and 1t may have to PLAY better in
order to win. Many followers. as
well as the average person in touch
with the sport, think V NJ. l. should
be an overwhelming favorite. but.
Notwithstanding it's splendid record
so far. the writer believes that the
Raleigh team has at least an even
chance for victory.
Bill Raftery. Washington and Lee
coach. who watched V. p. l. lose to
the University of Maryland last week
said after the game that he thought
his team would win from the Blacks

seems to me to be just as capable
as " P. Is. Therefore I see no rea
son why We should not win next
week" he said.
Washington and Lee. to finish the
| season with rating near the top
of the south Atlantic elevens will
have to beat V. =. l.. And that is
not going to be an easy thing for
it to accomplish. as the Bla OK sburg
school has the fastest charging line

each seems to have devoted more at
tention to the building up of this
phase of its strength than to its of
fensive work. Only one weak spot
