AS to the schedule for the season,
Manager Neff is looking to one of the
most pretentious list of dates every
attempted. Prominent among the in
door engagements already decided on
are the George Washington University
meet in Washington, February 10, the
Richmond meet two weeks later, and
in WASHINGTON March 2. One or posi-

Should Virginia succeed in downing
the previous meets. and then show heels
to Georgetown, as she has done in many
successive years, the championship COL
legiate title OF the South will go to

Nothing Arranged.
AS to the outdoor season, nothing de-
finite has been arranged. There will.
however, be few changes in last year 8
schedule, which called for dual meets
with Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins,
concluding the season with the annual
set of Spring Gems in Charlottesville.
Doubt has been expressed as to
whether or not Pennsylvania Will bring
it's team South again this year. In the
event. that it will not, Manager Nef'
will make an effort to bring down either
Harvard or Princeton. Neither of the
teams has trained here, and residents
of this section, as well as the Virginia
student body, would welcome either
squad. Although doubtful as to wheth-
terial would make showing against
the big colleges, Coach Lannigan
feels confident that he has a number
