kandolpk-Macon Only Va. College Team Unbeaten. RICHMOND Randolph Macoii's high-flying Yellow Jackets today the. only Virginia college baseball team that still could boast an unbeaten record. After seven starts, the Jackets still boasted 'a perfect showing both in and out of slate competition.

Furthermore, Coach Hugh Stephens', club hasn't had but one close call--a 7-6 triumph over Wesleyan. Randolph-Macon's only other companion in the undefeated class, VM1, fell by the wayside yesterday, a victim of a hard-'hiuing Maryland team. At the same time, the Jackets were coasting to a 9-'' victory over a Little Seven foe, Lynchburg. Ray 'Wingfield's two-run home run in the third was Lynchburg's sole offensive threat against Kari- dolph-Macon. It bad the result of knocking the Jackets' ace, Fritz Lindner, from the box for the first time this season.

But it also brought on Bill Whitley, who proceeded to handcuff the Hornets on one hit the rest of the way while his mates were collecting nine bingles off Ed Stinnett. VM1, after winning three in a row before the Easter holidays looked rough around the edges and committed nine errors in its Ki-7 loss to Maryland. The Keydets tried four pitchers in an effort to halt the Terps' 14-hit assault to no avail, with starter Davuy Crockett the loser. however, continued to look handsome at the plate with hits of its own including home runs by Crockett and George Ram- Hampden-Sydney tallied runs in the ninth to beat William and Mary 12-9 yesterday, sending the Indians down to their sixth setback in the process, Ed Sier- sema; who checked the Indian bats run up an early after WM had lead, was the winning pitcher. Bridgewater cuffed around the Newport News Apprentice School 19-5 in yesterday's other game.

Ray Sbull, with 'a triple and two singles, was the big man in the Eagles' 15-hit attack. Today's stale card finds Washington and Lee host to Maryland in a night game.
