enough, thinks Coach Bill Alexander,
to acclimate and condition his charges.
But the unusual variety of tempera-
ture here since practice started this
week indicates little acclimating will be
needed. Monday was warm and muddy,
while Yesterday was cold and clear,
prompting fast workout at Grant
Field. Coach Alexander continued to
send his two varsity squads through
signal PAGES, while third team con-
tinued to learn Bear plays for use in
scrimmage, probably today.
Waddey and Heron were put through
all the passing combinations in the
Jacket repertoire, indicating that Alex

California similar to that which knocked
Vanderbilt off the top rung in the

WOMEN In SPORT

in any of the sports. Several hundred
girls in each of the high schools report
for basket ball alone every year, and in
order to give all of them an equal
chance for developing their game and
enjoying competition, the intersection
and interclaSs system of games was
adopted.
With Fall tennis tournaments and
hockey schedules completed, the senior
high school students will turn their at
tention to basket ball, swimming and
rifle with hte coming of the new year.
Western. Central and Eastern basketerS
already have been practicing for some
time and. expect to begin play in their
major series within the next few weeks.
Tech and Business will get later start,
the former because of the incomplete
equipment in their new gymnasium and
the latter slowed down by inadequate
gymnasium facilities in their crowded
quarters.

ming schedules are being arranged by
the directors of a number of the local
Seminaries to augment the intramural
programs. None of the Senlinaries neg
lect this feature, but quite a few of
them pick varsity squads after their in

championship at stake. Holton Arms,

University of Virginia is
making plans to entertain the
~ boxers from the Southern Con-
ference schools in the third
annual championship tournament
which will take place in the memorial
gymnasium on Friday and Saturday,
March l and 2.
Officials of the Southern Conference
at the meeting in Nashville agreed to
continue the annual boxing tourna-
ment.
Virginia may have team without
a veteran to go through one of the
most strenuous seasons that has ever
been arranged for its boxers, but Coach
Johnny La Rowe is developing men
who will have strength and skill, if not
experience.
Capt. Hamilton Bryan of Richmond,
Va, is the only letterman of last sea-
son who is on the squad this Winter,
and he has put on so much weight
during the months since last March
that he may not be able to make his
weight. In the other classes Coach
La Rowe will have to call on new men
to enter the ring.
The Cavalier season will open against
either Washington and Lee or Duke
in the memorial gymnasium on Janu-
ary II. Two matches away from home
with V. p. I. and v. M. I. will follow.
On February the Florida boxers come
up for an encounter, and on February
9 the Virginians will go to meet North
Carolina in Chapel Hill.
Pennsylvania is scheduled to send
its team to the memorial gymnasium
for February 16
The season will reach its climax on
February %, when the Navy team
comes down to the University for an
engagement. Navy boxers are holders
of the intercollegiate championship
title. f.-., 4......,
Virginia won the first conference
boxing championship two seasons ago,
with North Carolina second. In the
second tourney the positions were re-
verSed.
