JOE WOOD GREATEST KALSOMINER IN THE MAJOR CIRCUITS

the severe strain, physical and otherwise, upon Hardage in having to bear the brunt of the offensive operations. The amount of rough joltng received by him in the Mississippi and Virginia games looked to he enough to render man of much more rugged make up entirely disabled.
 Virginia a Surprise
 Virginia displayed q surprisingly stub- born defense against tht Commodores, but their attack was spasmodlc and generally ineffective, Captain Todd alone being 1 able to make advances, and never for more than 10 wards. With the exception Of the opening quarter, Vanderblts goal was never threatened. while the Vir- ginians were in frequent danger. Wander i hilt's forward pass work completely baf- ! fled the old Dominion cohorts. the work Of Hardsge and E. Brown in hurling and receiving being unusually fine. One touch down was lost by r.. Brown letting one slip from his fingers past the goal line. while another was effected but the ball brought back for the reason that. the of aeials declared that Shea had interfered with a Virginia man who was trying to get to the ball or the man with the ball. This was c1ose point and the fact was unchallenged that the interference In question did not affect the play as no Vanderbilt player was close enough to reach either tho ball or the man reeev- ing it. It was one of those plays that make officiating a tougher job than would ordinarily be the case. Nirginias s stand for tour downs within the shadow of her goal posts and within yard of her goal line is still the talk in local football circles This play elieted the forced ad- miration of even Vanderbilt partisans.

Three of the Bostonans wins were marked by the narrowest possible deciding score, to 0, the pitchers he con quered being Walter Johnson, who, like Wood, stood well up in the voting for the Chalmers Trophy from the plate he had to toll for Il innings and then a tumble by Jim Delehanty was of gerat assistance to the Red Sox in getting their one run. Wood was the lone American leaguer to reach double figures in whitewashes. Walter Johnson of the Nationals was the runner up to Wood in using the brush, Ed Walsh of Chicago reached third, an other Eddie, the left handed Plank of Philadelphia, being No. 4

SHOWS UNSXPECTED STRENGTH IN EASILY DEFEATING STRONG DAVIDSON TEAM--ALUMNI IN~ PERSISTED

Lexington, Va, November s.-(special) The Washington and Lee football warriors and student body have not yet fully re- covered from their surprise at the result of last Saturdays game with Davidson college Tho Presbyterians came to Lex
 ngton with an aggregation reputed to be stronger than usual, and they always turn out game and gritty elevens. Having held North Carolina Agricultural and Mechan- ical to a lone touchdown and having played strong, consistent football all sea- son. they were feared by the White and, Blue, and a close contest was expected. The amazement was great when the varsity scoring with apparent ease, rolled the count against the visitors up to 5i points the largest score of the season for the White and Blue. and the largest ever run up against Davidson.
 The outcome of the game was not the result of any lack of fighting spirit on the part of Davidson, for they gamely stuck by their guns until the close of the con test. Graham, quarterback for David- son. one of the fastest men seen here this season, did stellar work for them. but he worked practically unaided. and was able to get away with only few end runs. Mcqueen. the big left tackle, also played well for the visitors.
 It would be hard to pick the individual star for Washington and Lee for every man played great game. Sweeping end runs, line plunges and forward pass successfully executed now and then tell the tale. The policy of straight football used in the game last Saturday with Wake Forest was again resorted to- The team played in by far it's best form of the sea- son. The interference was splendid, the broken field running of the backs was spectacular and the line opened up huge holes for the backs to plunge through.
 Coach Reilys men have been showing marked improvement each week, but even most optimistic followers were surprised Gt their splendid showing Saturday. They will meet " P. l. next Saturday at Roam oke in good condition. Stewart, the big tackle, was injured, but it is not believed seriously. Captain Miller the eiephantins guard. was out of the game. The game next Saturday promises to be a great one and though Roanoke dispatches say the odds favor V, P. l. slightly. Washington and Lee will be on hand to give them the stiffest kind of fight and from the blowing of the whistle every man Is go- ing to fight his best. The student body has been granted a holiday for che occa- sion by the authorities and will attend on masse.

CONTEST IN TUSCALOOSA FRI DAY ATTRACTING CONSIDER ABLE ATTENTION-GOOD BAT TILE EXPECTED

The students of the University of Alabama will have their first oppor- tunity to see their team in action against an aggregation of any strength Friday when the Crimson warriors Jake on the Old Miss aggregation in Tuscaloosa.
 From all indications the contest will be a thriller of the first water old Miss showed by her fight against the Vanderbilt Commodores that, notwith- standing the setback they received at the hands of the s. I. A. A, they have upon the gridiron this season a squad of strong calibre, and one that will furnish strenuous opposition for any aggregation with whom they mix this season.

Washington's chances for obtaining

able to obtain better railroad rates at

in the work of the Automobile Club of

in the same class with locomotive and

derstOod, will ask the Maryland Legis-
lature. now in session, to pass a law

posed amendment to the motor car bill
will make ii a misdemeanOr for any

use the same except as a warning of

The proposed amendment will permit
the use of the siren and will, in fact,
relegate the use of the automobile horn
in the day time only to the background.

whenever the occasion does arise for
the use of a signaling device the siren
