Athletic Association OF the University OF
Virginia, III Its most recent edition. has
two items OF especial interest to RICH
tmond people, one relating toSthe Thanks-$

Nh Of$the former matter, the pnner SAYS
MA meeting of the Faculty Committee
of tho University of Virginia Athletic
Association was held In the presidents
Office OF the administration building at
noon Thursday. 81. III
There were present President Edwin
Anderson Alderman, Or. Christian, Pro
lessor l5chols and DR.. Lambert 3s
@ The matter under discussion was the
future Of the Thanksgiving football
games In gard to the question Q q in--$
ducements to lie offered or not offered
to Richmond. Ii III,
"A tproposi ton will, be made to Rich
nond. What the nature of$this PROPOSE
ton will be IS mot known even to the
members Of, the committee themselves. Il
Despite the factthat Virginia Polytech-l
mic Institute has leased the Broad Street
Park, no anxiety'5is felt on that score.
If the Richmond alumni offered to build
n park this year on certain conditions,
they will hive even greater reason for
building it next year, when 5tEe&nthlctif5
authorities Of the University WILL ho IN
position tojaccept any rea soma bic 9 Tiers.
Virginia Polytechnic INSTITUTE ll:t may hnd
1t advisable to take advantage Of the
Irritation felt in Richmond toward the
University, ana their. game may prove q.
better drawing card than It did in Nor
folk However, 1t seems probable that
the 'Carolna-Vrgnia game, will defect
as much from their game In Richmond
MS when Virginia Polytechnic Institute n
and Virginia Il hillary Institute played
in Norfolk and the two Universities in
Richmond. S a. gk5
Despite The fact that Virginia 5Polytcch-
mic Institute has hosts OF alumni in Rich
mond, their games have never drawn well
there. tS IL aa
