-'§PORTS., * ite, V. M. 1. Fullback, Is Great Player LEXINGTON. TEAM’S STAR IS PRAISED. BY OFFICIAL Magoffin Declares Him to Be Best in South and Prob- ably Most Proficient Punter in Country—Mary- land Has Many Casuals. BY H. C. BYRD. HITE, fullback of the Virginia Military Institute, is one of the greatest punters I have ever seen and one of the best all-round players,” is the way in which “Maggy” Magoffin, who referees many of the jmportant contests in the south, answered a question ‘put to him concerning the capabilities of the man doing such stently brilliant work for the Lexington institution. Much has been written about White as a foot ball player, but probably Magoffin's words can best be used to describe him and his qualities. “In practically every department of play White is good,” went on Magoflin; “so good that I believe him to be the best player in the south. White is fast, can run around an end, can hit the line, is capable on de- fense, and, in short, is able to do about everything there is.to be done on a ioot ball field. “However, oge department in which White comes near béing the best man | 1 have ever seen {s punting. If hel could learn to straighten his foot just| a Mttle more, I feel” sure that he would be the greatest kicker of all time. One punt he got off in the Vir- at Charlottesville just a HABO a marvel. He stood at the back of the end zone, ap- proximately nine yards behind® the goal line. The pass to him from the Center was none too et White | got off 2 tremendous Kic fthe ball sailing through the air unti it struck the ground 68 yards away., and then had suflicient momentum to roll to the 2 d lime, where a Vir- ginia man fell on It.

MANY GAMES BEING WON BY BATTING DOWN BALL Kicker No Longer Can Feel Fairly Safe—Teams Now Not Holding Off Until Late Stages of- Game to Use Open Play BY WALTER CAMP. EW YORK, November 7.—Look out, from now on, for the scientific punt blocker. It has not yet dawned upon the general public that there are certain tacticians who have made a study of blocking punts, and that the results of this study are likely to be of great importance. Indeed, the new departure already is reaping its reward. The punter who has been in the habit of feeling fairly safe with his protection, suddenly finds a loose man coming through somewhere, and right down his alley. . There. is the terrible sound of the ball striking a man and then a mad scramble after it, with more than an even chance that the side which had blocked the purt gets a touchdown. Stanford lost her game to Southern twelve of which were successful, for California_out on the Pacific coast|a gain of 161 yards.
