Below Standard.

Especial to The Times Dispatch.J
ASHLAND, VA, August 18.-Time for
the reopening Of the colleges will soon
be here, and it Is only natural that the
fans are beginning 10 wonder what
brand of football they will be furnish
ed this season. IL any.
So far as is known now the Yellow
Jackets will not cancel their schedule,
notwithstanding the fact that they have
been hard hit by so many Of their best
athletes joining the army or navy. It
is hardly probable that the game will
be up to the high standard Of former
seasons anywhere. and the coaches will
be obliged to do the best they can
with what material they can collect.
Only three OF the Jackets varsity
lege. These are Meyberg, the big right
guard; Creekmur. center, and Copley,
left tackle.
Captain Morton, who, for three sea-
sons. has been one of the main stays
in the line. Is now a member of the
Blues, and will no doubt make SOL
der Of the caliber he was an athlete
His place at left guard will be hard
to NIL, even at normal times, for he
was the type Of man that was always
on the Job. and the coach could be sure
his position would ut all times be- we'll
taken care OF. His cool head, with HIS
weight and speed, made him a grid
ironer to be feared.
Young and Coghill. the main stays OF
the back field. are also with the Blues,
and their places will be difficult to MI,
for both are players far above the .aver-
age. They have talled tho positions

McAuleys work in the field was
again OF the sensational kind and his
speed and accurate throwing several
times robbed local players OF what
seemed certain hits. Slattery also did
clever fielding and McDermott gave
symnastic exhibition In tumbling that
pleased the fans when he retired Nc
Auley in the fifth on an attempted sac

lie the wrong way and let out Polish
exclamation. Then he bent over and
applied his eyes to a crack in the
woodwork. At first he could not make
out anything in the murk. but at length
pair of green eyes met his Mortified
gaze, it seemed. to his untutored mind.
conclusive evidence Of personal call
from the evil one, and when horns
raped the planking and long tail
swished the water he went away from
there very quickly. With him went
the rest Of the longshoremen.
Up winding Fulton street they sped
and around the crooked corner into
narrow Poplar street, where they very
nearly carried the door Of the Poplar
street police station off its hinges. They
arrived before the desk sergeant all
abreast and told their story. as their
knees S!!lote one against another and
their hands CROPPED .eebly for the desk
rail. The desk lieutenant thought ct
first it was q case of greenhouse"
whisky. but he finally sent man down
to investigate. The patrolman found
that the apparition was only steer
which had been thrown into the river
and had swum up under the dock. He
did not know just what to do and his
police manual gave him no help. OBJ
viously he could not loosen the steers
collar and roll it over a barrel. Nor
could he give i an antidote for poison.
At last he ha. bright thought and
called up the dock department. the
steer being at a dock and therefore,
per sc a at subject for the dock de.

The dock department responded-or

10 exceed $3.50 each. The Govern.
ment has called on the Red Cross
Society to aid the public in pro,
viding these packages for our boys
by having supplies on hand which
the public can purchase from the
Red Cross, to make up these pack
ages. Samples of same will be sent
to each Branch in the County,
These packages must all be in the
Division Headquarters by Nov. II
if they are to reach the boys at
Chris.,las.
THIS is a very worthy undertake
ing and it is suggested that on ac-
count Of the war at this time THAI
the presents given at Christmas
this year should be confined to tn.
boys in the service of their coun-
try.
