good records and each has been lmprov-
Ing steadily. both In condition and In
team play since either had game. 1t

dolph- Macon made BETTER showing
against William and Mary and Fred
ericksburg. but Richmond College made
much the stronger showing against
washington and Lee and Columbia. and
defeated Hampden Sidney after the lat
ter had bea ten the Ashland boys. Never
