Two football teams in the South
Atlantic section went through the
poorest seasons they have had in
years The University of Virginia and
the North Carolina Agricultural and
Mechanical College were much below
their usual standard. failing to win
any OF the important games on thei:
schedules, and in some instances
meeting with decisive defeats
A lack Of good material seems TO
have been the main reason for the
failure to produce a better eleven at
Virginia Several OF the men used
almost regularly had little previous
experience, and 1t was not to be ex-
pected that the Orange and Blue
would accomplish much against the
teams 1t was compelled to meet. 1t
was not expected that Virginia would
defeat either Yale or Harvard, but
those institutions won by such big
scores that there was no comparison
between the contending teams such
as existed a year ago, when Virginia
won from Yale and lost to Harvard
only because the Crimson kicked three
goals from the field. Had virginia's
defeats by Harvard and Yale been
the only sethacks with which it had
to contend. the season would still

contest with North Carolina for the

The North Carolina Agricultural
and Mechanical College was decided
iy unsuccessful. 1t had poor coaching
and the material was not up to the
standard OF the last three years. The
Navy. Georgetown and Washington
and Lee ran up big scores against the
North Carolina institution and several
smaller colleges made things hot for
It. A change in the coaches in mid
season was necessary, and that sell

ORYS Of MICHIGAN

Lansing. Mich. Dec Sit Is time
for the dry forces in every township
and county In the State to get busy
as regards the election OF so-calied
minor officials and circuit judges. II
Michigan after May l, 1918, is to be
dry In fact as we'll as In name, II is
none too early to get the habit OF
securing dry officials for all elective
offices OF the State, and to firmly in
sist that all men appointed to office
shall measure up to that high stand
ard.
Tho kind OF prohibition in vogue
in Michigan from 1S55-1S75, when a
Statewide prohibition law was on the
statute books. must not be repeated
For those twenty years the law was
left like an abandoned child on the
back steps of the saloons and brew
cries. where 1t starved and froze to
death. and was finally repealed. In
those days the officials refused to
keep their oath of Office, and the
temperance sentiment OF all churches
and all parties had not yet crystal
iized into an Anti-Saloon League, to
remind recreant officials that there
was still "a God in Israel"
Time to Begin Now.
It IL time to begin planning. now,
for dry men OF all ofllces to be filled
at the spring elections. This work
ought to be started at once by the
dry forces of every township and
county In the State, and be carried
on absolutely without regard to
whether they are Republican, Demo-
crat or Progressive. 1t IL OF vital
importance to the future success of
prohibitory law in this State. that the
constables, supervisors, township
clerks and Judges Of the circuit courts
elected this coming spring. shall be
dry men and openly elected upon that
issue. The same necessity even In a
more emphatic sense. holds true in
the self ctions OF prosecuting attorneys,
sheriffs and State officials generally,
at the fall elections.
The necessity OF adopting this
course as the general policy of the
law-abiding citizens OF the State. is
strongly emphasized in the choice of
township clerk and supervisor. II

wet men on the panel of the jury

PROFITS At
YALE BREAK RECORDS

New Haven. Conn, Dec. 3.-A-
though the Official Yale receipts for
the football season will not be made
public for several weeks. It Is known
that they Will break all previous reo-
ords Nearly every game on the Yale
schedule yielded a slightly greater
revenue than ever before. The 1900
additional seats at the Yale Harvard
game will swell the total gross, but
not the net receipts. by about $4,000.
The expense of constructing the seats
however, will bring the net receipts
from the game down considerably.
The expense OF erecting every tenn
porary seat u estimated at about
$3.50.
Tho attendance at the YaIe-Har-
$4,000, against 10000, the largest
previous figure. That at the Yale
Princeton game was about $4,000,
against $4,000. the previous top-notch
figure for a Yale game at Princeton.
The Yale Brown game also proved a
great attraction, about 5000 persons
being present, Of which about 10000
paid 81 each. This number Is greater
than attended Yale-Harvard and Yale
Princeton games till recently The
fact that the Yale management af-
lowed 5000 members Of the Boys
Club Of New Haven to see the game
free was responsible for a large per-
centage OF the attendance.
The game with Colgate drew about
5000: that with Washington and JEFF
ferson the same number. while those
with Lehigh. Virginia and tho Car
negie Tech from 1000 to 5000. Till
the games with Brown. Harvard and
Princeton the admission fee was kept
at 50 cents.
From the Harvard game here Yale
will get about $4,000 gross; from
the Princeton game at Princeton.
about $4,000 gross; the Brown
game, about $4,000, and the minor
games. between $4,000 and $1,000
each The total receipts from the
year will be about $4,000. It Is be-
lieved. Last year they were about
$100h000. From the net receipts the
football association will contribute to
the support OF the crew largely and

rd Ready To Quit Pugisc League Players Off Batting
WILLARD IS ANXIOUS
TO QUIT RING CAME
Worlds Champion Heavyweight Pugilst May Fight One
More Battle, But Jess Declares That It Will Be His
Last One-Seventy Pounds Overweight. /,

Chicago, Dec. 3.-Jess willard may
fight one more battle In the padded
ring. but 1t will be his last one, ac-
pion. He met Tex Rickard, the lead
ing promoter of the country, this
week, on instructions from Jones, who
was III In Hot Springs. but the champ.
acting under orders, refused to do
business under any conditions or even
to give Richard first call on his SER
vices. Jess isn't particular whom no
meets next If he can get the price. for
unless something akin to the Johnson-
Jeffries situation hobs up In the next
year, the next battle Willard takes
part in win be his last.
Highest Bidder to Get Bout.
Vying with Richard for the
champs services is Tom Andrews,
who, instead OF consulting Willard.
went direct to headquarters and got
in touch with Jones. He was told that
the highest bidder would be the lucky
one; that Jones had no favorite, It
being question of money only.
Getting Jones' consent to tho match
and offering the best inducements.
however. Is only half Of the battle.
The most important Job will be to
get Jess consent to an early match.
He thinks his long Jolt with the circus
entities him to rest, so that he can
get acquainted with his family, and
the upshot of the whole affair may
be that Willard will pack his trunk
and his family on to train bound
eastward and quit the ring forever.
A close friend met the former cow
puncher today and this Is what he
had to say. following his talking with
the bulky champion:
Jess wants to quit the game worse
than he ever wanted to do anything
in his life He Is dog-tired of the life
and breads the day when he will be
forced to start active training again.
Maybe you don't realize 1t. but taking
off fat is an awful job with the Kan
san. and It gets tougher With each
match. I should say that the champ
is now seventy or eighty pounds over
weight. Just imagine what n time
he will have getting rid of that sur
plus flesh.
Sick Of Being Hurrahed.
HE told me that he was sick OF
being hurrahed and his ambition now
| is to retire on a ranch, far away from
the hustle and noise OF Chicago.
wouldn't be a bit surprised IL he quits
{
engagement, and maybe before. a. 1t
IL going to take an enormous amount
Of money to get him into fighting trim.
| He Is we'll fixed as regards worldly
| goods I guess he has more real cash
within reach than he ever imagined
was in the world. certainly a heap
more than he ever expected to possess.
THE fighting game has been pretty
/ good to Jess. He knows II better than
| any one else. especially when he goes
| back few years and recalls the days
! when he wasn't so we'll fixed. Now he
has paid OF all his debts, and I think
| he can write a check for 100000 by
selling some Of his real estate. He
thinks this is enough for any man. for
| Willard is far from money mad.
guess he would be willing to give halt
| OF his fortune away II he could retire
right now and never again be called
upon TO battle"
