pOpEs OLD PLACE

10 run through a mass OF opponents. No
doubt MIR. Mackcy VIII improve him.
POPE'S OLD PLACE.
Pope Is back at his old place OF full,
and is now playing the best game sccn
this year. his average punt In the last
game being sixty-fiye yards. the ball
going every time AT least forty yards
over the heads OF the Army Reserves.
The college Ia In ecstaoy over his improve
mont.
Johnson. who has played right half 70
acceptably for two years, will probably
play end Of the final game. His inter-
ference is the most perfect Of any man
on the team. lie plays "a good end, and
the man who passes him on the 29th must
be well covered, for he misses less In
tackiing than any man on the team.
On Johnson's right Bosher or Ramsburgh
viii play. Boshcr has been playing this
tackle. and while not perfectly. stlll In
such manner that Ramsburgh must work
TO make his place again. lie runs fairly
well with the ball. but Is not the grodnj-
gainer that Ramshurgh Is. He has not
the weight 10 go through n line. and has
a bad tendency 10 check his force IL he
meets an obstruction. still he breaks
through better than Ramsburgh. Who
will play LETT tackle Is yet Undecided.
Burllngame will play left guard. and Will
Thanksgiving He runs well with the
ball. and Is into all interference. being
perhaps the leader Of the line in this
point OF playing.
Centre will be filled by Blaine II ne
continues 10 improve in his playing. He
gets more into the game every day; gets
the ball safely into the quarters hands
regardless Of his opponent. There will
be TO holes made between him and Bur-
lingame. Blaine is getting into end plays
and tacklng, thing thai seemed i'm
possible for him at the beginning OF the
season. Cockrell has played fair centre
up 10 this time. but owing to business
engagements In StauntOn he has not had
time TO devote TO practice. and unless
he takes a brace he Will lose his place
on the Varsity.
Penton will play right guard and cap
tain the team. He can be relied on TO
outplay any man that faces him on any
team. Lately. on account OF weak ankle,
he has not been getting into every play.
but on Thanksgiving ne will be found
all over the field. lie has not played in
the last two games. This. In large
measure. accounts for the fact that Rut-
gers scored on Virginia.
Perhaps the most perfect tackle played
on the football field to-day Is that by
Hicks. II is impossible 10 keep him out
of the play. He Is constantly through the
,ne and spelling Interference. and II
the ball is fumbled 1t is generally Hicks
ball.
Price Is still playing right end, and will
always DO his part. The man that circles
his end will not come that route often.
Mudd. who has played brilliant game
AT left end is suffering with a weak knee,
but may be looked for If nothing new
occurs to his Injury HIS playing at end
has attracted the attention Of the entire
foot bali world.
