XVIII viRGiNiAiScoRESvicToRYovER GENERALS IN SESSioR or WRANGLES Strict Interpretation of Rules Proves DiSastrous—Score 28-13 In a contest replete with wrangles, outward display of dissatisfaction at the referee’s rulings and faulty basketball, Washington and Lee was downed by the University of Virginia five for the first time in four years in Lynchburg Saturday, 28 to 13. With an immense throng viewing the struggle. the two quintettes met in a bizarre clash, that was decidedly unsatisfactory in nature to the spec- tators. Unused to a strict interpre- tation of the collegiate rules, Wash- ington and Lee was adjudged guilty of fouls in 23 instances. This virtually endowed Virginia with the game. Referee Sturdy was the object of strong display of feeling. The official ejected three star players of the two fives for infractions of the rules. Left forward Seeley was removed from the melee in the first half for committing four personal fouls. Center Strickling, the main- stay of the Virginia five, was eject- ed for gently nudging Seeley in the ribs, while Left guard Young was forced to withdraw for "striking the referee. and thus irdulging in un- gentlemanly conduct. ” The rulings of the official brought down upon him the vtrath of the crowd. His decision to eject Strick- ling was greeted with hisses from the WASHI BY THE STUDENTS AND FOR THE STUDENTS GTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY, TUESDAY EVENING, N THE FANCY DRESS BALLIS ELABORATE AND PRETTY l Junior Promenade Opens Series of Festive Events -—Fancy Dress‘ Ball Attended by Immense Throng in Festival Array- Miss Anderson Opens the Ball in Colonial Dress A gladsome throng, arrayed in festival adornments. graced the Univesity gymnasium last night to enjoy the Eleventh Annual Fancy Dress P»all»——the crowning event of a series of social functions.
