TWO CAPTAINS
MAKE STATEMENTS

Acting Captain w. W. Council. OF the
University of Virginia team, said:
1--WE were too strong for the team
from Blacksburg. and outplayed them at
every point. The outcome was very
gratifying to the team, coaches and the
University at large. The Blacksburg
bows, though outclassed, are no cutters.
They contested every inch of the ground.
and Virginia had to put forth every ef-
fort to win. Especially was this so In
the second half. The Institute should be
proud Of men who, in the face of almost
certain defeat. could brace up and play
such ball as they put up at times during
this period Of the game
Captain G. p. Miles. of the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute team: II do not
think our team played the ball they are
cara h,e OF playing. hut the team took a
decided brace and showed great improve
ment In the second half. The game was
lost on our poor team work at critical
moments While I regret tho result
must concede we were fairly defeated"
