Football Game Saturday (Continued from first page) the general failure to get vim and ging-er into the play the principle ob stacles of the team as a whole. The first two of these difficulties he believ ed were fast disappearing but the latter one seemed to cling the longest. The coach expressed himself as a great believer of heated, energetic play. The man who does not put his whole soul in his work stands little chance with him. If men don't in tend to put their hardest work and snappiest ginger into every maneuver it is the opinion of Mr. Brides that they should give place to men who will. When a player appears to have lost interest or is not doing the best of which he is capable, the coach will immediately put in his place a man who will do so. He stated that abso lutely no favoritism was to be shown, one man should have the same chance as another, be he monogram man or not. The best man in the opinion of the Coach and Capt. will play the po sition regardless of who he is or what he has formerly done. Mr. Brides complimented highly the work of Capt. Garrett and expressed his belief that the men could not do better than to each one take him as their example and try to imitate his untiring energy and dogged endurance. His steady work and excellent generalship is do ing a great deal in moulding out a strong team. Such is the opinion of our coach. Scrimmage in earnest started Satur day, but was, as the scrimmage since then has been, short and snappy. Coach Brides is a man who believes in scrimmage as much as any other coach, but he does not believe in wearing out his men in excessive, prolonged con tests. And in this he is wise. Take for instance, our situation before the N. C Va. game at Richmond. Some of our best men were disabled, others out of the game on account of too much scrimmage during the week before. Formerly the men lined up about four o clock, and bucked the lines till six This year there will be a change. The lining up will not as a rule exceed twenty minutes, but during those min utes there will always be something doing. The spectacular feature of Saturday's play was a drop kick faom the 35 yard line by L,. Dek.- Belden. Monday's scrimmage was unusually short. Be fore the students ran the team off the field, however, the playing of Winston at end and of Belden and Wakely in the back field attracted attention on the sidelines. The first regular game between the Varsity and scrubs oc curred Tuesday. Captain Garrett's men defended the west goal, and won the twenty minute heated play by the score of 8 to 0. Belden's drop kick was of the sensational order. "Mack" Williams' line bucking and head work did much towards scoring the touch down. Crosswell made several long gains through the scrub line by .pick ing his holes and by fierce line plung ing. His work was of the best. It can truly be said that no coach in the memory of the present student body has made a more pleasing im pression than has Coach Arthur E. Brides. Coming as he does from that time-honored institution, Yale, and having as he has the unsurpassed re cord of the highest type of American college athletics, the Yale football team; it could scarcely be otherwise. And yet we think that his remarkable take with the students consists neither in his institution nor in his athletic record, though these are much in themselves, but in his striking person ality and masterly manner of handling men. R Good Star Course (Continued from first page) plause from audiences in the past are solos upon the violin and cello. On April 6 the learned Dr. E. A. Sterner will deliver an address on Tolstoy. Of him, Dr. Henderson says, 'Although I do not know him person ally, I am sure that he must be an authority on the famous Russian auth or." This engagement will conclude the Star Course for the coming year. With Other Colleges University of Virginia, Sept. 21. With a squad of fifty-odd men going thro the daily preliminary practice on Lambeth Field, Head Coach "Johnny" Neff of the University of Virginia football team is whipping into shape the eleven to represent the University in the first game of the sea son with William and Mary next Sa turday. The nature of the practice has been such as to give any idea as to Virgi nia's prospects for the season, but the coaches are sounding the new .material with an eye to filling the vacancies caused by the loss of last year's stars. Oscar Randolph of the Theological Seminary; Charlie Crawford and Bob Graham are assisting Coach Neff, who is ruled out himself by the four-year rule. Hammond Johnson of Norfolk, arrived yesterday to help out these four, and it is hoped that Bev Pollard, who distinguished himself several years ago, and is now a doctor in the navy, will answer the call the athletic associ ation has sounded. Coach Neff stated today that because several men that he had been counting upon have not shown up, he is unable to make any claims as to whether Vir ginia will make the showing of last year, when she won the championship of the South. Only six of last season's team have come out on the field this season. They are Holladay, Geyer, 1 Murphy, Stanton, Bowen and Cecil. ' Captain Honaker has not arrived. "Speed" Elliot, last season's all-Southern end, is expected to arrive Monday, atltho this is doubtful. Yancey and Colfee are both in college, but it is not thought that either will be candidates for the team. Gloth, selected last year by Walter Camp as third choice for ail American center, and now coaching the V. M. I. team, will be badly miss ed at his old position. It is upon Stanton, especially, that the undergratuades are counting to maintain the university's athletic pres tige, and several men from the prepar atory schools and last year's scrub team are expected to get the position. G. A. Dovell, who was taken sick last season after he had won a place on the team, is a formidable candidate for guard, and Thraves of last season's scrubs will make a strong bid for tackle. ' Unless Honaker returns before Sa turday, Gooch, the dashing little quarterback, will probably play in the game. Archie Christian of Woodbury Forest, and Arthur Hitch of Episco pal High School are among the most promising from the prep, talent. The coaches are getting the men familiar with the forward pass, which is expected to constitude one of the most valuable plays under this year's rules. Conditions are more promising than they were the first part of last year when the undergratuades dispaired of having a winning team. At least twenty old stars will return to help out the alumni system of coaching. Experts at the game realize that with neither Honaker nor Gloth back, respective captains of this year's and last year's teams, the situa tion could be considerably better. That there is a possibility of Cone Athletic park being selected as the battlefield for the annual Thanksgiv ing football game between the univer sities of North Carolina and Virginia was made known to the members ofj the local alumni association yesterday and a meeting of the association has been called by Secretary Swift for Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock to con sider the proposition and inaugurate a campaign looking towards the se lection of Greensboro as the place for playing the annual game this year. There have been many demands by the alumni of the University of North Carolina that this state be given an equal opportunity with Virginians of seeing these annual contests between the ancient rivals, and the members of the association in this city have been given reasonable assurance from the alumni of the state and from par ties at the University that if the peo ple of Greensboro show the proper interest there is a good chance to have the game this year transferred from Richmond to this city. A prominent member of the alumni association was in the city yesterday conferring with members of the local association and hotel men and he stated that if the management of the athletic associations of the two uni versifies were eiven assurance ot a liberal patronage from Greensboro and surrounding towns it was more than probable that repeated demands of the alumni of the state for a game on North Carolina soil would be given consideration by the managers of the respective teams. It is also stated on good authority that Pres. Alderman, of the University of Virginia, favors the plan of rotating the annual Thanksgiving game, and that he will give his support to the selection of Greensboro if the people of the city show that they will give a proper at tendance. These games have always been played in either Richmond or Norfolk, and while these cities are both twice the size of Greensboro, it is pointed out that wjtb the excellent railroad facilities of this city it will be able to draw a crowd equal to Virginia cities. Another great advantage favoring the selection of this city is its excel lent railroad facilities and central lo cation. Should the game be played here parties wishing to see the game from almost any section of North Car olina or Virginia could make the trip here and return home the same day, while it requires two days to make the trip to Richmond from most any section of North Carolina. It is also pointed out that if the game should be played on North Carolina soil one year and in Virginia the next, a greater interest would be created in the game by the people of both states, and a greater college spirit manifested in the annual contest between these old time rivals. -Greensboto Daily News.
