Virginia's line-play was scarcely on a par with that of the Crimson second-string forwards, especially around the centre, where Tierney, though unsteady at passing, was excellent on the offense. The Orange and Blue wings put up a mighty good game, notably Newman, who shared pass after pass for short gains right under the eyes and from the midst of the University backfield. He and Captain Michle, on the other extremity of the line, were down the field, fast under Rinehart's low punts, but had little open-field tackling to do, since the punts were usually driven...

The Red and White scored twice in the closing minutes of the first half, the University failing to make further score, though playing aggressively throughout the second period...
