...University football team had no trouble defeating the Virginia eleven 51 to 0 in a very one-sided game in the Stadium last Saturday afternoon. Virginia was powerless to stop the University backs, who made long gains practically at will. The Southerners were never dangerous and only once had the ball in the University's half of the field, this being after the successful completion of a series of forward passes, of which, the last however, was intercepted by Minot '17, who ran 65 yards for a touchdown...
...University was always hard and sure. At the end of the first quarter, Kinsolving received a pretty forward pass from Thurman and ran 30 yards, but Minot was waiting for him and stopped him short. The line also played well and frequently broke through and tackled the Virginia backs before they were started. W. H. Wheeler '18 played a particularly strong game and was an important factor in stopping all plays through his side of the line. H. Coolidge '19, as substitute end, showed up well at his position, catching a forward pass from W. Willcox '17 within...

Virginia was then penalized for being off-side, and on the next play R. Harte '17 skirted left end for a 25-yard gain. Only eight more plays were necessary before R. H. Bond '19 went over the goal line, and later kicked the goal. For the remainder of the period the University contented itself with trying a few rushes and then punting, and the Southerners did the same. At the beginning...
...against the Virginians. Willcox received the kick-off and made the only fumble of the game, but recovered the ball and carried it 20 yards before he was stopped. The fourth touchdown came after the period was half over, when Willcox ran a punt back 35 yards to Virginia's 28-yard line. S. Burnham '19 crossed the goal line on the sixth subsequent play and A. W. Gardner '18 kicked the goal. The next score came immediately after the kick-off when Burnham intercepted a pass and the ball was taken over the line by M. Horne '18 after...
