...spite of the fact that the coaches were expecting an easy game next Saturday, and hoping to get off with as few injuries as possible, it now seems that they are going to have a harder battle than they either expected or desired. Virginia, which showed its strength by defeating Rutgers 7 to 0, comes to the Stadium like Centre College, primed to give all it has to defeat the University...

Buell still seems to be the choice for quarter in spite of the good showing that Fitzgerald made Saturday. He uses his head so well in the selection of plays, drop-kicks so expertly, and runs the team so capably that he will be a hard man to oust from his position...
