with Virginia defeated Georgetown
rests content If every other eleven
in a campaign were victorious over
the Blue and Gray and only Vir-
ginia were beaten, the Hilltoppers
would chuckle with elee. so today they
are chuckling, forgetting those other
defeats, remembering only their tri-
umph over the sons of the Old Do
minion.
Georgetown deserved its victory from
every viewpoint. Going into the con-
test on the short end of 1O-to-6 betting,
they held the heavier Virginia eleven
helpless for one-half, smeared its run

effectually, forced 1t back closer and
closer to its goal line, and, finally, in
a marvellous spurt compelled Ray TO
make a safety, swinging the verdict OF
fate from the Virginia team TO the
Blue and Gray; Georgetown bad pro-
duced the goods.
Virginia failed dismally to show the
qualities claimed for it. On its per
formances in other games Virginia
should have displayed an open game. a
