  SPORTS OF ALL SORTS Lehigh’s Defeat of University of Virginia. THE NORTH VS.. SOUTH OTHER BATTLES ON THE FOOT BALL GRIDIRoN. Travis Best in Atlantic City Golf Tourney-Checy Chase DOGGY Manufacturing Notes. Lehigh and Virginia met at American League Park Saturday afternoon. and the former institution proved it’s foot ball prowess by defeating the Virginians, “a to g. The game was of much more interest than the score alone indica tes-the crowd was of good size. alive with the orange and blue or brown and white of the two nstitutions. and very enthusiastic The play was clean and crisp throughout. There was a conspicuous rally in both teams toward the end. and the game was won, not because Virginia played poorly. but because Lehigh played superlatively well. Excellent Team Work. 1t will be a long time probably before Washington sees another exhibition of team work like that supplied by the Lehigh men, Every formation known to the game, new and old, was apparently used. Old moves like the horses neck” of ten years back were put forth in new form. The center In one instance passed the ball fully twenty feet to the quarter back, who held 1t on the ground while andy Farrabaugh calmly kicked it thirty-five yards for goal from the field Virginia’s long kick-offs were returned instantly, either by long, brilliant runs behind fine Interference or by long, low punts, which the Virginia men could hardly hold. Individually the men were quite as strong. Waters, Lehigh’s left guard, is mountain of strength and skill Capt Farabaugh plays like whole team Both ends-Brush. a Washingtonian, and Domin-held the strongest opposing backs well in toward the center and tackled fiercely. Barnard, who is also from Wash ington, played a model game at center In short, every one on the team seemed to have been built for his place, and the resuit was a game which must have defeated many of the strongest teams in the country. Virginia’s Good Work. Virginia played very well also. Until that game no team south of Mason and Dixon line had been strong enough to score against her. Every one on the team tackled spIendidly The formations were snappy and quick. Even the Lehigh men were caught on several of her plays But the shade of difference between the two elevens was all in favor of the PennsyIvanians and the game went against Virginia. Her one touchdown was made two minutes before the end of the second half. After the intermission her men rallied as Georgetown rallied against Virginia last year. But Lehigh rallied also and the consequence was that the second half differed from the first only because the play was faster. harder and more brilliant than 1t had been before. The line I’m follows
