those between Virginia and North

Poly. Vanderbilt and Sewanee, George
Washington and Georgetown, vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute and Nir-
ginia Military Institute.
No season Of foot ball ever has
found so many intersectional contests
scheduled for southern elevens, and IN
all probability considerable benefit
will be derived from the trips. South
ern schools will be brought into
closer relationships with northern and
come to know them better. Also. 1t
is noteworthy fact that since the
south began TO schedule intersectional
contests it has been playing better
foot ball, and the excursions made by
southern teams into northern terri
tory are bound to result in new ideas
and improved tactics making their
way into southern squads.
