Local sport followers and V. +. I.
alumni in particular are looking
forward with much interest to the
appearance here Tuesday night of
the team representing Virginia
Polytechnic Institute.
This will mark the first appearance
here this season OF Il big college or
university five, and as the Tech boys
arc noted for the sterling quints they
produce year after year they should
attract a record gate. This year Is
no exception to the rule in the class
of quint turned out by the Blacks
burg institution. The team has to
date waded through all opposition
with the exception of V. NJ. i. VINO
defeated Tech in their own back
yard mt Lexington.
The Flying Cadets were able to
nose out the Tech boys after a
grilling struggle by the small mar
gin of nine points and the v. =. J..
boys are unanimous in predicting
that they will administer the same
dose when the Cadets visit Blacks
burg. In meeting the local Takola
five they will be clashing with n
worthy opponent as the 'Kola boys
have shown conclusively in their
games 10 date that they are far
from soft picking for any opponents

date includes five victories and two
defeats. Included in this list, of vic
tins will be found such well-known
teams as the Lynchburg Elks. State

succumbed to the prowess of tho
Park View boys, OF Portsmouth,
and the Congress Heights Yankees.
In the game they put up against
the Yankees they proved conclusively
bunch OF cage artists, but also n
end with certain defeat staring them
in the face. Tho Yankees. rated as
one of the most formidable agErc-
cations in the East, were forced TO
extend themselves to the limit in
order to win. and although always
trailing. the local five fought gamely
against hopeless odds to tho end
AS for Tech they have smothered
such strong opposition as Marshall
College. As to IL; LynchburE College,
81 to 10; Western Maryland, 81 to
Ia: Roanoke Elks. 80 to II. and NIL
ligan College. 90 to IA. They will
Invade Richmond with record OF
five victories and one defeat.
Another reason why this game Will
prove especially interesting to local
fans is the fact that included In the
squad Will be found two Richmond
