THE PROPOSED LINEUP
The Game Expected to Be One OF the
Warmest Struggles Ever Witnessed
on the Gridiron in this
City
THE PROPOSED LINEUP

lnOSo WHO ucSlTc u WllllcSS u sSiCiiti-
fic, brilliantly played and closely con-
tested football game between teams OF
the first rank among southern colleges
will have opportunity to see just such n
stirring struggle at Broad Street Park
Saturday afternoon, beginning promptly
at 3:15 o'clock. The game, 1t should be
noted, is scheduled for 3:15 o'clock,
and will begin on the minute. for there
is no time to spare II the game Is to be
finished before darkness begins to fall
The time of the halves has not been
announced, but they will probably be
twenty-five Of thirty minutes with an In
Permission OF ten minutes. This will a[-
ford ample time for decisive struggle.
EQuAL1zE THE TEAMS.
The action of the Virginia 1ntercol-
Left Tackle and Captain johnson, of the
University team, and Right Half Back
Carpenter, of the V. p. l., will somewhat
weaken both teams, but the losses will
about cqllaize each other. On the whole
the indica tons are that two more evenly
matched teams have never met on the
gridron in this State On the record of
games played this year the Blacksburg
boys are quite as strong, both In offense
and defense, as the famous University OF
Virginia eleven. with string Of victories
and but one defeat TO It's credit. The v.
P. l. boys are yet, unbeaten, and Vir-
ginia's only defeat that by the
Naval Academy team by the bare margin
of one point, was an accident And yet,
Just such an accident a tumble or
missed goal or goal from the field Is
likely to decide the i1suc of Saturdays
game. In weight the two elevens are very
nearly equal, and also in experience.
Many of Blacksburg's finest players are
men who have played with the team for
several seasons and they, are not only
In excellent condition, but have the ben
Eft Of having long played together.
HAS LOST GOOD. MEN:
Virginia has lost several, of her best
men of last years team, among them its
old captain and two Of its best backs.
1t has some good men in their
places, but whether they are as good as
the old remains to be seen. The colors
OF tho Y. P. l. team are maroon and
orange and of the University the familiar
orange and blue The big orange V OH
the blue sweaters Of the Varsity men
always has its effect in frightening its
opponents, and may be the decisive fac
tor In the game.
Tho following will probably be the
lineup Of the teams when they meet
here tomorrow for their annual battle.
