DEMAND
Street
rights

The matter Of granting q new
franchise TO the traction COM
pany TO supply steam TO build
ings in the business district
from its plant on Railroad ave.
went over two weeks Friday.
after lengthy consideration by
the council franchise commit
tee, singered by spicy speeches.
The council 10 inclined not
TO grant the franchise unless
the traction company grants the
city eommon-user rights on its
car tracks, so the ends u the
municipal lines may be connect
ed and made to pay.
With the exception OF one speak
er. Judge Thomas Burke, all present
favored this plan.
Councilman Lundy flayed that
part OF the press which is attacking
municipal ownership and ridiculing
the city's car lines.
Blames the Newspapers
''If the city has 10 spend half
million dollars connecting the two
ends OF the municipal lines, the
blame should lie at the door OF the
press which is attacking municipal
ownership and the traction COM
pany. in refusing to grant common
user rights" he declared.
Judge Thomas Burke, defending
the Traction Co.'S steam service.
said II was fine to have his office
nice and warm when he comes
down In the morning. but Carl
Ewald. OF the Commercial Club.
said any other boiler could gener-
ate steam just as good.
True Uncapher, of the Lake
Burien Improvement club, said
that whereas the S. L. Co. is ask
ing valuable concessions from the
city, Il is the councils duty to see
that the city gets valuable remun-
Grafton.
Wants Club Removed
A letter from City Light Super
intendent Ross urged some pro-
vision be made so the Traction
Co.'S steam service cannot be held
as a club over the city light plant.
At present II Is the practice OF
the Traction Co. to install steam
service and then force steam pa
irons TO use its lights on pain OF
having the steam service removed.
Councilman Erickson: II don't
think the company should have the
effrontery to ask a renewal for
nothing. II has a valuable prop
erty In our streets and We have
right TO ask something in return"
This Sounds Reasonable
l.. c. Brown (of the Commercial
Club; Lake Burien property own
err: IF municipal ownership. as
the Traction Co. contends, has al
ways been a failure. this is a mag
nificent opportunity for the CON-
pany to prove II by giving the
city a chance TO connect the two
divisions OF the municipal lines. IL
this would prove their contentious.
why does the company oppose it?
An opinion was read from Corpo-
ration Counsel Bradford, saying
the company has no right 10 main
tain feeder steam pipes In the
streets without a grant from the
city. and advising radical changes
in the terms of the new franchise
II II is granted. so the company
will not WELD so much power.

Arthur c. Miles, Of Colorado, class OF

football team for the season of 1915, to
succeed Harvey 3. Oyeresch, of Indiana,

approval He is a good general, very
capable in carrying the ball, and viii

Miles Is one Of the star men Of his
class In scholastic work, thus indicating
that athletics have not interfered with
his studies.

Prof. Nathaniel N. Terry, formerly head
of the department OF physics and chem

of Recovery and Passes Reason

monia in the Hotel Somerset DR.. J. ].
Herrity, the physician In charge, an
nounced tonight that Evers had had a
reasonably comfortable day and that he
hoped the infection could be confined to
the left lung. where IT started.
"Evers is making a game fiSht' said
DR.. Herrity. He is suffering considerable
pain, but pluclkily refuses to take any
thing to deaden IT. He wants to save all
his strength and breads the reaction from
any antidotes. This increases his chance
Of recovery. Every pain killing drug
has tendency TO weaken the general
resistance Of the system and Evers knows
this. AS we watch him bravely denying
the pain and the discomfort of the fever
he seems TO be fighting with the same
gameness that has made him famous on
the bail field. *
Therefore, although Of course a pa
tient with pneumonia can never be- pro-
nounced out Of danger until the crisis
has passed and returning strength has
eliminated the danger OF relapse, I feel
safe in prophesying that Evers will be
as good as ever when the training season

/. In selecting an All-South Atlantic
team the writer is not going to allow
his personal feelings to interfere In any
way. shape or manner with the men hs
Is to place on the teams which have
been named above. He Is going TO use
his very best Judgment and give good
reason why certain men should be
chosen over others. It is an impossi-
bility. however. to please all. but
nevertheless, believe that the major
ity OF the cities throughout The South
will favor my selection when every
thing is considered.
have been asked by several persons
to tell the best team of the year. This
Is an exceedingly hard question to an
swer, and TO be fair. believe that 1t Is
an impossible question TO answer. OF
course Il Is true that Virginia or Wash
ing and Lee failed to lose a game In
the South during the past fall. The
Virginia supporters will contend that
Virginia had the best team. while the
Washington and Lee supporters will dc
likewise
Personally, 1 believe that either OF
the above teams would have hard work
in defeating Georgetown during the lat
ter part Of the year.
Did Not Play Georgetown.
IL Is true that washington ana Lee
defeated Georgetown early in the season
when Georgetown was not at its best
Even in that game. which / was for
tunate to witness, Washington and Lee
did by no means Outplay Georgetown.
II was an evenly matched affair. de-
spite the score.
In my judgment, with every point con-
sidered. I do not believe that either Vir-
ginia or Washington and Lee should be
awarded the championship. Since both
teams were not defeated, and since these
two leading Virginia schools do not meet
I would state that no. championship
should be awarded since these two crack
teams could not get together.
/ do not believe in taking scores into
consideration. Virginia did defeat
Swarthmore by a larger score than
Washington and Lee, but Washington
and Lee did not place her strongest team
on the field when the Swarthmore team
was met, simply because her best men
were not in shape. Then there are GER
tain elements which enter one game that
never occur in another, such as a fum-
BILE at a critical point.
In selecting the ends / believe that
MacDougan and Seifert, Of A. and NJ.
The Washington herald., 1914-12-13

were by far the best men OF the year
In MacDougaIl A. and N. has one Of the
best ends in the country. He would be
a star on any Of the big teams. In the
FIRST place. he is a big, powerful lad.
weighing $50 pounds, and is the fastest
man on the team. No quarter back was
able to return a punt on him all year.
and no half back has been able to get
by him all season. He is a glutton for
work. never firing.
Seifert, his running mate, has not been
taken out Of the game once this year.
On the offense he can't be equalled- He
gets his man every time. Besides being
fast In covering kicks. he is a wonder
on the receiving end OF the forward pass.
Homewood. of North Carolina, and
Simms, Of Washington and Lee, are the
next best men. Both OF these are capable
in every respect This was Simms' first
year as an end. for, during the season Of
1913. he played halfback on West NiT-
ginia Wesleyan, and It is said that he is
an exceptionally good man behind the
line. H'
am told that both Foltz and Marshall.
OF Gallaudet. are good performers. but
was unfortunate In not seeing them play.
However. believe they deserve honorable
mention.
SchultE for Tackle.
Schultz. the captain of the Washington
and Lee team for next year, is by far
the best tackle of the year. SchultZe is
a giant weighing over 200 pounds, and
is considered by some critics as AI-Amer-
lean calibre.
For big man he is exceptionally fast,
getting down the field with the ends on
punts, he makes most Of his, tackles, On
the defense he can use his hands Ito
perfection, and 1t is next TO impossible
TO run anything through him. He has
heen used a great deal on the receiving
end OF forward passes, because Of his
height.
Tom Gormley, Of Georgetown, played a
hard. consistent game all year, and -
awarded right tackle. Besides being a
great defensive player, he is a good man
running with the ball. Gormley will be
"a great help to Georgetown next fall.
and will prove himself to be the best
tackle Georgetown has ever had. warrl.
OF Georgetown, and Moore, of V. p. l.,
played well all season. Never starring.
both OF these men proved dependable in
every respect.
Other good tackles were Winston, O..
