As a "Stonewall of Defense,"
"Fata" Hammond has created a sen-sation
in the line of the V. M L
team. As a first year man on the
Vareity, he puts up an excellent fight
when playing on the offense, and
nothing get* through the position for
which Hammond is responsible.

What About the Game ?
Just Three More Days Before the Big
Event Takes Place -Thursday,

150 Visitors In Attendance-
Governor Trinkle Detained.
What's going to happen has been decided in the hearts and minds of ev-ery
Keydet. The real football classic will come to a close, and here's hop-ing
that old Red, White and Yellow will wave higher than ever before. Ev-ery
one knows what the game means, and no one is ignorant of the ability
of the two teams. It has been rumored that Tech will play University of
North Carolina, if they win, f o r the South Atlantic Championship. The
victory in Roanoke means everything f o r either team, and let us decide the
answer. Shall it be " W I N " or " L o s e ? " We will reproduce the scenes of
'19 and '20; last year the Jinx entered the park, but this year we will keep
him out. We are leading the State teams with 288 points, and our rivals
are in second place with 223. The records for both teams have been un-usually
good f o r the season, and it is hardly possible to say with wMch
team lies the advantage, if there be any. Both have lost their biggest
game, and have won all the rest, with large scores over the smaller teams.
Comparative scores mean nothing when considering a game between V. M.
I.-V. P. I. These two teams defeated North Carolina State and Catholic
University, with Tech, in the lead, but just a margin of ten points in each
case. The two defeated games were lost by exceptionally close scores. So
taking it all in all we see how evenly matched the two teams are.
Let us help win the game, and get behind the Big Team to a man. Ev-ery
one of us squeeze hard and yell a little harder.
On Friday and Saturday of
last week the Fourth Quarter-ly
meeting of the Virginia Sec-tion
of the American Society of
Civil Engineers was held at the
Jackson Memorial Hall. This
meeting was not attend 2d by

who made a f ew neces-
'sary introductory remarks.
I The first address was one of
welcome delivered by the Sup-

Carolina^ Favored
To Beat Virginia
Twenty-Sixth Game Between
Two Institutions Falls On
Thanksgiving Day.
Virginia and North Carolina
will play their twenty-sixth
football game on Lambeth Field
Thanksgiving afternoon at 2:30
o'clock. This contest will mark
a high point in an athletic riv-alry
which started in a gridiron
contest in 1892, and something
like 10,000 people f r om the Old
Dominion and the Old North
State probably will witness the
a f f a i r.
Of the 25 games already
played Virginia has won 17 and

Final Statement From
Coach Clarkson
When we meet V. P. I.
Thanksgiving we will play
probably the strongest team
Tech has ever put on the field.
Every man on the V. M. I. team
knows that he has a f i g h t ahead
of him, and every man will play
better than he knows how. V.
M. I. teams have played against
odds before, and they have a
habit of coming through. No
matter which team wins, there
will be no alibis, and the better
team will win—not the better
team on paper, but the better
team for sixty minutes on the
gridiron Thanksgiving Day.

Halfback.
Age, 20; Weight, 172; Ht *iit 6 Ft.
"Don" MacGregor holds his place
as one of the best open-fieid runners
in the Cadet backfield. Though a
new member in the line-up, Mac hit*
like a machine. His punting has
averaged very good for the season.
He plays either full or half with
equal ability, and can outwit any of
the opposing backs.
