Prospects Fine for Big Grid
Year in S. A. Group as Start
Of Campaign Is Made Today

Is beginning to form the opinion that
1t has an excellent chance against Navy
on October 3. William and Mary PLAYED
some great games last season, especially
against Harvard and Virginia Poly
technic Institute, and it looks forward
to even better chances against its 1881
opponents. In other words, William and
opponents real battles-that is. if it
measures up to its own expectations.
Washington and Lee should Get out
Of the foot ball doldrums before the
coming Thanksgiving. For three years
the Generals have played second fiddle
to nearly all the teams they have met,
and playing second fiddle so consistently
does not set well with Washington and
Lee people nor fit with Washington and
Lee traditions.
Jimmie De Hart, who coached Wash
ington and Lee with great success be-
fore going to Duke, Is back at Washing
ton and Lee and in the few DAYS he
has been there has revivified the foot
ball situation considerably. There is
not the least doubt that followers Of
the Lexington school, especially those
alumni and students in close touch with
foot ball there, have great confidence
in De Harris ability to set much higher
gridiron standards than were attained
at any time during De Harris absence.
NORTH CAROLINA expects to have
IN q fine team, but it has been
rumoFed that the foot ball situa-
ton at Chapel Hill Is not quite as good
as 1t has been at time Backfield
losses have hurt q good deal as such
men as Wyrick, Erickson, House, Mag
ner, Nash and others are not replaced
as easily as one might think they should
be. However, North Carolina looks for
greater strength In its line, and hopes
this superiority will more than make up
for backfield losses
North Carolina State and Duke, great
rivals Of North Carolina University, are
looking for nothing more nor less than
an almost complete reversal of their
recent gridiron fortunes. The former
is said to have the best material that
has worn its colors In many years and.
with the installation of the Notre Dame
system Of play, believes 1t Is going to
fare much better against opponents TO
which it has been bowling all too often
Wallace Wade is expected to do greet
things at Duke, and jrobably will. Wade
Is fine coach, and II he has material
as good as he had at Alabama there
is no reason to expect anything other
than that he will turn out teams just
as strong.
Georgetown, George Washington,
Catholic University and Maryland also
expect better elevens than represented
them In 1890. At least. everything
seems TO point that way. But Of the
local schools, more later.

Northwestern and Iowa had only one

- OUTH Atlantic foot ball, marking
its 1881 opening today, should as
a whole be bstter than in any
previous season for a decade
With the possible exception of North
Carolina, there is not q collegs that
does not have prospects of stronger
eleven than represented 1t last Fall
and most of them give indications OF
turning out teams superior to any that
have represented them in several years.
Virginia, especially, Is looking forward
to much better things. Its squad now
is such, with the better coaching 1t ex"
poets, as almost to warrant a pre-
diction that the team will be 80 per
cent stronger than any other eleven
that has represented Virginia in five or
situetion fairly eonservatively. And
Virginia people sense the situation, be-
cause they ere looking to this season
with more optimism than they have
looked to any other season in good
while. Virginia meets Roanoke College

MAGMA AGAIN PLANS
ATTACK ON VALUATION
Pay Taxe5 cor 1881 Under
Protest as. Step
Toward Suit
OLD CASE PENDING
Plnal Rate May Be Influenc-
ed By Copper Com
pany Action

Another suit over the as
sessed valuation of mining
property is seen in the action
Of the Magma Copper Com
pany of Superior in paying
its 1881 taxes under protest.
A cae in now pending in the
Plnal county superior court
in which the Magma COM
pany is suing for re-valua-
ton of its 1880 assessment,
contending that the valua-
ton of $13.174,598 should
be reduced approximately
$4,000.
Trial of the 1880 suit was
conducted several months
ago in the Pinal county su-
perior court. but no desion
has as yet been handed
down. The suit attacked
the method of the tax COM
mission in basing the valua-
ton on a 10-year average of
production.
The statutes require that
before suit can be brought
the taxes must be paid be-
fore September Is, and
protest filed. This week, of
ficials Of the company pre-
sented Alva Weaver, coun-
ty treasurer, with a check
for S306,737.32, the entire
assessment for this year, and
entered a protest. Mr.. Wea-
yer has notified the state
tax commission of the action
Of the compasy.
AS the Magma Copper
company is one of the larg-
est. tax payers Of the county,
considerable interest is being
shown in the case as a de-
cision favorable to the cop
per company would have
great effect on the tax rate
of the county.
The Magma protest was
the fourth made this year by
the mining companies. The
others protesting were the
United Verde Extension and
the United Verde Copper
company in Yavapai county,
and the Copper Queen
branch of the Phelps Dodge
corporation in Cochise ooun-
