GAME WAS WON BY
INDIVIDUAL STARS
Every Score or Entire Contest
Was Direct Result of
L Misplay.
By LOUIS A. DOUGHKR.
Jlarry Costello will not play for the
Wu and Gray In 1914 hence, Virginia
toa.y defeat Georgetown a year from
next November.
W ever a varsity eleven had an evil
rnlu, Virginia has one In Harry Cos
tello, the moat brilliant Individual foot
tall player In thla section of the coun
try, and his spells and devilish Incanta
tions brought the Hllltoppers' third suc
cessive triumph over the Orange and
Blue, It to 11 No, It wasn't very good
football from a technical viewpoint, but
It was great Costello football.
leaving out tho achievements of
Georgetown's wonderful runner and
drop-klcker, Virginia outplayed the Blue
and Qray generally, though In streaks.
On occasions the honors went to tho
Hllltoppers, particularly to their back
field men. Then the tide of glorious
battle would fining back to the Vir
ginians. Itocky football? Yes, Indeed, quite
rocky, with tho triumph going to the
eleven possessing the greatest Individ
ual star on tho field. Ends mere circled,
tackles boxed, middle men pushed up
and back, flying tackles missed, holes
lammed Instead of opened, fumbles
atrown around at critical points all the
hasty Jumble, of a championship foot
ball game were seen on both sides.
MispUys Costly.
Mlsplays paved tho uy for every
core In the game, even for the marvel
ous field goal from Costello's toe on
Virginia's 37-yard line. Georgetown's
first touchdown In the second period re
sulted from a Virginia tumble, enabling
the Hllltoppers to get within striking
distance before time wan up, and then
to open up a fierce attack In the second
period under the shadow of tho goal
posts. Even that touchdown was lucky.
Ed Fimay aenecung me rorwara pans
from Costello Into the outstretched arms
of the eager Donnelly.
Georgetown's second touchdown be
came a beacon light in Blue and Gray
gridiron history, Hnrrj Costello run
ning through the e,ntlre Virginia eleven
and swerving across the Held to the
right, clearing seventy-two yards for
a touchdown. And yet. It would have
been quite Impossible for him to have
done this had Gooch kicked with any
distance at all.
Virginia's two touchdowns, likewise,
were aided and abetted by faulty work
on the part of tho Hllltoppern. Cos
tello's forwards shivered and broke oa
tie was trying to get away one of his
long spirals, and it was blocked. Vir
ginia corralling the loose ball. Falling
to gain consistently through tho line,
Virginia worked a forward patis suc
cessfully and a touchdown sent the
Orange and Blue supporters Into trans
ports of glee.
Another Lucky Pass.
'Another lucky pass, exactly similar
t. Georgetown's, gave Virginia Its sec
ond touchdown, and enabled the bulky
Carter to tie the score with his goal
from touchdown. A double pass, the
last one shooting oer the weak side
of the line to tho uniting Lorets, was
deflected Into his arms by a George
town athlete, and he scored the six
points with a. step.
The winning points followed a poor
punt of Oooch's to mldllein. Immedi
ately tho Georgetown machine com
menced really effective pounding of tho
Virginia line. Tlmo was precious u"d
no delays could bo endured. Hlowlr
and painfully the Hllltoppern forced
their way outside of tarkle and through
the middle until they had brought tho
leather up against a stonewall on Vir
ginia's 30-yard line.
Then camo Costello's final triumph
of the day. Knowing that the victory
rested on his own individual efforts,
he fell back to the 37-yard line. Meas
uring the distance and the angle with
his eye, ho Hlgnaled Rltch to let the
ball come. The sturdy center shot tho
pigskin perfectly to tho watting Cos
leUo. Down It went to the ground and,
yielding to tho force of the flawless
dropklck, sailed majestically up Into
the air and over the cross bar. it had
given the victory to Georgetown and
Costello.
Virginia Surprise.
Virginia was a surprise In moro ways
than one. The line, not expected to
withstand the catapultlc plunges of th
demon, Jim Dunn, hurled him back
time and time again until It seemed as
If he could not gain an Inch. It wasn't
his fault, for no holes were opened for
him. Once or twice he found a holo
opened for him and then he would plow
through the Virginia forwards as he
had through the Indians.
Carter was the main strength of the
Virginia line. He was In every play on
both sides of tho line, doing the work
or two men. inn nuge lad earned un
stinted praise for his efforts in the line,
while his beautiful goal from touch
down camo close to making his name
live forever in the stately halls of Char
lottesvlllo. As a line, Virginia's forwards always
had the Jump on their opponents In the
blue Jerseys. To a considerable degree
this accounted for the failure of Fury
and Dunn and Murray to gain consist
ently through the line. They hit a
Jumble of players instead of open roads.
Now and then, though, Georgetown's
forwards showed themselves Rltch,'
tho center, playing his final game
against Virginia, was a whirlwind on
attack and defense. He was througn
on plain behind the Virginia line, hur
rled Wood's passes until Gooch uh
noticeably worried on his kicks and
tackled hard and fiercely whenever the
play swung toward him. Several times
he was seen tackling out on tho ends.
White Is Powerful.
Delve White played powerfully at
tackle. He followed the ball like a
ferret, refusing to be Bhaken off Iho
runner. Several times he tackled the
Virginia back for lcses. On the of
fense, though, he found great difficulty
opening holes through tho giant Wool
folk, and Dunn, Murray, tind Kury

defense backed up the big line wonder
fully, lending not a little to Its stone
wall appearance whenever Dunn es
sayed to plow through It. Wood's pass
ing was poor most of the time, Hitch
bothering him considerably. The Vir
ginia backs wero fast, but seemed to
run aimlessly.
Georgetown played hard football, dig
ging always to the front. Perhaps,
without Costello, the Hllltoppers would
not have won, but the eleven would
have battled Just as bard without him,
and some other lad might have risen to
tho occasion.
Forward passes wero frequent, but
seemed to come without premeditation.
Hoth teams used this style of play for

achievement.
Yes, Georgetown won, but Virginia
