ROA*
V. M. I.
VICTORIOUS.
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

they were found wanting at the most
critical times. Inglea played a msgnifi*

CAFFERY EXPECTS WAR.
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."

MR. BULLITT
WILLJESIGN.
Traffic Manager of the Norfolk
and Western Railway.
FOURTEEN YEARS' SERVICE.
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.
