RICHMOND. Va. Dec. 5.-If they

year. somebody probably would come
up with the thought that Washing
ton and Lee has more than its share.
The Generals, with seven veterans
back from last year, top all other
Virginia big SIX college squads

William and Mary and Virginia
each has six lettermen, while Rich
mond and Virginia Military Institute
have five veterans back for action.
Virginia Tech, which seemed to
flourish with seasoned material in
football, has only four aces.

Washington and Lees forces will
be led by their sharp-shooting cap
tain, Leo Signaigo. and fancy floor
man and capable point-maker.

Virginia has Capt. Dick Wiltshire
and several others back. 1t was Wilt

last year in the Cavaliers victory
parade that saw the State Uni

up until after the Christmas holi-
days. Miller received a broken COL
