...Coach Jones, has decided not to make any special preparations for the Brown game in spite of the fact that the Providence eleven is certain to give them a hard fight, but to devote their entire time and attention to improving the playing of their second and third string men who will undoubtedly be needed in either the Princeton or Harvard games, and to the reconditioning of Captain Callahan, Aldrich, Acosta, Murphy, and Dickens, all of whom have been out of the game for quite a while...
While the first string men were busy running through signals, team "B" staged a vigorous scrimmage against Dr. Bull's second eleven. In this game, team "B" demonstrated its general superiority by taking the ball down the field two times in succession to their opponents 10-yard line. However, the coaches decided not to let them score, and gave the ball to the second team in the middle of the field. Nevertheless, the scrubs were unable to gain through the line of their heavier opponents. Knapp at halfback and Sturm at fullback were the individual stars of team...
Virginia came, saw, and--gave a thoroughly creditable account of itself Saturday, displaying an assortment of short, over-the-line forward passes that for the better part of the game baffled the University's second-string secondary defense and served to liven up for the gathering of supporters what was otherwise a comparatively unthrilling performance. Fourteen of the University's 24 points were registered in the second half, when the Virginians' strength was waning, and fresh Crimson substitutes gave the home team a decided advantage. Considering the cold weather, to which residents of Charlottesville are hardly acclimated, the Southerners' play...
Virginia's line-play was scarcely on a par with that of the Crimson second-string forwards, especially around the centre, where Tierney, though unsteady at passing, was excellent on the offense. The Orange and Blue wings put up a mighty good game, notably Newman, who shared pass after pass for short gains right under the eyes and from the midst of the University backfield. He and Captain Michle, on the other extremity of the line, were down the field, fast under Rinehart's low punts, but had little open-field tackling to do, since the punts were usually driven...
...victory was not without its price, several of the first string men were retired with injuries of varying degree. Jenkins left the game with a bad knee, the seriousness of which has not been ascertained. Kernan and W. N. Gates both dislocated their shoulders, while C. Hubbard suffered a broken nose. Gates is the only one of this trio badly hurt, and may not play for the rest of the season...
