Virginia Seems
to Have Strong
Basketball Team

Virginia seems to have one of the
strongest basketball teams in the
South. While the Orange and Blue
has yet to appear against the most ca
pable aggregation Its work so far
tends to indicate that it will be well
In the RUNNING for championship
honors. Reports from Charlottesville
are emphatic in declaring the quint
to be the best Virginia has had in
years, and some so 20 far as to say
there Is no other club strong enough
to beat 1t out for the South Atlantic
title.
or course, Georgetown has yet to
be considered, but the absence of
Wetxell from it's line-up IL going TO
retard its progress considerably. With
him In the game against Virginia the
Blue and Gray would stand an even
chance to win, but Unless a great deal
OF improvement il noted in the work
OF the five In general over what 1t
showed against St. Johns last night.
1t win enter the contests with the
Charlottesville aggregation at dis
advantage.
There are two factors about the
play Of the Virginia ave which gem

deal more preliminary practice than
any Of the other Quints and 1t plays

and naturally the team which has
been longer at practice than the 9TH
ers will have much In Its favor dur
ing the early games.
At any rate. there Is every indica-
tt0n Of a very good season among the
first class teams, and, while Virginia
appears to be a little the strongest
now. it will be a tough fight for the
one winning the title.

TT1EN...... and. NOW

One hundred and thirty-three years ago today the 74-gun line-of f-hattIe ship America, was launched at Ports mouth, N. H.. If the word had been in use, this battleship would have been known Americas first dread nought' It was built under the di- rection of Paul Jones, the famous naval hero of the, Revolution. When Jones returned from Europe in 1781 after his battle the Bonhomne Richard with the Serapis, Congress rendered him, a, vote of thanks, and authorized him to go ahead and build the America to drive the British from our waters. But it took time then as we'll as now to build a battIeshfp, and. before the America was finished the war had ended. Congress presented the ship to France to offset the. loss of the 74-gun French ship Magnifique which had been destroyed in Boston harbor. So the first line-ofJbat tleship the United States ever built never had a chance to show it's fighting strength under the American flag.

When the Bonhomme Richard defeated the Ser apis the American nation numbered less than 3,000,09O people; today It has more than thirty times that number, but itA has a navy ten thousand times as strong as it's little collection of Warshtps in Rev olu tionary days. One of the smallest gunlboats today could sink the whole fleet of schooners and brigs of 1776, and possibly whip the whole British navy of that day. A battleship like the Pennsylvania could annihilate all the navies of the world in the days of the Revolution The Pennsylvania cost over $14, GOO, 900, or enough to build all the wooden war ships of the world in 1776.
