...destined to be repeated even more brilliantly the next two seasons against more dangerous opposition. Especially in 1926 did the Green make its best effort to avenge its decisive defeat of the previous year at both the hands of Harvard and Cornell. All indications pointed to a dangerous Hanoverian offering. Coach Hillman's strength this year lay in his versatile sophomores. Several stars of his 1925 Freshman team now came to the fore and eliminated his veterans. Moody, a rangy second year Green high-jumper, had cleared six feet and three inches to replace Herring, who had captured this event...

...hard fight on its hands to subdue a game team from Virginia Polytechnic Institute by 21 to 0. The southerners had a tight defense against forward passes, and the Big Green team found its aerial attack powerless. Straight drives through the line were used almost entirely in the Hanoverian offense, and a strong Virginia forward wall held this offense scoreless during the first and third periods...
