PLAYS
Earl Neale Knows New Attack
e impossible Before
Penn Game

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct.
23.Lacking time in which to
build up a new attack for the
Pennsylvania game on Saturday
Head Coach Earle Neale, Ii drilling
thes Virginia varsity in an effort
to perfect the plays already learned
this season.
Much time IL being spent on
defensive work for Coach Neale,
realizes that against Penn, al
against Harvard, the Virginians
viii have to hold back q heavier
team. And the Pennsylvania eleven,
unlike Harvard, is composed OF grid
iron veterans, most Of whom have
had more experience than any men
on the Orange and Blue team except
Captain Maphis and Howard Holland.
Yesterday afternoon saw the
hardest practice OF the week. for
this afternoon the regulars win
hardly be driven as much as they
have for the last two days. Most
of the men are In excellent condi.
ton ana Coach Neale does not
want to run the risk OF hurting
anyone in practice.
At the practice period today
Coach Neale viii announce the list
OF the men who will leave for
Philadelphia tomorrow morning.
The squad, which will number
about twenty-five, will stop at the
Hotel Normandie until time for the
game.
Virginia win have at least one
notable supporter at the Penn con.
test for Barbara LAMAR, the well.
known moving picture actress, WIN
be on the Virginia stands wearing
Orange and Blue colors.
Miss LAMAR, who has been In
Albermarle county for. several days
selecting locations for her next
picture, was among the Virginia
supporters who saw the victory
over Virginia Military Institute,
and as she Is motoring to New
York she has made her plans 70
stop at Philadelphia to root for
the Old Dominion warriors.
Victory over the Cadets has N.
enthused the student body that
many OF them are making plans to
attend the Penn game. Alumni
OF New York. Baltimore, Washing.

to be on hand in large numbers,

Workouts and practices held now
