Gossip
Virginia and Carolina Are Preparing For
Contest Here Thanksgiving Day.

Sidney outfits battle This contest is
the most crucial one of the season IN
the Eastern Virginia championship
race and the eleven that wins will
rave only few points to spare. The
only game that the Tigers have lost
, this season in the league was won
by the Ashlanders. and the Farmville
gridironists are anxious for revenge.
Both elevens will be accompanied to
the Hill City by members of the stu
dent body.
Now that the football season is
drawing to a close. basketball is al
ready being discussed. From present
indications this will be the most sue
cessful season In basketball Richmond
has ever known. The winter pastima
was not very well thought of here
some years back, but since the Rich
mond Amateur Athletic Federation
took hold OF the situation it has stead
lily grown a favorite. There will be
four leagues this year under the
protection Of the r. A. A. f., and
all OF the organizations will be OF the
same classification. The champion
ship of the city will be decided l,y
elimination process The leagues will
start this year in December.
Virginia League moguls will gather
In Norfolk next Thursday night or
the purpose OF electing a successor
to President Boatwright. and TO dis
pose of the Petersburg franchise. Just
who will take Mr.. Boatwright's
place at the head OF the organiza :
ton is not known, there being sew
erai candidates for the ONCE. The
Danville man will not stand for re-
election.
Hopewell will, in all probability. get
the Cockade City franchise. Some
prominent residents OF the mushroom
city are behind the movement. and
they will attend the meeting The
new town would doubtless support
the club. and 1t would not be an I'M

transferred to that place.

Athletic

Attention of football enthusiasts
Throughout Virginia and North Car
DINA will shortly be focused on the
annual gridiron struggle Of the
Orange and Blue and Doggy
Trenchard's proteges from the Old
North State. Despite the fact that
th;rgs did not look so well for the
aIheeis some time ago, indications
now point to a close and hotly con-
tested exhibition OF the fan pastime.
In 1905 the Down Homers made
their annual pilgrimage to kich-
mond and succeeded In burying the
Orange and Blue colors beneath the
sod In Broad-Stree Park. Since that
time, however. Virginia has never
sustained a defeat at the hands of
those Tarhelis. and their efforts to re-
pulse the Charlottesville cohorts have
been futile. This year the Caro-
linians are destined TO win. They adj
NIT it themselves
Those who have followed the games
between the two elevens this year
will lose no time in picking the Vir-
sinians to win, but those loyal Caro-
lin.ans will not have 1t that way. They
are banking their hopes on Doggy
Trenchard's ability as football
coach He said he would give the
Chapel Hill institution team snat
world beat Virginia within three
years duration. Two years have
passed and they have failed utterly In
their attempts to humiliate the Old
Dominion eleven. The Caroiinians
and virginians have twice met since
Trenchard took over the coaching
-cins at Chapel Hill, and on as many
occasions have the Down Homers
jon, eyed back to the Old North
State defeated eleven.
VIII Doggy Trenchard realize his
aspiration? This Is the question that
is confronting the supporters OF both
legions. He may, but in our opinion
It is hardly probable.
Both teams will come to Richmond
next week well primed for action,
and the best game In ten years be-
tween the two elevens should be wit
messed.
A q result Of Richmond Colleges

While the Orange and Blue team

outfit, one never can tell what those
fighting Tarheeis will spring, and no
one is anticipating a one-sided game
as has been seen here for the past
Few years. For the past three years
the Carolinians have been showing
Improvement, and this year they
should prove worthy foe of the
Charlottesville eleven.
Virginia is not looking for a walk
over. and unless the eleven shows the
form it displayed against Yale, Har-
ward and Vanderbilt. the score in
liable to be close one. The Tarheeis
are hopeful of turning the tables on
their Virginia opponents this year.
They made very poor showing dur
ing the first part OF the season. but
they have been showing Improvement
lately. and Coach. Doggy" Trenchard
says his proteges will be in the pink
OF condition for the game.
Coach Trenchard will hold moth.
ing but secret practices from now
until Thanksgiving Day. and not even
members of the student body will be
admitted. While the Carolina grid
irorists are chasing the pigskin
around on Chapel Hill the leather
iunged students are busily engaged In
practieing new yelis and songs, and,
getting their vocal cords
in fine shape for Turkey Day.
As usual all of the barber shops
and stores In the Tarheel State Will
be closed for the day and the loyal
Down-H omers will journey up hero
to see their eleven face the Char

ways sends a large delegation to Rich
mond each THANKSGIVING Day, and
this year will be no exception.

for Lassen Peak almost over night has
taken its place in the front ranks Of the
great active volcanoes of the world. There
are, Of course, thousands Of dormant and
extinct volcanoes In the world. Every
country, continent or island which pro
fesses to be anything at all owns one. But
the roll of active volcanoes can be quickly
called.
The principal ones are vesuvius, in Italy,

boil, on one of the Lipari islands, 5000

In America there are several low volca-
noes on the -Aleutian Islands. two large
ones in Mexico, two in Guatemala, one In
Salvador. Mt Pelee, on the Island of Mar
Unique; cotopaxi, in Ecuador, 1880 feet
high, and one each In Patagonia and Terra

arctic continent.
In the midPacihc there are two volca-
noes on the Hawaiian Islands-Mauna Loa,
1880 feet high. and not far away Kilauea,
1000 feet high. There are Q few incon-

islands. In Japan there are two. Formosa
