MED|CoS EXPECT
EARLY ANSWER TO
CAROLINA OFFER
BLUE AND WHITE ANXIOUS FOR
GAME--MAY PLAY DAVIDSON
OR WAKE FOREST.

No definite reply to the telegram
sent by DIR. Wigs, of the faculty OF
the Medical College of Virginia, to
the management OF the University OF
North Carolina offering them a game
with the Metiicos for November 10th,
provided the game will be played In
this city has been received.
North Carolina, however, Is
very anxious to arrange game for
that week rs they have a break In
their schedule, due to the cancela-
ton of the game with A. and NJ, of
nineteen days, from the Washington
and Lee fracas until they meet Vir-
ginia here on Thanksgiving day. For
this reason 1t is believed that they will
agree to the doctors provision and
journey up here for contest with the
local team.
According to DIR. Wigs II will be
impossible for the Medicos TO go To
Chapel Hill, and because it is known
that they would be able to give the
Tarheels an excellent preparatory
game for the annual meeting with
Virginia 1t Is believed that they will
accept. Should the management be
unwilling to come here a contest will
very probably be scheduled with
Wake Forest or Davidson ut Chapel
Hill. according to a telegram received
from Carolina last night A definite
answer from the Blue and White
management Is expected early today.

HANOVER FARMERS
PREVENT HUNTING
UNTIL DECEMBER
AND CHESTERFIELD
MAY TAKE LIKE STAND-CITY
sPoRTsMEN KILL ALL GAME

Hanover authorities have come to
the relief OF the farmer and have re-
fused to open the hunting season I'M
til the first of December. According
to reports being circulated I'm Henrico
and Chesterfield 1t seems probable
that the authorities OF these counties
will also take the same step and that
instead OF being able TO get liis annual
Thanksgiving hunt the city sportsman
viii he forced to remain I'm town and
see the football games, the theatcrs
or discover some other means for
passing the holiday.
The point raised by the farmers Is
that the sportsmen OF the city flock TO
the country on Thanksgiving day in
such numbers and kill SO many OF
the birds and ha-es as to seriously
interfere with the sport of the soil
tillers later in the season. The farm
ers hold that because of the fact that
they are at that time in the midst of
getting their crops indoors they have
no time to hunt and that when their
work has become less, SO also has be-
come the game and they arc prevent
ed from getting the pleasure OF hunt
ing because of the scarcity of birds
and rabbits.
1t Is understood that little trouble
was found in having the closed season
heightened and that 1t Is probable
that IL the Chesterfield and Henrico
counties follow the leadership of Han
over the seasons opening date VIII bt'
permanently set as xDeccmber list.
This ts a revival of a controversy
which received considerable promin-
ence last year and drew forth several
statements from MacHart, OF Ashland,
and DIR. Hillsman. Of this city. City
sportsmen are OF the same opinion ex-
pressed by MIR. Hart last year, that IL
Is because OF the fact that so many
city men use the pump and automatic
guns that the farmers arc protesting,
and that II the ordinary double bar
relied gums were used there would be
no fight against AN early opening OF
the hunting season.
Several men In the field with auto
matte gums can annihilate q cover OF
birds white the huntsman with a
single or double-barrel gun Is prob
ably killing two, at the most As most
of the farmers use the latter kinds OF
guns their position seems to be some
what as Mr.. Hart has put 1t.
III these kinds of guns we're put tic
general use, or probably better, If
there was legislation against the use
of the automatic and pump guns by
sportxmen, 1t Is probable THAI the
stand taken ty the Hanover farmers
and that which win probably be taken
by those OF Hanover and Chesterfield
would be unnecessary. Tire hunts
man would be able 10 find just as
much sport without the hoggish
slaughter OF the game. He would
also leave sufficient game to- provide
sport for the men who make hunting
for them q possibility.

Ellis WAKING
UP FROM SOUND
ATHLETIC SLuRbER
yTUDENT BODY DISCOUNTED
OVER POOR SHOWING OF
YALE TEAM.

An air of earnestness pervades the
athletics at Yale university this fall,
which is in marked contrast to the
rather Indifferent attitude which has
shocked veteran alumni during the
past few years. On all sides there is
IN apparent awakening to the need
Of pulling out of the nut il the Blue
ID to resume It's record of winning
fair share of the contests in which
ID teams are entered. 1t Is not alone
In the major sports that this new
ypirit Ia evidenced, but In the minor
competitions as well. Although foot
ball and fall rowing now hold the
attention Of the majority Of the stu
dents, the coaches and managers OF
the winter sport teams are actively
engaged in preparing for strong
squads and schedules
As an example Of the new spirit at
New Haven. the Yale Basketball as
ISOLATION has decided to enter a var
sity five in the Intercollegiate Basket
ball league this winter. The Blue
withdrew from the league last win
ter. owing to lack of interest and
financial support on the part of the
student body. 1t has been decided.
however. that in order to stimulate
interest in basketball at Yale, it will
be necessary 10 have the university
represented in the league again. AS
: result of this decision, Captain III.
d. Swihart will call the candidates to-
gether st the end of November and
place them In charge OF Coach Haskell
Moves, captain of the Yale champion
ship teams of 1907 and 1908 Since
his graduation Noyes has coached the
University of Wisconsin fives with re-
markabie success.
The hockey squads Will also start
rttnr thoS this upa In arler
that the varsity team may have the
benefit OF number Of practice games
prior to the opening Of the intercol-
leGiate series Conditions for practice
and play will be far superior to those
existing during previous years. new
artificial Ice rink will be available at
New Haven this winter, and the Yale
seven will have the same opportunity
for training as Harvard has In the
Roston rink. and Columbia in the New
York rink. The new rink VIII have
a playing surface OF close TO 10000
square feet, and will be equipped with
locker rooms. shower baths and
iounging rooms. The rink, which la
a business enterprise and not connect
ed with university athletics. will be
located within II few blocks OF the
campus. Heretofore the Yale hockey
players have been obliged to ride to
the edge of Yale field In order to use
the open air rink. which proved un-
satisfactory Axcapt the lasst

little WOMEN
GREATLY ENJ0I[Q
CAST WELL PLACED AND PLAY
Is SIMPLE AND
PLEASING.

An appreciative audience at TIE
Academy of Music last night enjoyed
Louisa M. Alcott's Little Woman
The cast was well placed. Wh4l4
there are no specially deep thoue6tm'
in the lines. there are many little ~
cidents and scenes which bring aymS
pathetic tears to the eyes of th0o4
who have been up against the wolf
with hard hearted rich relatives an1
kind hearted friends near to eithe9
help, or cause heart pangs.
The story is a simple one. ThAt ~
man with four daughters. and with
little business acumen. and who went
to the wars. to be brought back home
sick. A wealthy neighbor with O. ms
young relative. helps tho mother care
for the girls while the father h com
valescing. and n wealthy aunt. who.
scolds every time she does anything
good. together with the poor but hon~
est lover. who eventually makes good,
and the hard working girls, together
with the typical servant, makes q GOOD
company.
But what is the use of rehearsina
the story.
1t has teen read probably by morU
people In the United States ana else
where than almost any other book o.
recent years.
While it's time is laid during thAs
War Between the States, and its cos
tuning is of that date. there 10 no
smoke, no powder, no soldiery. No
reference to the war.
The characters of Meg. 10, Beth AMI
Amy are all in capable hands. Jos
with literary aspirations, Is the hoy
den of the family. but she is the
strongest of the cast, although this
other three daughters have her beat
on looks. Beauty Is only skin deep
however.
Mrs. March (Margaret Dills) cArried
the audience with her. So far as tAl-
ent is concerned. Miss Dills had 1t on
the others, although Ethel Cunning
ham, as Hannah. a small part. wa0
good in her comedy.
Miss Margery Taylor. as Jo. w.
entertaining, while Miss Lucy Cotton
Henrietta Mcdaniel and Eleaine Benz
ton as the sisters, were exceedingly
clever. .s@
The men in the cast particularly
George Clarke. as Laurie: G. c.
Gwynne, as John. and Gavin HarTtD,
as Mr.. Lawrence, were splendid. Munn
may be said of the work OF Robert
Fischer, as Professor Bhaer. ThoAo
who can, should see Little women
either at the matinee today. or the
performance tonight.

SPIDERS PLAY
YELLOW JACKETS
This AFTERNOON
TEAMS PRIMED FOR ANNUAL Ex-
HIBITION GAME--SENSATION
FRACAS EXPECTED,

The Richmond college Spiders face
their real tests of strength this after
noon when they meet the Yellow
Jackets from Randolph in their
annual exhibition game The fracas
will begin at $3.50 o'clock. and will
probably be fast and hard fought. This
game has no bearing on the Eastern
intercollegiate championship as 1t is
purely an exhibition affair.
However, Coach Dobson will send
team on the field composed OF the
very best players he has been able to
discover in the local institution. and
Coach Reiss will do the same with
the men at his disposal 1t will be the
test of real strength, and each aggre-
cation will make It's hardest efforts
to outwit and outplay its adversary.
1t Is believed that the result OF the
game this afternoon will furnish in
measure a clue as to the final out
come of the championship race.
Richmond college has greatly i'm
proved during the past few weeks,
and. according TO Coach Dobson, Is in
fit shape to put up the best game Of
which the team Is capable. They have
many things to agg them on toward
victory today. and the men will enter
the game with the determination to
fight their hardest 1t is thought by
local followers of the sport that the
contest will be close, and that the win
ter will probably have an advantage
OF not more than two touchdowns.
From Ashland has come the report
that the Jackets are also In prime
condition for the game, and that they
expect to win. No high expectations
of n large score are held, though. for
the showing OF the Spiders in the past
few games has marked them as be-
ing opponents worthy Of considerable
consideration. However, the manner
In which the Lemon and Black team
went at the Blues last Saturday. and
the highly creditable game the team
as a whole played leads the support
ers of the team to expect victory.
Both teams will have out large fol-
coverings OF rooters, and 1t Is probable
that Riehmonders will be treated to
another snake dance or grapevine, or
whatever the thing Is called at the
conclusion Of the game. 1t is cer-
tainty. though, that should the local
collegians take the big end of the score
there will be many bonfires around
the campus, and a celebration lasting
far into the night. The roofing corps
of each school has been working
overtime during the past week, and
are said to have their threats in fine
trim for the test This afternoon.
