Those who are fond of arguing the relative merits of the running, passing and kicking attack will be interested to know that the actual statistics covering all touchdowns made this fall by all the college elevens of the United States, excepting only those touchdowns which were made from plunges within the 5-yard line, disclose that the most frequent method of scoring has been by forward passes.

The 1917 team was known as "The Fighting Dentists" because on occasion every position was filled by dental students. (University of Pittsburgh) South’s Oldest Rivalry Needs a Jumpstart By Kevin Edds “No jokes, no flattery, no sympathy. This is a serious business.” These were the words spoken by U.Va. President Edwin Alderman to a crowd of supporters at a “football mass meeting”—or pep rally—in 1924. The scene was the precursor to the U.Va.-UNC football game, a rivalry that was born in 1892. That initial matchup was so popular they decided to play twice that season, with U.Va. winning the first, UNC the second. The latter was part of a Thanksgiving week football tournament in Atlanta that included Auburn, Duke and Georgia Tech, with teams playing as many as three games in five days. No joke. And no sympathy for weary players. Talk about a serious business. I read Alderman‟s notes for his speech (many thanks to Ann Southwell of the Special Collections Library staff for first discovering them) while researching my documentary “Wahoowa: The History of Virginia Cavalier Football” now available at The UVa Bookstore.
