WON'T ENDORSE PLAN OF
CONTINENTAL ARMY

San Francisco. Cal, Nov li.---Sen-
ator Boies Penrose, OF Pennsylvania,
gave his pledge TO the National Guard
Association of the United States today
at the convention here OF that organi-
cation to stand by the organized
militia at the next session OF Con-
gress. He said that in his opinion the
United States should have the greatest
navy in the world and went on record
as fayoring a Federal military and
naval academy like West Point and
Annapolis maintained on the Pacific
coast.
The Senator's address seemed TO
strengthen the evident intention OF
the convention not TO endorse in any
maner Presidet Wilso's proposed con-
tinental army" of trained citizens
and 1t Is believed more than probable
that the convention will tomorrow act
adversely on the continental army
idea.

Things didn't always move for the
youthful Bohemian. He came to this
country as accompanist for Jan ku-
beiik the violinist. and at the close
or the tour, when Kubelik sailed for
home as quickly as he could, Friml
thought he detected better oppor
tuntty for his talents in this country
than at home, so he remained. But
there were stormy days ahead. No
body doubted that he was a youngster
of pronounced talents. His compost
lions were published--he has had two
big ballots performed In European
opera houses-but there wasn't a big
enough demand for his product to pro-
mote him to whore he could sec Easy

exactly a congenial atmosphere for
creative work. Tut Frtml realized that
1t was his chance, the chance of life
time. so, he rented room and set to
work. He had many scraps in his
notebooks that he had jotted down
during lean days in and
elsewhere. He added many more and
worked over the old ones, working
diligently day and night. Rehearsals
were started and Hammerstein was
pleased enough with what he heard
to place the composer under contract
for term OF years. THE FREELY
justified him in his prophecies. 1t
was musical comedy that rose al
most TO the heights of opera comque
after which the shedding was easy for
him.

The above statistics will show what
Virginia Military Institute and Glenn
son College, which elevens will battle
at Broad-Street Park tomorrow after
noon. have. been doing during this
season.
The Cadets have played six games
UP to the present time. winning four
of them, losing one and battling to a
S-3 standstill in another. Two of the
soldiers victories were shutout ones,
while Virginia Is the only eleven
against which the Cadets have failed
to score this season. The Lexington
gridironistx have won from Hampden-
Sidney. Gallaudet. Richmond College
and Wake Forest. while the game with
Carolina resulted in a tie. Virginia
won from the Cadets by count OF
~ TO 0. However. In justice to the
Lexington boys. 1t should be said that
they had much patched up team
when they went up against the Orange
ana Blue. At least i've of the regulars

Clemson has had a hard schedule
80 far. and out OF the six games
played, tho eleven has won three. lost

to be tho best in the South. with the
possible exception Of Virginia, only

E1eveus Evenly Matched.
The only team played by both V.
NJ L. and Clemson this season Is Caro-
lina, and X comparative scores count
for anything. the two eievens are about
~ evenly matched as any two elevens
could possibly be. v. NJ, /. played
Carolina 20 3-3 score. while the
Tarheel warriors got a to Z verdict
over the South Carolinians
Last year Clemson was almost en-
tirely unknown in Richmond. and con-
seouAntiy the crowd at the local park
was not az large as II might have
been. This year the conditions are
different and from present indications
there will be capacity crowd to
witness the setto. Last year the teams
lost money on the game, but from
the way the tickets are being dis
posed OF. II ts hardly probable that
there will be repetition of this. The
V NJ l. graduates in Richmond who
are making arrangements for the
game are very optimistic over he
outlook, Last season the South caro-
unians demonstrated beyond shad-
ow Of a doubt that they have one of
the best teams in the South and that
they are worthy foes OF the Virginia
cadets.
Both squads are due TO arrive In
Richmond late this afternoon. The
cadets will proba bly, be- quartered at
The Country Club Of Virginia, while
Clemson will doubtless stay al one of
the local hotels.

READY FOR FIGHT
However. Orange and Blue Is Not An
ticipating Waikover With
South Carolinians.

Charlottesville. Va. Nov. IL
Realizing that Virginia Saturday will
so up against team that has not
tasted defeat this season. Head Coach
Warner today put his wards through
q stiff practice. which did not con-
clude until dark. Every regular was
in uniform save Tippett, who was
called to Baltimore
kemper Yancey again sent the
backs through IA long drill in block
Ing and tackling, following which the
varsity was lined UP for shadow
work against Team c. running South
Carolina plays. The Game Cocks, as
the South Carolinians are called. are
said to have a varied attack, relying
especially upon the forward pass. II
is against this aerial attack that the
Virginia backs are now being drilled.
In the daily punting and drop kick
ing practice, White showed marked
Improvement in landing field goals,
being more successful in his tries to-
day than Thurman.
The work dreaded most by the
players today was the tackling prac-
tice. Tacklers were stationed on
every ten-yaFd marx ON tnt SIluHoh
and each player had TO run the gaunt-
let, carrying the ball. A dozen spills
for each man frequently resulted.
Coaches McGuigin and Manner. of
Vanderbilt. in a signed statement in
a Nashville paper, say:
we had no chance to beat Viz
GINA this year--that is. Virginia on
edge We met her beyond question
at the very top of her stride, 81
