Georgia was outweighed 16 pounds to the man. and in the line there was DIFF ference of 90 pounds in favor of the yirsinia eleven, yet the lighter Georgia for wards were repeatedly out charged by their. heavier opponents. Only by resorting to the forward pass were the Virginia boys able to shove across their victory. Even with their added weight, they did not have the final punch 10 send over the touchdown when they needed it.
