unbcaten eleven to Richmond. the first
time Carolina has been able to do this
In years. He will have team which
has had Il comparatively easy schedule
and has suffered no injuries. And last
he VIII have an eleven winch will be
buoyed up through Bocock and hls
past achievements on the gridiron
Certain it Is that the psychological
effect Of Bococs's presence is going to
be big factor.
virSiuia's Proud Record.
AS to Virginia, the Orange and Blue,
with the exception OF the singing
though not decisive defeat BY George
town. has made record for the sea-
son. gives them the call kempcr
Eancey has done wonders with the
material he had on hand at the be-
ginning OF practice. lie has not only
built up strong defensive machine,
but he has a speedy set of backs. which
viii give any pair of ends u hard
chase to keep them from getting away.
The paper dope certainly makes Vir-
Einia the favorite, but there have been
SO many upsets in the football world
this year that one hestietes before
making prediction. Tho rules make
strong defense the greatest posi-
BILE asset, especially within the fifteen
yard zone. Hero line plung' ng must
be resorted to, and with the penalties
and restrictions. 1t Is nearly an i'm
possibility to pierce license built
substantially for successful gains.
But there are two recourses. the for,
ward pass ana the drop kick or goal
from placement. or these two the
drop Kick is unquestionably prefer
able. for the forward pass, at this
stage is treacherous, and tumble or
nuke may give the defensive team an
opening with clear field to cross the
dividing lines for touchdown.
Which Has Better Bootcrr
The question thus resolves itself
into which eleven has tho better
puntcr and dropkicker Goodhue did
the punting for Virginia in the
Georgetown game, with Todd trying
for the scoring boots. Coffin was
Bocock's Election here with V. =. |.
Goodhue was good for from thirty 10
forty yards. with n wet and soggy
ball. on poor field, and really did
more effective work than Costello for
the Blue and Gray. Coffin was out
punted in Richmond. by Leggc, for
V. 2. l., but at that was sending" long
high spirals down the field, giving his
ends plenty of time and forcing fair
catches on. several occasions. Thus
the reader must be left to his own
Judgment as to the better Of the two.
and Bocock use the toes OF the same
men in the game tomorrow?
Without rcnturing q prediction, the
writer would not be surprised at
scoreless game. and he believes that
the eleven which does score. in the
event that count Is made, will score
because of an error on the part of
the other team. However. It is going
to be the greatest duel between these
schools in the past decade. In point
of victories. Virginia has eleven to
Cardinals four. and the TarheeIs arc
mighty ANXIOUS to close up the gap.
And the peryadlng air OF mystery Is
not detracting from interest.
Both schools will send practically
their entire student bodies. There will
be the same spectacular display OF
college spirit; the same desperate eff.
fort to win the game from the
bleachers: the same mass OF fe llnins
supporters. 1t will be gala event,
with bunting flying and music from
rival bands playing popular college
songs. 1t will be simply the Thanks
giving football game between Virginia
and Carolina. and everybody goes.
