Bergman briefly sums up Cleve-

plenty Of pepper. And, if you've

Unbeaten Eastern Eleven on Spot as Chanenges prov
Virginia to Present Great End
In Walker Against MARYLAND

Virginia, in Henry Walker, an end,
will present one of the greatest line
men in the country in it's game with
Maryland at Griffith Stadium Sat-
urday night. He recently was
named "lineman of the week" by
the Associated Press, and those who
have seen him play are agreed he
deserves such recognition.
Walker started the season at full
back, playing there against Hamp-
den-Sydney, gaining So yards in
seven tries and scoring a touchdown.
In high school at Griffin, Ga, and
last year at South Carolina Walker
played end, and because Virginia
needed wingmen he was switched to
the left flank. He performed we'll
against North Carolina State and
was even better against West Vir-
ginia, snagging three forward passes
and taking one of them over on
25-yard run for the Cavaliers first
score.
1t was in the 1918 tie with the
powerful North Carolina Preflight,
though, that he played sensationally.
Ola-timers at Virginia, comparing
him with the Cavaliers many fine
ends, say he was as good as the best
The Cloudbusters rated him the best
end to play against them this year,
and some of their coaches termed
him the best they have seen in sew
eral seasons.
He also played in bangup style in
the $40 rout of V. M. l. last week
Walker is l9 years old. stands 6
feet and weighs ITS pounds. He was
an all-State end at Griffin, where he
also won letters in basket ball and
tennis and two in track. He was
regular end for the Gamecocks last
fall but was transferred to Virginia
in March to enter the Naval Re-
serve
Maryland'S answer to Walker will
be Les DAILY, who started at end and
