showing on the road
Director H. a. Stansbury is now
arranging a tentative card which
calls for a game with Washington
and Lee University at Huntington
w. Va, and one with the Univer-
sity of Virginia at Charlottesville,
Va. Neither of these contests
have been definitely scheduled but
they are almost certain of being
included on the final card. The
8Varsity,,s opponents in the other
two games will be selected from
sthe4Navy, Johns Hopkins, Prince
ton Pennsylvania, Georgetown or
Maryland. Negotiations are now
being made with several of these
schools and it is hoped to have
the schedule for the trip complet-
before the season opens.
The United States Military
Academy quint. which has been on
the&Mountaineer card for some
years, will not be met this year.
Both Lehigll and Lafayette have

This years card will not be
aeasyn3by any means and the
four teams to@be met will be top
in their section, the idea
being to reduce che number of
games and at the same time play
stronger teams. In order to ac-
5complish this Director Stansbury,I
has started to work early on the
floor card. which will be anil
several months earlier
this year.
