lound it Impracticable, to servo longer,

REiwrlLK OF THE TEAMS.
The records of the two elevens show
how evenly matched In playing strength
they arc this year. Virginia has played
tho following games, with tho ?cores
given:
Virginia, 20; St. Albana, ?. .
Virginia, 37; Randolph-Macon, ?.
Virginia, 28; Washington and Lee, ?.
Virginia, 5; Navy, G. (Lost through a
fumble.)
Virginia, ti; Kentucky. 0.
The Virginia Polytechnics have played
fewer games than the University, and In
few cases the same teams. The Blacks
burg team defeated the St. Albana eleven
1.11 to 0, and walloped the Agricultural and
Mecha ni?, d College of North Carolina 21
to 0. while the strong Virginia Military
Institute eleven could only defeat the
Aggies by G to ?. Georgetown, which
held Princeton to a score of 5 to 0, only
defeated Ht. Albans 26 to 0, while tho Vir?
ginia Polytechnic Institute scorod 20
?gains! the jamo team. Last year the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute eleven,
with almost the same team, dofoated
Georgetown and played Virginia a game
hi -which the 'Varsity could score hut
once by the hardest kind of work on their
own groumlH.
These scores Indicato that the Virginia
l-olytochnlo Institute cloven will probably
play Virginia to n tie or hold thorn to a

proud orange und blue. There Is abso?
lutely no doubt that it Is going to be a
