ONE VIRGINIA TEAM
OUTSIDE Of STATE
minton with Exception of
Hampton sidney.

Only ono Virginia college eleven will
be found outside of the Old Dominion
next Saturday afternoon. Hampton
Sidney will Journey to Washington
to meet George Washington Univsr-
sity. while all of the other State out
fits will remain in Virginia.
The biggest game In Virginia Sat
urday. and probably in the South. Is
the battle between Washington and
Lee and Washington and Jefferson, of
Washin gton, Pa. at Broad-Street Park
in Richmond. This game Is attracting
considerable attention and tho advance
sale Of seats indicates that one OF the
largest crowds that ever attended
gridiron clash in Richmond will be
present Although the w. and J. out
fit has been vanquishing some of the
largest teams in the country during
the past few years, Coach logger
Elcook believes that his Generals stand
an even chance of getting verdict
over the Pennsylvanians. However.
the game is expected to be q close
one.
The next largest encounter In that
between Virginia and Virginia Mill
tary Institute at Charlottesville. This
game should also be close one. While
virginia is anticipating Victory over
the Lexington soldier boys. Coach Cor
ton, of V. NJ. l.. announces that he
may have a little surprise package 70

form of a defeat. Gorton had a great
football team, despite the fact that
It Is very light. and the teams can be
expected to make a good showing. even
though It fails TO lick the Charlottes-
willie gridironlsts.
Then comes the V. p. H-Roanoke
game, which will be played in the
Magic City. As v. P I has been
moving down the opposing elevens
with apparent ease this season, II
should be walkover for tho Techs.
However. Roanoke has a fairly good

scoring, although on two occasions in
this last quarter, the Blackstone boys
got within striking distance Of the goal
line. Once they failed to make four
yards In as many attempts and the
ball went over to John Marshall on
the courtyard line, and few minutes
later the game ended in the same posi-
ton with the the ball in Blackstone's
posse ssion. On both occasions. the
Marshallites line held like 1t never
held before. despite the fact that 1t
was sprinkled with substitutes. Coach
Burruss having run in several during
the closing minutes of play.
In the second quarter Devine inter
cepted a forward pass and sprinted
forty five yards. being downed by
Bruce on the tweive-yard line. but the
eagle eye of Head Lnesman Miles
had seen Marshallite offside, and
the boys were called back and PEN
allied five yards. On another oc-
casion In the first half John Marshall
carried the ball as far as the one
yard line only to be caught back on
the next play and the ball went owe
TO Blackstone on the six-yard line,
Another time John Marshall started
march down the field, and just as
they reached the thirty-yard line the
leather slipped from the grasp OF one
of the over anxious youngsters only to
have one OF the Blackstone gridiron
warriors TO pounce upon it.
AS we have remarked before
Blackstone put up a plucky game
throughout, and until that fsteful last
half it looked as If they had an even
chance Of emerging victorious. But
that old unlucky thirteen had to be
brought into play.
i, would be hard to pick out an
individual star from the John Mar

up a nice game. while the runs of

""SPEED" ELLIOTT WILL
HELP COACH VIRGINIA
Former Orange and Blue and Who Was Head Coach Four
Years Ago Arrives From Missouri Home and Joins
Coaching Squad Anticipating Hard
Game Saturday.

But one more game remains on the
Virginia schedule before annual COM
sha.-Hith the University 81 North Car
DINA in Richmond on Turkey Day.
That game is with Virginia Military
Institute next Saturday afternoon on
lambeth Field. in Charlottesville, and
the coaches consider it one OF the
hardest contests Of tho season because
of the formidable showing the Cadets
have been making on the gridiron this
fall.

day the Virginia Cadets won out over
the former eleven by a score or 81
TO T. Saturday the Orange and Blue
forces won out over the University OF
South Carolina by score OF 80 TO &.
If comparative scores count for any
thing the Cadets have the edge on Nir-
stnia. However. 1t must be remem-
bered that several OF Virginia's regu-
Aars were out OF the lineup Saturday
during the entire game. while in the
second half practically the entire
scrub team was on the field opposing
the Palmetto State aggregation. Had
the regulars remained in the game.
the Orange and Blue team would
doubtless have hung UP several more
touchdowns on the visiting eleven.
Team Minus Regulars.
The best team that Virginia put on
the field was minus white and OAR

The more signal the service
rendered the people by any act
of President Wilson, the mo e
bitter the attacks on him by
Republican papers.
He kept the country out of
war. How they abuse his
method of doing it;
He Settled the s'rllee situation
by the firm aoherance to the
simple right, How Republican
editors rave over his method of
doing it. Heretofore their 'slo-
gan of criticism has been "words
not deeds"j but now when his
words are few and his action
prompt they are even more vo-
cifelous in their abuse.
Unhappy is the lot of Repub-
.ican editors under the Wilson
ad inistration; in every case,
to AVOID palpa6Ie folly, they are
forced to the tact admission
that eithef lis action was right
while his method only was
wrong, Or his method was right
and his action wrong

Railroad Chiefs
Not OPPOSED to
Eight Hour Day

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept 49,
"The railroad chiefs of the
country were not opposed to the
eight-hour day, contrary to the
opinion that has prevailed
vailed throughout the country -
said President F. D. Underwood,
of the Erie railroad, at Milwau-
ke'4 for the state fair, in an in
terview in the Milwaukee Jour-
nal today.
"There is a general feeling
that the eight-h0ur day is com
ing ana nc doubt 1t will come
and il ought to CONG"
THE eight hour day law will
cost the Erie railroae $1,000, 900
a year. l do not believe any
additional legislation is needed
by congress on this question. "
"The Interstate Commerce
commission can take care of
the raise In rates if any should
he needed. Congress has set up
the Inter- tate Commerce Com
mis- ion to take care of railroad
MATTERS. If the commission
could take care OF both wages
and rates there would be no Oh
lection, because the commission
is unquesLionably honest and
capable.
Mr. Wilson, however is not
playing politics. He was doing
whal he believed was for the
good Of the country.
"NOOne could associate with
Mr.. Wilson, as The railroad men
of the country did during these
negotiations, and charge Mr..
Wilson with playing politics in
any way. Only some news
papers charged the president
working for political effect"

Emmett Patton,
Register.
Sept. l5.oet. rs

In consideration of the state
ments made by E P. Ripley,
President of the Santa Fe r. r.
contained In his double column
six inch ad, which appears in
this paper; we feel at liberty to
take issue with him: In the
first place he says that "con-
gress hastily acted under a
threat of four leaders," When
the facts in the case are; that
matter was entirely out of the
reach of "the four leaders" at
the time it was submitted to
Congress; that 400, 900 trainmen
had spoken, had acted, The
day and the hour was set for
the general strike unless their
demands were met. It Was no
threat.
Again he says the trainmen
are the best paid men in railway
service.
Another statement that is
misleading. While we frankly
admit that the trainmen are
WELL paid are paid perhaps all
they Should be paid, yet they
are not the BEST paru. The Of
ficers of the Railroads are the
BEST paid in the service, of
which Mr.. Ripley is the highest.
