Especial to The Richmond Virginfan.D
NORFOLK, VA. Nov. 27.--Cham-
pionship aspirations on the part OF
the Washington and Lee eleven re-
celved their death blow on the grid
iron at League Park this afternoon.
When the lowering clouds of a gloomy
afternoon settled over the field. in
triumph waved the red and blue PEN
ant of the North Carolina Agricultural
and Mechanical college. The bare
score of six to nothing does not near
tell the story Of what a trouncing the
Lexington Generals received at the
hands of the Down Homers.'
There was only one touchdown
made in the game and that went to
the credit OF a. and NJ. when Tenney.
the Agie fullback, rushed the ball
across the Washington and Leen goal
line a few minutes after the fourth
quarter began.
Their Hopes Wrecked.
That was the first time the WASH
ington ana Lee goal line had been
crossed this season. but It wrecked all
homes the Lexingtonians had of max
ing claim for the Middle Atlantic foot
ball title. While the Aggies did not
score until the closing period they
outplayed their opponents in every
quarter but the first and drew an
even break In that.
Confident of winning by at least
touchdown margin, the Washington
and Lee eleven was literally swept
off it's feet by the fierceness or the
Aggies' attack. In turn, the wnlto
and blue Generals found their nlgnly
touted hackheld was powerless to

her Of first down made by the two
teams, the score should have been az
least Is to 0 in favor of Agricultural

That such was not the ultimate re-
suit was due TO the stubborn resistance

Old Fashion Football.
From a football standpoint the game
was rather lacking. Both teams relied
almost entirely on straight football.

After the first quarter. IN which
Washington and Lee had its best chance
+ to score, the play was practically In the
Virginians territory all the time ana

team There were few fumbies In the
game. but many penalties. In viola

Several times the Tarheeis were set
back ffteen yards for holding and IN
each OF these instances the penalty cost
them dear as they were generally with

What Statistics Show.
I Just how completely the Agktes
outclassed the Generals. a summary
of the work shows. A. and NJ. MADE
eighteen arst downs as compared with
three for Washington and Lee All Of
those of the losers came in the open
ing period while the yictors dtstrt-
buted theirs as follows: Four in the
FIRST. three IN the second. four in the
third. and seven in the last quarter.
The Aggies carried the ball ter II total
of s3t yards. while Washington and
Lee totaled only seventy. Washington
and Lee kicked for distance OF 21O
wards, and A. and NJ. for 1850 This
was due to the fact that after tho
opening period the Generals were on
1.-The defensive kicking because the
Down homer line was holding like g
concrete wall.
Neither team did much around the
end, for the fiankers on both sides
were exceptionally good. and seldom
allowed their ends to be skirted for
appreciate gains.
