ut seems to me that we should
meet the big schools of other sec
tions as well as our own,' is the
way Driver puts it, land our peo-
pie want me to proceed on this
basis. Virginia has confined its
efforts in schedule making too
much to its own locality and
should broaden out.
This does not mean that we shall
sacrifice any Of our South Atlantic
friendships, but that, we expect to build
others as well. am not so very strong
to be Just about as easy to meet q good
team every week as to play ordinary
ones.
I'VE expect to have teams good
enough to play hard schedules. This
year the eleven Is playing consistently
good foot ball, but not as good foot
ball as it will play next year. We are
building our foot ball prospects on a
solid basis and should gradually de-
velop q system as good as any, in the
East. We have several factors to over
come and gradually are getting things
in shape. If we do not get things
going right at Virginia, both from q
standpoint of relationships with big
schools in other sections and also In
winning our share of games it viii be
our own fault, because we are getting
real cooperation from students, alum
nj and faculty. The general whole
heartedness Of the support accorded
athletics at Virginia right now mean
that everybody Is pulling together to
achieve our aims"
Driver stated last night after visit
ing Whalen at the Garfield Hospital
that the big tackle Is resting easily and
while not out of danger, still gives
every indication Of recovery. Whalen
will be out Of the lineup for the re-
mainder of the year and is going to
be greatly missed. Earl Neale, who
coached at Virginia last year, made the
unqualified statement that Whalen was
the best tackle he had ever coached.
Paul Magofin, generally recognized
as the best referee in the South, Is OF
the opinion that few foot ball games
now are played as fast as games OF some
years back. As 81
Says Magofin:
an my opinion not nearly as many
plays are run OF in foot ball game
now as were run OF some years ago.
The huddle and shifts, the former espe-
cially, are taking up so much time that
it seems to me that more than twice
the time Is taken to run the average
play that was taken in years gone by.
When the quarterback used to get up
under CENTER and hustle his team along
it was the object to run as many plays
as possible in order to gain as much
ground as could be gained in few min
utes. In other words, the more plays run
the more ground gained, or at least the
greater opportunity to gain. Foot bail
certainly seems much slower to me
than 1t did in the old days.
Comdr. Jonas Ingram, who bosses
foot ball at the Naval Academy, says
that while some of the Navy players
spoke In rather uncomplimentary terms
about the oficials In the game with
Princeton that 1t was not meant in
the least as a reflection on the that
school.
"Oficials were impartial, and think
that Princeton suffered from them let
ting the game get away from them just
as much as we did. They penalized
Princeton, too, and were apparently too
highly technical in their calling of fouls.
OF course, we run across that every once
in awhile. but it Is something that can
not be helped"
