FOOTBALL IN THE SOUTH.
Virginia Plays Fast Game-Tan-
derbHt Team on EDGE.

The game OF predominant interest IN the South
last week was the Virginia-Georgetown game in
Washington. What the Yale Princeton game Is to
Northern football the Neutrality-suspicious. game IS
to Southern. Despite the fact that both teams are
weaker this year than they have been for some
time past interest in the game great as it
has been in years gone by.
Virginia got together and the team played the
best game II has played this year. GEORGETOWN
fairly swept OF her feet and the score of 2S
10 represents the merits Of the TWO teams.
Georgetown scored her touchdown on a long run Of
ninety yards, and was lucky indeed to score. Vir-
gtnia outclassed the Washington team in every de-
partment of the game. Hornaker upheld his rcpu-
taton OF being the fastest and best quarter in the
South Besides using good headwork In directing
the attack he drove the team hard and played
brilliantly, making a run of a hundred yards for a
touchdown.
Vanderbilt defeated Georgia Technical overwhelm-
ingly. The team Is now edge. and there is not
another team In the South it's equal. The game
with Sewanee on Thanksgiving Day should be inter
esting. but II comparative scores and form count
for anything Vanderbilt will win with ease. Geor-
gia Technical has strong eleven. and expected 20

Another surprOse was the defeat Of Davidson by

the North Carolnians finally winning by a single
touchdown. The Virginia Military Institute rolled
up an enormous score-68 TO O-against the BaIt-
more Medical College. but nothing that that team
can do now will make up for the defeat administered

West Point n. Y, Nov. 1.-THE Army coaches
are still perpleXed over the backfeld problem. Cap
tain Smith played at fullback in the game with
Tufts, but the shift did not impress the coaches
particularly good, and the final lineup for the Navy
game is undecided as il was month ago.
Mountford has the call over Carey at quarterback
and Greble will probably start the Navy game in
one of the bac<ield positions The coaches are

YALE HELP FOR NAVY.
Blue Coaches WW Turn to Annap-
oils after HarUard Game.
IRv Telegraph e nc TrItune. ]

Annapolis. Nov IA host of Yale coaches will
flock to Annapolis after the Yale-Harvard game on
Saturday to round the Navy team In shape for the
game with the Army. Rockwell, one of the best
ouarterbacks that Yale ever had; Veeder the Blue
halfback last season, and Knox, who has been
head coach at New Haven this year, VIII redch
Annapolis a week from to-day, and will devote
every effort to getting the midshipmen in shape to
beat the Army
this year at Annapolis, and Forbes Yales star end
of last year has been coaching the Army Because
of this, the Army-Navy game this year has added
interest. Both teams have been coached TO play
yale football" and it looks as If both would use
the same tactics.
The coaches of the Navy team are making des-
perate efforts TO get the team in form again. The
Navy is suffering from bad slump, was evi-
denced by the SWarthmore game and later by the
Pennsylvania State game. The playing of the team
has been decidedly unsatisfactory lately, and has
worried the coaches. The men will be driven hard
until the Army game. The coaches will give them
no rest, and with such men as Knox, Veeder and
Rockwell 10 assist in the coaching the team that
faces the Army is likely to he dangerous one.
Knox and Veeder Will pay particular attention to
developing offence capable of gaining consistent
ly, something that the Navy has not had this year.
The haCkfeld problem is still unsettled. Douglas
is the best back the Navy has ever had but one
man cannot play the whole game, and so far the
Navy captain has been the only man who could be
relied on to gain.
There is not an air of dependency in Navy foot
ball circles but rather of determination to get
together and put a winning team on the field Tho
brigade of mdshpmen still feels confidence in Tne
ability of the team TO beat the Army, but this
hdence is not shared by the coaches. They know
that the team has got to take brace If ii is 10

The most disappointing feature or the football
situation is that Shafroth. the giant tackle has
gone back so much in his work mat he had TO be
relegated to the scrub. Leighton. an old AndOver
tackle. and Magruder took his place in the game
with Pennsylvania State but both of them We're
Outplayed and neither showed any exceptional abl-
ity- Boynton tried at fullbaCk and much was
hoped of him, but he, too. failed TO make good.
Burg, the little halfback could not gain against
PENNSYLVANIA State, and did not met expectations
II looks now as If the Navy would have TO rely
upon its three star players Captain Douglas, Sling
luff and Dague to bear the brInt of the work Those
men almost in class by themselves far as
the rest of the team goes. Douglas has stopped
playing good football. He plays brilliantly now.
Dague and Slingluff always in every play, and
the latter IS Invaluable in bolsterTng the line.
while the work of little Dague justifies his nick
of lightning"
On Saturday the team plays Virginia Polytechnic
Institute, the last of its preliminary games.
