government Of the Browns to a dis
patch of the Grays about the dispute
that had arisen In the distant African
Jungle. This he had already read two
days previously, by courtesy Of the
premier. It was moderate in tone, as
became a power that had 100000 sol
diers against its opponents 100000;
nevertheless, 1t firmly pointed out that
the territory Of the Browns had been
overtly invaded, on the pretext OF Sc
curing a deserter who had escaped
across the line. by Gray colonial
troops who had raised the Gray nag in
place Of the. Brown flag and remained
dehantly in occupation Of the outpost
they had taken. H
AS yet, the Browns had not attempt
ed to repel the aggressor by arms for
fear Of complications. but were relying
on the Gray government to order 9
withdrawal Of the Gray force and the
reputation Of commander who had
been guilty of so grave an international
affront. The surprising and illuminat
ing thing to Westerling was the In
spired statement to the press from the
Gray foreign Office. adroitly appealing
to Gray chauvinism and justifying the
"intrepldity" Of the Gray commander
in response to so-called "pin-pricking'
exasperations.

the result of this game is the cham
pionship Of the intercollegiate Eastern
Virginia Basketball league for the first
season that this league has offered a
silver loving cup similar to the one

At the same time it is singular to note
that Richmond college, now at the
head of tn eleague, has never had a
team representing it in this line Of
athletics before this season.
Last night the Spider five had a
fast workout and every man showed
up in the best possible condition and
promises to be on hand tonight, fit to
fight 70 finish for the championship
and that cup Coach Dobson ex-
pressed himself as being very well
satisfied with the condition Of the team
and predicts that the team will dis
play the bes form Of the season In
the game tonight. So far as the stu
dent body is concerned they are
probably more enthusiastic over this
game than they were over that one
with Randolph Macon. The cheering
of the Spider contingent was quite q

Jackets last week and Chief Rooter

Macon that the yellow Jackets are
very anxious for the ''Loonies" to win

championship. and to help accomplish
their desires they are coming down in
great numbers to yell against the

pohson is going to address the stu
dent body and 1t is expected that when
he gets through talking the students
and others Will know a good deal more
about basketball and Its proper posi-
ton in college athletics than they
ever knew before.
There Will be a preliminary game
between the Howtzers' team, the
champions Of Virginia, and some other

good starter 10 a night of sport.
The championship game will start
at $50 o'clock ana Mr. Moore, OF the
