Virginia's Cavaliers had the largest representation with Half back Bob Tata helping the South work a 21-21 tie in Miami's North South game. All-American Tom Scott, the Cavaliers’ great end saw action as the East pulled out a 21-20 triumph over the West Saturday at San Francisco. Two more of Coach Art Guepe’s charges. Bill Chisholm and Char lie Harding and ’’Meadows" Mio duszewski. of William and Mary, were in on the Gray's 28-7 vic tory in the annual Blue-Gray tussle, at Montgomery. Ala.

and Lee. who gave an efficient performance as fullback on the South's team in the Miami game Broyles scored one of the touch downs on a 25-yard scamper. No less than four former Old Dominion college stars took part in Sunday's game, as the Lion' downed Cleveland 17-7 to win thp professional championshiD.

FHS In Group II Fix es Favored In AP Survey XVolverines May (Jet Second Try In State Tourney It's a little early to associate the Farrnville High Seho d Wolve rines with the State Group II basketball tournament, but if the 1953 quintet makes it they’ll find some old friends on hand waiting to mafc,e things rough. Rough for the Wolverines means what has resulted for FHS fives in five straight appearances at Blacksburg—first round bow out. The old friends would be most ?f the district teams that parti cipated last year, when Harrison burg's Blue Streaks eliminated PHS then went on to cop the State title. State Survey An Associated Press state-wide roundup last week produced the story (o show that practically all district winners last y^ar have teams pract’callv intact. The ex ception is South Boston in Dis trict IV. which lost hpavilv from the veteran squad that played so '■ell at Blacksburg last year and ill 1951. Fi\e clubs that played at Blacksburg last, year right now must be rated favorites to make 1 return trip— Churchland in Dis trict 1. Manchester, in District 2. the Wolverines in District 3.

LOOKING AT THE H-S C. TIGERS j

JIM SLAYDON Jimmy Slavckm. the Tigers' six foot. Junior guard, is a key to the Death Valley offensive this sea ion The 20-year-old Roanoke collegian, who came to Hampden Sydney from William Fleming High School, came up with Little Six honorable mention honors last season. Slaydon specializes in set shots from the outside and, with the Tigers' lack of height this season, outside work is all-important to t he Tigers' success, or lack of it. The junior guard is also a shell ball handler and playmaker, and a backbone on defense for Coach Matthews' Garnet and Gray squad. Last season Slaydon scored 121 ! emus lot liie Tigers, compiling a 6.05 points - per - game average. Since the Tigers' played to use Emmy Johnson s height, the jun ior's scoring average wasn't high, but hr played a big part in the [ceding success winch ict Johnson gather a 25.9 game average—a Death Valley all-time perform ance.

With the Tigers' four losses against two wins pointing up their lack of height, emphasis will be placed on their outside game.

But Coach Matthews Tigers met some mighty tough opposi j.tion before Christmas as later ! results have shown. The Tigers aren't the only team to be buffet ed this season by Richmond. Vir ginia and Georgetown. In Mason - Dixon play, the Tigers have held their own. down ing Bridgewater and dropping a tight 68-65 game to Mt. St. Mary's.
