through the student publication. "The
Critograph." are appealing to former
students to aid them In securing the
necessary change in the bylaws.
The last issue OF The Critograph"
contains the following editorial rela-
tive to the adoption Of football as a
college sport for the future:
TN the last issue OF the Critograph
there was an article treating the foot
ball condition at Virginia Christian
College at length. giving the growing
tendency among the college support
ers for the gridiron game. and since
that time, II Is gratifying that DR..
Hundley. president of the college. has
announced that he favors Virginia
Christian College having a football
team next year, II temporal conditions
permit. The board OF trustees will
doubtless concur with the president
in bis decision, and we hope that the
clause in the college bylaws prohibit
ing football will be stricken out.
Now that there is offlcial encour.
agement for football here next season
the next step is for the local Athletic
Association to be on the lookout for
a first -class coach. such one as will
put the v. c. c. team in the run
ming. A manager for next years team
will soon be elected, no doubt, and
he will be In position to actively plan
and work out the details OF next years
football program, subject of course,
to cancellation should the board Of
trustees by any chance or other re-
fuse to allow II.
Announcement will be made later
concerning the action of the Virginia
Christian College Athletic Association
in following up the opening made By
President Hundley for this college to
send forth it's football warriors next
season.
Now that the student body. the
faculty. and the president of the coll
iege are lined up almost solidly for
football we should he very glad to
hear from some of the alumni as to
what they thing OF introducing foot
ball into their alma mater. The edi-
tors OF the Critograph shall he glad
to receive any information from mem
hers as well as officers OF the Alumni
Association concerning their attitude

VIRGINIA WILL AGAIN
MEET NORTH CAROLINA
Contract Which Expired Thanksgiving Day Will Be Renewed
Orange and Blue Will Again Battle Yale Bulldogs
and Harvard Crimson Next Season.

That the contract between the
Universities of Virginia and North
Carolina. which expired last Thanks
giving Day, will be again renewed,
according to the schedule which was
issued last night by the Charlottes-
vile athletic authorities. Some be-
lieved that at the expiration OF the
contract Virginia would not again
sign it. but take on some other eleven
here Thanksgiving instead OF the
Tarheel aggregation. However. con-
sidering everything, Carolina is about
as good team as could possibly be
brought here, from a financial stand
point. Each year large number of
Caroinians journey UP TO the Old Do
minion to witness the annual struggle
between the Down-Homers and Vir-
ginians. and had the Orange and Blite
deemed it advisable to discontinue this
annual Turkey Day game here, their
money would be missed when the gate
receipts are counted.
Nirginia's schedule this year Is
practically the same at last season,
although some Of the dates are chang
ed considera bly,. The Charlottesville
warriors will meet Randolph Macon
fret, and then journey to New Haven
To battle the Yale Bulldogs. Rich-
mond College. Georgia and Virginia
Military Institute will then go to
Charlottesville In succession.

be seen in action again on Lambeth

Academy to Have
Good Track Team
Again This Year

Although there are but two letter
men back at the Richmond Academy
this year. the Orange and Blue track
team is expected to be as good as
those of previous years. The only old
ones back are Spencer and Hill, but
the other new men and those who
substituted last season are practicing
hard, and they give promise of deveI-
oping into stars.
The Academy boys will get down
to real hard work within the next
few days, and they promise to give
the other prep school contenders a
hard run for the silver trophy this
year. 1t must be remembered that
the Academy has always given John
Marshall hard run for the cup. and
the Orange and Blue boys are ex-
pected TO do even better this year.

Following the announcement In The
Firginian Sunday to the effect that
there is probability Of Carolina
changing i,s football system. there
has been considerable discussion OF
the subject throughout the Old Do
minion and the Tarheel state.
Az WAS stated In this paper, the
Down Homers will change from the
Princeton TO the Harvard system, and
exert every effort TO get Eddie Ma
han, the Crimson's star backfleld man
and captain. to act in 't(ie capacity of
head coach At Chanel Hill. Although
1t IL a known fac, that Mahan has
turned down several fattering offers
TO coach within the past few weeks.
the call OF the gridiron may he too
strong for him. ana there IL still a
chance OF him accepting the Tar
heels offer in the event they tender
him one.

aioh at the North Carolina ins. itu-
ton know that something will have
to be done II they can hope to make

this year IL was an utter failure. The
Down Homers had very poor sea-
son, and the only times they showed
any real fight was against Davidson
College and Virginia, the two flaal
games of the season.
Followers of the gridiroi In the
South cannot understand why Caro-
lima. with it's expensive corps OF
coaches. has not made better head
way on the gridiron Members OF
the athletic committee are wonder
ing at the same thing. The members
realize that something has to be done
The matter will he thoroughly dis-
cussed at meeting which will he
held early next year.
Just who will coach Virginia next
season Is still matter Of conjecture
but three are being considered for
the job. DIR. Warner will not be back
with the Orange and Blue warriors
next season. and Ii will be a hard
task for the athletic heads at the
University OF Virginia to select man
that will prove worthy successor
to the man who turned out a team
that lost only one game during the
season, and that to the Harvard Grim
son.
There are three who are being con-
sidered for the position. they being

OF $4,000 OF BONDS

DOVER, Del, March Representa-
tive Webster's bill. providing for the. re-
building by New Castle county Of the
Philadelphia turnpike between the
Pennsylvania line and Wilmington. was
passed by the House yesterday after
noon by a vote of 10 yeas TO 10 nays.
The original bill provided for the
county to borrow the sum Of $4,000
for this purpose. but the substitute re-
duced the amount TO S7j 600. and the
Governor is TO appoint commission OF
three members 90 supervise building of
the road. The bonds arc to be issued by
the New Castle County Levy Court.
Many prominent residents 'Milming-
ton and rural New Castle county advo-
Gated the bill. Among those in the dele
cation in the House advocating the

Colonel Frank d. Lachcy, James Me-
harc, William Foord, Frank J. Williams,
Ernest ;. Taite, Daniel p. Buckley,
Harry Graham and DR.. J.. Heislcr Rail-.
OF Wilmington and vicinity, and James
a. Mckelyey. Of Newark.
Mr.. Marvel was granted privilege OF
the floor and spoke for the bill. lie
stated that at present the Philadelphia
turnpike is the worst stretch OF road
between Boston and Washington, and he
thought from an advertising standpoint
it would be a great thing to put tho road
IN good shape. there being so mucl
travel over it. lie said it was tn,
gateway to Wilmington and 10 Dcla
ware.
Representative Bender spoke against
the bill on the ground that the count
has already gone too far in debt fol
good roads, and he believed no NOR,
bonds should be used for two years al

Representatives Elliott, Hall an,
Downward spoke for the bill. Mr.
Downward contendcd that it would b.
cheaper for the county to pay interes
on the $4,000 of bonds than il il 1,
keep the road up in its present condi
