[Speclal to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.] Ashland, Va., November 10.?Ran dolph-Macon Is talking, singing, hoping, thinking of nothing else these days except the game on Saturday wlth Hampden-Sldney. In Rlchmond. The team of Yellow Jackets has been grad? ually develop. d, and according to stu? dent oplnlon, hns plenty of reserve power as yet untouched. lt this estlmate be true. it is certaln that all the strength of the squad will be concentrated ln Saturday's game. Thc team is in good condition and ls worklng falthfully and hard. Rlch? mond will see a hard game. Is tha promise of the players. .lust what the outcome wlll be only time wlll tell. Rootlng practlce is being held every night in the college chapei, under the directlon of Chlef Rooter Nolley and hls assistant, Wiliis. The entire stu? dent body wlll go to the game. Reports from Hampden-Sldney say FEARED DEFEAT: E Such Is the Explanation for Call ing Off Contest between A. & M. and W. & L. Great is the indlgnatlon among the student body of Washlngton and l_ee Universlty over the cancellatlon of the gamo wlth the Agricultural and Me? chanical College, of North Carolina. whlch was scheduled for Roanoke on November _. In the current issue of Uing-Tum Phi, tho weekly magazine ? if the universlty. are two edltorials ileallng with tho cancellatlon. ln the oplnlon of tho edltor of Ring Tum Phi there was little excuse for cnlling the game off Tho real cans. for refti-trig to play seems to be that the Washlngton and T.ee team was ln such a crlppled condition as a result o? tho game wlth V. P. I. thnt defeat appeared inevltable, and the student members of the executlve committee, Athletlc Association, decided that it was netter to doclare the gamo off than to play wlth defeat certaln. Slx of tho varsity men would liave beon out of tlio contest, and substl tutes would nocessarlly have been used. Al n suhsequent meetlng of tho student oxecutlve oonimltteo of the Athletlc Association, each member of the committee declared himself as opposed to rancelling the game, hut the orlglnal action wns not resclnded. in? stead, an appeal was made to the faculty athletlc commltteo, whieh body decided ln favor of thc action taken by tho student committee. Rlng-Tum Pln asks edltorially whether all .ames nre piayed to wln. "Now, ln passing," says the edltorlal, "do wc* play only to wln? Wlnnlng ls nood. better than lu..ng; but defeat is sweeter to a true sportsman than a chlldlsh loss by default." with whlch Bentlnient all true sportsmen will agree. It seems n pity thnt Wash? lngton and Lee should deelnre openly that a game was cnnccllcd because defeat seemed a result. The only one r loeming feature of the whole affalr is that the student body wns and Is heartlly opposed to any such action. It seems certaln thal there wlll be no rocurrenco of such action. The A. anrl M. wlll Im flnan clally relmburaed for any outlay in preparlng for the game.
