Coach Raftery. of the Washington
and Lee Generals" declares that in
Bullet Joe" Siiverstein ne has the
best line plunging fullback in the
South. Interviewed regarding this
brilliant player, Coach Raftery said.
Not only is Silverstein one Of
the most terrific line plungers |
have ever seen, but / am certain that
his defensive work cannot be ex-
celled by any player in the South.
The man IL terror with a football.
He weighs about IFS pounds. is built
low. and hits the line with a speed
that reminds one OF Percy Wendell,
the old Harvard back. and Joe is as
hard to down as Johnny Maulbetch.
Of Michigan. If Joe can't find hole
he hores one through; and its going
to take good team to stop him,
Followers OF the Washington and
Lee team seem to have the same
opinion as Coach Raftery concerning
Silverstein. The fact of his having
played such brilliant ball at the un!-
yersity OF Pennsylvania early this
season, as we'll as his showing here
in the past three games. marks him
as a dangerous man for Washington
and Lees opponents.

Lynchburg, Va. oct. 22.--The Fir-
81 mia Episcopal squad has been un-
teFgofnE a severe practice since the
Charlottesville game. Garnet and
waite hopes were lowered when il
was learned that Fullback Carruth-
ors will be out Of the line-uo for ten
days owing to his injured knee. 1t
is hoped that he viii be able to
participate in the Danville Military
institute game. and II is probable
that the Episcopal lineup against
Farmville High school on Friday VIII
be substantially the same as in last
Saturdays game.
There is q wealth of good line ma
teriaI and. provided the squad is not
htndered by further injuries, the
team should strike it's stride by the

is perfecting the interference and is
also trying out series of new shifts.

While Douglas is not included
among the thirty-five players re-

he is on the New York clubs ineli-
gible list" explained John Foster
secretary OF the Giants, last night.
When club places Eyer on its
ineligible list he automatically is re-
served by such a club, as he cannot
make a move before he is placed
back In good standing by the club
which suspends him. Some clubs
report their ineligible players, but
it is not necessary TO do so to reserve
them"

back in town yesterday the first
