people will be in attendance.
More than 1900 Norfolk people
witnessed the game last year. and
from present indications something

to Raleigh. Special excursions Will be
run from Norfolk. Lynchburg. Roa-

the disposition of the tickets declare
that 1t will be the largest ever.
All arrangements have been COM
pleted for the game, and now every
thing Is In readiness for the sound of
the whistle. An extra stand will be
erected on the west side of the field,
while two additional ones were put
up before the game last Saturday af-
ternoon between Washington and Lee
and Washington and jefferson. with
these additions. It is thought that the
seating and standing capacities will be
sufficient TO accommodate the crowd
