make material gains.
Anderson Makes Feeble Punt.
The failure on the part of Nc
Whorter exhausted Georgia's last
hope at rushing, and Anderson boot
ed rather feebly to Gillette, who gal
loped back to Georgia's 28-yard line.
Halfback Ray ripped off four yards
past tackle, and Virginia began laying
plans for the play that brought home
the bacon.
A formation that resembled the po-
sition assumed for a punt effected.
Gooch dropped back, and when the
ball was snapped both ends tore down
the field, widening out toward the
side lines. White appeared to have
the better chance of the two, and the
visiting quarterback pegged true into
the anxious mitts of Mr.. White, who
was some three yards short If the
line, by a Georgia tackler. Ray
showed bit Of real drive on the next
play by tearing through the center OF
, the Georgia line for the final touch
down.
Virginians Lay for McWhorter.
Exactly three minutes and fifty-six
seconds remained to play after this
touchdown was registered. Georgia
received the kickoff, and straightway
in which he was calling on every
Georgia man to give McWhorter an
opportunity of tearing into an open
field. However, the Virginians We're
laying for everything of such ma
ture, no doubt figuring that Georgia
was relying solely on getting Nc
Whorter into the open at this juno
ture. Big Bob never had a chance.
The opposition We're doping his stuff
correctly, and they were covering up
accordingly, The final whistle blew
with the ball in Virginia's possession
OH Georgia's 3O-yard line.
From the spectators standpoint, it
would have been hard to figure out a
more interesting game, had some
master hand been operating the plays
from a switchboard. Both teams re-
sorted to forward passing, and with
considerably more success than is US
ually attendant on this mode of at
tack. Virginia scored first with a
pass Georgia made the second mar
ker with a play almost identical, and
very near the same point. The final
touch was added when Gooch pegged
perfect pass to White which placed
the bail on Georgia's 3-yard line, from
where it was carried across.
In this case the word "pegged" is
used advisedly. The Virginia quar-
terback shot the pigskin with all the
precision of Jeems Archer cutting off
runner at second with one of his
famous crouching throws. If any
rise to call attention to the fact that
the bah didn't sail with speed of an
Archer peg, We offer in rebuttal the
fact that it hit the bulls eye, which
is about all Mr.. Archer is asked to
do, when he cuts the horse hide loose
in the general direction of the mid
way cushion.
Furthermore, the game was re-
splendent with nice open-fleld run
ming on both sides. Mayer Landes,
Gooch and Ray did great work at
| times for the visitors, while Nc
Whorter, logan, Paddock and Powell
showed real football ability at ad-
vancing the ball on repeated occa-
Sions.
McWhorter was the main attrac-
ton from a Georgia standpoint, as
had been anticipated. Big Bob got
by for several nice gains. and on more
than one occasion would have given
Georgia supporters additional oppOr>
tunity for exercising their lungs but
for the fact that treacherous footing
betrayed him Then, too the Vir-
| ginians knew of his prowess, and
were careful to avoid allowing him
| an opportunity to set sail down the
! field under a full head Of steam.
Bob Gooch in lrellght.
For the visitors. Quarterback Bob
Gooch did the most brilliant work
This fellow displayed a faculty of
pitching the other fellow off his bal
ance by making feint in one direc-
ton and then heading off to the OPP
posite side. He appears able TO do
neat balancing stunt on either foot,
with the ability to get up great speed
to either flank in an instant.
But for the fact that the game stood
tie until less than four minutes of
play remained, Georgia supporters
would no doubt be congratuiating
| themselves on the fact that the husky
visitors had to go like mad TO get the
decision. However. it is no more than
natural that they should feel a slight
pang OF regret that some Georgia man
did not edge in between White ana
the sailing oval on that fatal pass
They have, however, no cause for re-
greet. They fought gamely, and lost
yaliantly.
Wahoo on Job.
The game was ably handled by
Wahoo, of Carlisle, in the capacity of
