hard-fought contest, but the local five
did not approach the form which al
most carried them to victory in the
opening game of the trip, when it was
defeated by Roanoke, 33 to 2S.
The Green and Gold standard was
carried ahead in this contest, but Roa-

minutes that could not be stopped. The
following day Virginia Poly outclassed
the Marvlanders, SO to Is, and the lat
