of 90 to o.
Special to The Times Dispatch


Orange. Va. October 2S.-In thirty
six minutes OF actual play Woodbury.
Forest defeated Fredericksburg College
in football this afternoon by the score
of 20 to 0. Even the most sanguine
supporters of the home team had not
hoped for SO large score. as neither
Richmond College nor Randolph Macon
was able to cross Fredericksburg goal
line this season.
In the first quarter Woodbury. made
two touchdowns Its sterling back
field, Tanner, Walker, Simonds and N.
Carter. gained ground almost at will.
The visitors did better in tho next
quarter. but after the intermission
Woodberry made another touchdown.
and in. tho final period OF play Stmonds
kicked field goal.
fredericksburg was unable to make
first down single time. This weak
ness in offense may have been due in
part to the absence of two OF her star
players Mills and Carter. Smith and
Cheney were good on tho defense. The
entire Woodbury. team played with
unusual dash and vim. r. Carter and
Duncan would often break through the
line and throw the runner for loss.

Roanoke. Va. October 2S.-After
years of decisive defeat at the hands
of the strong eleven from the vir-
ginla Polytechnic Institute, the to
tie score OF this afternoon perches al
most like victory on the banners
of the Washington and Lee team. Not
Iincc 1907 has the Blue and White
team put men in the field who were
able to Withstand the heavy assault,
of the Tech machine.
That game played in Lynchburg
would have resulted in tic. but for a
nuke on which the Orange and Maroon
scored. That was time. too. when
the Techs were clearly outplayed, and
would have lost despite the fluke, had
II not been for the wonderful kicking
Of fIodgson.
To-day, from the spectators view
point, the teams were evenly matched
in punting ability, and while WASH
ington and Lee probably had the best
OF the weight, there was little ad
vantage in favor of either eleven. The
day was an ideal one for football.
Washington and Lee and the V. p.
j. divisions of the srandstand were
crowded with supporters of the re-
spcctive teams, while the bleachcrs
at the right were well filed with
crowds of lusty rootcrs. From a dis
tancc, the srandstand presented a
pretty sight. 1t was a mass of Blue
and White and Orange and Macon
pcnnants and tho source or louI and
prolonged cheering.
To the right sat tho Washington and
Ice contlngent with a band, which
continually played those strains famil-
lar and we'll loved by the students
and alumni of the institution.
On tho opposite side sat tho V. L. /.
supporters. no less enthusiastic in
songs and college yelis, which sent
the team on to renewed efforts. The
referees whistle blew soon after .
o'clock.
V. p. scored first, making u touch
down at the end OF the second quarter
on a short end run by f. Lcgge. The
ball was carried to the extreme right
of the Gridron, and while the punt
out was good. f Leggc missed putting
it between the uprights.
Washington aud Lee crossed the
Tech. goal line in the first minute of
the play in the last quarter. They
took the ball on the cadet ten-yard
line and with forward pass from
Slater to Francis placed the pigslsin
behind the line. on the left side of the
field. Slater kicked it to Miles, who
fumblcd on "a bad punt, thus losing
tho chance at goal.
The work of Webster and Miles. for
Washington and Ice, was brilliant.
while Gibbs andE. Leggc were the dis
tinGuished players for the Techs.
