BEST TEAM WON.

of Lehigh. From the start Lehigh show
ell that lack OF spirit and dash that was
so characteristic OF the Nirginians. our
team was badly crippled as the result OF
the hard schedule we had, but i have no
excuses 10 offer.
Virginia won. Her tricks fooled our
ends. and there IS where the greatest
gains were made. The ends were former

Lehigh showed up I'm far better shape
when she played Princeton. and We held
