West Virginia far outplayed her rivals

VO\ GAMMONS DEATH.
attain Heraen Explain? the Piny
In Which the Accident Occurred.
ATLANTA, GA.. November 4.-(SpeciaI.)
V friend of Captain Rergen, of the Uni?
versity of Virginia foot-ball team, ha.-i
ecelved a letter from him concerning the
lolllslon on the foot-ball field here last
Jaturday afternoon, In which the Vlr
(lnlan explains the play that led to the
infortunate occurrence, and disclaims any
esponslblllty on the part of the Virginia
)oys for Von Gammon's death. The lct
er is as follow?:
"Charlottesvllle, Va., November L 1897.
' S stag 'he agitation about leplalattng
igalnst foot-ball In Georgia, on account
>f the very sad occurrence In our game
:here, I thought I would write you about
hat affair and tell you about the gaum
ind how Gammon was killed, at least as
[ saw It.
"The game was a clean game, of cours?
hard played, but yet not a nugh, foul
<ame. Our men had been Instructed to
^lay fairly, and did so, and you have my
?Aord on the fact that I ?aw no hitting
it ail and no kneeing or such work.
"Gammon was hurt while we had the
ball, feigning to make a .tackle, which
precludes any such thing as any of our
tuen being any way blumable.
"Tbe play was, I believe, a ?tralght
formation play, and an open one. not a
m-.?? play, and so Gammon's death was
not ln any way accountable to Virginia
or her men, or the heavy mass forma?
tion? of foot-ball, but was a most sad
accident. We have done all ws could
to express our regret. Sent flowers and
inessagt ?. and our men are all broken up,
personally, as am I, about it. I wiite
you this partly because 1 thought you
would like to have my assurances of the
character of the game and of the absolute
absence of either premeditated or I steal
rough play or intentional Injury of n B.
