VIRGINIA TO HAVE

ON FIELD IN Is

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Feb. II.
The University OF Virginia will
have a varsity football eleven next
season. according to Pop Lanigan.
the veteran trainer.
Virginia was one of the few insti-
buttons to follow the lead OF the Big
Three" last spring and abolish all
varsity. sports. Though a majority
OF the undergraduates have been ell
gaging in military drills, it has been
found that football is a necessity. In
ter-class sports have been a failure,
the students taking no interest in
them
Virginia now has a varsity basket
ball five. playing a restricted schedule.
and a varsity nine will be formed. y
more ambitious schedule is being
planned for the baseball team. and it
is expected that the same will be
true Of football, though the eleven
will keep pretty much to Southern
teams for 1918.
