VIRGINIA CADETS ARE
EXPECTING HARD GAME
Lexington Aggregation Expects No
Little Opposition at Hands
OF Catholics.

Lexington, Va. Nov. 2.--Galvanized
into action by the defeat from North
Carolina, ". NJ. /. has started a foot
ball campaign that cannot help but
bear fruit. Immediately after the re-
turn of the team from Chapel Hill.
Coach Gorton made a speech TO the
corps, in which he appealed to the
larger men not out for football to
come out to make good. Monday at
ternoon practice saw many new can
didates answering his call. These
men pitched in with vim and a de-
termination to do their part in ouild-
ing up the team.
In spite of all this. however. the
Monday practice was discouraging in
the extreme, with Thomas, 8. Haw-
kins, Goodman, Whittle and helms,
all first string Hnemen. and Bertschey
and silverstein. speedy players in the
backf1e1d, all out with temporary In
juries. The backheld has lost conf
dence in the line to hold and to make
holes for an onslaught. and the
coaches are relying mainly on for.
ward passes and OPEN football
Knapp. the husky center. has badly
battered hand and will not probably
recover in time to enter Saturdays
game. Knapp Is from Richmond, and
has been fighting with grim determi-
nation all season.
Saturday the Cadets face Catholic
University at Lexington. The Catho-
lies have a strong line and in their
recent game with Randolph Macon
used with much success end runs
from kick formations. The special
stars from the Catholics are Shortley
their brainy quarter. and Rogers, the
fast and aggressive halfback The
Cadets have got to prepare a line to
hold against these battering rams
Some of the V. p. rs strongest men
are out of the game, but the coaches
are throwing themselves into the work
with determination and energy that
will save the day IL possible. Changes
and shifts are being made constantly
in the backheld and line in order &c
build up a perfectly balanced team
Two new coaches. Purdy. of Norfolk
and Sommers. of williamsburg. both

There are a few injuries in the

Woodfin nor Christian, the two ends
who have been doing excellent SER

and 1t is feared that they will be miss-

test. 1t is probable that Moss, a. first

wings. hut it is not known who will
occupy the other end. The Ashland
ers are not wanting for substitutes,
however, and II IL assured that there
is material a plenty to fill these hol-
low places.
For offensive work Mac Cogbitl,
the feety halfback who has shown
such form behind the line, will per-
haps move up TO quarter. Otherwise
he will retain his position at half,
and quarterback will be filed by
Heiner. The probable backfield that

LYRIC HAS GOOD
BILL FOR WEEKS END

II Manager Rex were only Rex in

would have no difficulty in giving us

Apropos Of the educated taste OF
the public. 1t is interesting to note
that last night the two acts the least
meritorious were the ones which ere

ence more readily as time passes.
On the other hand. an exceptionally
clever team. Arthur Wanna and May

accorded but scant courtesy. Each
or them Is artistic in the best sense
OF the vaudeville word. The contrasts
in their act are admirably handled.
There Is never hint of vulgartty or
ever a lapse from character. Acts
of this type are most desirable. not
alone from the public's viewpoint but
in lending to the morale of the vaude-
Vile stage.
The Emile Sisters. billed as youth

onlooker is keen for more. Meek
Suen is certainly the willy baffler.
Baron LIGHTER at the piano scored
heavily with a poor excuse. His work
Is without vulgarity and for this he
deserves credit, for the "mugging'

In the mouth of every football en-
thusiast.
The Carolina team is at present in
perfect condition. not a man disabled
and the full squad at work every af-
ternoon. The same lineup that has
been used In previous games is being
drilled daily with the possible change
on end. Crawford. instead Of Proc
tor. was worked in the game last Sat
urday and made a good showing. Last
Saturdays game showed much i'm
provement in forward passing, six out
OF seven being successful. Although
no very long passes were tried, 1t
seemed that the short ones were bet
ter because they could be gotten of
quicker and not so much danger of
their interception.
Coach Campbell Will probably carry
twenty-five men on the trip and they
will leave the Hill on Friday morn
ing The same lineup will be used
in the coming game. only johnson will
be back at quarter instead of Will
