" IR GINIA U
PLAYS BEFORE
Alumni CROWD
By CHICK KENNY

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va,
Get. 1.-Using everything in
its power>to continue It's fine
showing made in the opening
game of the season last week
against v. M. l., the University of
Virginia football team was to
battle Washington and Lee today
before an expected Homecoming
Day throng of 10000. Only in
clement weather may mar the oc-
casion.
Virginia, oy holding v. M. I. to
starring 1912 draw last Satur'
day, has been installed a 5-to-2
favorite in today's fracas over the
Westinghouse Generals, who
barely nosed out Hampden-Sydney
last week in its opener, Z to 6.
Victory today will bring the
Cavaliers closer to a possible tie
for the championship honors of
the State of Virginia. Only games
with William and Mary and v.
P. I. remain on the card and Vir-
ginia is expected to bowl over
these two opponents, if current
showings made by all teams in
volved run true to form.
Washington and Lee and Vir-
ginia are expected to place their
full strength on the field. Both
came out of their opening game
battles in fine condition.
Virginia will count upon the
triple-threat tendencies of Jim
Gillette, the 185-pound Junior half
back whose sterling all-around
play against v. M. I. last Satur-
day was a big factor in keeping
the Cavaliers abreast the Cadets.
He is counted upon again today
to be the spearhead of offensive
manuevers against the weighty
Generals with his kicking, run
ming and pass receiving.

Johnny Rebhoiz, and Izzy Vein

USE SIX PLAYS
However, George Washington,
despite the fact that it used but
six plays has a lot of blocking and
tackling to brush up upon.
Poor tackling nearly upset the
applicant for the Buff and Blue
at the start of the second quarter.
Lightnin' Lipscomb, Furman'S
star left halfback, zoomed out of
nowhere in a scrimmage play,
passed by the closing in G. w.

ling for a touchdown that would
have proved embarrassing to the
Colonial cause had not Billy Rich
ardson dumped the scooter out of
bounds. 1t was the only Furman
threat of the entire game.
George Washington was set
back on its launches in the first
five minutes of play when a poor
pass from center broke up a pos
sible march for a touchdown.
Then once again, early in the
first period, after a march of 78
yards, poor blocking bottled up
a sure tally, when Furman tight
ened to take the ball on downs in
the shadow of the goal line.
SCORE IN SECOND
George Washington's game win
ming tally came in the second
period on more or less of a break.
Sam Babich broke through to
block Lipscomb's punt and No
waskey recovered on the F'urman
Al. That break set the stage for
the Colonial march to pay dirt.
Richardson flipped a 10-yard pass
to Nowaskey who travelled II
yards to the Furman 81. Then on
an end-around. Nowaskey took the
ball and scooted to the 9-yard line.
After a crack at the line, Richard
son and NowaSkey teamed up for
a flat pass that was taken on the
goal line for the touchdown. No
waskey kicked the try for extra
point from placement, and the
ball game was over.
The second half proved a dud,
with quick kicking featuring the
battle and wearing out the ends,

If KARAKI comes out
on top, it will be the first time
he has been able to attach the
club championship to his other
laurels. In 1886 M. KARAK1
won the japanese Ambassadors
Cup, but since then has decided
it was not sporting to play for
the trophy donated by his own
ambassador. In 1887, KARAK1
