accident the motor continued at it's
highest speed, it being uninjured, and
no one being able to stop it.
Robertson had completed a round in

SQUAD LOOKS TO
Be A GOOD ONE
Freshman and Sophomore Teams
to Be Organized for Inter-

BY O'LoughIIn.


The gopher football hs!1o5 squad d. swel!ed

weather was muggy for any hard work
and DR.. Williams did not crowd any
Of the teams to the limit. Many Of
the players discarded the heavy jer-
amply heavy.
BEGINNING today, active steps will
be taken for the organization Of fresh
man and sophomore teams, and while
these teams are forbidden from play

morrow If present plans do not go

\. Squad Looks Well.
As a whole the squad looks good.
There Is 9 fair scattering Of men Of
weight and more indication of speed in
candidates than has been seen for sew
eral years. Among the men recruited
from the freshman team Of last year
are several promising young chaps, and
penty of eompe e for ns the p % on
aiminary to practice, some of the new
men surprised the onlookers by their
clever booting Of the ball. Capron, a
freshman. was kicking goals from the
IS and 6o,yard mark 3D. drop * his s and nd
university, st. Louis, whose family has
moved to Minneapolis, was toeing the
sphereoid around in pleasing fashion.
Art Larkin is kicking spirals in fin
ished style and Snyder and Shuknecht
have developed liking for trying the
punts and drop kicks: Nat Fryckman
Is out with the squad, but merely for
training purposes, as he is not eligible
son without a completion of proper
amount Of work. y =
The Oswald boys, North high stars,
entered Minnesota this week and will
make a try for the freshman team.
They are large, sturdy chaps and look
like football players. Among the new
were Kruger, Cram, Chestnut, Saxton,
Counter. Rademacher, Anderson, Ford,
Hoppin, Blake, Fairchild and Garberg.
Atkinson, Of last year s freshman team,
quarterback of promise, showed up
yesterday, and Archie Robertson was
arranging this morning to make his
appearance this afternoon.
Like the Schedule.
Football enthusiasm appears to be
growing. The students have been ad
mitted to the practice and large crowds
have watched such work as has beer
done. Turnout the fraternities there
has been sonnet hing of rivalry for get
ting men out for the team this season
The schedule has come in for unstintet
praise on all hands. It is limited il

New Haven, Conn.,, Sept. 2o.-Bige-
low, last year s tackle, and Dimes, the
best of the sub-quarterbacks showed up
at New Haven yesterday for practice
with the football squad. Overall, a
candidate for end last year, was also
on hand, and when the boys went to
Yale field for afternoon work there
was squad of twenty-five on hand.
The work yesterday was of the light
est sort, for the temperature was we'll
up in the eighties. For that reason the
men were tried out literally, but the
morning session will be abandoned until
cooler days. - =. '~.. =:
It was gratifying to Captain Morse
and Coach Rockwell to find Dimes in
fine shape and not at all sore from a
fall. In fact, Dimes declared that the
newspaper stories Of his injuries were
greatly exaggerated. Bigelow showed
great speed and in the catching and
running back of punts, got away faster
than the backs. He Is in splendid con.
dition. He was allowed only a. short
space Of work by Trainer Mack.
The kicking yesterday was divided
between tries for distance. short kicks
and placekicking for goals.

Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1906-09-22

A meeting is to be held in South
west Virginia, called by Governor
Swanson, for the purpose of arrang-
ing for an exhibit of Virginia's min
eral resources at the jamestown Ex-
position. This means much to that
section, but at the risk of being call
ed tiresome, we venture to inquire
once more, what are the people of
Eastern Virginia, and especially Ac-
comac, going to do about it? AS the
Free Lance submits the query: "Are
we going to sit quietly and let our
more progressive Western counties
reap all the benefits from the Expo
ton, or are we going to bestir our
selves, prepare an exhibit of our
products and resources, and with this
exhibit attract to our territory desir-
able settlers?" So far as AccOmac is
concerned it is up to our Board of
Supervisors and Produce Exchange
to answer, and there ought to be wis
dom enough in one of these bodies TO
see, that it is important that we have
an exhibit at the Exposition.

The popularity of Hon. VIM. Jen-
nings Bryan in the South, no one can
question, who has read the reports OF
his speeches and has noted the en-
thusiasm with which they have been
received in the last few days by all
who have heard them. The sugges-
ton even of Southern man for the
Democratic nomination for the Presi-
dency, made by a prominent paper
of late, instead of turning their at
tention from him seems to have IN
tensified their interest in him. In the
South, as elsewhere in the country
in fact he is looked upon as the logi'
cal candidate, not of the politicians
but of the rank and file of the Demo
cratic party, and his nomination is as
well assured as anything i'll the future
can possibly be. Nor is his popularity
a conundrum but the most natural
thing to be looked for. His bitterest
enemies commend him for the purity
of his life and answering honesty III
all thugs, and for range of knowledge
breadth of view, depth of intuition
and wisdom he is recognized as the
equal if not the superior of all has
compeers. Never a trimmer or strad
dler on any question the people know
where to find him and naturally are
attracted to him. The revival of hi:
popularity is not therefore a politica
phenomenon, as has been suggested
but a spontaneous tribute to his hon
esty and ability. The people i'll
word are for him because he stands
for the things that they believe arr
right and just, and because they be
lieve as President he would admins
ter the affairs of the government no
in the interest of trusts and combine
but of all the people. The senseles
cry which has been raised agains
him even, because of his views in re
gard to the Government ownership o
railroads, will be a source of strength
rather than weakness to him. Tha
he will be the nominee of his party i
certain, so certain that nothing IL
the range of human probability viii
suffice to reverse it,
