CHARLOTTESVILLE. VA, October
10. - Especially - The Varsity foot-baii
eleven left for Philadelphia this morn-
ing, where they play the University OF
Pennsylvania on Franklin Field to-mor-
row. The men are determined to ho'd
ire score down for all there is in the
game. The probable line up will be as fol-
lows: Left end. Martin; left tackle, somos-
keoy; left guard. Johnson; centre
wallace: right guard. Davis; right tackle
Morrison; right end Kennedy; quarter
back. Hoston; left hah-back, Dabney;
right half-back. Groner; full-back, Cooke
(captain).
All the players with the exception of
five-Hostou. Groner Dabney. Cooke
and Davisz-are new men, bat have been
showing up i'm good style. Martin on
left end, p.ayed at Pantops last year,
and is now making a good man for the
Varsity. His tackling is sure, and his
breaking interference Of the best or
der Morrison also played on the Pam
tops team, and he Is now showing up m
fine form. Somoskeoy. the other tackle,
is a former Williams College player, and
with Morrison they will no doubt make
two of the best tackles Virginia has ever
had II present indications amount to
any thing.
Johnson is a man Of experience in his
position, and is powerfully built
player. Davis has shown his ability too
well in former years to need any criti-
cism. Wallace is an old man. but
has never before regularly applied for
the team. His playing at centre is good.
and insures him his position.
Kennedy Is an old Princeton man, and
one of the surest tacklors on the team,
as well as being good at breaking in
reference Hoston. Groner Dabney, and
Cooke are old, experienced Varsity
players, and they are all showing up in
fine form, the work of Dabney being es-
pecially noticeable i'm Saturdays game
with the Miller School Among the lead
ing substitutes are Foote, McPheeters.
Minor and Himel lfOote was captain
and half-back on the Tulane University
team last year. McPheeters played the
like position on McCabe's School team.
Minor is Il new man in football ranks,
but Is powerfully put up, and only needs
to handle himself better in order TO Sc
cure a position on the team. Himel
formerly played half-back on the Episco-
pal High-School team. lie is very quick.
and runs hard and fast, but is inclined
to drop the BALL which he can soon check
II he Is a little more careful.
