Virginia Quint Shows Great
Form and Defeats Strong
Catholic Quint.
(Special to The Times-Dispntch.]
bhorlottesvtlle, Vn., February ".?
Virginia showed a complete reversal
of form in the- game with Georgetown
to-night, and defeated the redoubtable
Catholic quint 3S t<> 10, in the best
game of the season.
Trainer Lanhtgah had *n for both I
halves men Who have been dually '
picked for the first team, ami they |
V-"ll put up a splendid article of ball.
-The shifting of Kearns front guard
to forward worked wonders^ for be
was a. good companion for Rlxey, the
.other forward, who often brought the
[jei'owd to its feet with spectacular
.losses, scoring eight goals In all:
Captain Cecil was In tho game as
3ils true self for the first lime since
his recent sickness, and his dribbling
and accurate passing were responsible
ifor many points. Campbell hnd .tones
did not give Georgetown a chance at
?the baskets. The team snowed a
great improvement, individually und
collectively.
There were stars on Georgetown,
but resolute guarding kept tnem down, i
Barrfccllo got over a basket when bei
was given the least opportunity, ahti
Martin gave Virginia a start with ?
big brace in the second half, when ho
ihre.v three goals In rapid succession.
Ijambcrton was put in during the sec?
ond half, anil figured in the sprint of
iho second hall that threatened lie?
fen t.
At. the end of the first half I he score
was It! to 7. A pass from Rlxey to
.tones caused the first goal, and I learns
tdid two pretty ones within the netting.
Barrlcello tallied with a toss from the
side, but Rlxey came back with two
ppints. Georgetown aimed at too long
distances, but Schlosser finally got an
opening and whs followed by Ulxey,
Barricello netted a goal, and Cecil ran
down the Hour for a. beautiful throw
that was successful. Rlxey made
goal from foul, and Cecil's dribbling
gave .Tones a chance to put one In.
The second half opened with two goals,
right off the jump, by Rlxey. Reams
(limited another in. and Lambbrton's j
aim was good for a Georgetown gain.
Campbi U's throw, front near the
grhlddie "f the floorj was tho host of
tiK- game, and Rlxey's toss right after,
swelled the scon-. Georgetown ap?
peared to bi?, rallying when Martin
aviated t\vo, ov*r- within a minute, and
Schlosser reached up tor one, after
Campbell bail followed suit.
Good passing and blocking by Vir-,
ginia gave Rlxey a chance to secure'
i!t.- game with three goals, and Jones
doubly insured It with two more for
jgood measure. .lones placed another
in .tust as tho whistle, blew, but bo had

expected that lie will lie in lib- best

Yesterday the men did n<> work. It
was thought best by the conch to let
them have a day's rest before, the
meet. Consequently, aside from diet?
ing and following the course <>f indoor
work mapped out by the Instructor;
nothing was done.
Spring Moot Requires Attention.
.Manager Corlcy, who will accompany
the team. will, as soon as he returns,
begin work in earnest oil the great
outdoor meet to bo held here at the
ball park In April. He has been re?
tarded in his plans because of the
George Washington meet. There were
many details, to bo looked after, and
he could neglect none of them. For
this reason his time has been com?
pletely occupied.
But with the out-of-town event off
of his hands, he will have plenty of
time to look after tho approaching
show. 1.otters must be written to all
of the but-ofrtbwn universities, col?
leges and prep, schools to be Invited
to the meet. Tho several schools n?>
cop ting must ho classed. Sanction ofj
tile A. A. r. must, be secured, und. in
fuct. other tilings too numerous to men?
tion must be attended to.
Unless all plans fall, ibis spring meet
should be the very greatest of its kind
I ever hold In Richmond, f-'?? far as can
be learned, all of the institutions to be
invited look kindly on the affair and
will send their athletes. Virginia will
surely be on hand, and so will George?
town and GcOrgo Washington. Very
likely Johns Hopkins will have a team
in the field, and 11 Is certain that Wil?
liam and Mary, II ninpiicn-Sidney and
Randolph-Macon will compete. In ad-|
ditlon, the many prop, schools will bei
asked, and a ,goodly proportion will be
on hand.
Owner Bradley has agreed to let the
collegians have the ball park at a nom?
inal charge, and It is believed that the
! merchants in this city will come .across
with the prizes to lie offered. Cohsld
j crable expense attaches to holding a
j meeting such us will be tho spring
(?vent, nnd the local school needs the
support <>f every one. in the city.
By the middle or April the track
squad at the college should be In its
lest condition, and the men ripe to
make good time. Magaman Is of the
opinion that the material he has on
hand, if properly developed, can do
credit to the city and to the school.
All that remains Is to secure the. sup?
port of the people, for whoso benefit
the games are being arranged.

announcement that the Richmond

success can bo made advisedly. AI
ready there are <>n bund sufficient nip-l

this reason it can be stated that the

It should be a pretty race for the'

rivalry, the best of feeling will pre- j

park must also bo considered. Already
two parks have been offered for our
use. We must select one, or it may
be deemed advisable to play on each
alternately.
Remember that the league Is to he a
permanent affair. It has been sug?
gested that each club bo required to
put up a small sum of money, to bo
known as a forfeit fund, a certain
amount to ho deducted for each failure
of a team to meet the team against

CITY AND COUNTRY !
CLOSER TOGETHER
That Is Result of Good Roads Conference Held in
' This City?Farmers Look Forward to Time
When Auto Will Be Used on Farm.
As an uficrinaiii to the good roatls
conference Jield at the Richmond Hotel
Thursday night, when the supervisors
of roads and the members of the Leg?
islature in the counties between Hits
city and Gordonsvillc, togcttier witn
members of the Richmond Automobile
Club, mingled and discussed lite pro?
posed highway between Richmond and
t iordonsvlllc, organizing the Rich- j
mond-l,oidsa-Cordons\'llle lUghway As?
sociation, conies the announcement
from II. Crimm Peck, secretary of the
new organization, that many names
in addition to those printed yesterday
morning have been received as appli?
cants for membership:
The new organisation is scheduled
to hold meetings from time to time uhu
to discuss ail of the details which will
arise as che road is being built. It 's
especially gratifying to those who
have been most deeply interested to
see the manner in which the various
supervisors, who have the binden of
actually building the road to contend
with, have taken to the proposed high?
way. They have pledged thoinsol V-.'S
to do all ih their power to see all Ol
tb<- plans laid brought to a success:
ful fruition.
Several of the delegates remained
over until ycstertluy and visited tit.
various points of interest, from a good
toads standpoint, around Richmond.
To u man they were more than pleased
with the reception they had received,
and were of the opinion that thp meet?
ing had been ji great success and had
given them an opportunity to more
thoroughly understand the motives
which actuated the ntitoihobilists of
Richmond in desiring bettor roads.
Needs of FnrmerN l-'irst Ciini?hler?tioii,
It was clearly brought out at llio
meeting that the desire of the Rich?
mond] Automobile Club was not to se?
cure h great highway for automobil
ists. but to secure a good working
road for the bcnellt oC those who lived
jalong the route of the road, so thut
tnby could haul their products to and
from market at less expentfo; A natu?
ral result of such a roadway would
he (hat those who drove motor cars
would he no lit.
That u new impetus has been given
good roads because of I he Richmond
eonforenee goes without saying. .Man..
who came to the meeting antagonistic,
to the men who drive gasoline bug?
gies left with the kindliest Iecllng 'ti
the world, and with the determinai.on
to go home and tell their people that
'tlie Richmond Automobil,, ?Muh would
countenuncti no fast of reckless driv
: ing vlong ithy road. At ieas< such
' was the talk hearti among the tlclc
, gates. And it was thought 1.ilintiy.
[titling that a permanent organization
; had bei n formed.
I "The new organization." said one
imam who had been identified with the
I meeting, "w ill serve to brTng its coun?
try people and you city 1.pie elos-ov
together, so thai We can undor.stnnu
each other and work in harmony in?
stead of at cross purposes; We real?
ize in the country thai the automobile
has come to stay. Indeed, we look
forward to the time when the auto?
mobile will in: as much at home ..?)
the farm us it is In the city.
I "Under these conditions it is essen?
tial that we work togethor to bring
about a rasnll which will be mutually
j b'chclicial. So far as I am eptioerhob,
and I believe l talk for tlx. majority of
I the people Who IIve in the rural dis
! trlcts. I shrill do all in my power to
I see tills great link between the North
' and South completed us speedily us
possible.''
/As a matter of fact, such was the
talk heard on all sides. Kvcry one
realizes that the road is a necessity,
and all an- rotidy and willing to work
together in order to bring about, the
desired result.
FEW CHANGES MADE
IN FOOTBALL RULES
Periods Between Quarters Reduced and New
Spot Fixed for Application of Forward Pass
Penalties?Synopsis of Amendments.
Now York, February 3;?The Inter?
collegiate Football K?los Com inltt.ee
did a little more surgery on the game
at a meeting in New York to-day.
With K. K. Hall, of Dartmouth, as
chairman, ami Walter Camp, as secre?
tary; the committee decided that inter?
missions were too long, and reduced the
periods between the first and second
and the third and fourth Quarters from
three minutes to two minutes. A new
rule was adopted permitting teams, by
agreement, to transfer the supervision
of offside piny upon the line of scrim?
mage from umpire to head linesman.
The linesman, however, is to report nny
infraction to the umpire.
Another .new rule adopted provides
that throwing a player to the ground
after the referee has declared the ball
dead may be considered unnecessary
roughness. An amendment wa3 adopt?
ed allowing only three men to walk Up
and down the Held on each side of the
line. The present rule allows five men.
If lue ball accidentally strikes an "Hi
clal, provides another amendment, it
shall hot become dead, but play shall
continue.
A new rule adopted spec!lies that all
penalties under the ruh- regulating the:
forward pass shall i>" applied from the]
spot of the down, and not on the spot
from which the pass was made.
j The committee transferred the duty
? if keeping time from the field judge to
the umpire, and In rub r>. section ~.
[which provides that a player, In catch
in. g for a pass, shall not he tackled or
shouldered until he has caught the
ball and "taken more than one step in
any direction," the -.cords "taken more
than one step in any direction*' were
stricken out.
After tlte conference Mr Hall said.
"The reason that the committee made
so few changes in that we feel the game
has accomplished what the now rules
[Started out to do?the elimination of
serious Injuries?arid that It was now
n safe and playable game."
SHAFTS FROM SP?RTL?SfD
By GUS MALBERT.
Sure will be one surprised eet of fans when
they journey to It road Street I'ark to wit?
ness the n. ?? of ball this yoar.
N'o more white sand to blind the eyes and
make you lose patience.
Instead there, will be a carpet of velvety
green, all planted l?y .loe llettsler with the
assistance of his faithful workers.
In all seriousness, Richmond will have a
diamond this year second to none, i know
because I have seen it. 1 only hope that the'
team will bi: as (rood as the park. Then
v.u'll have a winner sure.
So Guy Tit man wants to no West, ft
strikes me that the rory best tiling for hi in
to do Is to gi> to work. Guy has every ear?
mark of a great ball player, hut he is in?
clined to loaf, and loafers never draw big
salaries in any line, of business
It is a peculiar thins that when I remark?
ed a few weeks ago that all of the managers
in the league were engaged in a big-sized
guessing h'-e and that not a single one ,,f
I Hem knew what the other one was doing
some of my friends made fun of the story,
Whllo the fit was on me I delivered my?
self of some trito, yot trenchant remarks, m
the effect that every manager was keeping i
hold of all of the hall players he had last |
year that he wanted. This also brought
snickers from the gallery.
Now these same individuals arc shouting 1
at the top of their voIccb. with their Iuii?k I
puffed oat, just what I have raid all of the
time, and adding that 11 is essential to rai.<"^
the salary limit in order to get ball players.
Certainly you need more money if you oro
coiner in keep the men who played in th.
league last year. The teams were costing!
more than 12,000 a month last yoar. and <li?-!
salary limit is only $1,3<<0 this year. .Se.-ms
to me. I have been sadly fuzztcrl In this
to me I have been sadly fii7.7.tcd in tho
wholo transaction, but honest to goodness I
construed what the magnates said at that
meeting after the eiosc of the leaguo to i
mean that they were going to get rid of ,
all of the old ball players, bag and hnugage. I
and get a crowd which would fit In tho now I
salary limit.
Maybe they were talking in chimpanzee
and I couldn't understand. Hut anyway. I
still maintain that each manager is loary |
of the others, and for that reason is hold- I
ing on to what ho has got in the way o'
serviceable ball players and at the. same
time getting more.
Ton can stretch $1,200 right far, but If
the present tension keeps up watch It tear,
nay, watch it "bust."
And then watch something else "bust"
along with It.
If you owned n horse that had won forty
races In six years and 121.000 would you
keep your name a secret? Hut that's what
tho man who owns Ilazelthorpo, the hand
nomn bay mare seen on tho local track last
