VIRGINIA WELL FIXED
EXCEPTING AT ENDS

UNIVERSITY, Va, November A.
Virginia's varsity eleven this after.
noon will hold its last practice before
the Washington and Lee game, to be
played in Lexington tomorrow.
Starting the week with strenuous
scrimmages, the Cavaliers have eased
up each doy, and the final workout
is likely to be brief. All the men ex-
cept the regular ends are in good con.
dition, and Coach Earle Neale does
not want to burn out the enthusiasm
OF his charges on the eve Of an i'm
portant game.
The varsity, with Flippin and Tur.
ner missing from the TANKS, did not
have the defensive power the coaches
would like to have seen when it
scrimmage against a "Daffodil''
eleven coached in Washington and
Lee tactics.
This eleven, which included such
former varsity stars as Phillips. Hol.
land, Cuddy and Glauber, with the
best OF the first-year and scrub
squads. had little difficulty driving
through the first team.
Inherent weaknesses in the line
which were 30 obvious in the Tenes.

shift Daniel, Symington, De Butts,
Austin, Holland and Marston In the
guard positions in an effort to dis.
cover the strongest combination. All

ing. But every man Is fighting hard
for the much.sought-after privilege
Of starting against the Generals.
The varsity squad will leave here
about midmorning tomorrow and will
go directly to the place where the
men will lunch before the game. 1t
was first thought that the players
would be permitted to see the v. NJ. /.
game with North Carolina, but Coach
Neale has decided that this would
| make the hour of starting too early
| for his charges.

CHICAG0'S FINE PLAY
SPOILED BY PENALTY

CHICAGO, November 4 Gp.-Break
Ing tradition Of his Sc years of foot
ball coaching, Alonzo A. Stagg told
500 University OF Chicago alumni that
Referee Fred Gardner made a mistake
in the Ohio State-Chicago game last
Saturday when he penalzed the
Maroon eleven after lateral mass
play had been executed successfully
for a touchdown.
The referee made mistake. 1t
was an honest mistake, and we don't
hold it against him." the old man said.
He emphasized that his statement was
not an alibi. and deplored the pub
licity which attended the event.
Tho play, he explained, had been
carefully conceived and thoroughly
practiced and was perfectly executed.
II was a lateral pass from Menden.
hall to Jersid, in which the latter
scored q touchdown. Referee Ga d.
ner contended Chicago back had VIC.
lated the man-in-motion rule. called
the play back and the score did not
count.
Il saw the play clearly" said Stagg,
"and ii was executed perfectly. The
man in motion stepped back three
counts before the ball was snapped
and it was the official and not the
player who made the mistake"

play was initiated and watch develop
ments there.
The referee in general has control
| of the ball and the umpire control OF
the players: Both are assisted in
their duties by the headlinesman and
| the field judge.
See Better Than Fans.
While custom and in some cases
college organizations have defined that
these officials watch the game from
certain positions, if they could see bet
ter and judge better what was taking
place on the field from a seat in the
stands, it is probable they would be
so placed. 1t seems to be generally
agreed. however, that the man trained
to see what happens and to interpret
that happening correctly-the official
is better placed at present. even
though occupants of the stand seats
disagree with him.
In foot ball games officials have one
status that should always be remem.
bered-they have been mutually
agreed upon by both sides, and repre-
sent not only the players on the field
and the athletic departments, but also
the supporters of both teams. 1t also
probably is correct to say they repre-.
sent in the very highest sense all the
friends of clean sport

FOLEY IS HONORED
BY CENTRAL ALUMNI

William BilD Foley, veteran Gen.
trail track coach, was honored and the
Blue and White foot ball team that
was to battle it's old foe, Tech, today
was given a big send-off at meeting
held last night at the Racquet Club
by the Alumni "C'' Club of the school.
In addition to members of the foot
ball team, many present students who
have won their letters in other sports

Foley. who has been at Central for
around 80 years, was described as a
coach with a phenomenal record. He
was termed not merely a developer of
athletics but a builder of men. Rob-
ert E. Dutch) Acorn, on behalf of the
Alumni &C" Club, presented Foley
with a handsome portrait of the coach.
Acorn said that Foley admitted be-
ing at Central since 1898 and has
been there continuously from that
time. Until 1913 he never lost a
public high Spring track meet and
during his entire career his teams
have been beaten not more than four
or five times. When he first came
to Central he put up his own money
to further track activities. Acorn
pointed out that Foley was the only

Famous Foot Ball Authority and Princeton
,'Oach
y the cast this Saturday .he fea-
ture games seem to be Harvard
Penn. at Philadelphia: Ohio State
Il Princeton, at Princeton. and
Washington and Jefferson-Pitt, at
Pittsburgh.
While neither Harvard nor Penn has
made a particularly impressive record
to date, their meeting is bound to be
scolorful. This is the first time the
teams have net in more than 20
years.
Two very different styles of play
will he shown. On defense. Penn
plays hard. low-charging game, with
the ends coming in fast and strong.
PENIS defense win have the center
out of the line behind one tackle and
the fullback behind the other tackle.
with the wingbacks back about 10
yards and the safety men well back.
This is called n 6-2-2-1 defense.
This is strong againstforward passes
and the quick kick. Penn has mas
tered the six-man line better than any
team in the country-so there is little
weakness in the line defense. If Penn
has shown any particular weakness to
date. l would say it was in forward.
pass defense. Penn State completed
several passes in their game. and the
Navy won on a long forward pass.
Penn looks better in line defense than
in open.
Harvard's open play has rot been
particularly strong. HorWeen lacks
a good, shifting, open-field runner of
the Casey type. The Harvard passing
game to date has not been very eff
fective. I would say PENIS line
should be able to stop Harvard's close
attack, while l doubt if the Harvard
passing will be versatile enough to
get away. I don't see how Harvard
can score, outside of break. Penn's
defense looks too strong.
: Difference i'm Style.
On defense. Harvard has a powerful
. line. 1t will play much higher than
Penn. The ends to date have not been
so effective. The Harvard secondary
? defense looked poor against Dart
mouth, but Dartmouth has a strong
passing attack.
The Penn attack has not been sus.
tained or powerful. Penn has the
backfield material. If Brill and SculI
are in shape. they are better than any.
thing Harvard can produce. Harvard
showed Improvement against Indiana.
l look to see both teams in top form.
To sum up, Penn looks considerably
stronger on defense and a trifle better
on attack. If the Penn backfield gets
going, there may be a bigger differ.
ence in this department of the game.
On past performances, pick Penn to
win
Ohio State comes to Princeton with
a team Of tremendous possibilities. and
one that has not shown its top form.
