TIME best base ball team the
University of Virginia has
had in 10 years came here
this morning on its way to
Annapolis to play Navy. This eve
ming the team is to return here
to remain for a contest with
Maryland Monday. Opinion is
that the Cavaliers have an even
chance in both games.
Virginias nine is doing about what
other Virginia teams have done since
the first OF the year, winning by far
the big majority of its games. Prac-
tically every college that has played at
Charlottesville has left with the opin-
ion that the team is the best in the
last decade. And nearly everybody also
has gained the opinion that it is due
more to the excellent coaching of Gus
Tebell than to any exceptional ma
terial.
<'TN regard to our base ball team, l
l. should like to pay real tribute
to Gus Tebell, who coaches it,
because he deserves all the praise we
can give him for the work he is do
ing" said Jimmy Driver, Virginia's di-
rector of athletics, who is with the
squad. "Tebell not only is a good dia-
mond coach but he knows all branches
of college athletics and, what is far
more valuable, is able to handle men
and get along well with them"
Actually, VirginiaS record in inter-
collegiate competition since the first of
the year is one in which it may well
take pride. The Charlottesville school
has won rs per cent of all its contests
in basket ball, boxing, track and base
ball, both varsity and freshman, and
indications are that it is on the high
road to success it has been hoping for
and expecting Incidentally, it is
should measure up well above the
standards of the last few seasons.
What is happening at Virginia is
that Drivers hard work of the last two
years is bearing fruit. And from now
on Virginia is likely to prove a most
worthy opponent for any school it
meets Virginia's record of the next
few years will bear out the statement
made in this column when Driver first
took charge there, namely, that he
would put Virginia into the fine position
it once held as a leader in Southern
athletics.
DUMORS have come from Charlottes-
IN vile from time to time that there
was some intention to drop lacrosse
after this year. However. Drivers
feeling in regard to the game is any
thing but that. 1t is the Virginia
directors intention to develop the sport
and to back the large squad. which he
SAYS Is intensely interested in it.
Despite the fact it played only two
games, between 40 and so men have re-
manned out all Spring and, with the
season thing of the past, good many
of the squad still are practicing. I'VE
are not going to drop any sport as long
as there is such keen interest in it as
some Of our men are taking in lacrosse"
said Driver.
EHALLAUDET is the only local school
~ competing on its home field today
1t mas a dual track meet with
Lynchburg College.
Georgetown's base ball team is at
Worcester to meet Holy Cross in game
which usually typifles about the best on
college diamonds.
After looking at some motion pictures
Of foot ball game played last Fall,
Dutch Bergman, Catholic University
coach, spoke up with the opinion that
as an aid to coaching and scouting
there is no other one thing that equals
the slow movies why" said Bergman,
'the camera catches things in the play
of both teams that no persons eye
would catch, and you can keep the
actual working of the play before you
on a screen just as long as you desire.
You can stop the film at any point and
give the squad the benefit of seeing
their own mistakes. When the camera
catches a player making false moves,
the coach does not have to convince the
player that the mistake was made. Any
Team that takes motion pictures for
scouting purposes and plays another
team that does not has an immeasure-
