Virsinia's defensive play was good. A
less formidable defense would never have
withstoOd the Onslaughts of Georgetown.
Georgetown made gains, but they were
we'll earned. Every effort to go through
their opponents line was met with the
most stubborn opposition.
But superior skill and strength eventu-
ally told. though it was not to the dis
credit for Virginia to have been forced
to go down before the well directed and
concerted blows which Georgetown dealt
her lines.
But it was the effective kicking Of goal
from field by Costello who, on three
out of four occasions scored points for
his team by this play, which dealt the
execution was perfect, and when the
fact is taken into consideration that q
strong wind was sweeping the field it
is nothing short of marvellous that he
succeeded as he did.
While 1t was thought that Georgetown
would have an advantage on Virginia In
the kicking department. neither
Wymard or Fury were able to boot the
ball as consistently as Bowen. The V1r-
ginia end accomplished some of the long
est punts seen on the local gridiron this
year in the second period when he had
the wind at his back.
During the entire period of play Vir-
ginia gained first downs but once, show
ing clearly the superiority Of George
towns defense. Their forward passes
were all Intercepted and their fast backs
were smothered before they reached the
line Of scrimmage.
The game did not display much of the
so-called new foot ball. 1t was played as
have been the struggles in the past, the
old game being constantly In evldehce.

Enthusiasm Galore.
AS is always the case when Georgetown
and Virginia meet, that indescribable
something which is known as cole ge
spirit was very much in evidence. Lined
up on the two sides of the gridiron were
the followers of the two teams
On the west side were the Georgetown
adherents while the Virginia roOters &C.
cupied the seats and all available. space on
the east side. With banners and colOrs
displayed and bands playing college airs.
intermingled with the college yells and
songs, the field presented a scene long TO
be remembered.
Long before the time for the play to
open rolled around the followers of the
two teams were trying to Guido one an
Georgetown students paraded the field
while Virginia's followers sang and gave
their yells Then the followers of each
team cheered the other, but as the game
progressed and the defeat of Virginia
seemed inevitable gloom spread over the
eastern side OF the field. for it was ap-
parent that Georgetown had scored a
victory long yearned for, after a continu-
Gus defeat, barring the few falls the
team did not meet, since 1901.
The Game in Detail.

Capt. Daily, trotted out on the field and
