Charlottesville Contingent Look
!, ed to Be Sure Winners Next
Saturday.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Virginia will win from Georgetown
next Saturday by a decisive score. un-
less all signs fail. The poor work of
the Hilltoppers against West Virginia
Wesleyan shows that the coaches
hardly have sufficient time left to whip
the varsity eleven into shape for their
foes from Charlottesville. If George
town wins next Saturday at the Hill
top. It will be almost by a miracle.

Wesleyan showed itself possessed of

town from tackle to tackle and con-
siderably heavier at the ends and in the
backfield. The forwards, particularly
Kellison at right tackle, outplayed their
opponents, stopping off-tackle plays
with ease and upsetting dives into the
middle OF the line as though in fun.
The wesleyan players were experienced
and sturdy. They knew enough de-
fensivs football to spoil anything
GEORGETOWN attempted, and they won
because they showed the best forward
passing seen in this city in several
seasons.
The brilliant forward passes Of Nor
rison and Stansbury settled the re-
suit of the game. Stansbury thought
nothing of hurting the ball forty yards
into the waiting arms of Neale, the big
right end. Neale thought nothing of
galloping down the field for from twen-
ty to fifty yards at iaunt. George
