College. Appropriate ceremonies VIII
mark the opening, and Coach Young
hopes that he can come through with
a victory to celebrate the occasion, al
though he realizes full well that such
affairs often are attended by a sound
whipping. Witness what happened At
Charlottesville yesterday.
CALLAUDET Is fairly sure to take a
" drubbing at Langley Field tomor-
row afternoon unless 1t undergoes
such a complete change as seems al
most impossible.
The Kendall Green eleven hardly can
be considered strong enough to do so
very much against an eleven that tied
William and Mary.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY has no
~ game tomorrow, but will put in
some work In preparation for Its
contest with North Carolina State, at
Raleigh, next week.
The Brooklanders are laying special
stress on that contest, as they feel II
will mean much to them to win.
OF VIRGINIA seems
~ to be going backward instead OF
forward in the development OF Its
eleven. Yesterday against Virginia
worst foot ball any Virginia eleven ever
has PLAYED at least in recent yesrs.
The Cavaliers started cut fsirly well
but Just before the end of the first hall,
after they had scored long field goal
" NJ l. got a break and wound up the
half with the count to in its favor
In the second half Virginia virtually
was helpless, while w. M. !. played heads
up foot ball all the way.
Especially in the second half was the
comparison between the two elevens
very marked, If comparison could be
made between an eleven that played re-
markably good foot ball and one that
lust did not seem to care what might
happen.
And any body that takes this Virginia
Military Institute tenn for a setup had
better form another opinion. V. M. L.
has a good foot ball team. heavy. rangy
and fast. In fact, against Virginia yes
terday the Cadets played just about as
good foot ball as any v. M. I. eleven
ever has played.
Just a few minutes before the end
of the first half the Virginia team
dropped a place-kick between the up
rights from the 30-yard line, which was
the closest it ever got to v. M. is goal
line. When v. M. I. received the kick
of after that placement, "Stumpy"
Travers who is just about as round as
he is tall caught the ball on his own
l0-yard mark and from there dashed
almost unhindered down the Sidelines
to Virginia's 15-yard mark. A short
forward pass along the stdeline and
Gill, left end. was on Vtrginia's LIZARD
mark. fake weak side play and the
ball was on Virginia's 1-foot line.
line drive failed, but on the next play
Waite dived across.
v. M. I. started an offensive In the
third quarter and finally tossed the ball
across for a touchdown from the ~
ward line without Virginia man within
20 feet of Gregory. the receiver. The
fourth-ouarter touchdown was made
when Travers intercepted a forward
pass and ran to Virginias 8-yard mark.
On three plays the ball was driven
across.
a success from VirginiaS point OF view.
However, everything else was. The big,
new stadium was dedicated before
crowd Of perhaps 1900 with inspiring
ceremonies. Former Gov Harry Flood
Byrd made the presentation address on
behalf of Frederic w. Scott, donor,
while James H. Price. lieutenant gov
ernor, accepted it on behalf Of the uni
versity and the State.
The stadium Is a beautiful job and
Virginia is to be congratulated on hav-
ing such a structure. Its foot ball de-
feat meant nothing. except that 1t
dampened the ardor of Virginia people
for a day, while the stadium means a
new era for Virginia athletics.
