Washington, Nov. 14. University pf 'Virginia to-day 1 won her sixth victory frcm Georgetown by a score of 9 to 9. The game between the old gridiron rivals was gruelling and was played on a snow .'. -covered field In a blinding storm. Vir ginia showed clearly her superiority over Georgetown, although many at the factors which usually entered Into previous vic tories were tacking.

Virginia's backs took the ball through Georgetown's line after a' ww of siraigm tine plunges ana lake plays, carrying the pigskin to George town's twenty-yard line; then on a de layed forward pass, Honaker to Stanton, the ball was taken around Georgetown's right end to ber ten-yard line and In two uwim -iiuv piunsn ine wmil went through the goal.

Trie -rain fortunately had ceased and the cold bracing northwest wind hajl its tonlo effect In stirring the men to battle o and straggled tor the mastery on a ground that was in place as slippery as ice and In other spots cov ered with mud nearly shoe deep. The same was never lacking: in In terest despite the fact that the locas were easy winners, scoring in about two downs after the game was callej nd succeeding in crossing their op ponents' goal four times in the-first half and twice in the second, the final score being SI to 4. But Wake Forest in the fcrief while that It has been in training ba vnade handsome progress and the team now plays good ball, al lowing no walk-over for any foe. In a beautifully executed forward paba and then a drop kick by Simmons from about the 11-yard line the visft ora scored 4 points in the early part of the first half. But a number of times they also ploughed through Davidson's line for good gains. For Wake Forest ths honors go to Simmons for all-round playing. Oay deserves mention for line bucking and also Forehand and Duffy. Judging by to-day's game when Davidson and Wake Forest meet in Charlotte Thanksgiving It is aafe to aay that the public will have the op portunity to see a fine exhibition. The Baptists will have the advantaje in weight, the Presbyterians in skill; the result alone will show whicn holds the winning card. Davidson to-day played a much more aggressive game than was to have been expected, unless It was that last Saturday's defeat spurred the team to take no chances of losing this time. The team as a whole played well. being conslderbly divided. Klutts played a' new position, left half and snowed that he can do as fine work there as at end. Qulgg played full in Clarke place and measured up fully vto the requirements of hl0' posi tion. Thomas and James played one of the ends and Peden the other. tA Inr the position usually played by Wilkinson and Klutts. Peden show ed up particularly well, tackling with great spirit and accuracy.

The Fact That Comparative Scores Are In Virginia's Favor Deserves Comparatively little Consideration. Th defeat yesterday of Georgetown by Virginia caste yet another gleam of light on the relative standings of the North Carolina and Virginia football teams, which, as the representatives of their respective Commonwealths, will mix it up on Thanksgiving Day at Richmond and battle to the bitter end. The fact that Georgetown tied Carolina' and that Virginia-defeated Georgetown A to 0 wo did seem, whn taken in . -eonnectlbn - with previous games of results akin, to Indicate that the odds are in favor of a Virginia victory. - . ' " ' ' ' Of course. They always are. The, only time Carolina went forth to meet her ancient foe absolute certain that Virginia's scalp was as good as dangling at her waist, was in 1204 when Virginia, by a freak of luck coupled with good playing, won from a team of individual stars by nerve-racking score of 12 to 11. The odds are always in the neighborhood of 2 to 1 on Virginia snd generally you ran get at least even bets that the Tar Heels will not punctuate the Vir ginia line for a touchdown. Perhaps that is one reason why Carolina's re joicing at victory is the more keen aad pungent. But that's not saying that th game is Virginia's. Not by the length of a football field. Unquestionably the University team Is crippled by th un fortunate Injury to ' Captain Thomas, of Charlotte. But there is no mis taking or discounting th note of un daunted determination which comes from Chapel Hill Of course; it takes more than de termination to win' football games. If it didn't every gsme would be a tie. It takes weight, and experience and system and speed. Whether the Tar Heels can make good In these quali ties can not oe known with certainty, until the first kick-off on Richmond's field. The first few rushes even may not suffice to tell the tale In accents prophetic of a life and death struggle, of victory, or of defeat. Th near-national- game is almost, not quite, as precarious a realm for essaying th role of the seer as is th less organic but not leg scientific sport of base ball. All of which 1 to say that the lndi cations are that the . Thanksgiving game will be no walk-over. And thaV the thousands ofTar HeIs who make the trip next week .will feel repaid.- . .
