game Of "Basket Ball" was played
on Saturday evening by the young
ladies of the College on the

by a large number Of students
from Washington and Lee, as well
as many persons from the city.
The game was by the "Buster
Browns" VS.. the "Sunny Jims,"
and was won by the former by a
score Of 18 to 10. Whers all did
their part so we'll it seemed pity
to have to decide it other than
tie game. The young ladies msni-
tested q lot of skill as we'll as the
use of surprising amount of good
healthy muscle. Good, sound
lungs were also much in evidence
from the vigorous cheers that fol-
lowed every favorable movement
in the game.

unpleasant thin gs to say Of the
Virginia Military Institute manage
ment, hes a long article in it's issue
of yesterday (Tuesday), under
tbs head of "V. NJ. L. Board
Plans Big Future for the Insti-
tute." Among other pleasant
things it says:
meanwhile people are naturally
asking; What's to become of the
V. NJ. l. in the teeth of ell this
squabblingY The answer is full of
optimism, Other schco s,uotably the
V. P. l., have had troubles along
pretty much the same lines and
tbingsIwere adjusted satisfactorily
after they had been duly venti-
lated in the papers.
"Mcst important Of all the
pluHb ls pun pOoO w
Legislature to give The eplt ndid
school 100000 more, go that the
money may be expended in certain
improvements which will greatly
add to the standing of the insti-
tute. A new hospital is much
wanted and the barracks could be
materially benefited.
"Some also wish to SEE q cavalry
school established in connection
with the institute.
"Certain it is, too, that the
friende and old students of the v.
NJ. 1. do not intend to sit idly by
ind see the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute get all the good things
that the Legislature may bestow,
ror do they. on the other hand,
intend to allow the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute to run ahead
of the V. NJ. l. in the matter OF
useful training and esprit de
corrs."
