the second Southern Conference con
test in. which it has taken part. and
| the first for the Cavaliers. The Old
Liners split even last year with Nir-
rinia. dosing at Charlottesville and
winning at College Park. 1t is doubt
full if either quint is as strong as then.

a better team than George Washing

The game at Navy between Catholic
University and Navy should be Wen
playe, and something of brilliant
contest The Brooklanders have
fine team. and Navy has great quint
and q second one not much weaker.

structures that go with it. and we

larger crowds then by virtue of the
excellent accommodations. The field
as we shall have it next Fall, will
seat approximately 900 persons
