folk. have all paled before the brill

YALE'S vIcT0Rs ARE HEROES
Brilliant Work Of Ends Is Prin-
cipaIIy Responsible for Old
EIi's Reverses Saturday.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va. Oct. a.
The most popular song In Charlottes-
willie Saturday night was the old es-
tablished Harvard one Of: And now
we'll lick old Yale" while the parades
and bonfires that enlivened the street
Of this ordinarily duh little hamlet
spoke we'll for the surprise and en-
thusiasm with which Virginia received
the news Of her unexpected victory
over Yale.
The cause for this victory. according
to students Of football here. was the
very thing which had previously been
diagnosed as an indication OF exceeding
weakness here. to wit: the shifting OF
Ward and Stillwell. heavy tackles. to
end. This shift was the only thing
that could have broken UP the lateral
pass which Yale has used 30 success
fully In the past.
As they usually play. the end is sup
posed to get the man with the ball. In
a lateral pass 1t Is impossible for an
end to do this. as the ball is passed
from man to man as they are tackled.
But when the end is a big hefty fellow
who can rush In the play and tumble
with the ball. and so the pass will fail
of its object
Thus It happened that Ward. weigh
ing g12, and Stillwel, of quite a heavy
displacement. were better ends on the
Charlottesville team than would have
been White and Flanagan, who did
not get into the game. SO 1t Is seen
that the strategy OF Coach Harry Var
ner was successful.
Popular heroes in this city today are
Harris Coleman. captain, who scored
the touchdown on the Ellis. and Thur.
man. whose booting kept the Bulldogs
away from Virginia's goal posts. and
who also booted a pretty drop across
the Eli standard. When they arrived
nt Charlottesville yesterday they were
greeted by almost the entire student
body. and carried from the station on

Steam Saw Mill Burned.

The building and wood parts of Bingham
Brothers steam saw mill on Stratton hill
were destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon.
The damage is estimated at $500. There
was no insurance. The cause of the fire is
unknown
The mill was used Saturday afternoon
until about 4 O'Clock, when the fire was
banked and the floor swept as usual. Early
Sunday afternoon II. c. Bingham started
for Stratton Hill to re-bank the fire. As he
approached the mill he saw too much
smoke rising and soon found that the
building was on fire. At first the heat
seemed too intense to allow him to get
buckets from inside the mill. He finally
secured one and by working hard and
slong, carrying water, saved most OF the
IRON and steel portions in disable condi
ton Comparatively few embers fell from
above as the roof was of iron.
bingham Brothers plan to move the ma
chinery from the hill to their water mill,
near this village, and make repairs as
speedily as possible. They hope to be
ready for custom saving again within a
week or 10 days. The mill on the hin will
not be rebuilt until spring.
