best player in the Tiger line, gets a place at guard, with Dadmun, of Harvard, as a partner. Thurman of Virginia loses out even on consideration of his prowess as a punter, for the punting will be well taken care of by Maban, and besides, in the modern game of deceptive play, the wisdom of having a lineman drop back to kick is doubtful. Dadmun's play in the Yale game marked him as a guard of unusual ability, for not only did he defend his position impregnably, but time and again he took out both...
...first game was little more than a flaseo, the weak Maine team being smothered under a 37 to 0 score. As was to prove the case for many weeks, however the Blue's representative was not a team but a Blue squad of eleven men. Careless handling of Thurman's clever punts was as the chief factor in the first reverse for Yale, and Virginia took a 10 to 0 victory. By desperate plugging through the line, Yale was barely able to defeat Lehigh 7 to 6 the next Saturday, and the following week the Elis took a hollow...

...weeks ago today, by using a carefully planned defense and by taking every advantage of its opponents' tactical mistakes, defeated Yale at New Haven by a 10 to 0 score. In attack, Virginia depends on Sparr's swift line smashes on Berkeley's shifty end runs, and no Thurman's long punts and dropkicks. So far the team has no showed a disposition toward the deceptive play for it has found speed, strength, and alertness quite sufficient for victory...
Captain Mahan will do the punting and offers a good threat to the effectiveness of Thurman's punting, and with Willcox should show the southerners something in the way of fast and tricky open-field running. Whether or not the Harvard line will prove of sufficient strength to let King and Whitney get in some effective line-plunging, remains to be seen. Whichever way the situation is regarded, the University eleven is today in serious danger of meeting a tartar...
