Sports Writers who voted them
the best freshman collegiate (team
in the state?
We also must take into considera
tion that the Wildcats had been
practicing since the middle of
August breaking an agreement the
Villahova officials had with the
Aggie coaching staff.
I am not trying to make excuses
for the Aggie team, but it seemed
quite evident that the Villanova
squad was in mid-season form. It
was a case of youth against ex
perience; inexperience against sea
soning.

It is plain to see, Harold, that
your column took Htt(e or no fore
