ONE MAN BEATS NAVY.
The Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute Defeats Team Chiefly
Through Efforts of
Carpenter.

It almost seemed that the Navy had
been defeated by one man Last Satur-
day. The man was Carpenter, right
half back of the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute eleven. He was the very in
carnation Of the spirit of football He
ran, sQuirmed, twisted, slid, jumped
and performed various other acrobatic
maneuvers in manner that held the
spectators spellbound, and for time
paralyzed the defensive machinery of
his opponents.
True to the principles inculcated by
their military training, the Middies
soon saw that their only hope Of sue
cess lay in silencing this formidable
vessel OF the enemy's feet. They tack
led him hard, slammed him to earth
viciously, pulled him by the head, the
arms, the legs. gathered around him
in q mob and rubbed his face into the
unyielding sod, gouged him, .pummeled
him and battered him almost to the
point of committing mayhem. But on
each occasion, though deprived of one
stocking, bleeding from several cuts,
limping badly on both feet, and gem
orally in need Of repair, the redoubt-
able Carpenter bobbed mp serenely,
and continued to dazzle all hands by
his splendid football When he seemed
almost on the point of collapse from
injuries received he cleverly made q
fair catch on the Navy's 46-yard line,
and, with his mangled leg, kicked a
clean goal from placement that made
DeWitt's recent exploit look like
thirty cents.
Carpenter opened by kicking to Ma
vy's 15-yard line, Halsey returning
the ball 10 yards. The Middies, un-
able to make their downs, punted to
v. p. rs 45-yard line Carpenter and
Hodgson made gains of Is yards, and
then Carpenter, skirting right end,
with fine interference, ran 80 yards
for a touchdown. Time, 3 minutes.
He kicked his own goal. After this
honors were nearly even, though the
ball was mainly in Navy's territory.
Taken as whole, it was q splendid
contest, and even the Midshipmen on
the bleachers were forced to cheer the
work Of Carpenter and his aids. The
line up:
Virginia Polytechnic Institute-Rob-
ins, left end Wilson, left tackle walsh,
left guard; Stiles, center; Miles, (cap-
tain, right tackle; Lewis, right end
Baer, quarter back; Byrd, left half
back carpenter, right half back Coun-
full back.
Naval Academy--Howard, left end
Grady, left tackle; Chambers, left
guard Rees, center; Oak, right guard |;
Piersol, right tackle Soule, (captain),
right end; Wilcox, quarter back
Strassburger. left half back; Dowell,
right half back; HalseY. full back.

The condition Of midshipmen Wallace,
Dickinson and Farley, who have been in
the Naval Academy Hospital for the
past two weeks is much improved today.
While Farley has undoubtedly had ty.
phoid fever, it is not now thought that
the other midshipmen are 50 affected. al
though at first their cases we're thought
to be typhoid and for two weeks gave
the authorities considerable nuneasiness
and samples Of their serum were sent to
Washington for analysis, the result Of
which has not ben given out

"The Crisis" AT The Colonial
Monday. November 23rd.

There has been q sudden increase In
the demand for Winston Chu.chills
uovel, THE Crisis" both at the Libraries
and at the book stores in this city. There
is no doubt that this demand is due
solely to the announcement that Miss
Isabel Irving and her company will ap-
pear at the Colonial Theatre on Monday
night, Nov. 23rd, under the direction of
Mr.. James Il Hackett in Mr.. Church
ills dramatization Of bis novel, "The
Crisis"
Asa play "The Crisis" is said to be even
more interesting, more intense than as
book. Real as the characters have
seemed because of the art with which
the author has drawn them, they must of
necessity be more real, more human in
the hands of Miss Irving and her clever
associates. Indeed it would be difficult
to find any young woman In this country
today better suited by temperament and
manner to the character of Virginia
Carvel than is Miss Trying. The rest of
the characters are well-known hands.
Judge Whipple. one of the most inter
esting figures in both play and book is
realized by Joseph Brennan, whose
original creation Of the part had much
to do with the plays first success, while
Col. Carvel will be played by Thomas A.
Hall, who was also the original of that
character. Mr. Wilfred North, for many
years Mrs. Fiske's chief support, will be
seen as Stephen Brice, the part played
originally by Mr. Hackett.
The entire production, which was
untitled during the long run of "The
Crisis" at Wailack's Theatre last season
will be seen at the Colonial in fact the
entire presentation will be identical with
those made during the New York en-
gagement, when Miss Irving was de-
clared to have made the success Of her
career.

As A Football Star.

All the football enthusiasts agree that
Carpenter the left half Of the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute, who played here
on Saturday, was the best back that was
ever seen here. The Navy is also be-
moaning the fact that he narrowly miss
ed being midshipman and are thinking
Of what tower Of strength he would be
to the team at present. [ carpenter was an
alternate two years ago but his principal
was successful. He IS very anxious to
enter the Navy but it is not likely that he
can as there win not be another appoint
ment from his district until he IS too old .
His home is Clifton Forge. Va and he
expects to enter Yale next year.

Interesting Experiment In a Restau.
rant.

An advertising agent representing a
prominent New York magazine, while
on a recent western trip, was dining
one evening in Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for. his order he
glanced over his newspaper and no
ticed the advertisement, of well
known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart $
Dyspepsia Tablets; as he himself was
q regular user of the tablets he began
Specializing as TO how many of the 9TH
er travelling men in the dining room
We're also friends of the popular rem
edy for Indigestion.
He says: Il counted twenty lnree
men at the tables and III the hotel Of
flee l took the trouble to interview
them and was surprised to learn that
nine of the twenty-three made u prac-
Use OF taking one or two of StuartS
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
"One of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that at
one time he had been obliged to quit
the road. but since using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets had been entirely free
from indigestion. but he continued
their use, especially while travelling, on
account of irregulafity in meals and
because like all travelling men he was
often obliged to eat what he could get
and not always what he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture OF
health. said he never ate a meal with
out taking Stuart Tablet afterward
because he could eat what he pleased
and when he pleased, without fear of
sleeplcss night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on, the stomach,
causing pressure OH heart and lungs,
shortness of breath and distress in
chest, which he no longer experienced
since using the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets was the only safe rem
edy he had ever found for sour stom-
ach and acidity. he had formerly used
common sod:t to relieve the trouble,
but the tablets were much better and
safer 10 use
After smoking, drinking or other ex-
ccsses which weaken the digestive or
sans, nothing restores the stomach to
a healthy, wholesome condition SO eff |
fectually as Stuart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain |
the natural digestives, pepsin, diastase, |
which every weak stomach lacks, as |
well as nux, hydrastin and yellow par |
Fla. and can be safely relied upon as a |
radical cure, for every form Of poor
digestion. Sold by druggists every
