CAPTAIN SUMMERSGILL.
Captain summersgiI has been out OF
the game Tor several days on account IL
an injured knee. IL Is hoped that he Will
soon take his place az end. because he
not 0n.y plays that position wei, but adds
new lie TO The whole team. In the
meantime. Lyman Is putting up a good
game al right end ana Is an able sub
sutute 10 the veteran captain. Hender-
son has been playing right tackle. HIS
work is cratic but on the whole II IS
good. lie is a good ground gamer, but
not very strong on the defense.
Right guard has not been fully decided
upon. French has been playing the post
tion, but 1t now looks as II Rogers. A
new man. would give him hard fight
FOR a permanent job.
Farrar. the big centre rush had 10 re-
tire from the gridiron because OF paren-
tai obje tons. HIS position, however,
will be ably filed either by Norfieet or
Stewart Neither Of these two men are
as heavy as the former center but they
give promise of developing into good play

man and a tower OF strength In the line.

keep the man he faces very busy during
a game.

best man IN Virginias line. In every game
his work IS bri liant. Not only Is he a
good man 10 advance the ball but when
called upon he opens up the line for his
backs in splendid style. During Sum-
mersgilrs absence from the game Lloyd

more confidence In him than they have
in any of the other quarter backs He
has been doing some splendid work in the
defence.
Gerstle. the hero OF the Pennsylvania
game Is playing a magnificent game at
left half back. He Is Nireinia's hest
