where the Vanderbilt and Virginia
teams clash here Saturday afternoon
in a battle that VIII prove one of
the fiercest of the season and have
a direct bearing on the champion
ship OF the South.
Vanderbilt and Virginia have met
on the gridiron but four times. Three
OF these engagements were all within
the space of four seasons. previous
to 1899, and the fourth occurred last
fall. at Nashville Their opening en-
colunter. which was played In Atlanta
during the Cotton States Exposition
in 1895. resulted in one touchdown
each. but as Virginia kicked a goal
and the Commodores failed. the
Orange and Blue was returned victor
The next mix-up between the teams
occurred in Nashville in Decem ber
1897, being paSt-season affair, that
resulted in no scoring on either side
The third game, though. was all Viz
ginia's and a score of 90 10 0 attest
ed probably the true relative merits
of the two squads. which met in
Louisville in 1898. In November of
last year McGuggin's squad won by
two touchdowns over Virginia, which
presented a badly battered team. The
series now stands: Two wins for Viz
ginia, one for Vanderbilt, and tie.
