a showing against the crack Crimson
outfit Before the regulars were in
Jured Michigan proved itself to have
one of the best scoring machines in the
country, running up large totals in the
opening games. Accidents to such men as
Hughitt and Gait, however, have tenn
porarily hindered the development of
the eleven and so Coach Yost has been
compelled to limp along without his best
men in the last two games He expects
to have all but Gait in the Harvard
contest, however, and football followers
everywhere will consider the result as
emblematic of the relative strength OF
East and West on the gridiron.
Iale's clash with Colgate may be con-
sidcred the second best of the week
largely because the New Workers. de-
feated the Ellis last YEAR Is to 6. Things
should be different this season. though,
for Colgate has not shown its 1913
strength and Yale appears to be q much
better outfit.
Dartmouth faces Amherst Saturday
and should win with more or less ease
Williams plays Princeton, giving the
Tigers a good practice contest While
the Army has a soft foe in Villanova
the Navy bumps up against a Tartar
in the North Carolina Aggies. The
Raleigh eleven expects to defeat the

victory. Swarthmore ought not worry
Pennsy lvania, though one never can
dope out the Quakers much in advance
VirginiA travels all the way to Nash
Vile Saturday to play Vanderbilt and,

Speaking Of Virginia brings to mind
an editorial appearing last week in =
Richmond newspaper in which the
severance of athletic relations with
Georgetown by the Orange and Blue
comes in for some red hot comment
Here is the editorial in full without
accompanying remark:
Georgetown had a generous share of
the sympathy Of the big crowd which
saw Washington and Lee win in the
great game here Saturday. OF course,
the majority sentiment was with the
Lexington boys. The great institution
which the Washington and Lee eleven
represented is so peculiarly VirGinian
that had 1t been playing Richmond
College even local pride hardly would
nave HHidt IHc sentiment OF the crowd
untricndiY.
The result Of the game puts upon
Virginia and Southern football an as
pect which is somewhat new. WASH
inGtOn and Lee Won from Georgetown,
after Georgetown had defeated the
University Of Virginia eleven four
years in succession. The University
OF Vii ginia severed athletic relations
with Georgetown last year. Following
the defeat of the University of Vir-
ginia team several years ago by the
team from Washington and Lee on
the University grounds at Charlottes-
vile, the University of Virginia "sev-
cred athletic relations" with Washing
ton and Lee. The University of Vir-
ginia severed athletic relations with
the Virginia Military Institute years
ago. Years ago. too, the University of
Virginia Severed athletic relations
with the Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
