tween Whitman county, WASH, and
Latah county, Idaho.

Northwest, and now that Latah coun-
ty won the sweepstakes prize for the

WEST POINT. N. Y. Oct. 2s.-In yes

were kept pretty much on the defensive,
and. although the first team only scored
a drop kick, they many times got within
striking distance Of the scrubs goal.
Reyes, out Of four attempts, failed at
three drop kicks, and Cramer made a
mess Of another.
In the first part Of the game Mac
Donald got around right end for twenty
yards. and nice forward pass. Keyes

scrubbs 5-yard line. Spalding here
broke through and threw Macdonald
for a ten-yard loss, and Keyes dropped
a goal from the 25-yard line.

was filled by Purneil. Ltttletohn got
back into his place, but 1t was deemed
wise not to overtax his weak ankle,
and he played only few minutes. De-
vore did not come out, and Weyand
played the tackle place In fine shape.
For the first time In two weeks Hodg-

VIRGINIA VARSITY
DEFEATS SCRUBS IN
WELL PLAYED GAME
Coach Yancey Has Heart To-
Heart Talk With Squad,
And Results Are Good.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Oct. 26.-
Revenge In rare form came to the Uni
versity Of Virginia varsity, eleven in a
practice game against the scrubs yes
terday 18th a well-earned n to 0 VIC
tory in four eight-minute quarters. :.
The sudden reversal was undoubtedly
due to a little heart to heart confab
with Coach Yancey the evening before,
when several regulars who apparently
had been loafing, were warned against
q continuation of mediocre play. How
ever. several changes which promoted
aspiring scrubs to the varsity ranks
seemed to cut some figure in the con-
test.
Bob" Gooch replaced Todd at quar-
terback and the latter was shifted back
to his old position at halfback. Yeager
took Farrows' place in the back field,
with Goodhue and Todd as his running
mates.
Barron played In Davidson's place at
right tackle. as the former Tome School
leader was forced to retire from the
game after the first half because of a
slight injury to his shoulder. The team
as thus composed loomed up 100 per
cent. stronger than its predecessor of
the day before. The men played to-
gether and seemed to possess the same
snap and vigor that characterized their
work earlier in the season.
The work of Yeager, the former
Hampden-Sydney back, stood out as a
distinct feature of the game. Time and
time again the youngster evaded tackler
after tackler for runs averaging from
twenty to forry-five yards He also did
the punting for the varsity and ac-
quilted himself nobly in this department,
getting on long spirals averaging forty
five yards.
Jack Jones, one Of the few remaining
players OF last seasons lot, got back
into the game after long lay-off,
necessitated by an injury to his shoulder
In early season practice. Jones was In
the limelight all the time with agrees
sive work both on offense and defense,
and Is expected to make a strong bid
for a regular berth in the backfield.
Finlay, the veteran end. who has been
out of the lineup for several days be-
cause Of a slight injury to his back, is
expected to rejoin the squad today.
