When the football season opened
the Virginia coach. c. r. Williams,
was dismayed at the loss of so many
stars Of last year and the advent of
so many raw men on the team. His
skillful training, however, soon
wrought wonders, and gave the col
lege probably the best-trained team
which Davidson has ever put into the
field. Although meeting the strongest
teams in the South, among them the
Universities of Virginia and North
Carolina, the record made for 1913
was an unusually creditable one.

To the above card Of Editor and

Rollins makes the following reply:

tanned the falsity of his statement by
making reasonable inquiry. AS a

rectly or indirectly and did not even
know that such an item appeared IN

Yesterday. Mr.. Hildebrand'S intima-
ton that | was the author of the item
referred to, or that I procured it to
be sent out is a Wilful falsehood. Mr.

Their Money.


New York, April Representing
the holders of bonds to the number of
GAL out of 1900 of the Forty-second
street. Manhattansville Street railway,
the Union Trust Company has applied
to the state supreme court for the ap-
pointment of a receiver OF the road in
an action for an accounting Of the
earnings of the company.
The bonds are Of the par value of
$1,000 each, and no interest has been
paid for some years. It is asserted by
the petitioners that the Metropolitan
street railway, when it gained control
Of the line, Instituted a system Of book
keeping as to make it appear that
the Forty-Second Street Company Is
not earning a surplus income and fig
ured in floating indebtedness to the
Third Avenue Company amounting TO
nearly s6,00O,OOO, so that the creditors
of the Forty Second Street Company
were left behind.
These charges were explained by
President Vreeland Of the Metropolitan
who asserted that the purpose of the
bondholders will be to sell their hold
ings at a price in excess Of the ac-
tual value. Decision was reserved.
