The L’livistiau iiiiie went oa a, little
trip do'wn-statc the otliei- day and tlame
luek decreed tliat tifty-iifty would bj
its lueU. The team liad just emerged
from a fovere drubbing at the hands
of Duke’s team. Tnrloubtedly this de
feat came in tiio wake of a soared
team’s uiu-alled tor inuffles.
But wlieii they ,1‘aced tlie Davidsou
Wildcat they settlei down to the busi-

SJiiue l)rand of pitciiing. Both ])ircher>
were up to form and seemed to be nms-
ters of the situation. This is evidenced
by the few hits made by )>oth team>;
aud by the fact that neither , toan'

The .(irst number was a highly enter
