The good roads cause which is OF
vital interest to every man who drives
an automobile. will be greatly advanced
by the selection of Washington as the
permanent convention city Of the good
roads hoard IF the American Automo-
bile Association
I Tie executive committee of this pio-
neer motoring organization has come to
this decision in order that campaign
may be carried on during sessions of
Congress in the interest of Interstate
road building. The program which the
committee proposes to try to induce
the Government to undertake involves
the construction and maintenance of
about 5000 miles of highway.
The A. A. A will hold a good roads
convention here some time in December
and 1t is expected good roads enthusi-
aEts from all sections of the country
will be in attendance.
The question whether the participants
In the Glidden tour viii be compelled
to paw toll over the fine pike through
the Shenandoah Valley has aroused
much interest throughout Virginia.
With Gov. Hoke Smith Of Georgia an
entrant and a number of Representa-
tives and governors likewise partici-
pating in the automobile classic. the
question has been raised whether the
company operating the turnpike will
insist on charging road tolls over its
stretch of ninety miles, amounting to
half as much as the tourists will have
to pay for the rest of the journey
from New York to Jacksonville. Pub
lie interest has been aroused In the
matter, chiefly because three-quarters
of the stock Of the turnpike company
is owned by the State Of Virginia.
WASHINGTON motorists are evincing q
lively interest In the news that the city
council of Baltimore will ask the next
MARYLAND Legislature to draft amend
ments to the motor vehicle law of that
state, regarding the issuing of licences
The proposed amendments call for the
appointment of reliable board Of ax-
aminers TO whom all applicants for II,
censes to operate automobiles shall sub
NIT their claims and qualifications. 1t
Is aimed to have licenses withheld from
all persons except those who, in addi-
ton to possessing the proper skill, are
sufficiently cautious in their habits and
not a menace to the general public. The
legislature, also, will be asked to insert
a provision making It punishable for
anycne to operate a rotor car unless
he has a license in his own name.

Crimson Eleven Is
Given Long Practice

CAMBRIDGE, Oct Fifty minutes
Of severest kind of scrimmage was
mcted out to the varsity regulars. The
second eleven opposed the first stringers
for twenty-five minutes Of play, the
regulars capturing their sole score of
TIE day when but two minutes of play
remained.
Storer, at center, for the regulars,
proved the man of the hour when he set
the pisskin behind the enemy's goal
post, following his capture Of 1t on his
own 45-ydrd line on an attempted for
ward pass by the second team. Nobody
barred his way down the field, and he
made the trip in canter.
One particular bright spot in the ses-
sion Was the work of Wendell. Nearly
every time that he was called on for a
gain he responded, gathering in two
thirty-yard advances. He also dis
played great power on the defensive.

Darkness Puts End
To Cornell Practice

ITHACA, n. Y, Oct 4-After a sharp
defensive scrtmmage, in which the
scrubs were unable to get the ball
across the varsity lines in twenty plays,
the Cornell Reds and the Blues lined
up for a scrimmage. and the play was
stopped when darkness interfered.
Neither team scored, but the defensive
qualities of the varsity were thorough
ly tested.
Jess Whyte was back at center in the
varsity lineup, and he was a big i'm
provement over the work of Weiden-
thai and Pfeffer, who have played the
position during his temporary absence.
His passing was good considering the
length Of his absence from practice.
Weidenthal was given a chance at right
guard, Stimson going over to the scrubs
and Reed worked like a Trojan to whip
the blonde-haired chap into shape. De-
lano was at right guard, Munk at left
tackle and Williamson, who continues
to show Improvement, played right
tackle. 1t is probable, however, that he
will give way toChampaign's superior
experience before long.

CARLISLE, Pa, Oct. 4.-Carlisle In

pretentious proportions yesterday when
Indian Coach Warner radically altered
the looks Of his line by placing Jordan,
who has just returned to the Carlisl
School within the past week, temper
arilyl at the left gard place, hitherto
occupied by William Carlow. The lat.
ter's talents require a showing, and he
was handed the center position until
now occupied by Bergie, who possesses
good qualifications. Hodge has beer
eliminated for the time being, and his
place at right guard delivered TO Charlie.
Williams. who showed up well in the
last three games.
Both of the principal quarterbacks
were out this evening by reason of stone
bruises, WEIGH with a bad shoulder and
Arcasa with slightly injured leg. A
scrimmage followed signals after a
preliminary drill at falling on the ball
and blocking.

able to combine speed with bulk re-
mains for this afternoons contest to de-
termine. Biddulp, the former Holy

Yale Scrubs Score
On Merritt'S tumble

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 4-After
defeating the Yale varsity Monday the
scrubs cup of joy was filled to over
flowing yesterday by a tie score in the
afternoon practice. A muffed punt by
Dick Merritt, the varsity quarterback.
only ten yards from the varsity goal
gave Uncle Sam Coates, the scrub
second team end, chance to fall on the
ball.
The regulars partially pulled them
selves out of hole by standing stone
wall like for four downs and taking the
ball on downs at their 5-yard line. An
derson. the varsity halfback. made a
mess out of the attempt to punt out of
danger. His kick was downed at the
1O-yard line, and Church, fullback,
plowed a furrow to the goal line for
the score Mitchels missed goal saved
the varsity from deeper ignominy than
a tie score.

By THOMAS KIRBY.

The upbuilding of sufficiently
versatile offense to give the team
powerful means of advance In both the
open style of play and the plungins
attack is now the principal concern of
the football coaches at Georgetown.
Satisfied that the defense is sufficiently
developed for the time bong, Coacn
Nielsen has set to work on plays that
will increase the ground gaining ability
of his proteges.
Practically every point scored by
Georgetown in the big games last fall
the touchdown in The Virginia contest
being the eXcepuon-resuIted either
from long runs or goals from the field,
so the plan now is TO so balance the
general play that when the team gets
within striking distance it will be pos
sible to go through without taking the
rather long chance OF depending upon
drop kicks.
In the goal-kicking line GEORGETOWN Is
particularly well fortified, as Costello
is reliable, while there are three or four
other men capable of sending the ball
spinning through the uprlSnts a fair
proportion of times when IL is within
reasonable distance OF the goal.
Until the personnel of the backfield is
decided upon II will be impossible to
say how much dependence will be
modern play will be included in the
collection of plays with various varia
tons and will undoubtedly be a con-
spicuous feature of GeOrgetown's play.
The Carlisle Indians, in their games
thus far, have shown remarkable skill
in the execution of the forward pass,
and to defend against this scheme sew
eral afternoons next week will be de-
voted largely to developing a shifting
style of defense.
no SQUAD he +
er part of three-quarterS of an hour to
the most strenuous sort of scrimmaging,
the coaches driving the varsity to the
very limit in the hope of developing
greater speed in starting and complet-
ing the attack. All the players not i'll
good condition were allowed to remain
out of the rough work. but when quits
was finally called it was tired set of
athletes that plodded gymnasiumward.
An X-ray examination of the injured
shoulder of Nlyman, the hack, showed
the first reports were exaggerated, and
he will be back in action within few
days.
Manager Walsh, of Georgetown, went
to annapolis yesterday to ascertain II
a practice with the Navy could be ar
ranged for today, but, as was to be eX-
pected, the plan was not put through,
as the midshipmens schedule was ap-
proved some time ago, and no further
additions will be allowed by the Of
ncials.
The board of faculty athletic advisors
OF the high schools are still working
in the hope of obtaining a suitable field
for the championship series. which is
scheduled to open in about two weeks.
The Washington ball club has not yet
given its consent to allow the use of
National Park, and If this is finally re-
fused the high schools will have a
most difficult situation confronting
them.

CHRISTIAN WOMAN OF NOBLE

FINAL SUMMONS.

An unusually sad death was that or
Friday at Franklin of Mrs Earl Tay
lor. She had been in poor health fol-
several weeks and the end was not
unexpected. Mrs. Taylor was Miss
Kate Henderson, and formerly lived
at Culleoka where she was well
known and much beloved. A woman
of exceptionally sweet disposition
and beautiful character she had en-
deared herself to all who came with
in the sphere of her influence. She
is survived by her husband Earl Tay-
Tor, formerly of CulleOka, and one
little son, Pert. The remains will be
taken to CulleOka at $40 o'clork this
afternoon and the funeral will take
place tomorrow morning at 1890

association of colleges and prepara

to be held at University of Alabama
at Tuscaloosa, on Nov. 2 and 3, as
announced by Secretary Bert E.
Young, Of Vanderbilt University

One of the most important matters
to be discussed at the meeting of the

since its organization, will be the re-
port Of the committee on uniform en-
trance examinations. AS more than
fifty of the largest southern educa-
tional institutions will be represented

be of wide interest.
The meeting will be held in Smith

There will be no less than one hun.
dred rooters to see the game and root
for their team. They are still smart
ing under the crushing defeat OF last
year and will bend every effort to
even up this year and then some.
Captain Porter stated to The Her
aid reporter today that while he real
lied that the team had a harder fight
than they had at Franklin, he be-
lieved the team would deliver the
goods by at least one touchdown.
Looney and Lockwood will both be-
back in the game and should Coach
McGehee get any of his men knock
ed out he has some mighty coed re-
serves to put in. Hedgecock and Ly-
tie and Whatley are good players.
Whatley is handicapped a little by
his meagre weight, but he is quick on
his feet and game to the core.
McAdams played the best offensive
game Saturday he has ever exhibited
and if he will do equally as well on
next Saturday there need not be any
fears on the right.
Porter is always in the game and
his tackle over tackle plays are kill
ers. The same is the case with Raj
ney, Looney and Lockwood. King is
the best center in the association,
Kober is improving every game and
is developing into a crack quart er.
He is a hard and aggressive player,
Witherspoon is a little too fast for
his interference, but he gets there
Just the same and will gain more
ground than any man on the team if
the proper interference is put up,
White and Spooneyman guard the
line like two bull dogs and when a
man gets through them he has had a
fight.
Hendley is a wonder and is devel-
oping into a tackle equal to anything
ever seen here. He is fierce in bis
attacks on the line and on the de-
tense is one of the best tacklers on
the team. Stevens and May are also
good men and more than likely one
of them will be seen in next Satur-
days game.
Every rooter that goes out to the
game Saturday will add that much to
the enthusiasm and strength OF the
team.
