lima plays the University Of Virginia
here Thanksgiving day In the great
annual football match the Blue and
White supporters will have their seats
on the Southside pavilion.
Chapel Hill is going to send a large
delegation with the team for Caro-
lima believes that the eleven this year
has a great chance of winning.
Both universities will have thor
ough trying out tomorrow. FOR Ftr-
ginia plays Georgetown in Washing
ton and Carolina plays Washington
and Lee at home. The majority OF
experts are picking Georgetown and
Carolina to win these games, but Nir-
gfnfa may surprise the talent by play
ing the Blue and Gray to stanostiil-
Virginia has a great eleven this year
no matter what the coaches may say.
Coaches have a fashion OF wailing
dolefuily about the team. OF sending
out mournful hard-1uck yarns about
the best players being laid up. and the
second string men not coming up to
expectations, while secretly they are
hugginE themselves over the condf-
ton OF the men and how the players
OF whom they expected the least are
playing like varsity veterans.
Virginia Joins Chorus.
That is a way coaches have. Same
old story comes from Yale every
year. Many times Princeton joins in
the chorus. and Harvard let's out IA
howl OF poor form. This year Viz
ginia has chimed in. Coach Yancey
lis very Respondent about his team
for publication. Then tho team goes
in and fiays John Hopkins. The score
of "a to o would suit many. but not
Coach Yancey. He says It. ought to
be SIS to 0, to indicate that the team
will have any show against George
town. Georgetown does not think SO.
In Washington they have an idea tina
any team that can beat John Hop
kins "a to 0 can give the Iiilitoppers
trouble
Keep an eye on that Virginia team
Tomorrow
Carolina Coming Along.
Carolina should beat Washington
aud Lee, although they have q very
husky eleven In Lexington. Washing
ton and Lee tied Y. r. l., and Carolina
played the Techs to a scoreless tie,
but the team has had chance 10
Gene along since that game and the
Tarheels should win.
Manager Hendrix. of the Carolina
team. while here at the V. p. l. game,
made little note OF the facilities at
forded the newspapers in covering big
football -emes, and has proceeded to
act In manner that apparently en-
sures the reporters some considera-
ton.
In a letter TO the business repre-
sentative Of the Carolina team here
MIR. Hendrix writes in part:
Prsss Facilities Poor.
AT the V. p. I.-Carolina game we
clearly saw that the facilities for the
accomm odation Of the press men were
entirely inadequate. In your prepare.
ton for the game on Thanksgiving
Day / would urgently request that yot
provide proper means for the proper
care OF the press men. In making thai
preparation / should suggest that yol
have q rope placed between the grand
Rtand and the side line, 30 that thu
presS men can report the game from
behind the rope. and thus be not IN
ciuded among the three men who are
allowed ON the side lines, ~ prescrib'
ed by the rules. The reporters should
be properly taken care OF and thi:
temporary arrangement seems to b
about the only solution"
Mr. Hendrix Is to be congratulated
upon his enterprise. He is the frs
manager OF visiting college football
eleven who has taken thought OF tn,
newspaper men.
Awarding the Honor.
Some admirers Of the Carlisle In
dams are prematureiy deciding thu
seasons championship In their favor
says = New York expert. The award
ing of championship 10 a ticklisl
enough Job even when the season Il
. over. and then there Is often room
for difference OF opinion. As gen
eral thing the seasons harvest Of de
feats and victories includes too man,
ramifications for one opinion as I,
the undisputed champion. The In
diana have the most points an.
haven't been beaten. but football
championship do not necessarily e,
with the greatest percentage OF vic
tories a. in baseball. The fact tina
The same opponents are not me
knocks out that method OF deciding
There isn't any real way deciding
except q season Of such sweeping
and clean cut victories as few team
nowadays achieve.

and Syracuse may 20 a ways towar
