team was not In the same class with
the Virginians, while the final period
put on the finishing touches in the
way of the sensations.
From the very first Virginia went
about her work with machinelike pre-
ciston, while the play OF the Tennes-
seeans was erratic and loose, showing
some strength on the defense but an
absolute absence of it on the offense
They were outclassad, as Rice War
rem stated after the game and but for
the one incident in the last quarter
would not have had chance to touch
the university goal.
Each team showed early in the
ga me that it placed a great deal of
trust In forward passes. Trust was
about all that was put in them, how
ever, for but few of the many which
We're attempted We're successful. Viz
gnia made the greatest number chief /
~ because they attempted the play thee
efterest. Their passes, though, We're
much superior to those OF the visitors,
both in the planning and the execu-
ton. and it was the best kind of de-
fenstve work which prevented a num-

tances In a beautiful spiral straight

Of way and it generally fell far
short of the man, or greatly to one
side Of him.

In punting the teams appeared to
be about even, Gooch displaying rare
Judgment throughout the game in
sending the ball into the unoccupied
corners of the field on low, hard to-
handle kicks Those receiving them
were more than once in difficulties.
and often the Virginia ends rushing
down the field fell on the ball ahead
OF them, and forced Vandy to take
the ball without having had chance
t. advance it, The Lemon and
Blacks punters sent their kicks high
and gave the ends plenty of time to
get down. This proved to be useful
as none Of the kicks were run back
for any great distances
Throughout the contest there were
good plays in number. but none OF
them were Of the sensational order !
The few forward passes completed
were usually for gains of from eight /
t. eighteen or twenty yards, while
the men who broke others up did so
by the best kind Of defensive foot /
bah work. A number of runs through .
the line and around the ends by the
Virginia backheld were for distances
OF about seventeen yards. There was
the fiercest kind of tackling both In
the open field, the line. and also be- .
hind the line. The interference of /
the Virginia eleven appeared con-
spicuously at intervals, and swept the .
opposing linesmen off their feet. al [
lowing the runner a good gain. 4

taking chances when they needed TO be /
taken and Tightening their defense to

work of Randolph stands clearly out, /
both because Of his preventing the Il
touchdown and his play throughout the
time he was in the game. He gained
considerable ground for the Orange and
Blue scored one Of its touchdowns and
took part in many tackles as well as
giving excellent Interference.
Bobbie Gooeh certainly deserves the
honorablenest kind of mention. Bob
