Living down something is
usually a difficult piece of busi-
ness most times. On the other
hand, living up to something is
quite as hard, If not harder.
This latter situation faces the
Washington and Lee High School
eleven as it begins its football
campaign for the 1881 season.
The Little Virginians" made
quite a record for themselves
last season, which is going to be
difficult to live up to.
Most important they lost but
one game during the entire year.
Next they defeated every Wash.
ington high school opponent
played, and finally they were
scored upon only once, for a
showing that really is a show
ing any way you look at it.
Episcopal Defeated
Fredericksburg High of Fred
ericksburg, Va, was the lone
team to defeat them last year,
and the lone team to cross their
goal line. The score of this game

Feeling Is High
Feeling lis high at the little Vir
ginia institution this year in re
/ gard to another successful foot
ball season. Still there is the
thought that much will have to
be done to duplicate last years
showing which probably was the
best in the history of the school
One of the reasons for this is
the fact that many of last years
team have graduated, meaning
that others must take the miss.
ing members places.
The graduated player list in
cludes Stanley Mortimer, cap
tain. and star quarterback;
Harry Chase, end; Howard
Crouch, halfback: Joe Ellis, an
other end, and Allan Goodwin,
fuIlback.
The following veterans remain
as a nucleus for this years team
Bill Eaton, halfback: Gordon
Singlas, halfback; Duvall Allen.
fullback; Archie Via, guard and
captain of the team; Pierce
Bragg, end; Billy Davies, tackle
and Elwood Clements, center.
Eaton, Singlas and Allen are
on the sidelines at the present
time because of injuries. In
fact, Singlas is out for the re
mainder of the season due to a
broken leg sustained a week OF
so ago in one Of the first prac

will be available soon, however

Those showing up well these
days, in fact, those who will in
all likelihood hold down regular
positions, include Claude Rosen

Joe Bell, Almo Legg, Otis Bunch
and Bob Simpson, backfield men

way, looks very good at right

heft enough not to hinder the
working order Of things on the
teams line.
The Little Virginians" meet
Coach Mike Kelly's Eastern High
School eleven tomorrow in a
game at the Eastern Stadium al
$3.50 o'clock. It will be the in
