PLAN in FALL

PLAN In FALL
Rsorganized System Of Coach
ing and Management I'M
pending at Charlottesville.
Va,
T., August 6.--With the pros
- pect Of almost every posi-
tion on the eleven filled by sea-
soned letter men and with rec
ognized system of coaching and OF
athletic management the Univer-
sity of Virginia faces a fall foot
ball season that is full of prom
ise in spite Of the schedule. which
is the stiffest that any Orange
and Blue team has had for many
years.
In the line Captain Hall, Ward
and Hays are "Y" men who are
expected 10 be on hand to look
after the guard positions, while
Clark, whose toe has been an as
set to the team for two years, and
Blackford, are counted on for
tackles. Davis will be back to
take charge Of one end, and, while
neither Niche, former captain, or
Stevenson have definitely decided
to return one or both Of them
may be back on Lambeth Field in
September.
Center is the only position in which
the return Of a last years player is
unlikely. for Hankins received an
academic degree In June and Is not
expected to return for graduate work.
although he has played only three
years on the varsity.
Behind the line there are prospects
Of letter men aplenty. Foster, and
probably Darlington. will be back in
quarter. Oppleman and Burge are
counted on as halfbacks and In full
the return Of Maphis il expected.
But the real potential strength OF
the 1s22 eleven Is In the men from
last seasons scrub and first year
teams who will be available for the
varsity this fall. Two of the most
promising of these are guards: Otto,
two years ago all-Southern man for
Florida. and. Adams. the 200 poundcr
formerly with the Yale freshmen.
Try for Hanltins.
Thesmar. captain Of the 1891 first
year team, and Walker, will try for
the place held by Hankins last year.
In the tackles Stillwell from the first
year eleven and Cutchins. Weaver
and Raney. from the scrubs. form a
likely quartet. Campbell, Brown and
DIETRICH, ex.scrubs, and Meak and
Fleming, second year men. look best
among the prospective ends.
In the backfield Arnold, ex-star
of Lynchburg College, who was most
prominent last season among the
first year knights of the gridiron, In
counted on to make a place In quar-.
from the 1890 Pittsburgh freshmen,
ment for Maphis In fullback. Taylor,
Lewis. Little and Seiders are men
now In their second year who are
rated as good backfield material. and
from the scrubs Hubbard may fall
heir to a place with the regulars.
T. ]. Campbell, who will direct
virginia's drills on Lambeth field
this fall, spent several weeks ut the
university during the spring term,
putting his men through their PAGES
in order TO become acquainted with
their abilities Coach Campbell, with
Earl G. Abell,. In charge of the line
as assistant coach, will be on hand
for practice early in September.
