take part In the melee today. All
doubt as to his participating in the
game was laid aside when the vir-

probability he would start against the
Tarheels.
Because Of his injury he viii prob
ably alternate with Ed. Anderson. an
other local boy, who has also been
playing q good game all of the sea-
son. Both Of the Richmond boys
have made good records and 1t will
be the first time the local sport
lovers have been rendered an oppor-
tunity to see them in action for more
than a few minutes. Billy" Word
got into the game last Thanksgiving
Day for about five minutes. but II was
not long enough to allow him to show
anything.
Mayer Holds Records.
Captain Mayer, Bobby Gooch and
Sparr are also expected to give
good account of themselves all OF
whom have been covering themselves
with glory all of the season. Captain
Mayer holds the record for scoring
touchdowns this season. the fast Vir-
gtnia left halfback having crossed OPP
posing goal lines more times this sea-
son than any other gridironist in the
country. Evans, who plays center for
the Orange and Blue team, has the
reputation as being one of tbs best
Virginia has had in many years He
has been out of the game with an In
jured shoulder during some of the
games this season. but last night no
was reported to be In the pink Of con-

A man who is expected to give the
big Charlottesville center some trou-
BILE In Tandy. who will be his opponent
on the other side of the line. Tandy
has made speciality OF breaking
through lines this year and smearing
plays before the opposing quarterback
could hardly snap the ball. 1t viii
be a great fight between these two
men in the center of the line and their
playing will be closely watched. George
Wayne Anderson. another Richmonder.
will probably be seen In Evans position
during a portion of the game.
Captain Tayloe is rated as being one
of the best duarterbacks In the South.
and he Is expected to be one OF tina
most consistent ground gamers for the
Tarheel outfit today. He has been the
sensation in practically every game
In which he has participated this ssa-
son and also ranks high in scoring
points for his team. He will be ably
assisted by Bridges, FuiIer ana ftelo.
Both Teams Well Balanced.
Although there Is but slight dtnef-
ence In the weight of the two lines.
the virginians are a little more ex-
perienced than their opponents and
they will doubtless hold their own.
Both backfields are very speedy. whtls
the interference Of both Is said to
be almost perfect. Both teams ara for
tunate In having good ends. In fact
both Of them have well balanced
team and the contest 10 expected to be
a battle royal from start to nnish.
Every incoming train Is bringing
foo ball >,thusiasts from all over vtr-
ginia and North Caroline into Rich
mond, and from present indications Il
will be the largest attendance in the
history of the annual struggle between
the two institutions. Because ct the
great showing made by the Carchniane
this season on the gridiron. practically
every sport lover Of the Old North
State will make the pilgrimage 70 Rlch-
mond to witness the combat bstweea

bodies of both universities will - %
hand TO disport the song and cAeeso-
which they have been practictng Tor
the past three weeks.
