pressure. His announcement, there- ,
fore, that he is not going to serve i
again is simply a reiteration of hi* '
original intention, from which there
have been no Intimations at. any time
that he would depart.
Fourth—the fans—or at least a
great majority of them—fully expect
a team next year and for the next
five years. There Is ftp intimation of
tiie town Quitting the game, and the
only post-season discussion now going
on Is as to the best man to tuke
President McLaughlin's place and to
manage the team, and this discussion
has not settled down enough .vety to
afford even an inkling of what the
consensus of opinion really is.
Ready to Sign I'p.
In other words, there Is no feeling
that Lynohburg will give up the fran
chise by falling to enter into another
five-year agreement. It is felt that
after two years of "hard luck," or
whatever may oe the term used to
express the work ' of the Lynchburg
teams in 1909 and 1910, it will soon
be time for things to turn and for
the Shoemakers to have a better show i
for the pennant In I91L They won i
the. pennant one yetiy out of the live
with six teams competing for It, and
so the spirit is that the Hill Climbers
are not really behind the game.
Nothing definite has yet been done
regarding the coming season, except
in the way of preparation for the
personnel of the team, tint It is as- j
sorted that no time will be lost in I
getting things into good shape.
Want Reforms.
The fans he.'e appear to lie insistent
for a more efficient management on
the part of the league as a whole.
The reeling Is that unless the salary
limit, for one thing, is strictly observ
ed, and unless there is sonie one with
authority and willingness to see that
the rule is actually enforced to the
very letter, the league will by in far
worse^shape at the end Of the 1*11
seasonYhan it is now. Take the ex
perience of the total team. It is *ta.t
ed upon excellent authority that .the
local management observed* the
salary limit as long as It eoilld—until
the team showed that It cotild hot stay
In the same class. with ' the other
teams "on the circuit. That. tt is
urged, was the reason why the man
agement lost money, for tt is believed
Lynchburg started out with as -good
a team ns could on the avrntge be j
totmd within the salary limit.
An active president for the Virginia :
League, a sportsmanlike feeling re
garding tg$ salary and other agree
ments, and a burying of past bicker
ings—these are the big things vh»pe*1 ■
for, according to the general trend of
the talk In fandom just now .
Given these, theyfsay. Lynchburg fj
will be Jn the race In 1*11 and the
succeeding four year* with the beat
of them.

position last year will not return to
college this year.
There !s plenty of in w material
on hand wjllch should materially
strengthen the team. The recruits will
be given a good working out by Coach
Long and It may be mat he will pick
out some strong men from the bunch
Old Men Buck.
The old men who are back and who
will he on the field Monday are: Mc
Farlatnv. end: Johnson, tackle; Jones,
guard; Decker, guard; Mills, full
hack: Taylor, half hack; Meredith
(will try for quarterly' k); Guy, end
or half back; Sutherland, guard;
Durrum, tackle; Davis, tackle; Sad- !
ler, tackle; Tyler, hall back. Sub- ,
stltutea, W. R. Smith. Lankford and 1
Carter.
It will be necessary to develop a
new quarterback this ear as Alfred ;
Smith, who held the position last year, ,
la not back at college. Meredith l
will have a try out (or the position i
and several others in the squad will
make an effort to make (rood for the
position. A new renter will also be
found as Stringfellow has not re
turned.
One of the new men is sure to make
the team and will prove a tower o(
strength. This man is Faine. who
was the star of the First tlegiment
team last year. The player has de
cided to enter Richmond College and
will very probably be played at full
back. He Is regarded as one of the
best all round athletes in Richmond.
Coach Not Here.
Coach E. V. Long, u(ho has suc
ceeded to the place held by Coach
Dunlop for several years, has not yel
reported at the college.' He has been
expected for several days and is like
ly to drop in at any hour now.
The Spiders are particularly fortu
nate In getting the services of Long
Harvard's strong man, who will take
charge of the football and baseball
teams at the college. He Is a star of
Harvard and the Fniverslty of Illinois,
and has a fine record as a successful
athlete. He will have sole charge of
the Spider football and baseball teams
and will doubtless cause a big im
provement in both branches of sport
at the college.
Coach Long has been expected for
several days, but has doubtless been
delayed. He will be on hand for the
first practice on Monday, however, and
will keep his men on the jump until
the first game is played.
Schedule Is Ready.
Manager W. L. O' Flaherty has been
out of the city for the greater part
of the summer, but he will return Sat

LYNCHBURG. VA.. Hept. 1T.—The
j outlook for the University of Virginia
: football team is rather discouraging,
j according to Captain Geyser, the head
j of the Varsity eleven for the seasop
; of 1910, who passed through here this
morning. He stated that because of
: the loss of so large a percentage of
last year’s team, pew and to a large
extent untried material will hare to

said, would not return this year, ac

ly at Fort Monrue for the football
season. It is said that the soldiers this
year will have the strongest gridiron
aggregation in the history of Old Point
and a schedule is being arranged
which will include geveral big games.
Tony Monroe, probably the best alt
round man at the fort, tvfii manage
the team, while lieutenant Oilllpsie
and Farnsworth, both former stars
on the United States Military Acad
emy eleven, will coach the eleven. Cor
poral Bresnahair will captain the team,
m the next few days the football man
will be taken into training, and it is
likely that the eleven warrriors will
be selected during the next two weeks.
