[Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch J I Charlottesvllle. Va. November 2i.? I Virginia's football eU?<n waa sent I through a long signal drill this after? noon. The bracing weather aerved to put new life into the men. and there i was a snap about the practice that was very pleasing to the coaches. Coaches and players are hoping for a dry held Thursday. With weather | conditions as good as prevailed In the Georgetown game. Virginia ahould be j able to uncork some new plays which have been rehearsed tor the past ten j days and thereby Increase her total ' points against North Carolina . The fact that every man with the I exception of Harris came out of the Georgetown game unhurt speaks well for the tine condition of the team. Joe Wood is suffering from a slight injury, but will be In fine shape when the .-tuning whistle blows )n Thanksgiv? ing *Day. Maiden is also suffering slightly from the injury sustained in the game with Variderbllt. but Is al? most certain to start against Caro? lina. Captain Todd has been kept out of the last few scrimmages for fear of injury, but is in perfect condition i for Thursday'a game. j The remainder of the men are in fine ] shape for the fray and will give the Tarheels the battle of their lives. Vir- ; glnia's line, which has proved Impreg- j nable to the attacks of Vanderbllt and Georgetown, is expected to easily ] crush back the Carolina offense, while Pinlay. Landes. Gillette snd Loretz should smash any attempts at circling the ends. As nearly all the business houses in Charlotteavllle shut down Thursday, a big crowd will undoubt? edly take in the excursion. ?. D. C. MAY TAKE HOME FOR WOMEN Miss Rutherford, Member of Committee, Greatly Pleased With Institution. Enthusiastic praise for the manage? ment and condition of the Home fo Needy Confederate Women in I.i .. mond was spoken last night by Mian Mildred Lewis Rutherford, of Athens. Ga, a member of the committee ap ' pointed at the convention of United Daughters of the Confederacy in Wash-: I ington to consider the advisability of the national organisation taking over the control of the institution. Miss Rutherford yesterday made a thorough; j inspection cf ths home, at 3 East Grace j Street. "Please say for me that I found the! conduct and affairs of the home in ex? cellent shape, excellent,'- she said to| I a reporter for The Times-Dispaxch, when seen at the Jefferson HoteL "The j management has been all that could be asked, everything possible has been ! done for the comtort of the Confed-' j ?rate women received there, and I think that Mrs A. J. Montague and her | associates are to be highly congrat? ulated." I When asked for her opinion con I cerning the advisability of the National I United Daughters of the Confederacy taking over the control and manage I meat of the home. Miss Rutherford j took pains to make plain that shs was not speaking for the committee as a whole, but merely for herself. *T shall certainly recommend to the i committee that we indorse the plan: to take over the Home for Needy Con-' ' federate Women," she said. "Of cours, I can only offer this recommendation,' and the committee as a whole can' only carry an Indorsement of the plan to the next national convention of the' U. D. C. I have no idea what action the committee will take, or how the convention will receive the committee's recommendation. The home la In a splendid state to be taken over st once by the national organization, and could be carried easily." In view of the fact that Miss Ruth? erford wss commissioned by the com? mittee to make the Inspection of the home. It Is not improbable that the committee will follow out her recom-j mendatton. reporting favorably to the' next convention on the plan to assume control of the institution. It Is at present under the mansgement and operation of an association, of which Mrs. Andrew Jackson Montague Is the president. It Is supported purely by voluntary contributions, most of which come from the city of Richmond. At the U- D. (*. Convention held last! week In Washington. Mrs. Montague gave a report of the work, and in the name of the association, offered to hand over the home and the manage? ment thereof to the national organt-{ zstion.

[Specisl to The Times-Dispatch.} Chapel Hill. ML C, November 25 ? Regular football practice at the Uni? versity of North Carolina for the sea? son of 1*12 ta on its last lap. the con? cluding rough and tumble scrimmage for the Carolina-Virginia game com? ing this afternoon between the first and second teams. On to-morrow they will skirt across the Held many tlm%s In signal practice and light manoeu? vres in manipulating the oval la a variety of new p!a>s that will be tested on Virginia. This will be the last day on the "hill" previous to the momentous struggle. After that Car? olina win rest its case. Kagerly and patiently awaiting the verdict that will be disclosed in Rich? mond Thursday, with four distinct groups of players lu action on as many varieties of play, succeeded by an hour's tierce scrimmage, the squad sur? passed anyt.'iing heretofore reorded for the amount of work It turned out this afternoon. Stevens, Carolina's piaytaker, la worked from every pos? sible angle of the Held on long range kicks. Faust, Tayloe and Applewhite handled the forward pass for thirty minutes or nore. Simultaneously lit? tle Abernathy and Johnston engaged extensively in drop klck'sg. To-day's practice was convi . >.ed into the theory of the survival of the fit? test, and those who csuld not meaaure up to the standard set by tbe coaches were relegated to the scrubs, to be substituted by promising second-team players. Little, of the scrubs, was worked out at left guard during the afternoon and seems to be a real find, aggressive and a stubborn worker, he gives promise of havin gan opportu? nity to display his fighting spirit on Thursday. Smith, quarterback on the scrubs, was worked as full back and may be sent in at any moment in course of the Thanksgiving battle. Lining up twelve'scrubs against the regular varsity this afternoon, the fight was on In earnest, and for a hour the battle was waged without a single let-up. Giving the scrubs the kick-off, the varsity had rushed the ball to the twenty-yard line in fHe minutes of play and stood ready to plant the oval squarely between the goal, posts, but Stevens's kick went wild, an exception to the rule, and the scrubs gained possession of tbe ball, rushing It across the "field for thirty I ards. and there tussled with the i cgular eleven for quite a bit. By ilie successful manipulation of the for? ward pass, the second team carried the ball over for a touchdown. With the stubborn determination to tighten up the varsity on defense, the coaches carried the ball back to the ten-yard line and let the scrubs con? tinually plunge at the apparently weak line of the regular eleven. For forty minutes this stunt was repeated, with the aim if strengthening the defense. Tayloe. full back, was the only mem j ber of the squad added to the Injured ; list, his injuries not being serious. BLUES BANKING 01 SURE VICTORY ; Condition of Team, With Experi? ence Gained, Lends Hope in Saturday's Game. With not a single Injured man on the team, and every one in good phy? sical condition, the Richmond Blues are eagerly awaiting their game with their old rivals, the Norfolk Blues, Saturday afternoon at Broad Street Park at 3:30 o'clock. The Richmond Blues have a stronger and more experienced team than last year, and have observed str'ct training rules, so the seaside soldiers will be up against an entirely different propo? sition, and they will have to fight hard for everything they make. The local team is not conceding any su? periority whatever to them, and they expect to wipe out the sting of last year's defest.
