RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 13-
Southern Conference football teams
will have something to worry about
in the non-affiliated University of
Virginia Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers, long member OF
the conference, have number OF
games scheduled with loop members
and the word comes from the Nor
folk naval base that a steam roller
will be directed by Coach Frank
Murray. Jim Gillette and Harry
McClaugherty, who have been nurs-
ing holdover injuries, didn't look
anything like invalids Monday when
they received their first scrimmage
work.
by far the best team in the
State" said Bill BATTERY, former V.
M. I. coach.
There was some encouraging news
from conference camps too. Glenn
son mentors were not at all blue over
the towering punts lanky Banks Nc
Fadden sent far down the field in
thee Tiger practice and the speed
and stiffness shown by Sophomore
Clayton Cargill in bringing them
back.
Duke Toughens Drills.
Dukes Blue Devils-bothered by
the heat for several days-took ad-
vantage of cooler weather for stiff
workout and while not particularly
impressive, they pushed over two
touchdoWns against the third outfit.
Stuart Hoskins, veteran backfleld
ace, was back at the University of
Richmond-but not in uniform.
Spider rooters awaited some official
confirmation of rumor that he
had been offered a contract by the
Philadelphia Athletics-he is
catcher-and was being urged to
stay out of football because of pos
sible injuries.
1t will be a stiff grind for North
Cardinals Tar Heels until Friday,
when classes cut the drills to one
day. Ray Void, not satisfied with
the performance last week, has
started the hard work, with Chuck
Slagle shifted from guard to tackle
and with Bob Smith back at center.
V. M. I. Passers Impressive.
The opening of classes interfered
with Davidson's program Monday.
1t is one session day from now on.
Grey Hunter, reserve back, and B.
B. Turnage, soph lineman, have re-
ported for practice.
Pooley Hubert watched his passers
hitting their marks repeatedly at
Virginia Military Institute. The vet
Grams Son" Shelby and Paul Shu
performed well, along with Sopho-
mores Bosh Pritchard and Nelson
Catlett.
Furman's squad kept up condi-
tioning work in hot weather, while
Coach Rex Enright of South Caro-
lima promised heavy work during
the remainder of the week after an
unsatisfactory Gamecock scrimmage.
Virginia Tech learned that Brud
Montgomery, star yearling last year,
would not return. He is going to
Admiral Farragut Prep before going
to the Naval Academy year from
now.
Wake Forest Sparkles.
Washington and Lees Generals
are keeping attention centered on
passing and punting as a part of
their strategy behind light line.
Carl Voyles has devoted more than
the usual amount of time to defense
at William and Mary. The Indians
know their opponents are going to
have the ball lot of the time.
Wake Forest looked good as the
varsity bowled over the reserves,
1910, in a stiff scrimmage.
North Carolina State supporters
were encouraged by good blocking,
fast charging and accurate tackling
by Bill Windley, Norm Wiggin and
Earl Stewart. Windley is line
man, the others backs.
Observers reported new life in The
Citadel squad as the mercury stopped
it's upward march at SO degrees and
a good breeze drove off the heat.
