Notfolk, Va., Nov. 27.—The game here today, which A. & M. won from Washin^on and Lee by the score of 6 to 0, was played upon a rather poor athletic field before a crowd of five thousand people, the majority of whom were rooters from the A. and M. team. The weather was ideal from a football standpoint, the sky was ^>ay with clouds and a slight wind from tVie east. A. and M. won the toss and took the east goal, with a slight wind to their backs and at three o’clock Young, of Washington and Lee, start ed the most brilliant game seen in the south for many a day with a kick to Sullivan, who brought the ball back fifteen yards. The game was blayed brilliantly by both teams and the only error of judgment was made by Ar and M. taking chances with drop kicks and forward passes in the last quarter af ter they had scored six points. This ■was quickly stopped by Coach Green, w’ho sent in Osborn to replace Sulli van for a few minutes with the neces sary instructions to hi;; team. The mighty Miller the 250 pound guard of Washington and Lee was brought back and shot with all his might and bulk at the A. and M. line, only to go odwn without a gaiH. Although he was supposed to be able to rip through any line he was chucked todsy by McHenry and did not once tackle an A. and M. runner until after the scrimmage line was reached. Teimey was injured in the first quarter and was not again put into the game, un'.il the ball was in strik ing distance of the Virginia goal in the last quarter, when he limped out upon the field to replace Scarry, and in two rushes carried the ball over Capt. Miles for the lone touchdown. Sullivan foi* A. and M. was the star of the field and his passing on the forward passes was brilliant, as was also his winning and defensive game. Van Brocklin was always causing trouble for Virginia and once when the little red-headed quarterback broke through Washington and Lee’s line for a long run and was so sav agely tackled and whipped to the ground by tv.o Virginians that we on the side of the line thought he was probably out of the game, he turned on his side with the happiest smile on his face and was calling signals be fore his team court line up. Walace Riddick played a game of which he may be proud, and when his father said I want to find Wal lace to see if he is hurt he found the great, husky half-back on the shoulders of his college mates and Prof. Riddick’s query as to how he felt sounded like a joke. Capt. Hurt outplayed Capt. Miles throughout the game, and between the two for all South Atlantic tackle there is no doubt in the minds of tViOxSe v/ho rfay the game. Graham Anthony spoiled many plays for Washington and Lee and his work at halfback two years was an invaluable aid to him this year at guard. It is hard not to mention one man without mentioning all, and McDougal. Winston, Plyler, F^rder- ber and Little Seifert did all that was asked of them. Washington and Lee began the game by kicking to Sullivan, who brought the ball back fifteen yards. Capt. Miles, of Virginia, off side on first rush and A. and M. gets five yards. Tenney plunges through him for four yaids and Sullivan goes out side tackie for ten. Tenney gains four yards and A. and M. loses fifteen yards for holding. Riddiek gains sev en and one-half yards and on fourth dov/n kicks to Donahue, v/ho runs oack tell yards after dodging Ferder- ber. Young gai?!S five yards but loses ball on next down by a fumble on Washington and Lee's twenty-seven yard line. McDougal is hurt in the play. Tenney rushes, but no gain. Van Bfocklin goes around left end f:>r sev£>} yards. A. and M. fumbles and Barrov/ recovers ball for Wash ington iird Lee. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.

Down in Atlanta the modern host of Joshua went up against the citadel of the legalized social evil, and began to march about it daily, blowing rams’ horns—or what was the modern equivalent thereof,, daily newspaper advertisments. At first Jericho jeer ed. Then it mistrusted. Then it feared. Then the citadel collapsed. The Old Testament story was re peated once more. In truth the fall of Jericho is a word picture of human experience, wheh is every day illustrated. “This is the victory * * * even your faith.” The conquests of confidence are a daily occurrence in business, as well as in religion. It is an eternal law that Jericho fell before the trum pets of faith. “According to your faith be it unto you.” One reason more citadels of sin do not fall is because Christians sit cowering and complaining in their tents, making fear’s futile plans, instead of march ing forth to a confident assault, re membering that “the righteous are bold as a lion;” and that the promise is that one man shall chase a thous and. Let us go to Jericho and learn a lesson in ihs art of spiritual v/ar- fare. tlohIrfieDesht8etnffiutipu9 ta taoinn A FRESH START IN THE NEW LAND. There was nothing rash about the siege. The Israelites viewed the sit uation with deliberation. They sent forth their spies. They took all pre- cautons. They made sure of their orders. Because they had made ready they did not get panicky. It is the unprepared who go to pieces in an emergency. The end of one stage of their ma terial life had ceased. Jordan had been crossed. The manna had ceas ed, New responsibilities had come upon them. Hanng become men they put away childish dependence. Hence forth they must maintain themselves by the fruit of the land—which in cluded Jericho i The person who wants thep rivileges of manhoo'd with none of its responsibilities and tasks has really never grown up. This new era was begun with a religious ceremony, even as many newly married folk set up their home with a little service of dedication. Wise are they w’ho fare forth to great service, with an act of dedication. “If thou goest not up with me, carry me not up hence.’’ The altar of worship and service should be at the begin ning and the center of every life and there were a better recognition of the home. More Jerichos would fall if part of God in their overthrow. THE CITADEL FIRST. Ali Canaans have their Jerichos, which must be overcome before we can enter into possession. The land of milk and honey lies on the other side of the conquered fortress. The pilgrim must pass the lions before he comes to the Celestial City. Dif ficulties test our fitness. Life is but a task on which to try the soul’s sword. The new generation of youth who covet “easy money,” who want the world’s rewards but decline to pay its dues, are in a perilous case. The program for the conquest of Jericho, as laid down by Jehovah, was almost absurdly simple. For the host of Israel, led by the ark and the priests, were to march once a day around the citadel for six days, and seven times on the seventh day. They were to go in silence, giving no heed to the taunts of the warriors Ininy the walls. They were not to boast or to shake their v/eapons in defiance. Taunt was not to be answered with taunt, jeer with jcsr. A now fashion was introduced into v/ai’fare. Thi.s procession wa?> more lil'.e ?, religious cercinony than r military ;:iege. That was the Planner s idea; ti)e glory should go to God, and not to man’s prowess. The'priests led off in the steady march of the disciplined Israel ites. The ark was first. The symbol of Jehovah was given precedence. THE SILENCE OF STRENGTH. Can any one wonder that the thing got on Jericho’s nerves ?, The silence of the marchers was more terrifying than the familiar shouting of war riors. Already the fame of Jehovah’s dealings with Israel had tvirned the hearts of the heathen to water. Now this assumed silence spelled an un canny faith, “In quietness and con fidence shall be your strength.” The event recalls the apostolic word. “Be ambitious to be quiet.” Which Carlyse puts into a thunderous injunc tion, “A little more silent, please.” The last day in the camp of Israel appeals to the imagination. Every body was keyed to the highest pitch. There was little sleep for anybody. Happily, the order for the day re quired an early start for that seven fold march around the city—no small task, being a journey of 20 or 30 miler.. It was toward evening when a long blast of the rams’ horns sounded, and Joshua gave the expected word, ‘^^out! for jehovah hath given you the city.” What is that? Shout while the walls ar-e still up? “God hath given you the city,” though there it still stands in insolent devance? Yes, just so. That is victory by an ticipation. “This is the victory that overcometh the world, even your faith.” Read the thrilling dramatic nar rative: “So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets; * * the people shouted with a great shout, and the fall fell down flat.” Yes, it fell flat: God always does a complete task. It was not merely a breached wall, but a crumpled up and collapsed thing that the Israelitss could walk over. Here eater the wise modernists who talk about “other vibrations,” SUNDAY S LESSON GALLEY TW and point to the wireless telegraph as possible explanations of the mir acle. We now know that these forces have always been in the world; and God has often used natural agencies which were at the time incomprehen sible to us. But the point is that God uses them. “This is the Lord’s doings and it is wonderful in our eyes.” The how of it ali concerns^ us less than the stupendous truth that “God is on the field when he is most invisible.” Jericho was conquei’ed by the Jews and God working in God’s way. Ah, to be a marching private in the faith ful ranks, when God goes forth to war! OTHER WALLS THAT FALL. If anybody thinks the fall of Jeri cho marvelous, let him look upon greater marvels. See the early mis- mionary to China, crying with tears of despair, “0, rock! 0 rock! When wilt thou open to my Lord?” In our day we have seen the rock riven, and the Christian gospel go in to revolu tionary triumph. Higher, broader, older and strong er walls than those of old Jericho have fallen before our eyes. Consid er he caimibal isles that are now Christian communities, with better kept Sabbaths than we know in Amer ica. Recall old Korea, lately a heath en heimit nation; now a land of won derful spiritual experiences with peo ple thronging to study the Bible, at tend church and do persoiial Christian work. There never was such a day of Christian dominion today, With appropriateness is the facade of the Washington Terminal inscribed, “Thou has put all things under His feet.” Today as of old, “faith is the victoi’y.” God is having his way in the world. Well for those who march with Israel, rather than jeer with Jericho. to Asheville and Biltmore annually, Judge Carter said that if the 3,000 barrels which is the amount estifnat- ed, each barrel averaging four feet in height, were stacked one upon the other on Pack Square, there would be 150 columns as high as Vance monument, 20 columns as high as the Washington monument, 50 as high as the Bunker Hill monument and 12 as high as the Eiffel tov/er, the highest in the world. Judge Carter then made some equally interesting statements con cerning he records compiled of the three drug stores of the city which have sold whiskey on prescription, the owners and managers of which have been under heavy bonds for the past two weeks charged with viola tions of the law. The three drug stores received dur ing the 10 months period over 22,000 gallons of intoxicants, a little over 8,000 gallons were dispense on pre scription, leaving an overplus of 14,000, the overplus relating wholly to MacKay’s pharmacy and the Century Drug Store and its predecessors. s Burlington.

Asheville, Nov. 28.—Announcements made this morning by Judge Frank Carter, .sitting as a committing mag istrate in the investgaton ino alleg ed violations of the prohibition law in Asheville and Buncombe county, rel ative to the disclosures made by the records compiled of \%'hiskey ship ments into the city and county during the past ten months were of a rather sarling naure. The records of the Southern Railway Company for this period, he said, show that over 90,000 gallons of intoxicants were shipped into the county. He estima+ed ^iiat according to these records and figur ing on an annual basis, over 100,000 gallons of mtoxicants are shipped in to Asheville and Biltmore annually, and almost 110,000 gallons into the county. Of this total amount, Judge Carter estimated that 60,000 gallons are dis posed of by the large dealers with an approximate profit of $1 a gallon. In this connection, he said that the men novv charged with ^violating the law represent propei’ty in the aggregate of more than ^1,000,000, besides hav- ! iiig political and social position. He (.spoke cf the difiknlties of carrying I on an nvestigation against such de- isiidan'cs and incidentally congratu- j lated them that their interests are so jwell safeguarded, I Judge Cai'ter stated that the fact that they are being prosecuted does not mean that they are guilty, but in case they are convicted he fears that even the extensive power of the governor could not secure for them fair judgments, as there is not a judge on the bench of North Carolina who would have the ..temerity to impose road sentences. Some of those who heard these remarks of the court con strued the reference to “fair judg ment” as an ironical allusion to the statement of Governor Craig. Who ever is responsible for this wholesale traffic, however, merits a chain gang sentence as much as the small dealer, Judge Carter said. Judge Carter expressed the further opinion that if a judge could be found to convict men of such Wealth and political influence - and impose such sentences as they deserve, then the nice people of the community’' would pray the governor with one accord to commute such sentences to a pecuni ary basis. ■ Any pecuniary penalties that would be imposed in this inves tigation, he said, would not amount to 10 per cent, of the profits made by the defendants in this traffic.
