Cavaliers To Add Grid Game,
Tech or SEC Foe Rumored
The Student Athletic Council
has approved the addition of an
eleventh game to the 1970 football
schedule in light of a recent NCAA
ruling. In the shuffle of the various
teams at such a late date the
Cavaliers have been very lucky,
being contacted by nine schools in
two weeks.
This mystery game will be
played away either on September
12 or November 28, with the
September date having the general
preference among the powers that
be in University Hall. An excellent
chance to fill the badly depleted
Athletic Department coffers is
presented in the process and it is
expected that a "Big" name team
will be chosen. Rumors include the
names of Tennessee, Georgia, and
VPI. Pressure from Richmond has
been felt for the game to be played
with the Gobblers from Blacksburg.
With six home games scheduled
for next fall the extra one will
necessarily be played away, not
only because of the present schedule,
but because the preferred
September date is before most
arrive back from summer break.
As it stands now the 1970
Wahoos play the following teams in
Scott Stadium:
October 3 Wake Forest
(Homecomings)
October 10 VMI
October 17 Army
October 24 William & Mary
(Commonwealth & Band Day)
November 14 Colgate (Openings)
November 21 Maryland
