North Carolina State has can
celled the basketball game sched-

up in their schedule as they
started their swing through the
Old Dominion and their request

would win. In Raleigh last
month the regular game ended
in a 29-29 tie and State won
in the extra period.
Both Washington and Lee and
V. M. I. come here next week
for the last two games on the
home schedule.
