Many residents Of the National Capital
who happened to be downtown last night
wondered IL another election had been
held yesterday. But they soon Were put
straight in their guessing as to the iden-
tity of the bowling mobs parading the
streets when they were informed that the
Georgetown University foot ball team had
defeated the eleven from the University
of Virginia yesterday afternoon by
score OF 15 to on the Georgetown field.
Until yesterday only three times In the
history of athletic relations between the
two universities had Georgetown won
from Virginia in foot ball. The last vic
tory was gained In 1901, when in a never
to-be-forgotten contest the Blue and Gray
team came back In the last half and
scored IL points, overcoming a lead OF
16 to o. The outcome of this game caused
breach between the schools. owing to
a statement published in a Virginia pa
per controlled by the university. Ath-
letic relations. however, were resumed In
1903, and since that time until yesterday
the Old Dominion team had always come
out on top
In fact. until yesterday Georgetown had
ginia team in the last four years. This
was In 1907, when a touchdown and goal
were made against twenty y-seven points
for the southerners.
The strength of the Blue and Gray team
this season had been heralded broadcast
for the last three weeks. 1t has shown
decided strength in every contest this
season. and as a result the largest crowd
was on hand when the whistle blew for
the first kick-of.
Stands Fill Up EARLY.
The gates were thrown open shortly BE-
fore o'clock and by the time the two
teams arrived on the field both stands
were packed and the. front aisles were
filled. The followers OF Virginia, who
came from Charlottesville and other Vir-
ginia cities Friday night and yesterday
morning, together with alumni from
northern points and this city, were massed
dents and alumni Of the Old Dominion
university represented, but their wives,
sisters and sweethearts were in attend
ance. A distinctive feature of the en-
side Of the field was that each woman
and girl wore large yellow chrysantheA
mum and carried a banner as the en-
blem Of Virginia.
The students from Charlottesville who
came to this city to witness the game
were massed in the center of the east
stand. completely surrounding their stu
dent band. Together with the yells and
songs OF the students. the band rendered
popular airs throughout the contest in an
effort to encourage the players.
On the west stand another mass OF
humanity was standing throughout the
contest. Until half hour before the
teams ran out on the field a large section
of the Georgetown stand was vacant, but
this was due to the late arrival of the
law school students. who marched to
the grounds In body.
Law Students March to Field.
With band of twenty pieces the law
school students assembled at their build
ing on e street at 1890 o'clock. With
a "Hoya! Hoya! Saxav' by the 400 or
more students, the march to the grounds
was begun. The band struck up a lively
tune to which the marchers sang a
parody. This was kept up all along ths
route to the West End field. When they
reached the grounds with the band lead
ing, the students marched around the
field playing, What's the Matter With

to accommodate the "rooters." The en-
bankment to the north OF the field was
packed, while many persons who came
to the field in autos were forced TO

same colors as the pig. They have
been seen upon the Georgetown field
before. In fact, the transportation OF

things looked after by the Virginia
team. AS they rambled up and down
the east side line the Virginia followers
while photographers kept them busy
posing for snapshots. "Snow Ball" and
the shoat, however. were not equal to
the mascot task OF bringing victory to
the southern team, and ii was declared
by many at the close OF the contest
that something more original will be
sprung next year, I'm the hope or turn

As a mascot Georgetown had the four
year-old son Of Trainer Joe Quirk. who
