There are said to be 1884 men
in the city of Richmond who have no!
paid cent toward the support OF
the schools 1t is certain that a large
percentage of that number OF dere-
lict citizens send their children to
the public schools, where they re-
ceive free textbooks and obtain an
education. By failing to pay their
share for the support of the schools
this same 1894 men relieve them
selves of the duty Of voting. With an
approximate polling list of $4,000
people, and a nonvoting list of about
10000, it is evident that the men
who take no interest in public affairs
and who never go to the polls are
largely in the majority.

AUBURN SHOWS WONDERFUL FORM
 AND EASILY WINS
Nothing But Straight Football UsedCoach Donahue Uses En- tire Squad-End Runs of Wren and Prendergast Feat
 ure-Mercer Puts Up Hard Fight

Auburn, November 6.-(Special.) )-Au- burn defeated Mercer 45 to 0 here today in a game which was hard fought, and in which neither side employed anything but straight football. Only four forward passes were attempted, Mercer failing in three and Auburn trying one which Mer- cer intercepted
 Despite the fact that nothing but straight football was used the game was exciting and thrilling because of the ex- cellent runs made by Prendergast and Wren. Prendergast once returned punt for 45 yards and touchdown and also rounded letf end for 4O-yard gain once. Wren made two 40-yard plunges off cen ter, once for touchdown and carrying the ball to Mercer's two-yard line once, but the half ended at this minute and Auburn did not have another play to carry the ball across.
 Mercer fought hard throughout, but never had a chance at any period. She made three first downs, two coming on end runs by Quarterback Swan, who was the star of the Mercer offense.
 Auburn started her regular lineup with the exception of Ducote, Hairston ana Caughman, who witnessed the game from the side lines, but before the game ended they had used every man on the Varsity squad.
 The victory, while not as large as might have been expected, is nevertheless satis- flying to Auburn followers as it was the fifteenth game since Auburn had been scored upon in any manner
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-11-07

It also meant that Auburn is still in the championship fight and will go into the game with Vanderbilt without beinr scored upon this season.
 The feature of the game from an Au- burn viewpoint, aside from the spectacll- far runs by Prendergast and Wren, and the good line backing served by the Auburn fullbacks, was the playing of Baby Taylor who worked one of the best games of this year.
 The lineup and summary follow:
 Auburn-Taylor, left end; Wynne, left tackle; Pricke, left guard; Robinson, center; Thigpen, right guard; Sample right tackle; Bonner, righ tend; Adkins, quarterback; Steed, left halfback; Prem dergast, right halfback; Bidez, fullback.
 Mercer -Hollingsworth, left end; Weak ley, left tackle; Mayo. left guard; Dram, center; Bloodworth, right guard: Gordon, right tackle; Welch, right end; Swan ouarterback Sammons, left haIfback Cochran, right halfback; Dorsey, full back.

 ANOTHER VICTORY
Playing of Captain Barrett the Feature-MauIDetsc. Pounds Line for UrIy
 Michigan Touchdown

Ann Arbor. Mich, November 6.-Bar- rett's great open-field running and ability to crash through Michigan's line at op- perfume moments was an important factor in the 34 to victory which Cornell scored over Michigan here today. Barrett was a team in himself. Michigan could not stop him. The first touchdown required only three plays to complete, after Barrett tossed forward pass to Ecixley early in the first quarter. Barrett carried the ball over on line plunge and then kicked goal. The second touchdown resulted from a straight line attack. Maulbetsch fumbled, Cornell recovered the ball and Collins made the touchdown by smash ing through the Wolverine line. Again Barrett kicked goal
 In the second period Barrett electri- fled the crowd by snaky run of 90 yards after catching punt. An attack just outside the tackles enabled Cornell to sweep % yards to Michigans goal, where Barrett made the score and kicked goal. A Cornell tumble, in Cornell territory, gave Michigan the ball in the third pe- ricd. Cornell found Maulbetsch unstop- pablo and Reiman made the last yard, which resulted in a touchdown. Cochran kicked goal.
 Collins was responsible for both touch- downs in the last period. He carried a. punt back 30 yards to Michigans 15-yard line and Shiverick went over. Shortly afterwards Collins intercepted a forward pass on his own 40-yard line and raced across the gridiron for score. Lineup:
 Michigan-Benton, left end; Watson, left tackle; Reiman, left guard; Nieman. center; Cochran (captain), right guard; Norton, right tackle; Staatz, right end; Roehm, quarterback: Maulbetsch, left halfbacl1; Catlett, right halfback; Smith, fullback.

LONE TOUCHDOWN
 DOWNS ARMY ELEVEN

West Point, N. Y., November 6.--The Army lost to Notre Dame today, to O, in a hard fought game. The Army showed a weak offense and none of the cadet backs could gain consistently through the Notre Dame line except Oli- phant. who played his usual star game.
 Notre Dame missed three attempts at field goals.
 The nearest the Army came to scoring was in the last quarter when Oliphant heeled a catch on Notre Dame's 46-yard line and tried a goal from placement Tn a strong wind the kick was an inch short, the ball striking the cross bar.
 The visitors scored in the last few min- utes of play. Securing the ball at mid field they rushed to striking distance and long forward pass gave them the touchdown.

 Touchdown

New Haven, November GA neat field goal from the 22-yard line by Captain Andrews in the third quarter gave Brown it's second victory over Yale in 9 years today, the score being to 0. It was this season for Yale.
 Brown assumed the offensive for the greater part of the contest, but Yale presented a stiff defense at critical junc- lures.
 Yale started off with rush. making 60 yards but when near the goal line the attack faltered and Yale surrendered the ball on downs on the six-yard line. That was the only time Browns goal was threatened.
 Yales defense showed considerable in- provement over previous games, especial ly in diagnosing the forward pass
