...been elected captain of the Freshman football team. Church prepared at St. Paul's School, where he was captain of the school eleven, and has been holding down a regular position in the 1920 backfield since the beginning of the year. He is a fast runner and a good punter...
...University of Virginia, fresh from a 21-to-0 victory over Richmond College, was, barely beaten by Georgia in a hot, closely-contested game. This defeat, the first Georgia has been able to inflict in four years, was somewhat lessened by the appearance of Thurman, Virginia's veteran punter, who reported for practice at the beginning of the week, and who got into the game for a few minutes in the second half. His addition to the squad should be a decided strengthening of its defense, for he got off his usual long punts Saturday...
...snapping back was very poor; on the direct passes the runners would pick the ball out of the air on one side or the other, and twice the Yale punter had to reach and take the ball with one hand.

Otherwise, Virginia shapes up pretty well. P. R. Evans, an alumnus, is coaching...
...something they had lacked since 1899, a dependable ground-gaining system. It would be blinking the situation to assume that Princeton, win or lose, will have an attack which will give pause to her strongest opponents. Certainly, he has the material to work with. In Driggs he has a punter good for any distance up to sixty yards, and a man who showed late last season that he knows how to turn the ends. In Tibbott he has a dangerous open field-runner and an expert drop-kicker. In Moore he has a fast, elusive back. We shall see Princeton...
