BASKETBALL GAINS
IN POPULARITY HERE

Richmond is to have two basket
all leagues this winter. This is the
first time in the history Of the game
In Richmond that the principle athe-
letic organizations are to come %
gether. The Richmond Amateur
Athletic federation will meet at the
Blues armory tonight at o'clock and
has invited every organization in Rich
mond to send the manager OF their
basketball team to attend this meet
ing.
Spalding's A. A. u. official guide
will be used and the officials will be
appointed by the federation. In order
to interpret the rules in uniform
manner the federation will instruct its
officials so that the league games VIII
be run in the best of order. Instead
of twenty minute halves, 1t is very
likely that the federation Will suggest
ten minute quarters.
The federation has tried hard to get
in touch with all the basketball teams
In Richmond, and If any have been
overlooked. let them send represent
alive to this meeting and get acquaint
ed with the plans.

OUTS ROPE AND DROPS TO
DEATH TO SAVE FRIEND

Friendship, like that of David and
Jonathan" is the basic theme OF a
two-reel photoplay with Its principal
action laid In the great Northwest,
which will be shown at the Superior
theater today. The Eciair has won
an enviable reputation for its plays of
the rugged North, and 1t is likely that
this will add to il with Its gripping
action and heart-interest story. The
settings and atmosphere are true to
the country and the various parts
have been well cast.
Donno1iy and Burns are fast friends
and partners in business. When bust
ness reverses come unexpectedly their
sweethearts turn against them. They
leave the place and decide to start life
anew In the Northwest.
After narrow escape in a great
waterfall the boys make their way,
in a half dead condition. to an old
prospector's cabin. where they find his
blind daughter alone to welcome
them. The father does not return.
The two men search and find him
dead. After breaking the news 10 the
girl they lay plans to restore her eye
sight. Later. they send for their
friend In the city. a noted specialist,
and he performs the operation.
Able TO see. the girl discovers her
fathers map which designates the To-
cation of his secret mine. Informed
OF this the boys prepare an expedi-
ton to, locate the gold. After trip
over the cliffs they find It. Starting
back they attempt to climb a clifi

Randolph Macon for first honors.
The team Will not go up against
the Orange and Black eleven In any

Dobson has been telling his men this

England's Chances

misfortune OF series of accidents
came this afternoon when Captain H.

Grey Glover, and sustained a broken
collarbone, which will keep him out of
the competitions for the rest of the

Captain Parker was not depended

Stewart Richardson, of the Eleventh
Hussars, limped into the ring TO ride

was injured. and discarded erutch

His foot was SO badly injured that he

the gallant captain went over the
Jumps in good style, though he failed
to get n ribbon. Another member OF
the British team, Colonel P. A. kenna'
had his hack so badly sprained that 1t
gives him intense pain to take the
jumps.

FROM THE VIEWPOINT
OF THE PRESS AGENT
Sousa A Good Mixer.

The popularity Of a Sousa band
concert Is the direct result of the
genius and instinct of John Philip
sousa in knowing what 10 give his
audiences He has been criticised at
times for mixing the bright with the
serious. but his own explanation for
SO doing makes a human and UNI
answers BILE defense OF fds methods.
He says; When you go TO a play
say, one OF Shakespeare you
blame the dramatist If you are made
to laugh? Do you want your money
back on that account? If you ind
Joke in book written by George
Meredith tyou don't, butt. in book
by Dickens, Ralzac or Thackery, do
you throw the book aside, or even
think less of ii because Of the humor
OF II? Tell me?
"Yet Shakespeare. Dickens. Thack-
cry and Balzac were all tragic writers,
And. 10 say the least the function OF
music is not TO picture the dark side
of life"
That Sousa is right, everyone will
agree who attends the concerts at the
Academy on Friday, matinee and
night by Sousa and his band.

CADETS DEFEAT
ASHLAND HIGH

ASHLAND. VA, Nov. 1S.-Bene-
dictine college were easy :victors here
this afternoon over the team repre-
senting Ashland high school, the
score being Is to 2.
Apparently the score would have
been much larger, but the game was
played on the Randolph Macon cam
pus and the two teams had 10 aban-
don the field shortly after the open
ing of the third quarter in order to
allow the collegtans to practice.
In the first quarter neither side had
any advantage over their opponents,
the ball see-sawing up and down the
field. However, when the initial
quarter ended the ball was on the
ten yard line, and Il took the Cadets
only few minutes to take ii over
the goal line. The Cadets punted to
Ashland, and the ball soon went over
on downs. With series or line
plunges Captain Fletcher soon took
the ball over for the second touch
down.
me third and last score made by
the Green and White boys happened
when Captain Fletcher intercepted a
forward mass and carried the ball iif-
teen yards for touchdown. Ash
/ lands score came in the opening Of
! the third quarter, when Streat fell
on the ball over the goal line. In
realty II was touchhack, but the
I referee ruled that IL was a safety. and
/ gave the home team two points.

! the principal feature of the game.

Members Of the committee are

Marting and Dunn. which were In
jured in Saturdays game against
Princeton, are due for one more
backin. bfore the team departs for
Cambridge to meet Harvard. Carter
and Pendleton are as good as they
ever were, the wrenches to their
ankles having completely disappear
ed so that the lineup which starts
the game against Harvard will be the
same that started against Princeton
unless something unforeseen hppens.
There was no scrimmage for the
varsity today, though 1t amounted to
the same. The second team was
lined up In the Harvard formations,
ard tired breaking through the Yale
lineup, which was the varsity. This
practice, which was rather hard was
the only work for the varsity, as the
coaches want them to be in excellent
shape for the starting of the Harvard
game rext Saturday.
