Gated at the old Columbia Golf Club

The University of Virginia basket
ball team comes here this afternoon
for a two-day visit, being booked to
meet the quints representing George
Washington University and Catholic
University. The Charlottesville five
opposes the Hatchetites tonight at $50
o'clock. at the Y. NJ. c. A., and tomor-
row night faces the Brooklanders at
the same time at the Arcade.
The Virginia team is playing well
now, though it started it's season in
rather poor form. Just what it Will
accomplish against the two local uni
versities is hard to foretell, though
forecast based on what has been done
by the three ;quints would indicate
victory over George Washington, and
close, hard contest tomorrow with c.
u, which will not be as strong as
at Charlottesville.
The Virginia team went to Annapo-
lis yesterday and lost to the Navy in

half was a revelation. it finishing the
period just two points to the good.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. February
24.-A slight departure has been made
in the athletic policy governing the
Virginia base ball coaching for the
coming season. Jack Ryan. who has
coached the team for several years
but not for the accustomed length of
time. Heretofore the veteran backstop
has been in active charge OF tho Vir-
ginians until they started on their
final trip north for games with eastern
mines: This year the General Athletic
Association has thought it best to use
the services of Ryan only while the
Nationals are training in Charlottes-
vile.
Capt White of the base ball team.
who also il member of. the basket
ball team. will be in Washington with
the latter aggregation during the week
and will see Coach Ryan at that time
and complete the arrangements. mas
much as Coach Ryan will not remain
longer than the Nationals, Capt. White
has thought 1t best to get him to Char
Ilottesville as soon as possible and will
squad by next week.
Capt. White to Run Team.
After the departure of Coach Ryan
which will be shortly after the Vir-
ginia collegiate schedule starts, the
team will be in the hands Of Capt
White during the games. Pop Lanigan
will have charge of the men as usual.
Capt White has proved himself an
admirable leader, and the plan should
prove successful. The idea of the Gen.
eral Athletic Association in this mat
ter conforms with the rest of their
policies in athletics, which is to have
university athletics in the hands of
university agencies as much as pos
sible. 1t also is in keeping with many
other university mines, notably IN the
east. where in the larger games the
captains are in full control of their
teams on the field.
Frank Cannon, for the past three
seasons one of the varsity boxmen for
Virginia, has been selected to coach
the first year base ball team this sea-
son. The star southpaw has seen four
years of service on the Virginia team
and is ineligible this year. The first
year base ball team was started last
year and was coached by Dave Grant,
another portsider, who had served four
seasons on the mound. The organiza-
ton of first year team came as a re-
suit of the adoption by Virginia OF the
first year athletic rule.

Death Record of a Monster Wave.

The greatest waves-apart from tbs
true earthquake wave-are those caus-
ed by tornadoes or circular storms. In
such storm the barometer may be
lower by three inches in the center OF
the storm than at its edge.
The consequence of this tremendous
reduction of pressure is that the sea in
the vortex rises high above the usual
level and in this way are produced
waves of appalling size and height.
1t was wave of this type which,
in the dreadful tornado of 1876, swept
upon the mouth of the Gauges and
drove in over an area the size of Dew
onshire. BY marks upon the trees it
was ascertained that this great wall
of salt water rolled in forty-five feet
high. The damage done was appalling,
and more than 100000 unfortunate ma
tives were drowned. London Times.
