ception of the English fleet. Ger
many. he said, in attacking the United
States, would have to fight 5000 miles
from it's base, Japan 5000 miles and
that it would be impossible for either
country to employ it's entire naval
strength against the United States.
as each country would have to keep
a powerful fleet in it's home waters.
President Kelly asserted that an
adequate fleet of submarines and a
large supply of mines would be all that
is necessary to protect our coasts, a
fact revealed by the European war.

by calling Richmond a "cheap-
skate town."

New York, Feb. 2S-Ths annual
meetinx of the football rules commit
tee, which was adjourned at the Bit
more this afternoon. after session OF
two days, was notable for what the
members of the committee did not do.
No action as to the numbering OF the
nlayers was taken. Nor was anything
done In the way of readjusting the
penalties for off-side play and holding.
And the abolition of the goal from
touchdown was merely discussed.
The present code of rules was simply
cleared up. Those changes that were
made~ did not affect the general aspect
OF the game. The penalties for several
violations of the rules. however. were
made more severe.
The matter of numbering players
was brought up for discussion. Some
of the committeeman. 1t Is understood,
were In favor of reading clause In
the rules making the labelling of the
PLAYERS more than recommendation.
An unexpected amount OF opposition
however, developed and in considera-
ton of this the subject was not even
voted upon. 1t WAS taken that the
measure would have been defeated had
it been put to n vote.
In making public the Developments
Of the meeting. Walter Camp parted
all questions and dismissed the SUB
ject In few words.
1t was decided to appoint COM
mtttee TO draft code of football
ethics for the guidance of scholastic
football players. The suggestions or
this committee. IL is proposed, viii be
incorporated into the football guide.
1t Is felt ,nat this movement will
have a desirable effect upon the young
players and that their attitude in COM
petition towards their opponents Will
approximate the sporting spirit
A number OF disputed points were
clarified. The nature of these points
are all technical. One OF these was

RANDOLPH-MACON
VICTORIOUS OVER
RICHMOND COLLEGE.
Yellow Jackets Put Up Brilliant Exhibition and Win Out Over
Spiders by Count of 81 to 20-Star Work of Drifting
ham Partly Responsible for Victory Won
by the Ashland Quint

With the recent defeat administered
them here by the Richmond College
basketers still fresh in their minds.
the Randolph-Macon Yellow Jackets
came back against their time-honored
foes with a vengeance last night on
the Richmond Howitzef court and sue
ceeded in nosing out a 81 to 20 VIC
tory over the Spiders.
Until the last few minutes of play.
the teams ran side by side. but with
only five more minutes left before
the sounding of the final whistle. the
Jackets started a squirt that the West
hampton coIlegians were unable to
check. and the Ashlanders proceeded
to take the lead by a large margin.
The game was one of the fastest wit
messed on the local court this season.
although neither team put up the ex.
hibition of the winter pastime, of
which they are capable OF playing.
From spectators standpoint the
game was rough, but IT was due to
the intense rivalry that exists be-
tween the two teams that made 1t ap-
pear this way.
The game had progressed for three
minutes before first blood was drawn
and 1t was Wood. Richmond Colleges

The dual meet between Church Hill
Athletic Club and Fairmount Athletic
Association proved walk-away for
Church Hill. It was exciting and In
teresting, regardless of the large num-
Der of points rolled up by Church
Hill. The final score stood: Church
Hill, So; Fairmount. 10.
There were many features to the
meet. one being the precision with
which II was run off. Atkinson, OF
Church Hill. was the spotlight man,
pulling off ten points. His work at
high Jump was decidedly above the
average. as we'll as that of shooting
the twelve-pound lead. McCook and
r. Bell tied up for the second highest
number of points, each getting eight
McCook showed up especially we'll IN
the mile run. He took the lead in the
start and with his clock work strides
his nearest opponent could not over
take him. r. Bell had little trouble
winning the pole vault, always clear
ing the stick with a safe margin.
There we're number to win -nye
points, but the most notable was Pat
terson. the seventeen-year-old lad
from Church Hill. who won by long
lead the ss0-yard run. He deserves
credit for his noteworthy ability. Lo-
cal track followers are very much
pleased with his showing last night,
and will doubtless keep an eye on him
hereafter.
The fifty-yard dash was one OF the
prettiest races OF the evening. All
the feet footers from East Richm ono
were there and II one should ask
whether they are fast or not that per-
son has only to consult one of the
many spectators OF the race. Gentry
easily won this event The fifty-yard
hurdles also had large number OF
entries. Due to lack of training, sew
