TENNESSEE FEARED
BY VIRGINIA eleven

UNIVERSITY, Va, October 27.-'
Tennessees powerful team is the next
gridiron foe to be met by the Virginia
varsity eleven, and the reports that
have come from Knoxville of the
strength of the veteran Volunteers
indicate that the Cavaliers will be in
for a hard and hot Saturday afternoon.
For four weeks the Virginia team
has shown steady improvement, and
the eleven that took the measure of
V. NJ. I. and V. p. l. on successive
Saturdays has little in common with
the team trounced by Georgia save in
name. But playing this Tennessee
crowd is going to be a different propo-
sition.
Tennessee has a team of experienced
men who know how to play hard but
clean foot ball. Dick Dodson heads a
crew of ground-gaining backs who will
be hard to stop, since they get in ac-
ton behind a line that is more sea-
soned than any that the Cavaliers
have faced this season.
Virginia will enter the game with
six or seven players who are serving
their first Fail in the positions they
are playing, the exact number depend
ing upon the condition of some Of the
injured. Capt Cardwell and Luke,
the two tackles, are the only veterans
playing in the line.
Daniel, the 200-pounder who is serv.
ing as guard, started out as a full
back last year. He did not work we'll
in the backfield and he was tried at
tackle and at end. but with little sue
cess in either position. After warming
the bench through several games,
Daniel requested the coaches to give
him trial next to the center, and his
play in the V. NJ. 1. and V. P. I. games
has been so successful that the place
probably will be held through the
season.
Hofheimer is another lad who has
shown up well when put to the test.
Hofheimer was sent into the v. M. l..
game to take the place of Flippin on
end when the big holder of the ma.
tional pentathlon title was hurt. Play.
ing a great game, especially on de-
fense, against the Cadets, and a week
later against V. p. l., he has been
highly praised.
1t may be that both Flippin and
Turner will be kept out of the game
with the Vols on account Of injuries.
in which case Hofheimer will be paired
with Meade. Meade, who is captain
Of basket ball, has been a substitute
end for two seasons.

A NNAPOLrS, October 27.-In line
" with Ingram's policy of stress
"A ing speed and activity more
1 a than strength and weight. the
Naval Academy now has line
averaging a little less than IT'S pounds
in weight, one of the lightest that
institution has ever had.
This is the line which, barring
something unforeseen, will start the
game against Pennsylvania In Phila'
delphia on Saturday. Several recent
changes have been made. and in every
case but one, where little dlnerence
was made, all OF the changes have re-
suited in diminished weight. In fol'
lowing this policy, Ingram is un'
aoubtedly influenced by the principles
followed in the Middle West, as COM
paratively light, but speedy and ag-
rressivs linemen are the rule.
Heavier Men Injured.
Several heavier line candidates have
been handicapped by injuries. but the
nresent line looks like the final seiec-
ton of the coaches after having looked
over their material during early prac-
tice and during the first hall OF the
season.
The present line. with weights Of
players, is:

\ sociation and class managers
" of sports were elected at the
initial meeting of the organ

Sara MartZ, a sophomore, was

Sophomore stick wielders won the
onening game in the George Wash
ington University inter-class hockey
series yesterday, defeating the fresh
man eleven, to 2, on the Eilipse
Field.
Failure to make the most of their
scoring opportunities cost the Fresh
men the victory rather than a lack
of teamwork, for in the latter respect
thev held their own against their
more experienced opponents. Several
clear shots missed the goal posts at
critical moments. one of which would
have tied the count near the close
of the first half. Psychologically,
that goal would have been worth
much more to the Frosh than the
single tally it would have added to
their count.
Spurred by their lead. the Sopho-
mores played q fast game in the
second session, which kept the losers
on the defensive most of the time.
Naomi Crumley. Sophomore right
wing, was one of the outstanding per-
formers for the winners. Ruth
Chindblom showed a canny eye for
the goal, scoring three Of the Sopho-
mores' tallies. Sarah Reed Gagged
the fourth.

sent one shot home for the Freshmen's

OHIO STATE DRILLS

Chicago Eleven Is Alert in

camps of Big Ten teams look

conference games.
Ohio State, shaken briskly by dis
appointed and somewhat disgusted
alumni. was reported to be getting
angry enough TO plow its way through
almost any kind of opposition.
This condition at Columbus has not
encouraged Coach Stagg. The Chicago
eleven has been warned repeatedly
throughout the week to look for lots
OF trouble when the starting whistle
blows at Ohio State. The Maroons
figure that Coach Wilce. at Columbus,
and the Ohio State team itself, will be
warning as never before TO answer
the deluge of criticism that followed
their defeat by Northwestern and
Michigan.
Chicago has beaten Purdue and In
diana of the conference and Pennsyl.
vania of the East, but Stagg has
pointed out to his squad that those
three victories won't mean anything
against Ohio.
Iowa, decisively shut out by Mime
sofa last week. has fortnight's lay
off from Big Ten play. The team is
being pointed to the Illinois game.
Illini Fear Wolverines.
Illinois, itself, with a one-point VIC
| tory over Northwestern as its single
| performance in the Big Ten competi-
| ton, looked ahead to Saturdays home
| coming game at Urbana with the
usual misgivings which characterize
the Illini whenever Michigan is the
opposition.

Coach Zuppke's men work out yester-

At Ann Arbor, emphasis was laid on

has scored against Michigan this sea-

Navy to Depend on Light Line
In Saturdays Game With Penn

proving with every game, and with
the addition of Miller, the running at
tack should be much stronger against
Penn than in any game the Navy mas
played this year.
In the matter of varying it's passing
plays. the Navy is hardly equaled by
any team in the country. Any back
may be the passer and any back or
end the receiver, and opponents never
know the kind of play that is coming
or the players who will take the major
parts in it.
In the first game of the season,

threw 81 passes. Twelve of these were
completed and none was intercepted.
