CHARLOTTESVILLE VA. April e.
The advisory board of tho General
Athletic Associations OF the University
OF Virginia has elected Dr. Harry NJ.
Warner of Warrenton. Va. head coach
for the varsity football team of 1915.
DR.. Warner, who, since his graduation
from the medical school OF the univer-
sity last June, has been an inferno In
the university hospital. has signified his
Willingness to accept the task, and
Will probably issue a call to candidates
for next falls eleven to report at an
early date for spring practice.
During his college career, DR.. Warner
was one of the best known football
players In the State. He began his grid
iron career at the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute, whore he made quite a name
for himself. After winning his b. S.
degree at that institution he came to
Virginia and entered the medical
school. He found no trouble in making
the varsity eleven his first year, and for
three seasons In succession held a place
at tackle He was especially strong on
the defensive, and had few equals in
his position In the entire South.
In the fall of 1912, while pursuing his
studies at the university, Warmer took
time to coach the jefferson School
eleven Of this city. With a handful of
material he turned out one OF the fast
est and best prep school teams in the
state. His wards surprised even their
warmest supporters. defeating 4 ndm-
Der Of heavy elcvens, but losing finally
to the well-balanced team from Wood
berry Forest School
During the fall of 1918 Warner assist
ed Rice Warren III plotting one OF the
best elevens ever turned out at the
university. The team went through the
season with a single defeat, losing to
Georgetown by one point.
Warner possesses splendid knowl-
edge of the gridiron game, and has a
knack Of knowing how to impart his
Ideas. His selection will meet with al
most unanimous approval by the stu
dent body. His knowledge of the men
gained while assisting Warren should
stand him In good stead, and much of
the preliminary work which new
coach would have to go through is made
unnecessary.

Easter Week, which corresponds to
Prom. Week at several OF the Northern

by the annual show Of the Phi Delta
Phi legal fraternity, given in Cabell
Hall before a large audience. The In
cidents pictured in the burlesque were
based upon incidents which had their
origin In facts or near facts. and the
caricatures were ridiculous In the eX-
treme. The appearance OF Easter
Queens" in the final scene In which they
illustrated some new steps alleged to
have been taught them by a student
