M. i 42 I HE First Year Team of 1926 maintained the high standard of its immediate predecessor and went through the season without losing a meet in four starts. Victones over Woodberry Forest, Maryland, Washington and Lee, and V. M. I. in outdoor competition together with a creditable indoor record rank it amongst the best of Cavalier yearling aggregations. The oung Cavaliers, running in the Lord Reading Club Invitation Meet in Rich- mond, lost to the Fork Union Military Academy mile relay. The Virginia quartet was composed of Mirmelstein, White, Thomas, and Beasley. In the University of Richmond Inoor Meet, however, the same four brought back the South Atlantic cham- pionship freshman cup by defeating the cub teams of William and Mary and the University of Richmond. The outdoor season opened with a hard-earned 65-52 victory over Woodberry Forest. Neely, former Woodberry captain, took high-point honors with wins in the 220 and the low hurdles and second place in the I 00. Maryland was swamped by the Cavalier yearlings 105 2-3 — 1 1 1-3. The Orange and Blue took twelve of the thirteen firsts and all thirteen second places, granting the Old Liners but one win and six thirds with a tie for another. Washington and Lee succumbed to the Virginia cubs, the count being 84 to 33. The Young Cavaliers took nine firsts and made a clean sweep in the 880, mile, high jump, and shot put. In the final meet of the vear the First ' ear Team took the measure of V. M. I. 76 to 42. 343

Football, 1926 I HOUGH requiring two games in which to get started, the 1926 First Year football team, under the painstaking tutelage of coaches Diffey, Holland, and Bramble, stars of the 1925 Varsity, at last hit their stride in the third gridiron encounter of the season and embarked on a scoring spree that did not meet a subsequent setback. The three-out-of-five record and the immense scores garnered at the expense of unwary opponents stand out in pleasing contrast to the wholesale yearhng reverses of the year before. The impregnable defense and the versatility of attack attained before the season ' s end recalled the superb form of the memorable undefeated First Year team of 1923. Commencing the schedule with the V. M. I. Freshmen Cadets on Lam- beth Field, October 15th, the young Cavaliers put forth an enthusiastic fight, but were forced to accept an 8 to defeat from the more successfully trained visitors. A reorganized line-up lent new strength for the affray against the Maryland Freshmen the following week, but again the invader was victorious. Smarting under the recollection of this twofold reverse, the Yearlings jour- neyed to Lexington a week later and sated their vengeance upon the unsuspect- ing little Generals to the tune of 26 to 0. Reassured and confident of their own powers, the First Year eleven welcomed the V. P. I. Freshmen on Lambeth Field November 5th with a brilliant display of passing and straight football, amassing a total of 33 to their visitors ' zero. The ball remained in V. P. I. territory almost throughout the game and the Virginia goal experienced hardly a single threat. The concluding game of the year proved a more evenly balanced en- counter, though resulting inevitably in victory. The First Year men met the Tar Heel Freshmen in Chapel Hill November 20th and defeated them, 16 to 13, in a gratifying preliminary to the Cavalier Thanksgiving triumph over Carolina of several days later. Faulconer, Byrd, Sloan, and Kaminer stood out as the individual lumi- naries of the season. Together with a galaxy of associates on this year ' s First Year team they may be expected to bring a brilliant future to the 1927 Varsity. :3451
