Washington. November IT.?Both the
Virginia and Georgetown football
tfiira:; are primed to-night tor their
?-.ren: annual buttle, which will bo
played to-morrow afternoon in this
city, and indication! point to the fact
that the attendance will be the largest
? ?.??i Beten at any game In Washington,
Virginia's squiad, numbering about
twenty-five, arrived in Washington
this aftorhoon and took up their head
irtors nt the Arlington. After the
game to-morrow night the warriors
from Oharlottosvllle will go to the
theatre an the guests Of the Blue and
Gray eleven, and will leave Sunday
morning for CharlottCSVllle.
? eorgetown University's team had
Iif last workout oh the Hilltop yr.?
lerday afternoon. Coach Ncilsen drove
his men through a snappy signal drill
/ind gave them some tackllnu practice
on the dummy. All tin- players are
!u lino shape and are anxiously n?all
ii:g the whistle which will start the big
Yiattlo. To-morrow the weal end glad
?.Inters will be sent through a very
31 =r111 signal practice for not over a
1. !' an hour and do a lap ajound the
truck before they go In.
Never bet?re in the history of
Georgetown;-Virginia games has there
been such Interest shown b>' the mem?
bers ot the west end Institution. Moot
I lugs have been held in the different
\ branches of tlx university to prac
1 tlce tue new songs and yells, rrpin
the way that the new music has been
gone through In the rehearsals it
seems tliot not only the largest, but
i the Ih'M cheering section that Ueorgc
town ever had will be on the local
Held to-morrow. The boys from ovet
the creek have not only been backing
their team by their applause, but have
also gotten up la rk?' pools with which
they are willing to buck their teum,
In what little belting that has been
done, the odds seem to stand t
live to four, with the Mine and Qra-y
Blvlnr the long end of the money.
However, it is hard to tell which way
the odds will go before the game
starts, as the arrival of more Virginia
suporiera may materially affect the
betting.

uut of Frav.
McGUirc 8 light tut fast football
eleven went down to defeat before |
the heavier lads from fork Union I
Academy yesterday afternoon at broad
.Street Park, the score being 33 to i>.
Thurc were several unfortunate clr
. umstances attaching to the game,
the lirst and probably tin- most notice?
able being that Fork Union was en?
tirely too heavy for tile locul prOtfS
Because ul tins tact, many oi the
plays appeared to the spectators to
bo rather rough. However, the tiling
that most attracted attention was thu
fact that policemen patrolled the
Held, Watching each, piny, leaving Hi?
lle tor lite Otttctals to do, and at least
<>n one occasion a youngster was
funked out <?? the game, presumably
lor rough tactics, when neither the
ofllclola nor the opposing teams wore
aware of his alleged infractions ol
the rules.
It was the very 111 si time In thu
history of the game that football hint
been played under police supervision,
with tl}u minions ot the law inter?
preting what was wrong and what
was right Kork Union being the
heavier team, simply crushed Alc
IjUlre's h> sheer weight. Naturally.
I lie force of the heavier team's'uttacK
carried the lighter boys off their (eet,
und under these conditions the play
was rough. Uut from an unbiased
viewpoint there was no ruuson for po?
lice interference, nor was their any
attempt on the part of the visitors to
act unsportsmanlike or to take un?
ten r advantage of their opponents.
He it said for the McOulre squad
th.u never once did (hoy tllnch. They
played u plucky, uphill game, lighting
every inch of the way. and bearing
up under an-viUnckii.g machine, thu
like of which hat- never been witnessed
in Richmond trom a prep school ag?
gregation. Nor did any man on Mc
iuire's team make a kick. The Uck
ng came from outsiders, who, uccord
ing to a strict Interpretation of Hit
rules, hud no right whatever on tho
hi Id. and had the umpire strictly con
Mrued the rules and done his duty,
McOutrc'S should have been penalized
tor the Interference ot these outsiders.
From the moment the whistle blew
,t was < learly evidenced that the local
noys hadn't a ghost of u show, and
?hat to score they must bo helped by
a tluke This ttukt came In the last
few minutes of the final period. Scott
had sent a beautiful spiral down tho
Held from his forty-yard line. Bailey,
for Foik Union, was playing back for
the punt, but the umpire's whistle
sounded, denoting that ono of the
I'-.trns was nffsirjo and that a penally
would be inflicted. Ancell. for Mc- |
Quire's, wub down tile Held like u
allot. The oval Struck tho ground and
bounded In the air. Bailey made no
attempt lo recover it, and Ancell, ;
coached by hiH teammates, rushed
down the Held between the goul posts
and scored a touchdown lor his team.
.Scott missed goal.
On two or three occasions the local
lads outplayed their heavier antago?
nists. Especially was this noticeable
in the first and lust periods. Ulgtit at;
the opening of the game McGuire held
Fork i*nlon for downs and the ball
went over. on two other occasions
they did the same thing, and twice
were the heavier players forcud lo
I kick. Ancell was tin: only man on
I his team to make gains, but ho got
away once for twenty yards and again
I fur eighteen- Captain Ebel played a
magnificent end, and wus in every
I play. Scott likewise did himself
proud, while the light line of the lticli
mo-rwl tsarn Uli, i'eman.abio work,
i Daniels and W. C. Bailey, for thu vis- [
itors, did the spectacular work for
their team. Bailey ran the team and
he did it in superb fashion. Hut Daniels
came in for thu applause, Once, in the
llrst period, ho ran eighty ? live yards
alter receiving a forward pass, for a
touchdown. In the second period, w hen
McGuire attempted a forward puss,
[ he caught the leather and this tlmu
.was away for a ninety-yard run und
anothor touchdown. The half ended
with the score 23 to 0.
The last touchdown made by the vis?
itors Caiha iii the third period us the
result of a blocked kick, when llors
ley broke through McOulre's line; und,
alter blocking the kick, carried the
ball across. Balloy, in the last pe?
riod, added three points by dropping
the ball between the goal posts from
the thirty-tlvi -yard line. Then CSDIO
the freak score for McGuire, which has I

Particular attention Is attached to
tho forthcoming: exhibition, owing to
the fact that it will be he last to

Next spring this historic structure

a mass of evergreens. The Judges'
Stand and the entrances are festooned
with the national colors, and those In

for the reception of a record crowd.
The London Horse Show at Olympia

Because of the disposal of some of

most vigorously against allowing these
these moil to take pari In the afore?
said game, since the participation of
' hose professional athletes would vio?
late evory principle of pure college
athletics. It was resolved, further,
that rather than suffer the slightest
Imputation of being afraid to meet the
A. ft M. of North Carolina In the an?
nual Thanksgiving Day game In Nor?
folk. Hie V. P. I. football team should
play the game schedule*! with A. ft. M.
for November 10, 1911, even though
the athletic authorities of A. ft M,
should refuse to debar the protested
players. Finally, It was resolved thnt
should A. A M Insist upon playing
those protested men In the Norfolk
game, this act should he considered as
severing without further discussion all
athletic relations between the V. P. I.
and the A. ,v M. College of North Car?
olina after November 30, 1911. It thus
remains with the Athletic Association
! of the A. ft M. College of North Caro
Una to decide whether ihcy prefer to
debar their professionals from tho
Norfolk t-iinie or piny them against V.
1*. 1. and have no rurth'er athletic ro

correspondence with A- and M. wan
taken up long:-before the college year
closed last June, and If the manor had
been adjusted at that time and not
sldesteped by A. M., the Tide?
water League would have been in?
cluded. No contract has over been'
signed, and there can bo no doubt
as to these men having played In
the Tidewater League, as the records
of tin- suit between the latter and the
Virginia State league will show."
Mr, Miles Is emphatic in snying that
the gain'' this year will be played,
but declares it will undoubtedly end
athletic relations between the two
schools If these men are allowed to
play. v. P. I. has always stood for
pure athletics, and does not intend to]
recede from that position now.

work of these two men bus told, and
a most creditable lighting machine haa

the collegians believe that they will
