which has done so much in the past for
the Orange and Blue, was by no means
lacking this time. Virginia played at
times with a stubbOrnness that was rec
markable. Her endurance was fully equal
TO that Of the Carolinians. But the indi-
vidual work of Virginia was scarcely
equal TO that OF her opponents.
Carolina put up the game nf her life.

HOW VIRGINIA LOST.
Carolina Had Decidedly the Advan.
tage in Coaching.

There are half a dozen theories ad-
anccd to explain why North Carolina
won the game. Some say 1t was because
OF North Carolinas superior team work;
others that the individual playing of Nir-
ginia's men was at times slow and slug
gish. A few held TO the view that North
Carolina won on a iluke.
This is not true CarOlina's victory
was accounted for in no small measure
by her superior coaching. To Reynolds,
perhaps more than to any other man is
due the result.
II will be remembered that Virginia in
troduced new tactics this year Here
tofore she has been coached by a Penn
svlvania or Princeton man, and il had
come to be regarded as "a necessity that
a reliable man be secured from one or the
other of the two big universities TO put
Virginia through certain kind Of sys-
tematic work.

ground is taken that the act of Congress
fixing the maximum rate of rental for
Phones at $50 per annum applies only to
the public service telephones of the District
government, such as fire alarm and police
phones, and that the telephone company
cannot furnish priv ate phones at the rate
prescribed without great loss. The right of
Congress to pass a law that would make
the company lose money in obeying it is
questioned.
Mr.. Staples seeks to have the telephone
company furnish him telephones at the

Staples rendered S37.50 in payment of three

was refused. The company offered to fur
