VIRGINIANS DEFEATED.
THE PRINCETON TIGERS TUO
STRONG FOR 'yARSI1r ELEyEN.
They Rcsortcd to Kicking Tactics With
Great Success In the second Hall, but
Were Defeated by "a Score of 80 To 4.

BALTIMORE, MD, Oct. 9.-The Tigers
succeeded in carrying the ball over the
University Of Virginia's goal line fix
times to-day in their annual game at
the Catonsville club grounds.
The Princeton eleven excelled the VIZ
ginians in every particular, and kept the
bail In the latter's territory throughout
the game. The game was characterized
by brilliant individual playing and con-
certed team action on the part or the
Princeton team. and weak, defensive
playing on that OF the Nirginians.
The Virginia backs were unable 10 make
Roadway against the Princeton line, ana
resorted to kicking tactics In the second
half with great success. The oval wa"
carried 10 Vlrginias teu-yard mark four
times in the second half. but was lost
on fumbles, and returned 10 the centre oil
the field by Whaley's punts.
The teams played under the revised
Yale-Princeton rules. ana the game wa
devoid of the usual severe playing.
This was the Tigers first contest TINS
year, and forms a basis for estimating
the ultimate strength Of the team the
line withstood the attack of the Virginia
backs admirably, and the interference
showed a great improvement over that
of last week.
THE PLANS.
Princeton chose then orth goal, taking
advantage of strong wind. Nhaley

the ball seven yards. Roscngarten fum-

lHE SECOND HALF.
Throughout the second half the Prince
ton backs went through Virginia $ line ior
long gains. but lost the ball before tAe
goal line had been crossed. Nhaley
punted effectively and kept the Tigers
from scoring on three occasions.
Armstrong caught Whaiey's punt ana
carried the ball twenty-five yarns
through the entire University Of virginia
eleven. and Riggs was through the CEN
tire twelve minutes after play began ior
the nth touchdown Ayers later circled
right end for forty yards, and swelied the
score 10 thirty-six points.
Four minutes later Lea made the run
of the game. covering seventy yards be-
fore he was downed by Poindexter. The
game was called with the ball on Viz
rinia's thirty-yard mark.

The Logan stone of Lands End.

The most celebrated rocking stone in Eng
land Is that known as tie Logan, Logan or
Logging stone. 1t is situated on the summit
Of bold promontory of granite about eleven
miles from Lands End, in Mounts Bay.
Cornwall. 1t Is estimated to weigh about
ninety tons. yet it is so nicely balanced that
child can move 1t with one hand The pivot
upon which the stone rests is small hard
protruson, on all sides Of which the whole
surrounding surface has worn away. leaving
the enormous bowlder standing upon mar
row neck so exactly and evenly poised that a
touch sets the whole mass to rocking In
the legendary lore of Penzance there is
prophecy to the effect that the Logan stone
will stand until the end OF the world, when it
will fall of its own accord just before and as
token Of the ending of all earthly things
Several years ago young English lieutenant
who did not believe in prophecies, hired
force of men, who repaired to the spot and
with ropes crowbars and levers threw the
great stone from its pinnacle. when the
authorities heard of the destruction Of the old
landmark they forced the young officer at
great expense to replace the stone just as he
had found 1t. Some claim that the poise is
not so equal now as ii was before the incident
lust related.
