The increasing number Of fatal
railroad accidents In the United
States. noted especially during the
past year, makes the discussion Of
the causes Of such accidents by Sec
rotary Mosely, Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, in tho Review Of
Reviews for November, particularly
timely. Mr.. Mosely points out grave
faults in our American system Of
running trains. He shows how great
or safety on the rail may be secured
by perfectly practicable reforms in
railroad management. All Of Mr..
Mosely's suggestions are the fruit of
twenty years of study, and they are
OF the greatest Importance to all who
have to do with the operation OF our
railroads. Not only the travelling
public, but the American people as
whole, is vitality concerned in oil the
reasonable efforts to reduce the far
full waste of life in both the freight
and passenger service.

CLOSE GAME EXPECTED.
George Washington Team Tackles
MARYLAND "Aggies" Saturday

The George Washington University foot
ball management has completed arrange
ments for a game Saturday afternoon with
the Maryland Agricultural College eleven.
This game should prove one of the most
interesting of the season. Both teams are
about evenly matched. Last year the M. A
c. won by score of to 0. So far the
two aggregatons have played creditable
ball The "Agges" and Randolph Macon
played a tie game in the early part of the
season. but George Washington defeated
the Ashland Men II to 0. Western Mary
land has defeated both teams by one touch
down, and this fact alone warrants the
prediction that University Field will be the
scene of great gridiron battle Saturday
afternoon.
Coach Rorke has been doing some hard
work with the squad this week Expecting
the battle with the Navy today, he had
mapped out some special plays for the
men, Notwithstanding the fact that the
game with Annapolis has been Cancelled. he
has worked the squad just as hard. All of
the varsity players have recovered from
the injuries received In the Gallaudet game
and by Saturday will be in perfect condi-
ton, barring accidents, of course in the
scrimmages with the scrubs. The scrubs
have been much strengthened since the
game with Technical High School. Wiley
and Bennett, the two guards, weigh AGO
pounds between them, and are fast getting
into shape.

BIG FOUR FOOT BALL TEAMS.
Princeton Scrubs Defeated the Varsity.

u
In two lively twenty minute halves at
Princeton yesterday the varsity ran across
another streak of bad luck. An execrable
defense. combined with offensive work that
was little better enabled the scrub to
outpIay them to a degree unusual even In
a season that has proved so wholly bad as
that Of this year. Smashing and tearing
down the field for sixty-five long yards
in spite of the 'varsity's utmost opposition,
the scrub finally made well-earned
touchdown. Their opponents scored moth
ing Most of the gains were made outside
of tackle, and 1t would appear that with
the recent addition of Dillon the center OF
the line is no longer vulnerable to the
former degree. The secondary defense was
much improved, and most of the scrub
gains were due to the slowness OF the for
wards.
Carothers played center, replacing Dutch
err There is a prevalent feeling that he Is
the man for the place. but after the freak
ishness of the work done since September
no one any longer ventures to prophesy,
unless indeed, 1T be the now famous Hell
Devil Skillman. Tooker and Tenney were
drilled in drop kicking from the 3o-yard
line and did some good work. Princeton
has not ceased however, to worry over
the unreliability of this branch of the work.
The results obtained in practice are gen.
orally satisfactory, but somehow everything
goes to pieces in the games. Cooney APP
pears to be the only reliable man on the
squad.

Yale Varsity Had Easy Time With
Scrubs.

Under orders from the coaching staff the
college team players deliberately disregard
ed the foot ball rule that prohibits stealing
the ball out of the hands of an opponent
and yesterday at New Haven made much
trouble for the Yale varsity players. The
object Is to compel the varsity players to
hold on to the ball. Several games have
been lost after they seemed won by Yale,
and repeatedly this year in practice much
hard won ground has been lost because the
ball was so easily dislodged in scrimmages.
The coaches argue that II the varsity
backs are forced continually to guard the
ball they will acquire the habit and 'fuky"
incidents be reduced to a minimum. Moth
ing but big score will satisfy Yale in the
Columbia game next Saturday and to that
end tremendous pressure is brought to bear
to give the Yale team speed in attack.
Those who saw secret practice yesterday
say that whrlwind game was played. In
the open work the varsity scored once by
line bucking so fast that the scrubs were
swept off their feet. After the touchdown
the ball was brought out to the twenty-five
yard line, where Hutchinson tried to drop
kick goa1-and protective formation for
him was tried. The forwards held WELL but
the kick went wide.
