incidentally. Don Rutherford some
time ago was regarded As the
best prospect for q backfleld posi-
ton ever seen at Blacksburg. He
though, but this year will be out for
the team. He is regarded SO highly
at v. P. I. that it is freely predicted
in some quarters that he will beat out
Wallace for the regular position at
quarterback.

Expects TO Beat Centre.
I'VE are looking forward to Centre
College as being our hardest game,
hut lac
that school counts for anything we
should win. You know, we played
Centre 0 to 0 for three quarters and
nearly all the fourth quarter down in
Louisville. and this year Centre will
not have Bo Mcmillan and we shall
be stronger: MARYLAND, Washington
and Lee and Virginia Military Insti-
tute we regard as our most important
games: 1t seems1to me we should win
from Washington and Lee and v. M. l.,
but the clash with Maryland will be
4 regular battle royal. with not much
margin either way.
The six weeks of spring practice
we had toward the end of last year
helped our squad wonderfully and the
late start we are getting this fall
ought not to hurt us much. Our
coaching system is satisfactory, Cub

flying colors, and he has a capable

Miles Is Non-Committal.
c. P. Miles, Familiarity known to his
friends as Sally" athletic director at
v. P. l.. replies in his usual nom
committa1 way when asked about the
prospects for the team. but even he is
inclined to smile when one mentions
to him the number Of veterans to re-
turn next Monday. Incidentally, Miles
is a worker and not a talker, and prob
ably is more than any other man ever
connected with the institution re-
sponsible for the many fine achieve
ments of v. p. !. athletic teams. .
