S,oan really was the balance OF
power between the two teams. his run
ming with the ball. kicking and pass
ing being the decisive factors n an
interesting game played before 5000
people on Lambeth Field. Sloan was
the man who always pulled Virginia
out of the hole when the Cavaliers
needed yardage badly and he almost
single -ha nded got Virginia's second
touchdown.

second period and made two in the
third quarter and Cardwell, The Cava-
lier captain, added the extra loint

chances nullified by Io-yard renalties
for holding, and on both of these oc-
casions the Old Liners were inside Of
Virginia's 30-yard mark. After that
Virginia took command and aided by

quarter came after the Cavaliers. aid

tically all Sloan's. the elusive 1856
pound halfback going nearly 35 yards
in two successive dashes to cross the
line after the wind had given Virginia
it's opportunity. He first dashed on
"a yards, and on the next lineup
travelled the remaining distance.

to register its final touchdown, the
Cavaliers being given the ball on the
9-yard line. After 40-yard forward

the game ended. having the ball on
the mark after a 35-yard march on
