Captain Murray's eleven easily overcame the University of Virginia team 47-0 on October 25, exhibiting a far surer and more finished game than they had hitherto played. Excellent interference cleared the path for long runs by Murray, Humphrey and Church. The latter played an all-around smashing game and scored two touchdowns by his line plunges. During the very first minute of play Murray tore off 42 yards which was shortly followed by a touchdown by A. Horween '20, made after a 20-yard run. On the kick-off afterwards Humphrey ran back the ball 67 yards...
...extricated his Third Army from its almost hopeless situation beyond the Isonzo, has reestablished his front and has taken up a strong defensive position behind the Tagliamento River.

For the first fifteen minutes the forwards were sent down the ice in lines against five backs in order to develop quicker and surer passing than they have been showing recently. This was followed by a short fifteen minute scrimmage between the regulars and a scrub team composed of the B. A. A. backs and the second string forwards, who distinguished themselves by scoring two goals while the University seven was unable to secure one. The second...
