v. M. |. STOCK RISES
FOR DAVIDSON GAME

LEXINGTON, Va, October 27.-
V. M. I. foot ball stock has gone up
as result of the Flying Squadron's
clear-cut victory over North Carolina
State at Richmond Saturday, and the
Cadets are getting set now for the
Davidson game at Lynchburg this
week.
The Cadets and Wildcats have both
defeated Wofford and State this sea-
son, and the margin Of victory has
been almost the same in each case.
The two teams seem evenly matched.
For the first time during the season
the corps Of cadets will accompany
the team away from home, and with
the band will add much color to the
game.
Coaches Clarkson and Raftery ex-
pect their squad to be in good condi-
ton for the tussle with the Wildcats,
though Nabers, Kulp and Smith are
on the hospital list now.
Capt. Fain star end; Parnes, the
hero of the State game, and O'Berry,
a mainstay in the line, are perhaps
v. M. rs outstanding players, and
all appear to be in fine condition.

ldI pOSltlOH.
Ali the while you must be careful
to avoid being blocked by an opponent
who will try to keep you from going
down. BY that time you've heard the
thud of the kicker's foot on the ball
and you look over the inside shoulder
to get the direction and height of the
kick. You must learn to be a good
Judge, for you can'ts be looking back
or up all the way down the field. One
look and you determine the course OF
the ball, then you cover. ground as
fast as you can and try to be there
when the ball comes down.
In veering toward the sidelines you
meet less interference and you also
"get outside" of the receiver. The two
ends must keep outside of the receiv-
err and force him to come down the
center of the field, where the rest of
your team will surely get him.
A clever open-field runner who gets
outside" either end on returning a
punt has a good chance to get well
down the field before being downed.
If you get there before the ball
comes down into the waiting arms of
the opponent, do not crowd mp so close
that he can make the catch and dodge

Among other things, Gen. Sheriff.
maintained that the opportunities for
making money offered by professional

Gen. Sheriff. gave unqualified indorse.
ment to Mile. Lenglen's tour.
Fine" he declared. when you
tell me there Is going to be an oppor.
tunity for men to come out of the tWt
light zone in foot ball and tennis, why
I say it is a fine thing for amateur
sports. This Is a condition which will
have q wholesome effect all around.
The amateur finds an opportunity
open to him and avails himself Of that
opportunity. In vacating his place on
a college foot ball team, for instance
he creates an opportunity for some
other player below him who has been
waiting for a chance.
Can't Compete in Inducements.
Furthermore, attractive opportuni.
ties in the professional field make 1t
practically impossible for amateur
sports to compete in the matter Of In
ducements. Men who are looking for
assistance will not be attracted to anna
teur sports. They will be attracted to
professional sports
Commenting on the recognition ac
corded to amateurs who frankly be-
come professional, Gen. Sheriff. said
that their standing was greatly en-
hanced.
Turning professional has put Red
Crappo and Mile Leng1en in a class
where they are as much respected as
Babe Ruth, and wish 1t understood
that there is no one who Is a greater
admirer of Babe Ruth than l."
Gen. Sheriff. said that the move
ment of college athletes into the pro
fessional field would result in a "house
cleaning" and that was the most i'm
portant result to be accomplished by
recognizing that amateur athletes
were within their rights If they
wished to enter the professional field
1.-THE whole point Of the matter Is
this" he said, there Is something
more important than amateur1sm In
sports; it is honesty in amateur
sports"
Referring to the men whom he de
cause of the questionable methods
used to keep them in amateur sports
Gen. Sheriff. said that their elimina
ton would be boon not only to anna
teur sports but to the men themselves
He explained:
"Those fellows will not only ge,
back their money, but they will regain
their self.respect. It will be fine
thing for them to be able to go into
the class of professionals, win recogni
ton as such and earn their rewards. ,

often. The Stenographers played a
smart defensive game, and, excepting
for an occasional forward pass, East
ern was unable to advance the ball
for appreciable gains.
Sap Altman, wjry little left half
back, was the only wearer OF the
Light Blue and White to get any
where on running attack.
Business counted it's first touchdown
soon after play started, Charlie May
going over on a twisting 25-yard dash
off tackle after the Stenographers had
advanced the ball to scoring position
on successive line plunges.
An Eastern threat short time later
''flivvered" when May recovered and
punted out of danger.
In the second period the Rhode Is
land avenue warriors added two more
touchdowns, Dobrowolslli and May
scoring, following Stenographer ham,

be denied.
The third period saw neither team
with real advantage, the Lincoln
Parkers offsetting Business drives at
the line with passes.
Eastern's lone touchdown came in
the final period when Langhenry,
after taking start to his right, swept

Business again pummeled their wv
to a touchdown before the end Of the
game, Bernard Jones plowing through
from the 5-yard line. Eastern got its
forward passing game working at it's

was held for downs just before the
whistle.
