They Win a Hard-Fought Battle From Roanoke College. QUITE A LARGE CROWD WIT? NESSED THE GAME AT THE PARK YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. THE PLAYING WAS CLEAN THROUGHOUT AND DEVOID OF SCRAPPING. Then? was a very larme crowd at At? lantic Park yesterday to witness the foot? ball game between Roauokc College and V. M. I. The Institute boys were a little late getting on the field and after select? ing the officials the captains of the teams tossed up. Roanoke College winning the toss decided to protect the west goal with the wind at their backs. Promptly at 4:05 o'clock the refert-.e'a whistle sounded play and the great battlo had commenced. Montgomery kicked off for the soldier boys to Roanoke's 20 yard line, where it was caught by Wright and brouuht back five yards before downed. Ingles in two plunges makes one yard and loses one, leaving the ball where it was and on the next rush the college boys failed to make their live yards and the bull goes over to V. M. I. The- ball wa=, now steadily rushed towards Roan uke's goal until Marshall got the pigskin I and skirted the college boys' lett end for a run of twenty yards and a touchdown after four minutes of actual play. Stege: kicks an easy un il and V. M. I. is (> to the good. The ball was brought back to the center of the field and Heis? ter kicks off to V. M. I.'s 25-yard line and Is brought [hack 20 yards by Mar? shall. At this point V. M. I. is given 10 yards for olT-s^de play and after a few ruabea with no gains they resort to the quarterback kick, which is a dismal fail? ure, as Roanoke captures the ball, hut loses it on downs, V. M. I., after short gains, fumbled and it is again Roanoke's ball. By a series of short rushes, aiden by 20 yards for ofT-side plays, the ball is laid ou V. M. I. 's 45-yard line. The ball is now passed to Ingles, who makes a run of 45 yards without any in teiference and sccres Roanoke College's first arid last touchdown eleven minutes after V. M. I. scored theirs. Poindex tei kicks a idee goal, and the score now stands, V. M. I., (i: Roanoke College, G. Montgomery kicks off again, and for the rest of the half the battle wages fiercely to and fro and the struggling masses of bum\nity expend all their power to place the ball ut one end of the Held without avail. Time is called with the ball on Roanoke's 15-yard line in their possession. After a rest of ten minutes the fight started anew, but this time V. M. I. had the wind in their favor. After ten min? istes of fumbling, missing signals, poor kicks and general bad playing by both sides V. M. I. took a decided brace and ?ot possession of the ball in the centre of the field and rushed right, down to Roan? oke's 20-yard line, and here it was given to Rice, who scored a touchdown, from which Stedar kicked another goal, mak? ing the score 12 to (> in favor of V. M. I. after K5 minutes of play. Again Roanoke kicked off and V. M. I. fumMed, but regained the pigskin with? out advancing it any. V. M. I. skirts right end for 15 yards and after two or three rushes of no consequence they lost the ball on downs. Roanoke fumbles and V. M. I. yets possess on of the much coveted pigskin. The signal is then given for Marshall, V. M. I's plucky right half back, who takes the ball and makes the play of the game by making a run of 70 yards, dodging and passing three tack lers unaided and scores V.M. I's third touchdown after three minutes ot play. Steger again kicks goal and V. M. 1. is now 18 to Roanoke's 0. Again Keister kicks off for Roanoke College and the hall Is rushed down the field, mostly by Denby, who makes two long runs, one of 25 yards and one of HO. On the last run of SO yards he drops the ball when tackled and Roanoke se? cures it over her goal Hue and is downed there for a safety, making V. M. I. 20. The ball is then kicked off from 25 yard line and is brought hack by the ca? dets and when time is called they have It on Roanoke's 15 yard line. The u inejthronghout was one of the cleanest ever seen in this city and was de? void of all the scrapping and slugging that has characterized, heietoforc, the i foot hall played in Roanoke. The work ofV M. I. was mostly verv poor and rauired. as they had many fnm Ides and poor kicks scored against them. The feature of their play was the all round work of Steuer, Marshall, Shantr and Denby, and especially that of Denby und Marshall. The -?ork of Montgomery at quarter was exceedingly poor. Roanoke Colleue as a whole outplayed their opi:onenta,but tfOKE, VA., FRIDA they were found wanting at the most critical times. Inglea played a msgnifi* cent game while Bales also d'd well.

Now York, Nov. 11.?A Washington special to the Herald says: Senator Caf fery, of Louisiana, one of the most prom? inent anti-jingoes of the Senate, is now talking war, not that he wants it, but he fears the jingoes will brinir it on. In an interview he said: "l"do not see how war is to be avoided. With the jingoes in this country and the fools in Spain, it seems to me that trou? ble is sure to come." '"But you don't believe in war your? self?" was remarked. "Of course not," he said. "I am on the opposite side. I cannot imagine for a moment why we should embroil our? selves on account of Cuba. If we se? cured independence for the Cubans they would have revolutions four times a month, and if we undertook to anuex the islands we would find the cost greater than all the islands in the Carribeau sea are worth. No, sir; if the decision were left to me we would never light on ac? count of Cuba." "Then why do you think war is com? ing:-" "It will come, if it comes al all, through the vacillating policy of the ad? ministration. The President will try to please everybody, but presently he will find that the jingo pressure is the strong? est, and will be swept by it. If he un dertaKcs to throw the responsibility upon Congress there is no questiou as to the result. The Senate will pass resolutions of belligerency and independence and everything else with a whoop, for we have lots of warriors in the Senate, anil I do not think Reed will be able to hold back the House. "Outside of Congress, too, the war feeling is strong. In the South a hun? dred thousand men could be raised in a fo^' days. The low p'ice at which cotton is selling just now iscausimr general dis consent, not to say suffering, and men want another chance to reti ieve their fortunes In any way."

FROM ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT HE RISES TO THE VICE-PRESIDENCY, WHICH OF? FICE WAS ABOLISHED AT RE? ORGANIZATION. Philadelphia, Nov. 11.?On November 30 William C. Bullitt, who has been con? nected with the Norfolk sad Western Railroad Company for over fourteen years, will sever his connection with that compauy. For some time past Mr. Bul? litt has had this move under considera? tion. OwintA to certaiu changes proposed by the higher ofiiciais of the company, he at last decided to tender his resigna? tion. Shortly after the Norfolk and Western Railway Company, which is the reorgan? ized Norfolk and Western Railroad Com? pauy, begat, the operation of the road, the principal offices that wore located in this city were either removed to Roanoke, Va., or to New York. Mr. Bullitt, who is the trallic manager of the company, moved his ollice from the Walnut street bu'lding to the city freightotliceon Third street, north of Chestnut, ami ever since he has made this ins headquarters. some time ago there was a movement started to get him to move his otlice to Roanoke. Va. This ho would not do, and at that time bis resignation was tendered, but was not then accepter*. While thcro h.\s been no further move in this direc? tion, Mr. Bullitt has, however, decided to retire from the Norfolk and Western Railway Company. There is hardly a better known rail? way onVial either *)u the South or the Notch than William C. Bullitt. He la considered one of the liest trafflo men in the business, and some time ago the Joint Trallic Association were anxious to get him to co operate with it in getting the Norfolk and Western Railway Company into the association. While he was not against the Joint Trafflo ^Association, he thought It would be better for hia com? pany to remain neutral, which it has, and while it has not become a member of the association it abides by the agree? ment and only dllfers when It has prooe that there are other lines that are cutting rates. Mr. Bullitt entered *.he service of the Norfolk and Western railroad fourteen years ago as an assistant to the president ami gradually worked his way up until he became vice-pre?ident of the railroad company and at one time he was presi? dent of the Pocahontas Coal Company, which is a company connected with the railroad. ' A few years ago, when the company wont into the bands of the ro ceivgrs, the c dice of vice-president was done away with and Mr. Bullitt was made traffic manager. While, he was vice-president he practically was general manager of the company as well. When the company was reorganized and the name changed lo the Norfolk and Western Railway Company he retained his otlice as the trallic manager of the new company and has maintained thi? position tin the present time. This is the only railroad that Mr. Bullitt has ever been connected with, as prior to his entrance Into it he practiced law and for a time represented this city in the Stato legislature.
