  Presidents Lose Again. Morgantown, w. Va, Dec. 1.-West Virginia University ended the football season undefeated yesterday when the ancient enemy from Washington and Jefferson was beaten 14 to 0. A crowd of 13.000 persons saw the game. Nardacci was the individual star of the game. If single star could be picked from either eleven, although Martin Eckberg and Simon all proved capable at advancing the ball against w. and J. The much advertised Washington and Jefferson forward passing attack was frequently called into play. but one gain of IS yards and three or four or less than half dozen yards was the days toll from the aerial assault. West Virginia bettered Washington and Jefferson in this de- partment of play. The first half was scoreless with the play being largely within the 4o-yard lines. When the West virginians received the kick off after half time. however. they marched straight down tho field to u touchdown in one of the most sensa- tional advances ever seen here.
