Richmond also beat West Viz

Spiders, however, lost to W&M
their Thursday opponent. on
their home floor just last Satur-
day night. 1877. in a game that
dropped Richmond down to
fourth place and into the semi
final bracket with CIV. Expecta-

The Richmond WAN rivalry,
plus one or two other happenings

good tournament and tight
games after the first round.

Virginia Tech figures in the
championship as much as any Of
the others. The Gobblers beat
CIV on their home court and
lost the return here. and also
beat Richmond on the latter's
home court this season. They did
lose. however, in a one-sided

for fully a minute before able

however, that he will be back In
top shape by Thursday.
