Lexington, Va. November 1.-The cancel.
ing OF the game with a. and NJ. has in nc
way interfered with the sprint and progres.
Of the Washington and Lee squad. AT pres.
ent the squad still numbers about thirty FIVE
men, who are all enthusiastic and look TO,
the deciding contest with North Caroline
and Alabama with great deal of conf.
dence and success.

Anybody familiar with football in the North
Atlantic division knows what kind of men
and teams Pennsylvania State turns out.
Blackburn Is back again in the line, al.
though he was injured in the V. p. l. game
He has been regaining his former strength
and speed. and by the Carolina game he
ought to be expected to develop into his
old form as line smasher and line saver.
Borah, who has been laid up for some time
with a bad ankle. has again appeared for
practice. and his return will naturally
strengthen the line. The possibility of 30.
rah being able TO appear in the Carolina
game Is now an assumed fact
Kinnear. who played splendid game
against v. P. l., has again returned TO prac-
tice. and the possibility of his playing
against Carolina becomes nearer reality
every day. He has always been regarded
as an Indispensable man, and his return VIII
be held a Indicative of the fact that the
line will assume its former offensiveness.
Burke has improved since the v. +. j
game, and although he has not yet appear.
ed for practice, there Is every reason to be-
lieve that he will again be seen at his old
position at end. Up to the V. p. I. game and
during the game Burke showed tremendous
strength in his position. and his ability as
hurdler made him speedy. With the loss OF
Burke from the line the team VIII suffer
much, as he is regarded as strong bidder
for the All-south Atlantic.
