Washington. D. C., Nov. IP.—In a hotly contested football game here thla afternoon George Washington Univer sity held the University of Virginia *down to the score 0 to 0. AFTER THE SLAUGHTER TECH 8HARED THE FATE OF MANY ANOTHER GOOD TEAM. NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS By PERCY H. WHITING. An Ea*tcrn press association has sent around the country a statement that the Southern colleges have “just” adopted a “one- year residence rule.” As a matter of fact that rule has been in effect in tho S. I. A. A. for several years. The great white light has at Inst broken and the major leagues are going to have shorter schedules. This is one of the first signs of intelligence which some of the major mogulsjiavc displayed in several years. The baseball war in Texas is reported to bo over. This leaves all tho world in peace except for a small chunk of Pennsylvania, where they have their own notions of baseball independence. Speaking of that, the nnnual story that tho Tri-State out laws were due to go into the fold of organized baseball has been sprung, by the said organized baseball. And ns usual the out laws haven’t heard of it and don’t care to. “Rube” Waddell has blossomed forth somewhere in Penn sylvania as a “professor” of athletics. George Edward Waddell, ball player, bar tender, actor, pro fessor. Next I The wisdom of being on hand when things aro happening was well exemplified Saturday afternoon by a young gentleman named Robert, known commonly as “Chip.” The said “Chip” came down the field under a punt at a critical moment in Satur day’s game while tho rest of his team mates wero giving imita tions of canal boats in the moist distance, happened to find the ball nmning loose and fell on it. Immediately thereafter he was tackled from three sides and previously mauled, but it did not matter to him. For he had accomplished a feat which several hundred other young men had tried to do in thp last three years. As Season Nears Its End, Surprise Follows Surprise • Saturday'! football games were pro- Iduetlve of many surprises and proved la sad disappointment to Western foot- wall followers. I The defeat of Michigan by Pennsyl vania and Minnesota by the Indians, Troth by scores of IT to 0, brought sor row to the hearts of Westerners, who -have long thought that the football played on the western side of the Al leghenies was a better brand of goods than that played on the eastern slope. ' It seems that thla dope la wrong, at least from what can be judged by those two games. Of course Michigan has not the team she had last year—In fact, has not even the team she had when eha played Vanderbilt. The Michigan team with out Curtis Is a trills line "whisky straight" without the whisky. How ever, Pennsylvania Is far from as good n team as Tale, Harvard and Prince ton, and Michigan followers hoped for • victory. That the Indians could make the Minnesota bunch eat dirt was another sad surprise to Westerners. A nothlng-to-nothlng result In the Vale-Princeton battle was somewhat unexpected, but owing to the rapid Improvement of Yale during the latter part of last week there Is no especial reason why such a score should not have been made. In the South things did not turn out just aa Indicated In the advance no tices. The scoring of Tech was not altogether an unexpected happening, and neither was the defeat of Auburn by Alabama. It seemed certain that the Alabama championship would go to the Auburnttes, hut there was an other fine bunch of dope which went wrong. Georgia's 51 to ! victory oven Dah- lonega was also rather more over whelming than had been looked for. Since Tech beat Georgia IT to 0, and Dahlonega only 1 to 0 It did not seem reasonable to suppose that the Athens players would rat the Mountaineers whole. However, they did, and the un reliability of football dope was again demonstrated.

Tech wae forced to kick three times, Vanderbilt once. Ball changed hands 11 times. i The feat of scoring a touchdown on Vanderbilt—for three long years an Impossibility for any Southern team— was accomplished Saturday afternoon by Tech. The Tech team loet to Vanderbilt by a score ofTT to 6, but for the Yel low Jackets It was a victory and for Vanderbilt virtually a defeat By all standards of judging football teams— dope, experience of players, weight and speed of the inen—Vanderbilt should have won by a score of 40, to 0. Of Course K, QttmTW BONBON? Jr HA DE DAI IT ZHE STANDARD OF PURITY. J. W. HEISMAN. M’.vh <>f tin- good showing of the Tech train this season has been-duu to the elHch-nt coaching of Mr. Helsinan. The above snapshot shown him in a characteristic at- tltude on the Held. But that one touchdown brought aor. row to Vanderbilt and Joy to Tech and the local team la more proud of it than of beating Georgia. It was all very simple. In the early part of the second half Tech was forced to kick from the 46-yanl line. Brown got away a good one and It sailed down post the ten-yard line. Captain Dan Blake was there to receive It, but fulled In his attempt. The ball skidded by him and across Vanderbilt's goal line. Apparently from npwhere at all came a muddy streak, there was a yell, a splash and Robert had landed on the ball. In the shortest fraction of a min ute threiv Vanderbilt men had landed on the Tech quarter and he was half burled In the sticky mud. But he held the ball and Vanderbilt was scored against. There were groans from the Van derbilt contingent and the Tech fol lowers spilt the atmosphere with a dis play of vocal enthusiasm which has not been equalled this year. Of course it waa a lucky fluke. But this did nut change the fact that it was a touchdown. And all credit to Bobert, He had the agility tu elude the Vanderbilt men, the speed to get down the muddy Held under the long punt and the quickness to fall on the ball before the Vanderbilt men could get It., _ Played in the Mud. Whether or noly such an accident would have happened on a dry day Is not up for decision. The day waa any thing but dry. It had rained fitfully Saturday morn ing, just as a bluff. When the teams come un the gridiron In tha afternoon, however. It began In earnest and for sincere efTort that shower would have been hard to heat. Tho previous attempts of J. t'luvlu. along the same line had suaked the ground and It did not take long for the flehl to pass progressively through mud, bog, swamp and lake stages and RECORD OF YALE-PR1NCET0N GAMES Yale and Princeton met In their annual battle at Princeton Saturday and neither side could score In a long, hard game. This was one of the big games of the year. Yale defeated Prlncetdn on Yale field last year by a score of 21 to 4, and has won flve of the last tlx games played.

Georgia, Athens, Go., Nov. 19.—Op an extremely muddy field and In a dreary - drlxxle, the Georgia teajn snowed the mountain lads from Damonega under Saturday afternoon by a score of 63 to 2. The., game was remarkable for the clean way In which Georgia handled all punts and forward passes. The work of Hodgson was great in this de partment. Dahlonega spent the entire first half In a vain endeavor to keep Georgia from their goal by kicking. Not once did they try to advance the pigskin by any other method. They made one first down In the second half. The Dahlonega team seemed slightly nut of condition and became winded at the terrific pace set by Geor gia. It would be a hard proposition to say which players starred for Georgia. The w hole team starred and starred collec tively. when the game was over It looked a flood. Tech pinishsd Strong. Against this marvelous team Tech put up as plucky a fight as has ever been seen on a local gridiron. After being hammered all to peices In the first half the men came back and played marvelously good ball In the second. The Vanderbilt team forced the Yellow Jackets -to go tlic full twenty-five minutes In the second half and during that time the t'ommodores could score but two touchdowns and were themselves scored against. The crowd was phenomenal consid ering the weather. Probably It was the largest crowd which has been on Tech field till, fall with the exception of the one which saw the Georgia game. If the weather had been fair, as It has every other Saturday this fall new attendance figures would undoubt edly have been set. Saturday was not only the first day that a Tech game has been rained on this year, but the first time a Vander bilt game has been rained on since Mc- THE "CHARGING MACHINE” IN ACTION NAT KAISER & CO.
