Although defeated by the margin OF
one point on Saturday. che Spiders
have something in reserve for the
Jackets. In fact. II is more than prob
able that the two star wings, Privott
and Milbournc. will again be in action,
and thnt Robins and Durham will be
IN condition to play the entire game.

stop such an attack. so Dobson Will

the Ashlnnders. The variety should
make the game more interesting. The

No numbers were worn by the play
ers on Saturday. This was not due to
any fault OF Frank D0bson, who has
advocated the numbering OF players
ever since the innovation was first
suggested. The Hampden- Sidney man

foolishncss for one team to go on the

not. Dohson had the numerals stripped
of the jerseys of his men.
Numbering players is Il practice that
has come TO stay. Notwithstanding the
fact that some coaches can't grasp the
value. That numbers help the spec
tators III the cndeavor to follow the
ball cannot be denied, and it has also
become clear that il does not hundicap
the players in anyway. AT close range
the plumbers are of no assistance in
identifying the men. but from the
stands they are, providing the figures
arc large enough to be seen.

rhc hunting season in Virginia starts
to-day, and from all reports 1t is likely
10 be a most successful one. Under
the law. the Boards of Supervisora
OF counties may shorten the seasons
or curtal them, but for Il while at
least the whole State is one happy
hunting ground. Some of the boards.
however, have already passed reEula-
tons regarding the hunting season.
rabbit shooting is one thing that
starts to-day. y rabbit is something
that almost anyone capable OF carrying
Il gun can hit. and as a result rabbit
hunting is Of the most popular
seasons OF the year.
