teen minutes, each time by long gains
made in using the forward pass Fian-
ragan. playing at quarterback an the
scrubs. ran into Gillette just as ne was
receiving a pass In the early part OF
the contest and knocked the latter
unconscious for few minutes. but he
came around later and was able to
walk to the gymnasium unassisted.
MAYER was still unable to get into
the rough work yesterday, and 1t is
now q question whether or not he VII!

Walker. speer and Randolph were
all given tryouts in the vacancy and
the latter showed up to the best ad-
vantage. He ran well with the ball.
WIS strong on the interference and
will probably get the call in case a
substitute ia used. FLANAGAN and
Creekmore broke up several of the
varsity plays before they had crossed
The line Of sCrimmage, and the former

Kickcrs Given Practice.
Warren spent quite a good deal Of
the time with his kickers after the
erri mirage was over and Landes was
the most successful. Murphy. a sub
stitute Hnen1an. failed to record a
single field goal in seven or eight at
tempts. but Landes secured several
goals from placement from about the
forty yard line Virginia is particu-
larly weak in the kicking department

them. but fails TO get more than thsr-
~ or thfrty-flve yards in the games

practice. but seems TO fall down when
hurried by the iineman in game

Of the ccach's time during the re-
mander OF the week.

ter which the whole student body
