it la still talked of In the football
world. The Thanksgiving game for
this fail has been arranged with
Georgetown University, and there lii;..
ly will not bo any dispute as to what
city the c.nlet corps will visit with
lhe football team this fail. Athletic
relations with North Carolina A. & M
were severed after the Thanksgiving
game in Norfolk last season, follow?
ing u disagreement over the eligi?
bility of certain players, and these old
rivals of the Techs win not be on the
sell.dole this year.
Although practice did not begin until
after the Christmas holidays and there
are practically ho facilities for Indoor
work, the Tech basketball team Is
having tin: most successful season In
Us history. Not a game has been lost,
and in the one with Walte Forest here
Wednesday the nun showed cxc< llent
form. The latter team had won from
the University of North Carolina and
Uie North Carolina A. & M., both strong
rivals of V. I*. I. for athletic honors,
The night previous it had been given
the Lynch burg Y. M. C A. a hard bat?
tle, and the score here. -IS to IS, came
us a surprise to the team's most ar?
dent champions, it Is likely that a
gam.- will be arranged with Lynchburg
by .Manager Steele; of the home quint,
if the former can come to Blncksburg
later In the month.
Kecallng. captain of the quint; the.
Legge brothers and Hughes, oi last

for the vacant place that will be lin?

games away from home Include those
i with Washington rind Lee, Lynchburg
ami the leading colleges of North Car?
