VIRGINIA should have an excellent
first string foot ball team next
Fall. but not much in the way OF
reserve strength, according to Gus
Tebell. head base ball and basket ball
coach at Virginia and backfield coach
in foot ball. I'VE have the max
ing of one good eleven for next Fall,
said Tebell last night just before leav-
ing for Charlottesville with his ball
team, but so far as I can see right
now we are likely to be weak In reserve
strength.
Our flrst-string backs should be
shout as good as may be found in the
section and our line also ought to meas
ure up. but Spring practice has not
brought out much reserve strength. II
there is real reserve strength we do not
know where it is"
Tebell has high praise for the pros
poets Of two backs who will be eligible
for next Fall. One is johnson. who
played last season as sophomore. and
the other is Martin, who held down
halfback's position on last seasons
freshman eleven johnson stands over
six feet and weighs 200 pounds, while
Martin is short and Stocky, but weighs
le5. Tebell says that they, as both are
fast, should be a hard pair to stop.
INCIDENTALLY Virginia has not done

jolts at the beginning of the season:
Virginia plays Ohio State. Navy and
Columbia on consecutive OCTOBER SAT

TEBELL'S ball team gave Maryland
i good trimming yesterday after
noon at College Park. The Vlrglnlan
got a good lead early in the game and
had things on easy street until the last
inning or two. when the Old Liners
picked up somewhat by virtue OF wild
pitching and timely hitting. The home
team got a few runs in the two final
chapters, but the margin was almost
hopeless for it to overcome.
Maryland played cratic ball, and
generally was loose and ineffective.
Virginia was good in all except the
final innings. but frightened up with
three on in the last one to cut down the
Black and Gold rally. Virginia has
well balanced nine, which should make
another excellent record. Navy and
Maryland are among its victims so far
