making a touchdown, and neither be?

BOMB DROPS INTO'
V1R6IH1A C1P
Reported That Star Member of
Backheld Has Been Barred
From Game.
Churloltesvillc, Va.. November li.?
Quite n bomb was thrown Into Vir- J
ginla's football camp to-night by a
rumor to the effect that one of the
most prominent members of the var?
sity's back held squad had been de?
clared ineligible for the team on a
technicality, and, of course, would not
play in either the Georgetown or j
North Carolina games.
The ease. It is learned, came up be?
fore the faculty committee on atli
letlcs, but did not result from any
? barge brought against the eligibility
of the player in question by cither
Georgetown or North Carolina. The
player, It is alleged, was given a^ try
out last suminei by one of tho "State
League teams, hut was not accepted.
Although he played in no match games,
the fact that he accepted even expense
money would bar him from partici?
pating in athletics at the university,
so strict Is ihe code of rules laid down
by the authorities.
The loss of such a valuable pluyer
Just at this time would prove a severe
blow to the team's prospects In the
two premier games of the schedule.
Virginia's back field Is not nearly so
strong as the line, and the team could
ill afford to spare one of Its best of?
fensive players.
Those who went out to Lambeth
Field this afternoon, expecting to see
the practice were disappointed, as the
workout was strictly secret. The squad
was taken to the lower Held at 3:30.
oud thore it remained in seclusion
until after f. o'clock. Head Coach
Vuncey was assisted by W. Christie
IP-net. "Billy" Gioth and Elliott, und
tin- practice was a very thorough one.
Only a few minutes were devoted to
scrimmaging, ami then only ihe .second
string of backs was used. The. ground
was very soft, anil the coaches did not
care to take any risks with the play?
ers The forwards showed up espe?
cially well In the brief tryout.
The present belief Is that Virginia,
will start oh' with the following back
Held Saturday: Gooch, at quarter: Todd
and Walter, halves, anil Goodhue, full?
back.
The lirst ma ss - meet mg of the week
to arouse interest in the Georgetown
contest was held to-night, and much
enthusiasm was displayed.
The Virginia eleven will hold its
Ptuii practice to-morrow aftornoon. It
will be behind closed doors, of course,
and Will consist mainly of a long drill

CROWD ATTENDS
BOXING CONTEST
Herbert's School Does Itself |
Proud Before Large Gal?
lery of Enthusiasts.
Herbert's school In physical culture
gave a public exhibition lust night to
un audience which literally packed the
rooms of that organization. All man?
ner of exhibitions showing the progress
of the students were presented, and
the crowd got Us money's worth, ad?
mission being entirely through Invita?
tion.
Probably the biggest event of the eve?
ning was the announcement that George:
Herbert and Mike Donaldson had joined
hands and would conduct a school of
instruction for those who wanted to
learn the manly urt of self-defenuc.
The partnership dutert from last night.
A building suitable for taking cure of
the large classes which will enter will
be rented. This building Is going to
be equipped with modern apparatus,
and the scholars will got the bcnelll
of tho knowledge of two experts in
their line.
Herbert will lake charge of the
wrestlers, while Donaldson will have
charge of the boxers. From time to
time public exhibitions will be given,
so that the people at large may gel an
opportunity to find out Just how much
the boys have advanced. At these pub?
lic exhibition, the feature event will
be some boxer of known reputation,
who will be matched with an oqually
wen known opponent.
Last night the first match on the
curd was a six-round affair between
Lightning Bane Hnd Swlfty Stagg, two
local aspirants for ring honors, who
are now in the squab class. The two:
boys put up a pleasing contest and were 1
roundly applauded for their work. They'
w itc evenly matched, and the milling
was fairly fast, but not so fast as to
cause Injury.
Holl and Kaufman. In a ten-mlnulo
wrestling go. were the next to appear.
Hull had the better of the argument,
though no full was the result. After
gi tting away from a hammerlock.
Holt, with a straight body hold, turned
Kaufman on the mat and throw his
shoulders to the mat. The fall was
not allowed because Kaufman was
not pinned.
The final alTnlr of the evening was
a buttle royal, in which there were
several participants. It is rumor*d
that a local celebrity whose name Is'
Krause will go against a product uT ?
the navy In the person of W. W. Kugle
at the next meeting. Altogether the
meet was a success. The calibre of tho
people present showed that Interest Is

HAS COMMITTEE
DONE FULL DOTY?
Doubt Exists as to Next Move
in Effort to Legalize
Primaries.
BYRD WILL PRESENT BILL
Question if State Committees
Measure Should Again
Be Proposed.
Koine Inquiries have been mnUc of
late an lo whether or not it Is tho
duty of Ktato Chairman J. Taylor Elly
son to call together s meeting of the
State Democratic Committee, or to ap?
point a subcommittee thereof, for tho
purpoBc of formulutltig a bill for the
legalization of primary elections, for
presentation to tho Legislature. Mr.
Lllyson himself has not decided the
point, preferring lirst to consult mem?
bers of the committee on tho point.
In the State Convention or 1?08, a
resolution was adopted instructing the
committee to prepare it bill und In?
troduce it in the General Assembly,
designed to safeguard primary elec?
tions, .lust prior to the meeting of
the Legislature of 1910, Chairman
1311 y son appointed a subcommittee,
which met in this city and darfted a
measure. This bill was short, merely
providing that primaries shall be 'un?
der the full protection of all laws
of this State for the punishment and
prevention of fraud, intimidation and
other Irregularities, or corrupt prac?
tices In general elections, so far as
they may be applicable thereto."
In addition, the t,lll forbade the sab
of newspaper space to candidates un?
less plainly marked as an advertise?
ment.
rlrrd Als? Had BUI.
lusi before tho meeting of this com?
mittee. Speaker It. IS, Hyid had pre
pared a bill, sweeping In Its nature,
which covered the whole ground of
primaries In detutl, applying all pro?
visions of the penal code relating to
the elective franchise, to primaries.
The selection of Judges, the quulltl
cstlons of voters, the expenses of can?
didates, the vot'ng, were all covered
by specific ruleB.
Mr. Byrd did not like the subcom?
mittee'.- bill. He said It was "too at?
tenuated to east a shadow," and that
It was "not even an embryo from
which a living orguulstn could be
evolved."
When the legislature met, two other
primary bills wore Introduced?one by
J. E. West, of Suffolk, an'l the other
by J. T. Deal, of Norfolk. The Com?
mittee on Privileges and Elections re?
ported all out unfavorably save the
Byrd bill, which If amended In a very
important particular, and which had
been previously modllled In some sec?
tions b>' Mr. Byrd himself.
No bill wan passed, all dying op the
calendar without discussion on the
Hour.
What Is Nest Stepf
The question now Is this: The State
Committee having once prepared a hill
according to the instructions of the
convention, and the Legislature hav?
ing fulled to act on It. should the com?
mittee get up a new bill, should it
relntrodure the old one, or should it
do nothing? This query is as yet un?
answered.
Speaker Byrd has already given no?
tice that he will relntroduce his own
bill as it came from the committee,
except that he will not consent to a
clavise Inserted In reference to tho
qualifications of voters in primaries. ,
He had provided that:
"No person shall be permitten to j
vote unless In the last preceding gen?
eral elections he voted for the presi?
dential electors nominated by such
party, or for the nominee for the
House of Representatives of such
party, or the nominee of such party
for Governor, or the nominee of Mich
party for the House of Delegates; pro.
vided. further, that If he did not vote
at such general election, then upon
his declaration that he will support
at the ensuing election the nominee
of the parly In whose primary ho
Wishes to vote, then he shall be al?
lowed to vote."
Material Change.
To this the committee added the
clause: "And provided, further. that
when questioned by the Judges, if he
*hall pledge himself to support the
nominees of the party in the ensuing
election, he shnll he allowed to vote."
It Is this which Mr. Byrd will strike
from his bill, believing that It opens
the doors for Republican participation
In Democrat'c primaries.
The Ryrd bill of the coming session
would leave It optional with each
party n? to whether or not It would
go Into the primary, and each party
would have the right to leave the
method of nomination of local candi?
dates to local committees. The offi?
cers of election would be chosen by
electoral boards from lists furnished
by party committees; the expenses
would be pnld by the counties and
cities; candidates would pay .1 per
cent, of a year's salary of the olllee
they seek BS n primary fee, to keep
out the trlflers; expenses would be
limited to 10 cents for each vote east
for the candidate of the party polling
the highest vote In the preceding elec?
tion. There Is the same provision as
to newspaper advertising contained In
tho subcommittee bill.
