Where the Plan Fails
They have also found tnat 1t tals

resources, over which experienced
football strategists are given control

Coach Warren has handled the
years, and his success has been
marked When casting about for a
suitable man to assume charge Cf
the team after the eX-captain plan
had been relegated. the Virginia au-
ihorities settled on Warren. Those
who have seen the team work this
season vouch for the wisdom OF the
selection. Local bugs win have an

one Of the stars OF the game for
Virginia is expected to loom up IN
the person of Quarterback Bob Gooch.
He was a member Of the team last
year and was a close second in effec-

dimiuutive halfback. This year Gooch
is said to be even better. and he is
figured strongly in the strength Of the
visitors.
