LOCAL FOOT BALL NOTES.

To say that Capt. Sommers of the

up an excellent exhibition of defensive

would be putting it mildly. The sturdy

Charter for Railway to Cape Henry.

NORFOLK, Va, October 31.-Great in
terest is felt in the charter granted yes
terday by the state corporation commits
sion to the Lynn Haven Terminal Corpo-
ration, which is empowered to build a
railway to Cape Henry and operate fer
ries on the Chesapeake bay. with rail-
lines tapping the Rappahannock terri
tory whose trade is now tributary to
Baltimore. 1t was said here yesterday
afternoon by some in interest that this
charter was secured under the belief that
some time in the future such enterprise as
it contemplates may be undertaken. 1t
has long been believed that eventually a
ferry across the Chesapeake from Lynn
Haven. some twelve miles. instead of one
from Norfolk to Cape Charles, th.rty-six
miles, must be operated in order to quick
en- transit, and that eventually break
water will be built and pier constructed

MIDDIES READY FOR
THE CARLISLE INDIANS

ANNAPOLIS, Md, October 31.-Today
the date of the Carlisle Indian-Midship-
men foot ball game. dawned ideally for
the sport. Hhere is just enough chill in
the atmosphere to make the players hus-
tie. and yet not enough to keep the spec
tators shivering.
Interest among navy people generally is
at a high pitch. and the prospects of as
good game as was ever played on the
Academy gridiron are bright. Both the
Indians and the Midshipmen played among
the big four last Saturday, and each
held their respective opponents to the
same score. The Indians tied Pennsylva-
MIA and the Midsh pmen tied Harvard.
In both games the figures were the same

that this Is the first time the speedy Red
skins have played the Midshipmen for six

was some disagreement over the contest

of the country as more worthy opponents
than in earlier years. Navy having tied

Interest in the game, which will be

the chances are that there will be as large
If not greater crowd about the Navy field
than witnessed the contest with Harvard

game. The object of his trip is to get an
idea of Virginia's style Of playing. and
there is no doubt but that he will be
chuck full of useful information when he
returns.
AS will be remembered by those inter-
ested, Capt Cloth of Virginia was one Of
the officials at the Georgetown-North Car
DINA game last Monday and was able thus
to learn a great deal about Georgetown's
formations. But 1t Is an even bet that
Newman will have more under his hat to-
morrow than Cloth did last Tuesday.
There is no game scheduled for the Blue
and Gray crowd today. Originally the
Fordham game held the date, but the con-
test was postponed until election day.
The team will leave this city Monday at
noon for New York This arrangement
lis and should allow them twelve hours Of
sleep. a thing most necessary for max
ing the men feel Ike fighting.
Yesterday afternoon practice was out
doors. After about half an hour of
signal work Coach Newman called for a
scrimmage, and for twenty minutes the
first and second teams roughed it up. The
varsity in that time scored two touch
downs to the scrubs nothing.
A new man showed up that looks good.
His name is DAILY. and he halls from Old
Point Comfort. where he played for two
years for his local college. He was in
for awhile yesterday at half on the second
team and pulled off some excellent runs
around the ends
Today the work will be of about the
same order as yesterday. Capt. Miller
will have charge Of the squad and he will
be assisted by Sam Edmonston and Percy
Owens. All are anxious to see them
wrest a victory from Fordham. and If
they don't 1t will not be the fault of
either the men or their hackers, for both
are doing their share in preparation for
the fray.
