25 "Get Virginia!" is the battle-cry now sounding and resounding across the Washington and Lee campus and echoing In the heart of every Washington and Lee alumnus.

They remem bered how the ball see-sawea up and down the field during the whole first half, how Cameron1 returned from a distant funeral between halves, how ho entered the game in the third quarter, and how almost slnglehand-ed he battered his way from mid-field to Virginia's goal line for the only touchdown of the game, Saturday will witness a determined attempt to tip the balance.

If the respective student bodies of the two universities were polled concerning for their preference for a single victory on the schedule, the team would In all probability be the one to be encountered Saturday. Virginia Is aching to whip Washington and Lee, while the Generals are just as anxious to subdue the Old Dominion. The result should be an epic battle, with the eyes of Kouthland focused upon the battleground. A large pirt of the Washington and Lee student body Is planning to make the trip to Charlottesville to see the Ctune and a special train hns been secured to carry hundreds of Generals' supporters there.

The WU Ham and Mary defense stiffened at this juncture and the game looked safe for the Indians during the rest of the fray.
