While the above named games have not
been officially determined upon. IL IS
more than likely that they VIII De an
Guided in Nirginia's football schedule
FOR 1918. Nothing positive las yes
been given out by the management.
but il is rumored around tho College
that Nirginia's request for a game
with Princeton. in Washing ton. has
been received favorably and that the
Tiger management has suggested Oc-
tober IL as the date-the day OF inc
C;eorgetown-Nsvy contest at Anna po-
lis.
While October IL is a little early IN
the season for Virginia TO even hope
to make good showing against the
strong Princeton eleven. yet IL is real
lied that il is proba bly, the berry best
that can be done. II an agreement IS
reached on the date mentioned 1t is
more than likely that the virginia
squad will be called together before
the opening of college. This course
may be decided upon in any event now
ever. as the players were very SLOW
rounding into form the past season
and did not strike their stride until
the first of November, with the sea
sons schedule half over
II Pop" Lannigan has his way the
members of the squad will be called
together certainly by September !, at
his summer home On the coast OF
Maine There. under the immediate
supervision of the veteran trainer, the
men will be gradually rounded into
form. All of the letter men OF TINS
year save Captain Todd and Full Back
Smith will return TO college next fall'
and il is believed that nearly all OF
them could make It convenient TO jour
ney u Maine for the preliminary prep
aration needed for the strenuous
schedule that is being mapped out Tor
the team by the advisory board of the
General Athletic Association and Man
ager McMorries.
1t will be recalled that it was the
intention of Head Coach Elliott TO
assemble his men at one OF the noun
tai resorts in Observation-Disclosures Springs
in the latter part OF the past sum
mer One or two OF the players actu-
ally reported. but the others were slow
in responding. and the plan fell through
al the last moment.
Two or three weeks spent n the
delightful climate on the Maine coast
should put the players in fair physi-
cal condition. and when the gong
sounds on Lambeth Field at the open
ing or the session the men should be
in fit shape to profit by the instruc-
ton of the coaches and ready 10 jump
into the earlier contests on the sched-
ule. which next fall promise u be more
strenuous than the preliminary con-
tests in years past.
Swarthmore Williams and Trinity
Of Connecticut. are yet 10 be heard
from. and should two OF them accept
Virginia will haze her work cut out
for her in October. Against teams OF
such calibre the eleven sh )uld be going
at pretty lively clip by the first Of
that month Then too. as Georgia will
probably be taken on. the long trip
of the team to Atlanta will practically
spoil ten days of practice. Virginia
wants to profit by her experiences OF
the past season. and every possible
effort will be made to get the players
in shape for the strong schedule now
in preparation.
