How Long. 0, How Long9

To the Editor OF the New DOMINION:
How long, o how long, will a
patient public have to wait for the
abatement of that mud pond, lake,
mill-dam, man-hole, (or by whatever
name it may be called) in front of
Prof. Stewards residence on Wiley
street?
A thousand people pass over this
menace to life and limb, and wade
through, or jump over, or go out in
the street to avoid it every day.
And, yet that nuisance has been
there for several years.
In the name of decency, how can
the City Council have the face to
require any private citizen to keep
his premises in order, when it sets
this example of scandalous neglect
of public duty?

They are in the employ of Baker and
Judson who have the contract for
building the lock and dam. They
were working on Sunday and many
people gathered to watch the opera

FULFILLING CONTEST.
Varsity Had a Shade the Better
OF 1t.

Should Have Scored Eight Touch
dcwns-fiood work Of Martin, Core.
Nation, Simmon and Others-Serubs
tumble Too-The Line Coming
Games.
1t was fumtling contest, from the
kick off until the whistle blew and
West Virginia had shade the better
of it. The old Gold and Blue eleven
scored nine beautiful fumbles, and
Ludes had most Of these to his credit.
Grove City would have scored nearly
as many, perhaps. but they didn't have
the ball fair share of the time.
Nine fumbles, four touchdowDs, and
one goal was the final score. The
Varsity gained enough ground to have
had at least b more touchdUwns IL it
hadn't been for fumbles. Ludes car
ried the ball for gains OF 10. Is and 20
yards, on short and lorg end runs, and
through the line, but always succeed
ed in letting go OF it Just before it was
down. He just couldn't hold on to 1t,
and finally refused to try to carry it.
None Of the fumbles were made be-
tween center and quarter. Simmons
played the latter place in Wants alb
sence, and did it well all the way
through. His catches OF Grove City's
high punts in the strong wind were
exceptionally fine.
West Virginia scored two touch
downs In the first few minutes of play,
and it was evidently walk-oyer from
the start.
Martin made long gains around the
ends and through the line, and carri-
ed the ball over for three touchdowns.
Core made the fourth.
The Varsity was held for downs only
three Times during the game. Grove
City was able to make first down on
ly two or three times, and were forced
to kick frequently. They had the
bali about minutes during the 35
minutes OF play.
The Varsity line up was consider
ably stronger on the ends than 1t was
last Saturday. Hall showed up well
and dived into plays around his end
with the dash necessary to break them
up. Ludes played end on defensive
and Seamon on offensive. Both were
effective In breaking up plays. Kort-
right played good game at full-back,
and hit the line hard when given the
ball.
Mutton was tower of strength for
the Varsity, and mixed up effectively
in nearly every play.
After the touchdown 10 the second
half, Coach Trout made wholesale
changes in the line up. Nine subs
were put 10 and Grove City was bitter
ly impressed with the strength OF the
Varsity reserve material. The scrubs"
were heartily cheered by the crowd
when time after time they made sub
stantial gains through the opposing
line. The inevitable tumble prevent
ed a touchdown.
The only possible excuse for the
fumbling was that bran new ball
was in use, and the men had been
practicing with an old, blabby one.
The new pig-skin was slippery and
hard to hold to. Coach Trout will
try the men this week on holding
creased pig.
The best and practically the only
foot ball played by the visitors was
the article handed out by the Marshall
brothers. J. E. Marshall, U. of p.
man, who is coaching Grove City,
played half. He is fast and heavy
and broke up lots OF plays.

Honor, of the public schools Of the
city, containing the names of all
pupils who have neither been absent
nor tardy during the first month OF
scnool. The children have been
waiting little impatiently, and the
first month seemed rather long to
them. The parents Of the faithful
ones likewise take considerable
pride in publication of the names of
their children in the honor list.
The Honor Roll is longer this
time than ever before. This is due
to two causes, says Superintendent
Gallup. The enrolment of the
school is the largest in its history.
and the fine weather for the past
four weeks has made it possible for
all the children to come.
The enrolment in the school is
now 1120. The High school has 81
pupils. A large percentage of this
number will be graduated in June.
All the rooms are crowded, but not
to sGch an extent as to endanger the
health of the children.
superintendent Gallup is well
pleased with the work of all the new
teachers. The school at Marilla has
about 30 pupils and is progressing
nicely. The people up there are
thoroughly satisfied with the school.
Work on the Fourth ward school
building is progressing slowly.
Following are the names of pupils
neither absent nor tardy during the
past month.
