  WESLEYAN LOSES T0sV|IA|S ) TEAM & Methodists Unable to Hold Opponents Lose by 20 to0score. Strange things happened In the football world Saturday. Rutgers. the team that Princeton most feared. was beaten by the Tigers 10 to 0. Yale was trounced by Virginia 10 to 0. West Virginia, much better team than Wash.Jetf, was held to tie. The Fairmont High School team was whitewashed by the High School OF Buckhannon. But the most unexpect. ed defeat was the 20 to 0 fiasco I’m. corked at Lynchburg when the West Virginia Wesleyan team was beaten by Washington and Lee. The Wesley. ans team was outplayed and out run. One Of the touchdowns against Yves. leyan was the result OF tumble that rolled over the goal line, a Wash.Lee man shooting head foremost to gain 1t which he did. The others were made in the first few minutes OF the first and second half, apparently be. fore the Wesleyan bunch could get its bearings. The Washington and Lee team play. ed an open game. more open than is considered safe, but they got away with 1t. The stars OF the Washington and Lee open game were Barrett, right half, and Young, quarterback. Shu. maker and Kellison featured for the Buckhannon eleven. Bobbitt, who was substituted for Wagner. showed up well, and will probably get more chances to enter the games. The Washington and Lee goal was threatened continually in the second half by the Wesleyan team, but with no luck. The Buckhannon team showed UP 80 per cent better in the second half than in the first. holding the Wash. Lee bunch at will and fighting every inch of ground. The lineup:
