  VIRGlNIANS WERE EASY. Defeated by PENNSYLVANIA Foot Ball Team by Score of 20 tn n. Philadelphia, Oct. 1.-THE University of Virginia foot ball team was defeated by Pennsylvania this afternoon by the score of 20 to 0. The Virginians were Overmatched and never had a chance to score but their forwards put up q good game and the whole eleven tackled well. Twice Virginia held the heavy Pennsylvanians for four downs in the southerners’ seven yard line. The field was muddy and slippery from the heavy rains. and big scoring was out of the question. Pennsylvania general play is improving but the i’m provement is slow, and they are not playing the game that was expected of them early In the season. Despite the wet ball there was less fumbling among the Pennsylvanians today and the interference was better than it has been. but the work of the men is still far from championship form. Both the Dicksons were hurt in practice yes terday and general shifting of the team to different positions was today in consequence. The line uD follows:
