ably find a worthy competitor III Wilson,
who will boot the leather for the Blnnks-

The University team defeated the st.

The V. p, I. boys in fifteen and ten min

game. Since then, however, Virginia mas
developed q great deal Y. p. l. has played
but one game since defeating the strong
North Carolina A. and NJ. College q to 0.
while V. NJ. l. could score but points
against the same team
Viewing the matter from every stand
point, 1t looks now rs II the two teams are
beautifully matched. and wagers VIII be
at even money when the lineup and the
whistle blows for the game to begin to-
day Neither side is over confident. and
each will do It's utmost TO win. barring
flukes, it is improbable that more than
two touchdowns will be scored In the
game, ard more likely that the score
will be or G to 0.
Among the visitors In the city to Wit
ness the game Is Congressman Harry H.
Maynard, of Norfolk, who has a son at
the V. P, /. He is accompanied by Mrs
Maynard and by his son. They are at
