Metro Seven accepts
Va. Tec into league

Maitn Leagu Sa

(AP) - Virginia Tech, an indepen-
dent since it dropped out of the
Southern Conference 13 years ago, has
been accepted as a member of the
basketball-oriented Metro 7 Conferen-
ce.
Metro Commissioner Larry Albus of
St. Louis said Tech will immediately
become eligible to compete for con-
ference championships.
Other teams in the league - more
formally the Metropolitan Collegiate
Athletic Conference - are Louisville,
Cincinnati, Florida State, Memphis
State, Tulane and St. Louis. Georgia
Tech was a member until recently.
Albus denied that Virginia Tech, a
sprawling university of 19,000 students

in the western Virginia mountains at
nearby Blacksburg, is a replacement
for Georgia Tech.
He said talks with Virginia Tech
about possible membership had been
going on "for some time" before
Georgia Tech gained the ACC member-
ship for which Virginia Tech had been
rejected last year.

When the dam broke at Buffalo Creek, West Virginia, a lot of
people weren't as lucky as this little guy.
'w o u ld Jamie and the rest of the Mosley family made it up the hill
just in the nick of time. Seconds later, a wall of water swept all
their earthly possessions away.
Here you see Jamie in the Red Cross shelter, thinking it
y o u all over.One look at that face, and we're awfully glad we were there
to help.
Every year, you know, Red Cross touches the lives of mil-
lions upon millions of Americans. Rich. Poor. Average. Black.
White. Christian and Jew. With support. With comfort. With
a helping hand when they need it.
So whenyou open your heart, with your time or your money,
you can be certain it's in the right place.
