Ashland. Va, November 2S.-The
students of Randolph Macon found a
new advocate for their cause before
the faculty to-day in no less a per-
,sonage than President Tart himself.
The faculty recently ruled that while
the team could play its final and
greatest game against Richmond Co.'s
lege, in Richmond. on Saturday, the
students could not attend. on account
of an alleged breach Of discipline.
The presidential train stopped at
Ashland for few minutes. while the
President addressed the students and
faculty Practically the. whole town
and the entire student body Were at
the depot. DR.. r. F.. Blackwell, presi-
dent of the college. who came from
Richmond on the train, introduced the
President. and then called for three
cheers for Mr. Taft. These We're given
with Will and the President laughed
and said, Boys, you and ] don't give
yells like that nowadays, do WEI"
The President then said that If the
boys had only committed an offense
against the United States he could
readily get them out of their present
trouble. so that they could see the
game on Saturday. but" he said, II
