The problem of replacing Hutter is
a serious one, for this 190-pounder
from Lvnchburg has not only served
as one Of the chief factors in the Vir-
sinia offense, but his work in backing
up the line has added greatly to the
strength of the secondary defense.
Hutter's ability as ball carrier in
smashing drives through the line has
been one of the foundation stones upon
which Coach Neale has constructed the
puzzling attack used by the Cavaliers.
The constant danger that he may
