BACKFIELD WORRYING
COACHES AT VIRGINIA

UNIVERSITY. Va, September 29-
Development of varied attack for
the University of Virginia team has
taken up much Of the practice period.
How to use his backfeld men so as
to present the strongest combination
on defense as well as on offense is a
problem to>which Earle Neale. head
coach, is giving attention.
Last season Virginia played an ex-
cellent defensive game, but the weak
ness was in the assault against the
enemy goal:
This year things may be different.
Whether they will or not depends
upon whether Coach Neale can COM
bine speed and drive in the backfield
with good defensive play. Absence of
Sam Maphis, captain last year, will
weaken the defense. He seldom was
used as a ground gamer.
Diffey. captain and quarterback, was
the mainstay in the Virginia attack
last year. but he was called on to do
more than one man should.
So far this year the backs have been
divided between two teams. Diffey,
Cuddy. Walp and Laird, letter men.
with 10th, varsity substitute. have
been worked together.
The backf1eld quartet. which played
together as first year men, has also
been kept as a unit. This includes
Hushion, Hutter. McCafferty and Cald
we'll
Diffey, Cuddy. Walp and Laird
make fast backfield, but a light one.
10th can add speed, but no weight.
Hushion and McCafferty will neither
ipcrease the weight average to any
great extent.
1t is to- Hutter and Caldwell that
Neale is looking for his weight and
his drive. These men are almost a
pair for size, each tipping the scale at
1S5 pounds and both measuring a
fraction over feet l inch. Neither
is very fast.
Diffey weighs only 153, Walp 165
and Laird 1877 Both Cuddy and 10th
are 150-pounders. 10th is a good
punter. while Cuddy's strength, in
addition to his ability to carry the
ball, is in his blocking and tackling.

| Reading and Faber are others of capa-
bilities.
Besley, Supplee and Tenney have
been doing most of the kicking, with
Wheichel trying his hand. Pugh and
Stevens are drop-kicking with ac-
Curacy, the former being particularly
effective. Tenney, Linkous, Whelchel
and Besley all are good passers, with
| the first named being unusually
clever. Linkous, too, is good along
| this line.
Getting a backfield combination
that is strong both on offense and
defense is the task. From a strictly
! offensive standpoint quartet readily
| could be picked.
c. L. Perfects Fundamentals.
Coach Jack McAuliffe, with plenty
of time to get ready for the opening

than teach the Catholic University
