SOUTHERN BOYS PLAYED WELL Over $500 People Cheered the Two College Teams as They Struggled for Victory on Neutral Pennsy’s Players Failed to Run Away with the Sturdy Virginians Virginia held the Quakers down to fourteen points IN yesterdays football game at the National Baseball grounds and rolled up six points to her own credit. Pennsylvania didn’t seem to be in Arst-elass fighting trim. Colbert left half, did the best of the all around work for the Quakers. Brooke was good at kicking, but his fumbles cost the Quakers more than his kicking earned. Out Of three touch downs he only kicked goal once Burlingame, the old-time center rush standby of ST. Johns, at Annapolis, who Is left guard for the Nirginians; Cockrell, who won new laurels as center yesterday; Taylor, the plucky little quarter back and Pope. full back did the brilliant work for the Southern team. The teams lined up with an average of l6S pounds for Virginia and l69 for Penn sylYania. The referee was Mr.. Wells, of G. A. c.; umpire. Mr. Macklin, Z. S. NJ. c.; line man, Mr.. Oliver Catchings. About $500 peopie were present, and the orange and blue of Virginia almost obliterated the occasional CLEAN of blue and red borne by some enthusiastic Quaker. PENNsY WON THE TOSS. Pennsylvania won the toss and chose the west goal. Pope led of for Virginia with a EullACtlb hlbA ~ OSEOOds W ~ NdaAiSN eIO oval well back into the Virginia field. Pope stopped his career, but after two or three bucks at the center Colbert took the ball around the left end, and Pennsylvania scored 4 touchdown in just three minutes. Brooke failed to kick goal. After the line up Pope kicked off again | well into Pennsylvania. bit Brooke caught the oval and punted it half way down the ! southern field. Pope returned the favor, but ! this time the Quaker kicker fumbled, and | Taylor advanced few yards toward the Uni versity of Pennsylvania goal, where Virginia ! again lost the ball. / Then came long spell of bucking against ! the center. first one side and then the other ! having the advantage. Virginia was slowly | forced back, until half her field was covered Cockrell wasted a lot of breath running | With the ball after it had been called down. ! Nobody knew it but the referee, however, and the play was pretty. Big George Burlingame | did some magnificent Interference for the ! Virginia rushes and the Quakers broke against | his guard like waves on the rocks. Cockrell put the ball behind the northern goal, but it had to be brought back to Virginia. SOUTHERN BLOOD WAS UP. But the Southern blood was up, and Pope carried the ovoal ten yards through PennsYlvania’s center but lost the ball. Brooke kicked down the Virginia field, but the Qukers lost ten yards by off-side playing. ! Pope. Bosher, and Price made good runs. | Pope kicked and Brooke fumbled, which let Mudd in for d touchdown. Then when he | kicked goal all Virginia went wild. Hats, | canes, and yellow ribbons whirled high in the air, and the college yell was mingled with the strains of a college song. Brooke led of for the Quakers, and Pope caught. then Pope kicked and Brooke caught. | Osgood made a fine twents-hve-yard dash, and Rosengarten made a touch down, but again Brooke failed to kick goal. This closed | the first half, and the Virginia cohorts took possession of the field, parading for the en- | tire fifteen minutes. | Early in the second thirty-minute half Tay- ! lor had his arm hurt. and Johnson took his \ place as quarter back. Groner was put into Johnson’s position as right half. Pennsylyamia defended the eastern goal in this half. Brooke led off and Pope returned. Rosen- ! garten, Brooke, and Colbert made twenty-five yards, and after long bucking right on the | line Pennsylvania got touch down at the | hands of Brooke, who kicked the goal, thus raising Pennsylvania score to II. The next lineup was the last and neither side scored, but Rosengarten spoiled the good effects of his previous playing by making the worst foul tackle of the game. He struck ! Pope, who was trying to catch Brooke’s kick before the Yirginian had touched the ball. | The foul cost the Quakers fifteen yards, but they had covered half the Virginian field | when time was called.
