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.

Coach Ryan is troubled principally over the backfield situation, which is so critical because of the many injuries. A new possibility for a running position showed up in R.

...itself in a precarious position by losing for the season, it is feared, two of her best men, Tom Dickens, who was regarded as the best tackle on the squad, wrenched his knee so badly that he will be shelved until next year. As Bob Lay, who was first string backfield material last year until injured, bruised both his arm and leg Saturday, it is now expected that he will be lost to the team for the second consecutive season. At present the hospital list totals 10, including Dickens and Lay; Peterson, halfback; Thorne Murphy, quarterback; Captain Callahan, center; Acosta...
...eleven which last season so decisively defeated Princeton, the Yale players will start preparation for the game with Colgate. Due to the latter's poor showing this season, they are not expected to offer much opposition. However, Yale is taking no chances of losing any more of its first-string men, and this slight rest will be distinctly welcome...
