WITH NAVY AND VIRGINIA
Cavaliers Also Possess Fastest Backfeld i'm This Sec
tion-Hilltoppers Are Experienced, But Old
Line Combination Is Green.

ana tnat virginia people are ANXIOUS
to see the team is shown by the way
they have been getting tickets. Vir-
ginians here, and especially those that
were prominent in student life at
Charlottesville. have been buying
| tickets not in twos and threes, but in
| blocks of ten to thirty. One Virginia
man walked in Spalding's day before
| yesterday and asked for SO tickets,
with the remark it would be the first
time he had seen a Virginia team play
since he left college and he was not
only going himself, but take along all
his close friends.
The Maryland and Virginia game is
to begin at o'clock, while the
Georgetown-Navy battle starts at 2:30.
Earl Neale, head football coach at
Virginia, has this year brought Vir.
ginia from what at the beginning was
indicated as a disastrous season to
what promises to be one of the most
brilliant Virginia has had. Certainly
the Cavaliers have had no season in
years in which they chalked UP such
an excellent result as was obtained in
the Washington and Lee game last
week. If the team does well in it's
remaining contests, and especially if
It beats North Carolina THANKSGIVING
Day. Neale will have done about all
that should be expected of any coach.
Daniels. who may he in the starting
lineup of the Virginia eleven tomor.
row, probably is the biggest back in
the South. Last year he was on the
Virginia freshman team as fullback
and before that was a star at Episco-
pal High. He stands about feet 2
inches and weighs over 300 pounds
At Episcopal, besides being a foot ball
star. Daniels was brilliant with the
shot and discus. Last year he was
the mainstay of Virginia's freshman
track and field team.
Charlie Mackall, captain and guard
at Virginia. is former Western High
School foot ball man. He also cap
tanned the team at Western Not
only is he fine linesman, but also is
star in basket ball, and incidentally
splendid chap personally. He does
Eirginia's kicking and enough of it's
forward passing to cover his punting.
1t is rather amusing, the position
that Dr. Mackall, Charles father finds
himself in. DR.. Mackall is a graduate
of the University Of Maryland Medi-
cal School and is a staunch supporter
of all things Maryland-except tomor-
row. For two hours tomorrow after
noon he will have Virginia's banner
raised and would be highly elated to
see Virginia win.
DOC" Dunbar, who played at Mary.
land back in 1902, came down from
New York yesterday and said: II
haven't seen a Maryland team play
since l left school, but I'm on the job
now to stay until after this one is
finished
Two Virginia men who will be here
tonight to attend the Maryland dinner
and who will remain for the game who
have done much for athletics at Vir-
ginia and played the biggest part in
the many changes wrought there in
the last two or fhree years are DIR.
George o. Ferguson. chairman of the
athletic board. and Ellis Brown, grad.
uate manager. The former is one of
the solid and progressive representa-
tives In the Southern Conference and
the latter is a man who has developed
fine relationship for Virginia with
many schools. Both have done one
big thing for Virginia in three years.
which has been to place Virginia in
good relationship with it's sister in
stitutions in the State of Virginia. And
that has meant more to Virginia than
anybody. except a few, realize.
Gallaudet yesterday finished a hard
session of practice for it's game tomor-
row with Delaware. The Kendall
Greeners are hopeful of winning,
though they realize they will have no
better than an even chance. Coach
Hughes is optimistic, but has told his
team that it will have to put forth
everything it has to finish with the
big end of the score.
Catholic University is at Worcester
for its annual setto with Holy Cross.
The Brooklanders know the kind of
team they are up against and are not
laboring under delusions as to the
task that confronts them. They hope
to win, but will be perfectly satisfied
to hold The Cross to a low score.
George Washington plays Randolph
Macon College here. The visitors do
not seem strong enough to put up
much of a battle against the local
eleven. though, as often said, anything
can happen in a foot ball game in
these days.
