Washington and Lee is confident of victory, just as it w vear ago. but Virginia feels that its chances are far better. Of course, its chances will have to be much better, too, be- cause last season Washington and Lee not only won by 14 to 0, but actually s much better than Virginia than that score indicated Incidentally, the game is exceeding- Iy interesting to Marylanders because their eleven meets Virginia and Washington and Lee on the two fo lowing Saturdays. the former at Col- lege Park and the latter at Lexington.

Tomorrow will be devoted to only a light workout and the gridders will age s | leave for the scene of the battle early turday morning. Capt. Rauber and his men are con- fident of their ability to stop the vaunted aerfal and flank attacks for which Virginia is rated, and for the past 10 days have been working with this end in view. TLocal fans believe that the Generals have a diversified attack which the Cavaliers will have trouble coping with, and, if the on- slaughts on Copt. Mackall and his teammates can be stopped during the early part of the game, are firm in their belief that a Washington and Lee victory will result.

Occaslonally some team un- covered a trick which gained many vards or scored, or a player got loose and made a long run, but ordinarily, and nearly always, touch- downs were scored either on fumbles or as the result of long marches, Here the down counted for a great deal more than now. In these days of advanced strategy a team can make more than 30 downs fn a game and lose to a_team making one first down, Something like that has hap- pened a number of times in the last few years. The forward pass opened the game, more than doubled the repertoire of plays, developed new angles of de- ception, threats and possibilities for long gains. Teams now play for the break rather than for first downs, They maneuver until they have posi- tion and then go ahead.

When Michigan lined up for this play Oosterbaan was on the opposite side of the line, inside Flora, the right end. He was in the right tackle position, making left tackle the left end on this formation. Crouched behind Oosterbaan and Flora at right end was Gregory, a halfback. When the ball was snapped from center Oosterbaan and Flora ran straight ahead. with Gregory behind them.
