White Feature.
Whites strong defensive play behind
the line was a feature Of Georgetown's
game. The big fellow blocked up holes
everywhere, hurting his man to the
ground for no gain time and time again.
His tackling was deadly. and he did
not hesitate in going out to the ends
for needed work.
Perhaps. the most remarkable game
was that of Captain Daley. He was
facing Virginias strongest forward,
Garter, and Daley took care Of his
man neatly from beginning to end. To
those who believed him a possible weak
place in the Blue and Gray line, 1t was
a welcome surprise to see him block
ing up plays aimed at him, digging his
way through and stopping Tommy Todd
before he could get started, and flying
down the field under the well-placed
punts of Harry Costello. Frequently
the Virginia back slipped away from
Bergen or Hegarty only, to fall a

sion like a thoroughbred, and played
varsity football from beginning to end;
The generalship of Sitterding stood
team in the first half. He completely
fooled his opponents by using new foot
ball when they expected the old
fashioned line-plunging game. His de-
fensive work was excellent, also .
Todd Is Brilliant.
Virginia's one briliancy was Tommy"
Todd. Great things had been expected
Of him. He came to Georgetown with
reputation to sustain. He sustained
it. even gaining IN the respect in which
he will be held in the future. Ad-
mittedly handicapped by the heavy 60
ing, Todd was the one man who could
gain ground. He vas slippery as an
eel on the ends. and now and then
made his distance inside Of tackle.

work of Bergen. HeGarty; Hart. Wy

Costello's Was Better.
Costellos kicking was better placed.
He sent MANY Of them outside. thus
preventing any return runs. He gave
his ends chances to get under them
and they were not slow to take advan-
tage Of this either. They were always
racing Hart and Daley down and
