Battle on Even Terms
The battle ragged back and forth
from that point on, without either
side gaining any material advantage
until less than one minute before
time was called for the first quarter.
At that point Virginia had worked the
ball to Georgia's IL yards by a series
OF short, steady gains. Working
from q regular formation. a forward
pass was manipulated from Landes
to Gillette, who had crossed the line
for the first score of the game The
pass was short and was we'll exc

The second quarter found the ball
In Georgias possession on her 30
yard line, where it had been placed
by Powell after a nice return OF
Gooch's kickoff Just before the first
period closed. McWhorter tore
through the right wing OF the Wis
itors for one OF the runs for which
he Is famous In these parts, netting
gain of 90 yards before he was
forced out of bounds.
From that point on It was see
saw affair until few minutes OF the
close of the second quarter. BY a
series of short gains the Red and
Black edged the ball down into Vir-
ginia territory until they had reached
the l2-yard line. At this point NC
Whorter spun swift shoot to Lo-
gan. who had reached the Nirginians'
2-yard line, from where the tow
| headed end dashed across for a
| touchdown, tying the score. The
play was almost identical with the

the second prominence OF the for

On the punt-out the shot was low
and the Virgtnians rushed through

gians thereby lost a chance for try
at goal, and consequently the oppor-

| point on but little advantage APP

| close of the game. Both squads were
working with a vengeance, and the
result was very near a stand-off.
Virginians Break Loose.
