There were: probably 1,500 peopie out seo the and lt was hard tell which team Had tho greater numbsr ot followers. Many ladies were presaat, some of.

wearing the white and blue of Georgetown, and some the o'-ange aud red of V. 21. l. The game was ono of tho best over piayed here, from the star.dpoint of the spectators, for it abounded in surprisea and open plays, and couid, a3Cord.ng!y, co better enjoyed from the grandstand and the bleaetteries. On ths start the soidier boys appsared to have overything their own way, but as was proven later.

the iieads and heavier men from Georgetown w.ero. up the tactics of the Virg niaus and studylhg the.r methods, and wiih few ceptions, afcer the first touchdown and up to the last one, the boys from the District of Columbia had things prettily well mixed up. VERY CLEAX GAME. Tlie game was a clean one throughout, thero was little slugging and only one player was injured to any considerable exte.nt. McCabe.

left half for V. M. ln a mix-up sustalned an injury his rib that was broken in the game with the Universlty several weeks ago, and was forced to retirc. The crowd enjoyed the game, and had, probably, the best chancs ever given here to famlliar'ze themselves with the various points. The open allowed this, and there were many peopie present who knew no more about a football game when tCiev went out to the park than a Span iard does about basebaH, but who by close attention posted themselves up and who can now give average instruction on the points.

Armstrong. the clunky little referee, proyed the best man in the place ever seen here. Ho was most impartial and alto? gether popular with players and specta? tors, and even in the very close declsion in the last half, when hn undoubtedly gave tlie decisicn to Georgetown honostly and fairly as hs saw it, there were but few who raised a kiek. Some good were made by both sides and sprinting cut a big figure, und from a critical standpoint tho game, even with so many fumbles, must be eonsidereci as far above" the average.
