foot ball relations the Virginia Military
Institute defeated the University Of Vir-
ginia today by the score of 10 to D.
The outcome was decided surprise to
the Charlottesville lads. as they went into
the battle confident of winning.
The Cadets played throughout with an
aggressive spirit that had the better of
the Orange and Blue boys in every de-
partment of the game. In following the
ball and recovering on Virginia's fumbles
they showed up particularly WE'LL .!any
times throughout the contest the Lexing-
ton boys took advantage of Virgtnia's
weakness in holding the oval and profited
thereby.
With the ball in it's possession Virginia
seemed unable to gain ground enough to
put 1t anywhere near V. NJ. LIS danger
zone. Only once did Virginia come near
scoring and that was at the beginning of
the second half. However. a forward pass
failed and Virginias only chance was
lost.
The whole V. NJ. l. team played tril-
liant foot ball. though Moore outshone all
the ball for long gains. Lowry and Hich-
ards. the Cadet ends. displayed great
form in getting down on punts, downing
their man time and again in his trac s.

For Virginia, Capt. Todd played the
best game by far. His work throughout
was deserving of a more favorable result.

the man. Brown. VINO succeeded Farrow

to Lowry on v. NJ. Is 4O-yard line. On

center of Virginias line and raced to
the iatter's 35-yard line. successive fum-
bles by both teams gave Moore an oppor-

cred by Harris. for Virginia; in mid
