The Virginia Cavaliers is a distinc- tive name, and is also characteristic; also the Trojans of Southern Cali- fornia, the Mustangs of Southern Methodist University, the Texas Longhorns, the Michigan Wolver- ines, and the Bulldogs of Yale Uni- versity are other good examples.

Although there are many teams called Tigers and such names, these would not be so good because they lack distinction, and of course in many cases they would not be ap- propriate.
