SEWANEE TIGERS SNATCH
 VICTORY AT LAST MOMENT

Austin, Texas, November 2.-Coming back into the game in the second haii of play with fight in them, Sewanee defeated the University of Texas foot ball team after desperate effort by a score of 6 to here this afternoon. The two teams played an even game during the first two quarters of play, Texas securing her touchdown on the recovery of a tumble by James on sewanee's 25 yard line. Sewanee's touchdown came in the last two min utes of play when Gillespie blocked Kirkpatricks punt on Texas 10 yard line and crossed the goal line.
 During the second half Sewanee With disheartening frequency Meyers circled the ends for large gains Se- vance also worked the forward pass effectively. but that method of play was not used as much as the end runs.
 fexas'-- line was impregnable until
 the last few minutes of play when Gillespie broke through and snatched the victory.
 For sewanee Meyers at quarter. was | the star. his speed and generalshfp being potent factor.

FOOTBALL GOSSIP FROM
 SOUTHERN GRIDIRONS

Whorter and Woodruff are in best form they can create enough havoc behind line to disturb any opposition, however powerful.
 Another interesting game booked for Saturday is that to be played between Auburn and Georgia Tech. If Davis has recovered sufficiently fromtthe hurt sus- tained in Birmingham last Saturday to participate in the game in Atlanta to- morrow, Auburn will defeat the Tech lads by a healthy margin. If Davis is out of the game, however, it Is probable that Auburn will win by a comparatively small score.
 However. it is remembered that once upon a time there was doubt expressed as to the outcome of a game between Georgia Tech and Auburn, the general impression heinz that the two aggrega tions were about evenly matched. Auburn won that game by such large score that for fear that no one will believe us we will refrain from mentioning it. The re- suit was probably due to the yellow jack cts which the Tech players wore.

Dr. Pollard in Limelight

At the present time Dr. J. w. H. Pol lard is the biggest man In Virginia, even as he was in Alabama when he coached the football team of the university.
 When Dr. Pollard went to Washington and Lee the team of that institution was the doormat for the average team of that section of the country Last season Dr. Pollard discovered that the reason was due to the fact that college spirit was at d comparative low ebb and that his pe- culiar system of training was judged so severe that there were few who did not on che or more occasions get permission to step without the bounds.
 This season. however, he worked out his team until he selected an aggrega- tion of spirit and not of avoirdupois only. As a result, he played a tied game against the Virginia Polytechnic institute last Saturday, and his team to- day ranks with that of the University of Virginia.
 Tn our opinion, he Is unquestionably the best handler of football material who has ever bossed a gridiron squad in the South intercollegiate Athletic association.

Mayor Taylor says the tax rate has not gone
I'D as consequence of the new law; it is
only % mills on the dollar, rate which he
considers low for young and growing
city.
Taxes are now levied in Vancouver, for
municipal purposes, on land values only
The provincial government, however, lev1es
taxes for other purposes in accordance with
the old plan, SO that single taxes are IN a
measure, justified in holding that even here
the Henry George system is not being tested
with entire fairness. Nevertheless, IN the
estimation of impartial observers, it will ap-
near that the experiment is being carried
a1ono in Vancouver on lines broad enough
to exhibit with sufficient strength and clear
ness all that is meritorious in the Plan AS
sessments are made annually, and since the
elimination of improvement taxes began
there has been, it is said, steady increase
IN valuations. The present year, Tor IN
stance, they have increased Is to 80 per cent
over last year, and Mayor Taylor is Wiling
to be quoted as saying, without quaHrlca-
tion. that the law is working out success
fully. He claims that it has had tendency
to encourage owners OF vacant properly ~

building permits issued than in l9OO, and
this year the permits will exceed IN NUMBER
those of last year by fully Is per cent lhese
permits are for residences, office buildings
stores and warehouses.
In arriving at the valuation OF lano' tne
nractise in Vancouver is to get as nearly
as possible to the last selling price me
assessment is made on basis OF % per CEN
of this valuation thus, lot valued at Sl'Ooo
is taxed at $3.50. If two pieces OF properly
living side by side are under consloeratlon'
and one bears a thirteen story building Wfllle
the other has four story structure INC
owner of the latter must pay the same tax
as the. owner of the former. In other Woluo'
as Mayor Taylor puts it, instead OF nnills
a man for improving his property we put
the weight of fine on the man VINO doesii L
We do not believe that the man who erects
a handsome residence or an othce Dullullls
On his lot should be fined for the energy ne
displays. o
Mayor Taylor, after witnessing the sue
cess of the exemption of improvements from
taxation in the city, says he is convinced
that the system should be applied to the
country in general. The natural resources
and the land should, he believes bear all
the burden Of taxation. At the next pro
