The Patriots placed second in the District Meet last year. This year's team has good first line strength, but it lacks depth. For this reason some of the boys will participate in as many as Eve events each. A new ruling this year permits boys to participate in both track and baseball. This helps to strengthen both teams, but presents a tough schedule. In a practice meet against the University of Virginia freshmen, the Patriots made a very good showing, which indicates that they should have a successful season. 117
