GLOOM IN VIRGINIA'S CAMP.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. VA,
Nov. disqualification prevails In the
Virginia camp. and the supporters Of the
orange and blue are worried over the
outcome Of Thursdays game with North
Carolina. So much 20. I'm fact, that john
ME Poe. the famous little e%x-captain OF
the Princeton Tigers. was sent for on
sunday TO come TO the help Of the coaches
10 aid IN whipping the team I'm shape
for the great championship contest. Poe
arrived yesterday afternoon. and the
work he gave the regulars proved the
toughest they have been put through this
season. and the men were handled with
out regard 10 their physical comfort. The
pace was a terrific One-tOO fast for the
entire back field. the men dropping out
one by one before the end of the play
against the scrubs. gaspiug for breath.
\ WRETCHED CONDITION.
There is no doubt that the team is IN a
wretched condition. as "a result of the re-
cent hard games with West Virginia and
the Naval Cadets. Some advise a let-uD
I'm the work, bat II a mar can't stand the
practice he won't be able 20 stand with
Carolina. The coaches intend 10 keep
the players at work and put IN the fttest
thai survive against North Carolina.
The Varsity lineup yesterday after
noon was quite a different one from That
Of last week. A decided change was mo-
ticed In the makeup of the line. Wills.
who had HIS leg badly wrenched in Satur-
days game. was. Of course. unable TO
appear upon the field. His place at left
end was taken by Taylor. the captain or
the scrub eleven, who has Of late been
playing substitute half on the varsity.
At the other end Of the line Summersgil
was conspicuous BY absence, he. too. hav-
ing been badly used up in the game with
the "Middles.' In his shoes. however.
was Billy Martin, right end on last
years eleven. who has just re-entered
it,. rrHm-. NO. atEHH awnHhaw TLannn
i'm the line. "Bemus' Pierce has not been
ua 10 his best efforts Of late. and the
coaches decided % put Baxter Moore, 4
brother of "Sandow" Moore, I'm at right
guard. Moore did very well. and IT. looks
as though 81 would be a close hght ne
tween the two for the position. Pierce
may mo thp place Thursday, but yester-
days change will make him work harder.
Moore has developed very suddenly, ana
his progress has been rather TOO rapld
TO be satisfactory.
CRIPPLED PLAYERS.
Emil Back Elsom. who was injured IN
the game with the University Of Mary
land. and who. since his return from the
southern trip. has been disabled win a
swollen leg. was out for a short WINE
yesterday afternoon. but QUO not sI'ne
the gait long Tie retired In favor or
Coleman. Shibley's place az quarter was
taken bv Walsh. "a District OF Columbia
man. Moore. at right hall. was COM
plotolv winded before tho end or the play
against the scrub. while Griffin. the other
half. had 10 drop ont. HIS srrained ankle
giving him much trouble. Both showed
evidence of the fierce struggle at Annap-
oils.
BACK Of the Varsity fine there We're I'm
addition TO Poe. Archie HoXton. Billy
Abbot and Lambeth. the clever punter
of the '96 team. The coaching was in-
spiring. 10 say the least Judge wal
lace. centre on last years eleven. PLAYED
I'm the scrub rush line to give the Var
sitv men practical points. while Coach
"Arlie" Jones played behind the line. Dur
inc the ten minutes Of play against the
scrub the Varsity was unable 20 score
due 10 the stiffness of the opposition.
Last night "a mass-meeting OF me- stu-
dents was hold IN the Fayerweather Gym
nasium. and great enthusiasm was OK

Paul y. Barrlngor. chairman ~ the facul-
~. Professor Lille. Captain Collier. Man
