Proposed Bowl Game Encounters Critics
Richmond March 26 Some Virginia colleges show reluctance toward a proposed season bowl football game next year. Virginia athletic chief Pritchett offered no strong comment hoping for success for a worthy cause. Other Cavaliers say the team and staff have had enough bowls after 1949. Tech’s Younger doubts the plan will help, and Washington and Lee’s Smith favors cutting bowl games rather than expanding them.
