Virginius Dabney (February 2, 1878 – January 17, 1942) was an American college football player and coach. He served as the head coach at Tulane University in 1902.
Dabney was selected All-Southern by Caspar Whitney in Outing.[3] Virginia had a claim to a Southern championship.[4] The Cavaliers defeated Sewanee 17 to 5 to give the school its first loss since 1897. Dabney ran for two touchdowns that game. An account of one of those reads "Dabney ran twenty yards for a touchdown, the gain being largely due to the splendid interference led by Walker and Haskel.[5]
