RAI.EIQH. N. C.. Oct. 10.—The
Georgetown University football team
stirred a row early Sunday morning
before leaving Raleigh by raiding the
lunch counter at the Union Depot,
taking a quantity of cakes and plea
and refusing to pay what the clerk
In charge demanded aa compensation.
It waa 1 A. M. The boys walked In
and called for some little things, and
when the clerk’s back was turned
they proceeded to help themselves in
short order to whatever was in reach,
especially cakes and pies under the
glass covers on the counter. The
clerk protested and had two teacups
and a big sandwich thrown at him
for his palna. The night watchman
Of the station was railed In, but found
that he could accomplish nothing.
The police were called In. Then, how
ever, there could be no arrests with
out warrants, and while the manager
of the lunch-room, who had been
summoned from hts home on account
of the row. was away getting the
warrants, the football boys boarded
their car and ieft town.
The manager of the team Insists
that the fault was largely with the
clerk In that he demanded more than
the things the boys took were worth
They offered to pay seventy cents, but
the clerk demanded in. claiming thnt
they really took as much as *4 or
)5 worth.

the exhibits of a very high order of
excellence. The Alamance county fair
at Burlington was also visited by Ma

WASHINGTON. l>. C., Oct. 10 —
The heavy George Washington Uni
versity team had one of the biggest
eurprises of it* life on Saturday,
when the plucky Fredericksburg Col
lege squad held them through Torty
minutes of play to a lone touchdown
and a score of 6 to 0. The weather
conditions were as bad as can he im
agined for a football game. The field
was miery and rain fell steadily dur
ing the whole eonteat, but it did not
dampen the ardour of any player.
Rowe kicked off to the Hatcheilte*

ball back twenty yards, in four min

on the three-yard TTne and then car

George Washington had the hail
within from one to five yards of the
Virginians' goal, but each time the
Hght Fredericksburg College line held
solidly and Caldwell would put out
of danger. Despite the light weight
of the linesmen from Fredericksburg,
they played a wonderful defensive
game, hut could not make consistent
gains against their heavy opponents,
and frequently before their backs
could get off the Hatchetites would
break through and throw them In

Strong Kicker?.
NEW VOUK, Oct 10—Give- ui
drop kickers! This Is the cry that
is now going up from the various foot
ball camps. Nearly every game thit
1 season has emphasized the fact that
under the new rules, the value of a
good drop kicker has been greatlv
enhanced.
i
Saturday’s games particular!)
pointed this moral. A long list ol
shut-outs were the losing teams came
almost within sight of a score, Ion
failed through the inability of a sure
to.-tj kicker, proved that hereaftet
the coaches will have to pay more
attention to this feature of the game
The new rule tireventing the push
ing or hauling of the men carrying
the ball by his team mates and which
cuts down Interference for the runnel
u> a negligible quantity, makes It ex
tremely difficult to advance the ball
bv rushing when a team is righting
stubbornly in the shadow of its own
gun 1 posts.
This weakness is so apparent thal
already there is a strong demand, in
which Mike Murphy Is taking tnr
i lead, for a change In the rules, mak
ing It necessary to gain but five yardi
on four down when within the Ill
yard line.
The rule permitting a player t<
return to the game after leaving n
jean be made to work a big advantagr
to a team that possesses a good droj
. kicker, for he can lie rushed inte
! the game at any opportune momenl
to try for a score from the field, and
i then replaced by another of greater

.Failure to Defeat Oborlin in Sat
urday's Game a Severe
Shock.
ITHACA. X, V.. Oct. 10.— Some
| thing npproaching real gloom per
vades the Cornell football camp to
day. Tlie nothing to nothing score
against Oberlin Saturday was a rude
shock to Cornell's followers, and serv
ed to dash the hope* that were en
kindled by Cornell's good work earlier
in the season.
I The Red and White line is the
greatest weakness, and unless it can
. be stiffened greatly the students are
speculating as to the havoc that trie
big teams will work against it. Coach
Reed blames it all to the fact that
the players have not mastered the
new style of pla>. but he hasn't ex

should be so much more, glaring than
that of other teams.

j Convinced that the time has come for

FAVORED BY SEW PLAN
Combination of Primary and Con-J

(Special to The Richmond Virginian.)
NORFOLK. VA.. Oct. 10.—While it
is universally agreed that the gen- t
eral primary would have been the
best method of nominating a candi
date for Congress by the Democrats i
of the Second district, the plan of a
combination primary and convention
as adopted by the district committee
is accepted by a majority of Demo
crats In Norfolk and this section as
the peat best thing, anil there has
been, but little fault found except by i
those who are opposed to the can
didacy of State Senator K. K. Holland,
of Nansemond county.
It Is admitted almost everywhere ,
in the. district thnt the plan to be
carried out In accordance with the
decision of the district committee will
give the Nansemond man a decided
advantage and that it will work
against both Voung anil Maynard.
In accepting the decision of the dis
trict committee the Democratic voters
who want a clean and honest ballot
declare that the combination primary
and convention method is much more
desirable than a convention to be
made up of delegatee from ward
meetings, where the wishes of only a
few of the voter* and sometimes
those who are not voters, are car
ried out. These ward meetings, they

with the protection that the district
committee has thrown around It.
leaves little ehance for fraud, and if
the five candidates who have entered
the race do not get what is coming
to them. It will be their own faults
In Norfolk it is believed that State
Senator E. E. Holland has the best
chance of copping the nomination and
his friends here are working hard
with that object in view. They ad
mit that the entrance of J. T Deal
into the race will take away a few
of the votes that he, would have se
cured otherwise, but they claim Shat
these fen votes will not be sufficient
to overcome his advantage in tho
counties and that he will have the
convention.
| Both the Maynard and Young
I forces are fighting Mr. Holland tooth
and toe-nail, and it is hinted by some
that the fight may tie so close and
bitter that a dark horse may at least
make his appearance and capture the
lilum. It is certain that the battle
will be an exciting one.
