TO POSTPONE GAME
Lannigan Does Not Want His
Team to Play Night Before
Meeting Georgetown.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.


CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, February
5.-The basket ball game between Vir-
ginia and Catholic University, scheduled
for February IA, will, in all probability.
be postponed until a later date. Camp
bell, Virginias star guard, will not be
able to absent himself from classes more
than the one day. and Coach Lannigan
says he will surely he needed the fol-
lowing night in the game with George
town. Lannigan also thinks it too much
of task for his charges to attempt two
such hard games as Catholic University
and Georgetown on successive nights, and
Manager Gill wrote today asking Catholic
University to postpone the game If
Catholic University is to be considered a
contender for the South Atlantic cham
pionship it is hoped that series of three
games may be arranged in place of the
one scheduled at present, as one game
would hardly be a fair list of the ability
of two such strong teams. Lannigan
sprang a new idea on the team today
when he started training them with the
track team in preparation for the game
with Washington and Lee Saturday night.
He is expecting the hardest game of the
season that night. and says he can get
the men in better condition by using that
method the rest Of the week than by let
ting them toss at the baskets. This will be
one of the most decisive games in the
South Atlantic series. and the entire stu
dent bodies of the respective institutions
will accompany their teams to cheer them
on. 1t is seldom that such enthusiasm
is shown over a basket ball game. but it
is sure to be close and hard fought.
