News Leader and Seed Corn.

Among a number of questions the News
Leader propounds to the Hon. Fl. G.. Stuart is
the following, with special reference to educa-
ton.
Here is a problem that affects the seed corn
of the next generation. Virginia is learning
about the cereal crop. Where will she be II her
citizen crop deteriorates, or stands still, while
the rest of the world moves on?"
But why should the News Leader be so con-
cerned about the intellectual development of
Virginia seed corn" when II Is silent about
the ravages of the legalized destruction Of Vir-

A FTuftJeSs FusfiIade.
In its yesterdays issue the Richmond Times
Dispatch, responding to adverse comments upon
its anti-lobby campaign, took occasion to re-
produce many of its previous criticisms against
what it pleases to designate as the plunderbund
or the officeholders' trust.
To the extent that the Times-Dispatch Is bat
Ting against the operation OF evil lobby innu-
ences in the general assembly Of Virginia, IT
has our very earnest sympathy. And 1t would
besides enjoy the vigilant cooperation of this
newspaper In stirring up public sentiment
against the vfl-and we believe of many other
in the State-were its propaganda
not so mistakenly predicated and conducted
with such violence of temper and indiscriminate
abuse of those whom 1t believes to be deserving
of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. News.

Agricultural Lime in Prospect,

The effort on the part of some railway com
panies to resist the freight rate on agricultural
lime recently prescribed by the State corpora
ton commission has failed. and the last barrier
to the distribution among farmers and at small
cost of this valuable promotive agency in agri-
culture will be gratifying to the farming popu-
lation. The courts had already defeated the
effort of some of the big commercial lime cor
p%orations to resist this State production of
agricultural lime, though the directors retained
able counsel and made a strenuous fight in the
courts.
Now that these objections and difficulties In
terposed in the way of this progressive step
have been swept aside, we are hopeful that
the farmers will soon generally avail them
selves of this opportunity to secure and to use
the lime at small cost. Authorities on agri-
culture are convinced that this movement will
tremendously stimulate the growing of grasses
and food for cattle on lands not naturally we'll
adapted to such growth. The section contiguous
to Danville especially ought to profit by this
State provision of agricultural lime at small ex-
pense. Among those who have been most ac-
tive in this movement to promote agriculture Is
Mr.. L. S. Thomas, of Martinsville. who takes a
keen and -intelllgent interest IN the agricultural
development of the State and OF this section

lBy Telegraph 70 The tribune
Easton, Penn. Nov. j.-In the final prac-
tees for the Pittsburgh game It is the de-
fence that has taken most Of the Lafay-
cite football coaches attention This de-
partment Of the game Is decidedly weak.
There has been some Improvement how
ever. and the powerful offence viii TO
some extent Offset this weakness.
Every night this week there has been
a chalk talk for the team. Each man
has thorough knowledge Of the plays
10 be- used against. Pittsburgh, and the
individual part he plays in each.
Every member OF the team IS In the
best OF condition. This is a remarkable
circumstance in the face of the six hard
games which Lafayette has played this
year. The reserve force is also stronger
that It has been tt any previous time
this season.
At quarterback Dannehower is running
the team with a cooler head and is prov
ing more effective in gaining through the
line. Blackburn. who will take Scheerens
place I'm case Of accident 20 the latter. is
making his forward passes with almost
as much accuracy as Scheeren himself.

Providence, Nov. 5.-Despite the reports

here this afternoon.
For fifty minutes the varsity and the

came around the first team had piled up
four touchdowns, the biggest score Of the
season.

DARTMOUTH WORKS TILL
DARK IN LAST DRILL
Squad in Pink of Condition and
Ready for Clash with
the QuakerS.
LBy Telegraph TO The Trihune. !

Hanover. n. H.. Nov 5-The last day
Of football practice at Hanover. prior to
the Pennsylvania game. was finished to-
night at dark, with the best display Of
speed since the week Of the Princeton
game.
All OF the men who are expected to take
part In the game at Philadelphia on
Saturday are In the pink Of condition and
have no excuses 10 make on that score.
Loudon, Whitney, Hogsett, Dunbar and
Chez went through the full amount OF
routine and signal practice to-day with
the other regulars.
The only men who will be missed are
Snow, who is a senior and was playing
the best football OF his career. and Am
brose, who has not sufficiently recovered
10 play on Saturday. lie was tried this
afternoon in signal practice, but could not
show enough TO be of any value 10 the
team.
OF course, these two men are n great
loss 10 the Dartmouth backfeld, but, as II
was expected all along, the coaches have
planned accordingly and have developed
their attack TO meet the situation.
Undoubtedly the trio who will assume
the backaeld positions against Pennsyl-
yanla are Curtis, Whitney and Murdoch.
All three should be IN condition TO show
the best form of the year. Whitney. who
has been about half lame for two weeks,
has fully recovered and to such an eX-
tent that he has regained his old kicking
form. In case Curtis is retired from the
game Whitney will do the punting for
the Green.
The practice to-day, in view OF the fact
that the team leaves tomorrow for New
York, was probably the hardest Of the
year, and consisted OF three ffteen-nn-
ute scrimmaGes, two against the second
team and one against the freshmen. y
great improvement was noticed to-day
at the way the team pulled together on
the defence. There Is a feeling In Hanover
that il the line can stop the charges OF
the Pennsylvania backs that the big
Green team will bring home another VIC
tory.

Test Will Come Against the
Brown Team on Saturday.
KETCHAM AGAIN AT END
Looks Now as if the Blue
Captain Would Be Used in
a Wing Position.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

New Haven, Nov. 5.-After three days
rest the Yale football regulars were in
condition for hard work this afternoon
and took part I'm two vigorous scrim-
images. The play was more spirited than
ii has been for weeks.
Dunn's return to the game has put lots
Of life in the backheld and seems to give
the offence to the drive that has been
lacking. He repeatedly tore through on
centre plunges and smashed at tackle
that Melted the varsity from ten TO fif-
teen yards at a time. With Knowles at
right half and Ainsworth at left the team
showed more power and speed in the
backfed than with any combination that
has been tried. Alec Wilson played quar-
terback and Captain Ketcham again was
at right end.
Wilson's defensive work is too valuable
TO lose. and his shift TO quarter may be
permanent il Dunn's playing against
Brown on Saturday makes him the choice
for fullback in the big games. Wilson
doesn't drive the team in Wheeler's dash
ing style. but lis sure handling Of punts
and running back of kicks, combined with
Ills SltdhN NtltISANt pay may SlN' A'AIii
the call at quarter If he can be spared at
fullback.
Hal Pumpelly is improving fast. but
there is little chance of his playing
against Princeton, unless TO go in for a
try at a field goal. He has only scrim-
mayed three days in five weeks and can
hardly get in condition for strenuous
work before the Harvard game.
The varsity tailed twice against the
freshmen in twenty-minute scrimmage
to-day. Knowles and Wilson scoring.
Wilson grabbed a short forward pass
from Dunn and ran thirty yards for
touchdown. 4 battle with the second
team followed. The varsity scored one
touchdown, and then the scrub took the
ball on the ten-yard line and worked for
half an hour on plays to test the defence
of the regulars.
Pumpelly had an hours drill in goals
from placement and drop kicks. The
coaches rely on him for emergency work
and may send him in TO try field goal
against Brown on Saturday.
The lineup to-day was as follows: Left
end. Avery; left tackle, Talbot; left
guard, Way; centre, Marting; right guard,
Cooney; right tackle, Warren; right end.
Ketcham; quarterback, Wilson; left half,
Ainsworth; right half, Knowles; fullback,
Dunn.

Amherst REGULARS Hammer SCRUB.

lBy Telegraph 10 Inc lIlpuhe'I
Amherst Mass, Nov. 5.-The Amherst
football team spent most of the afternoon
here to-day in a hard practice game with
the strong freshman eleven. Although
the regulars were weakened by the alb
sence Of Captain McGay. who is resting
up with Il leg bruise. and Warren, the
crack halfback, they played fast and hard
scoring three touchdowns.
Cy Hubbard. in his new position as
right half. during the work this after
noon repeatedly ripped through the line
for gains OF more than ten yards. An
other change in the lineup, made necos-
sary through the loss Of Rider. Is the
placing OF Knowlton in at haliback.
The squad has been strengthened IN a
measure by the appearance Of Alex. Rob
inson on the field. Being star twirler OF
the baseball team, the authorities have
been wont 70 keep him out OF the game,
hut injuries to the regulars so close TO
the williams game has made his appear
auCe necessary.
