DIR. w. A. Lambeth. manager OF the
University Of Virginia football team
spent a few hours in the city yesterday.
The object OF his visit was to counteract
the impression that had gained currency
that the death OF Mr.. George r. Phelan
would cause the postponement. or proba-
bly, the cancellation, Of the match with
the University Of North Carolina on
Thanksgiving-D Day.
1t was learned that in order to avoid
the possible prohibition Of the game by
the faculty OF the university. the team
had been sent away from the university.
The fears. however. proved to be ground
less. for in a telegram received here late
last night It was stated that the faculty
would not take any steps to prevent the
game.
The sale of seats. which opened yester-
day morning. has been unusually large.
A large number Of men are working on
the ground. getting 1t into condition. and
another stand, to accommodate 1.5o peo-
ple. is being erected on the r!ght-field
