CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, Nov.
6.-Today Virginia's victorious foot
ball eleven battles Vanderbilt, the
highest-scoring aggregation in the
country, on Lambeth Field before
one of the largest throngs ever seen

down until Tippett gets within scor-
ing distance with his dropkicks.

into town from all directions, long
