For three years in basketball Wash
ington and Lee has won one game
and Virginia another Each season
the management Of William and Mary
has tried to get chance to play off
the tie, but were met with various
excuses.
January 80 the White and Blue
team took a close game on Virginia's
floor. and ten days later Virginia won
from the same team in Lexington.
This is unique, for 1t is usual for
basketball teams to be at their best
on their home floors. After the game
on the tenth of February every effort
was made to get another game with
the manager. of Virginia. Trainer
I.annigan said he would like to see
the tie settled and an early answer
was promised. When this did not
come by the time set. Manager Glas-
gov. of Washington and Lee, sent the
following telegram:
Pres. G. A. A., University Virginia:
With official permission from the
chairman of the W. & l.. athletic as
ISOLATION, I do hereby challenge the
basketball team of the University of
virginia lot II tHiIu game, W NC pay
ed on neutral ground, for the pur-
pose of deciding the tie which now
exists between the two schools. Staur-
ton was mutually agreed upon. with
Mr.. Dulaney, as the most desirable
place for the game. Date of game
was agreed as March 10. Division of
receipts being agreed half and half.

reasons for same.

The objection might have been that
the faculty would not allow the time.

but the trains run between Charlottes,
willie and Staunton or Lynchburg, so
as to make 1t possible for the Virginia
team to leave home after class hours
and return in time to get to the
earliest class the next morning.
The cause might have been that
they feared the trip would not pay.
but this position Is untenable, for
Manager Glasgow agreed, II neces-
sary, to finance the game and give a
safe guarantee to Manager Dulaney
if he could not see his way clear to
take the trip for monetary reasons.
Registered officials had been agreed
on so that there could have been no
trouble on that score.
The conclusion fs forced on every
one who will examine the situation
and is quite simple. In the minds OF
the Washington and Lee boys. They
simply say Virginia is afraid of de-
feat.
