Lexington, Va. November ss.-(spe-
eial .)-Enthusiasm over the sue
eesses of the Blue and White team still
runs high and all interest is being con-
oentrated on the last game of the sea-
son. the annual clash with North caro-
lima Agricultural and Mechanical,
which occurs on Thanksgiving day at
Norfolk. Should Washington and Lee
win this game it will close the most
successful season of years. Since they
have defeated their great rivals. Y. p l.,

Tar Heels from Chapel Hill. it looks
as though the chances of the White
and Blue were roseate
But there is no settled feeling OF
overcontidence in the Reilly camp. 1t is
known that the North Carolina Farm
ers" have their usual big team and
that this team will be going just about
its best on Thanksgiving. A victory
over Washington and Lee Will mean
much to them. It will certainly loom
up as a particular bright spot in a
rather unsuccessful season and they
will bend every effort to win. They de-
feated washington and Lee decisively

anxious to repeat. They are reputed
not as strong as last year, and the

An effort is being made to run spe-

succeeds a large majority of the stu

absence of these men from the line up
will seriously retard practice for the

of them will be kept from the game yet
it will be hard to get the team in the

tice will be light in order to have the
men in the best condition by the fol-
