VIRGINIA'S TEAM.
Virglnia's team to-day will be the same :
hat recently went against the Navy, as !
lll the men are in very good condition. ;
Mallory is now on left end in place OF
Martin, who was compelled TO stop play {
ug on account of objections on the part I
Il his parents. Mallory played for seve- E
raj years on st. Adams, where he made \
quite a name for himself as tackle. a
Little need be said Of the famous Col
er, who is at left tackle. Weighing 22O q
pounds stripped, he is one mass of mus b
.le and maryellously fast. having a track /
ec0rd for the hundred-yard dash of 10 1.5 a
seconds. His remarkable interference has b
Earned many of Virginia's touch-downs
or her. while his breaking up and tack
Ing and general defensive work is of he
highest order. He is very aggressive, and Fl
iways on the move, following the ball II
lOsey and getting into every play e
TEMPLEMAN Is WATCHFUL. "a
Templeman. at left guard, while not a
howy, grandstand player, is one of the IL
ltadiest and most aggressive of Nlr- r.
.nia's players Always quiet, but ever Y
yatchful Of the game. and is never c,
aught off his guard. He does most OF in
he goal kicking after tOuch-downs. and OF
i.s record this season has been excep- al
ionally good. fa
Wallace, at centre is playing his third eN
ear on the team, and is one of the best m
entries Virginia has ever had. He never gi
lses his head. no matter how the game az
going. but always gets the ball back III
uickly and surely. He is probably bet
er on the defensive than at any other 10
ldge OF the game, and breaks through IN
be- opposing line continually, even when Ia
laying against much heavier men than IN
imself He weighs only l70 pounds, but
makes up in quickness and strength
,hat he lacks in weight.
Davis. right guard. is said TO be the II
est tackling guard that ever represented
lrginia on the gridiron. Some Of the
r0minent members Of North Cardinals
cam last year considered him the finest te
uard in the South and coachers and as
layers alike at Annapolis said he played III
he finest guard ever seen on their field. IN
Estes. on right end, is the lightest man ~,
] the line but very steady player ana ,Se rSe
ckng only in experience. He played te
lll-back on the scrub team last year, -
lt went 10 end early this season. ana A.
lst before the Hampton game was put A., a,
d the Varsity team. He tackles well e.
the line and gets down the field on ,sI 49,,
lexis In good form. IN
CARNEY A STEADY BACK. ia
Carney, at right half, is about the al
eadiest back on the team and is re- !
ed on chiefly for gains through the line. tes
is quick fierce plunges rarely fail TO 4
ED the desired five yards. w
