The Spiders have a chance to beat
the Metho6lsts and they are going to
make the most Of 1t.
The team knows 1t has power and
is going to play the Randolph Macon
boys off their feet If there is any way
of doing 1t.

Who will play the two guard posi-
lions Is still uncertain. Hutchinson,
from Fork Union academy, is a tower
OF strength on the defense and Is a
steady. consistent player. Carter, who
made his letter in 10. has done good
