and wild.
defiant paeans of victory reigned
on her field as the carnage was in
progress.
COSTELLO 4 WONDER.
There was magic in that dashing
Georgetown offense; and, best Of all,
there was magic-pure masic-in the toe
OF her wonderful quarter back. Harry
Costello. who garnered nine Of the hf-
teen points by the simple process OF
aeroplaning the pigskin between the goal
posts. Three times he drOp-kicked bril-
Iiantly, once from the 45-yard line. and
thus enshrined himself in the Georgetown
han of fame.
Virginia was helpless throughout. Stub
born and plucky at first her spirit waned
as the contest progressed. her line
crumbled, her fighting strength was
sapped. She was routed on the old-fash-
ioned football basis. There was little

what there was OF it went sadly sstray
The forward pass became a joke.

and drop-kicked, and her magnificent at

executed each brilliant play. There was
a brass band TO help out. The Virginia
delegation seemed to be somewhat smaller
than usual. and her roofing was rather a
disappointment. She did not add much
TO the cubic volume of discord.
Georgetown wasted no time. She took
the ball after the first kick-off and her
feet backs were catapulted through huge
gaps in the Virginia line and circled the
ends in such precise. clean-eut fashion
that the enemy was bewildered. Kelley
and Furey were the leaders in this as
