Running Spectacular-Visit-

The plucky little st. Johns team held
the bulkier Georgetown eleven down to
two touchdowns yesterday, but three
1ie.I goals by Harry Costello brought
the totals up to a respectable figure, the
score being 20 to O. Outweighed at every
position, st. Johns electrified the crowd
by Its sturdy defense. and its speed on
end runs. 1t kept its heavier opponent
bewildered most Of the time.
From the start Georgetown carried
the ball to within the shadow of st.
Johns goal posts. only to allow Cos
tello to boot one of his field goals. The
Blue and Gray backfield had little
trouble in gaining. particularly Fury,
whose running was excellent. The first
three scores were field goals by Costello.
georgetown used straight formations,
hiding its best plays from the eyes OF
the Virginia and Army scouts on the
side lines. AS a result 1t became very
difficult to register touchdowns on St.
Johns. Frequently kicks were blocked

The final period found the light eleven
from Annapolis firing, and fresh men
going into the Blue and Gray lineup

team fought hard, but superior weight
and strength was too much for them to
combat.

Army its score. The visitors once got
to within six inches Of the Army goal,
after they had carried the ball from
midfield by two pretty forward passes
and line plays that netted them steady
gains, and it looked as If the Army's s
clean slate would be spoiled. Under the
shadow of their goal posts, however,
the soldiers braced and took the ball.
Poor handling of punts by 'Lehigh
gave the Army a chance for one of its
drop kicks which Keyes scored, and
when Paggett misjudged MacDonald's s
punt Hoge bore down upon the ball and
gathered II in for a touchdown.

BLUE AND GRAY Is
WEAK IN VICTORY
Players Show Lack of Rudmentary knowledge in St.
Johns Game-Tackling Poor, Interference Weak,

BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Georgetown's victory over the light
eleven from st. Johns, by score of y
to 0, should not be taken as promising
The exhibition OF football shown by the
Hilltoppers was far from good. Take
Costello's field goals from the total and
eliminate the individual running OF
Tug" Fury and the score would hardly
have equaled Virginia's against the same
team. The second touchdown was the
result Of fresh players opposing light
lads, who had borne the brunt Of the
attack from the start.
Such miserable handling Of kicks as
shown by the Blue and Gray backfield
cannot be excused. Several times they
lost the ball to St. Johns because of
their inability to fall on the bounding
leather. A similar exhibition against
West Point, Virginia or Lehigh and all
hopes of victory will fly.
Magner may have been acting under
instructions IN not trying for touch
downs in the first period. As 1t was.
the line held we'll enough for Costello
to drop three field goals. The third,
however, was a freak kick, just carry
ing over the bar. Failing to rush the
ball, unless ordered, savored of weak
ness.
Center Trio Outplayed.
Though many pounds heavier than St.
Johns the Blue and Gray center trio
were outplayed. Welsh was through to
make beautiful tackles a number OF
times, and he and GLADDEN. took turns

VIRGINIA DOUBTS
CHANCES TO WIN
Old Dominion Supporters Not So Confident as in Other
Years-Team Has Spirit, But Lacks
Weight in Line.
BY THOMAS KIRBY.

Expectancy best describes the feeling
at Charlottesville over the football game
that will be played at Georgetown Field
on November IS.
Following the setback of last fall,
there Is lacking among Virginia men
that unanimity Of opinion of other years
that Georgetown would be beaten, and
the student body IL today divided on
the question of whether their team will
be able to turn back their ancient
rivals.
This Is not to be taken that the play
ers and coaches have given up hope, but
the undergraduates feel that their team
this time Is largely an experiment. and
that It will take at least another year
Of refinement to bring 1t UP to the
standard Of other Virginia elevens.
Virginia's present team can best be
described by saying that 1t is a good
light aggregation. Graduation robbed
the squad of most of its most valuable
members, and the runner-up on George
town for first honors last autumn has
now but four Of its 1910 regulars as a
nucleus. Seven freshmen started against
the much-feared v. M. I. team yester-
day, but so we'll had they been drilled
by Head Coach Yancy and the gradu-
ateJ who have come to his assista nee
from time to time, that they defeated
their opponents from Lexington even
cate.
Plays With Spirit.
Like most young outfits, the Virginia
team plays with a world Of spirit, and
may be classed as a real fighting ma
chine. although there are still many
rough spots that must be ironed out
before the men will be ready for their
two tests-Georgetown here and North
Carolina at Richmond Thanksgiving
Day.

and, while the services of Honaker and
Driver will be missed. their SUCCESSORS
appear to possess enough ability to
the line can be brought up to the
proper strength to give the quartet be-
hind a chance to catch their speed.
Last November Georgetown's ripping
line was through before the quarter
could feed the ball to the man behind
him. with the result that there was

Nirginia's offense from the outset. To
correct this weakness special stress is

the season nearly a dozen men whose

football history, Will spend from two
days to week teaching the candidates
the finer features OF line play.

Virginia has not yet recovered. and

ers to kick toward the sidelines these
days. thus rendering long return runs
and possible attempts at field goals null
and void.
Lacks Fundamentals.
The Georgetown eleven lacks a knowl-
edge Of the rudiments Of football. Until
the ends and secondary defense know
how to tackle low, until the backs learn
how to make interference that Is inter-
ference. until the men in the backfield
learE how to recover fumbled punts,
the team cannot expect to make a good
showing against an eleven OF Its own
weight. Such games as that of yestsr-
day are deluding and mean little.
Georgetown has plenty OF good ma:
eager to get into the game. Three
weeks will elapse before the Virginia
game-three weeks Of preparation. Un-
lees the team Is taught the fundainent-
ais Of the game. they may receive the
surprise OF their lives when they face
Virginia.
Browns Only Honor.
Browns defeat. so overwhelming. at
the hands of tho Crimson. comes with
startling suddenEess. The team which
humbled Fem sc decisivcly could do
little with the big Harvard forwards.
A forward pass made the lone touch
down Of the Brunonians possible. At all
other times Harvard was master of the
situation. Brown gets one honor-that

goal line.
Penn State old 1t. Pennsylvania
dropped low when 1t could not do bet
ter thar score one touchdown on the
State eleven. The Rcd and Blue seems
due for a bad-a very bad-season.
Princeton had little trouble with Holy
Cross, lettering the recent score made
by Harvard against the Worcester
collegians, and now the Tiger coaches
are hopeful CT success when Harvard
visits Princeton next Saturday.
Virginia showed real class in its glori-
Gus victory over Virginia Military In

, that has ever worn the Orange and
Blue, and the coaches are making no
pretense to cover the fact that It is
rpon speed that they are depending to
overcome the handicap of lack OF
weight.
Joe Wood, who was elected captain as
soon as the team was robbed by mar
riage of the services Of Captain Bowen,
Is one of the best light centers ever seen
In these parts. At Episcopal High

Hopkins game at Baltimore is expect
ed to prove grueling. Then come the

Virginia desires to win.
Plays Kept Hidden.
Excepting against the Indians, the
Georgetown players have not been fore
ed to extend themselves in any of their
games, SO Virginia cannot have much
knowledge of the style OF play upon
which the Blue and Gray will depend
in the remaining contests, although ac-
tive alumni saw the West Enders run
away with Richmond College, and 9TH
ers were at Georgetown Field yesterday
to see what they could see against St.
Johns. That they obtained much valu-
able data is to be doubted, as George
town played only the most simple sort
Of football
On November IS Georgetown will have
a marked advantage in weight, and will
! be greatly favored by having an older,
! more experienced, and regular eleven
than will come UP here from Charlottes-
Vile.
With Virginia the real problem is how
much football the graduate coaches can
crowd into the brain and body of the
squad that at present numbers about
forty men.
There is plenty Of spirit and willing
ness among the candidates. but how
finished a team can be produced within
the next month only time can tell 1t is
probable difference in the teams in the
matter Of points.
