Big Richmond has more than kept its annexa-

it was offering that one time-town inducements to
drop its name and become part OF Richmond
Under the name of South Richmond or Washing

South Richmond will be the seat of more5mahu-
featuring and more industrial activity than any
other. part Of Greater Richmond. Indeed, it does
not require the foresight of very great prophet
to enable one to observe the day in the not far dis
tant future when South Richmond will be doing
more manufacturing in all lines than all the bal

Then, too, the contract for the pulling down Of
the ancient Mayo's Bridge and the building Of a
magnificent bridge across the James has been let,
and in due time that will be another splendid

the process wasn't as complicated.

Still this new game is to great
extent one OF parliamentary distinc-

Michigan Superior, For 1t
Gained and Held When Gains
and Holdings Were Needed.

Advocates of the old-time. standard
methods OF football are justly disport-
ing themselves in high glee.
Backed by the remarkable demon
stration by the Michigan eleven,
Saturday. they are winning arguments
from all corners Michigan played
straight football. with just enough OF
the new stun thrown in to keep the
other fellows guessing. She scored
III points thereby, while Penn, play

An old question. II is, and has been
for the last four years. Whether TO
forward pass or buck the line; wheth-
er TO on-side kick or rush-off tackle;
whether TO BLUM at the new-fangled
fakes or go through with them-what
devotee of the game has not taken
part in the debate? With Saturday s
game in point, the advocates OF
! straight stun are naturally rampant.
Most folks went away from the
game with the strong impression that
Penn, though losing. had displayed
more real class than had the men OF

brief:
What team was it that gained its
ground when it needed II most?
Also. what team was IL whose de
Tense braced and delivered the goods

To both OF these questions there-ts
but one answer The team was
Michigan.
Who can ever forget the stone wall
which Michigan presented in that first
quarter when, despite the gale in
their faces and the successful on
slaught which Penn had worked In
the middle OF the field, Yost's men In
three different crises, fought back the
