badly hurt as at first was thought. and
while he will be able to do little work
this week the coaches will not use him
against PENNSYLVANIA State.

a considerably larger amount than

Virginia Players Say

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Oct. Is
A bunch of Virginia football players

uriay's game with Harvard the other
night They were all gathered around
in easy postures. and telling their ex-
pertcnccs. when suddenly the question
popped out: Was Mahan the greatest
football player you have ever seen?
Not by a long shot" answered BUCK
Mayer. He didn't compare with Boo
McWhorter, with the University OF
