Richmond, Va., Nov. 28. The Or ange and Blue of the University of Virginia trailed the White and Blue of the University of North Carolina in snow-made mud this afternoon to the enormous score of 66 to 0. Capt. Todd, of Virginia, made several sen sational runs, one of which was for a touchdown, while a first year man, Mayer excelled his teanmates by making five of the 10 touchdowns. It was a fearful slaughter, despite the excellent work of Capt. Tillett at half hack for Carolina and the hard work o: his men.

No v 28. -Carolina t as overwhelmingly defeated here to day by Virginia In the annual gridiron contest by the score of G6 to 0. This is the worst defeat the Carolinians have suffered in a decade. The, game was played on a wet, soggy field from which three inches of snow had been cleared only a few hours. Carolina was on the defensive. They were un able to gain a foothold and were pow erlesss before the heavy plunges of the Virginia backfield. - Captain Todd was easily the star performer of the day. . He was a con sistent groim&ugaifeer, - being. credited with tour 20-yard' runs, one of 40 yards and topped off the whole with a dash of 75 -yards-. -through the entire Tar Heel team for a touchdown. He wa-o closely pushed for the first lau iels by his running mate, Mayer, a irs:-year man. who by splendid gains hi ouch the yne made five of the ten to-.chdowns. Captain Tillett. of Carolina, played a great game. The majority of the tackles were made by him. - He was well backed up by the balance of the backfield, but the Carolina line failed to hold their opponents at" any -stage of the game, and were distinctively outclassed; On end runs Virginia had everything her own way, and executed five com plete forward passes for an average of 2' yards.

ENJOYING REST IN BERMUDA Present Trip to Little Archipelago Is No Different From the Former One, He Says Taft's Toast . Pleases Him Hamilton, Bermuda, Nov. 28. Woodrow Wilson has written a letter to William J. Bryan; inviting him to a conference after Mr. Wilson's re turn from Bermuda. The President elect wishes to consult with Mr. Bry an as one of the leaders of the Demo cratic party, but he will take counsel with a number of the other Democratic leaders also regarding his future pro gramme. It is definitely announced however, that Mr . Bryan is not coming to Ber muda, and that he has not beenjiivit ed to do so. After the Thanksgiving dinner to day, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson went driv ing and in the evening attended an amateur performance cf ' Our Mutual Friend." Being President-elect of the United States and being -merely Wood row Wilson, an American citizen in search of rest on a British island, do not differ in the slightest degree. Gov ernor Wilson was recalling today his previous vacations in the Bermudas when as president of Princeton Uni versity he sought rest and, quiet here. "It is not a bit different," he said. "Everything is the same as before. Many more people 'have called to be be sure, but I am having just the ind of vacation I wanted, with plenty of rest and exercise." Mr. Wilson did not have his family here ta previous . visits and he was not so DromineTtt a personage, but the people of Bermuda -took him atl niS' wora - wnen ne sara oe.uaiue iui rest, pure, and simple, and they have not bothered him in the least. In fact, the social diversions have been just enough to prevent his stay here from becoming monotonous. The Wilsons know some of the pco bere from previous acquaintance in the United States and the Wilson girls find it as easy to enjoy them selves as if they were at home. For the most part, however, they have been going about with their fath er, who is fond of ibicycling and walk ing. The President-elect varies his vacation pleasures with the days as they come. Often he sleeps a long time and occasionally on rainy after noons takes an additional nap. His correspondence is negligible in amount. His secretaries at home were instructed to send mail of only the most urgent character and to date they haven't sent a single letter. "Excellent discretion," was the Gov ernor's smiling comment when he told about it. The Governor says he feels greatly improved in health and as distant from the political whirl of the campaign as it closed three years ago instead of three weeks ago. Bermu da has brought hack the domestic side of life to the Governor and the best proof of its enjoyment is in a glimpse of the cozy parlors of the Wilson home, where each night in an atmos phere of books and companionship, the family group may be seen. The absence of newspapers makes the islands a particularly delightful place to the Governor. He admits that when he was thinking of a place from which to escape things political he thought immediately of Bermuda, not nnlv 'because politicians after being jsincerely warned would keep their distance, hut because even tne aauy newspaper does not invade the quaint stillness of the little archipelago. The lnral nauers are tri-weeklies ana con tain meagre cable dispatches, usual ly vptv little alxmt the United istaies. The Governor did not know until Tuesday, for instance, the result of the Vale-Harvard football game. As he is pleased with the absence of Information, though when the steamers did bring the newspapers he prnirnid them. One thing he-read which pleased him was President Taft's toast to him at the Lotus- Club dinner in New York. The President, in raising his glass to his successor had characteriz ed him as "an able, distinguished and 'patriotic gentleman. ."That's fine," remarked Air. wu son heartily, and his family who stood about at the moment showed their ap -preciation. It appears quite likely, that before the inauguration the President-elect and the President will meet in Washington. Governor Wilson will be passing through the capital on his way to and from the jubilee celebra tion at his birth place, Staunton Va.. on December 28th. If he does not stop at Washington on that occasion he will doubtless be there in Febru ary, when he may attend the dinner given by. the Gridiron Club at which President Taft is expected to he pres ent. Music at the Grand. The orchestra will render a special programme and Mr. Chick will sing by ; special request "Mother Machree" at the Grand Theatre today. 1 (Advertisement.) t Gets Decision Over Cham pion Wolgast in 16 th. Round on a Foul "WILD CAT" FLOORED ONCE Californian Knocked Champion Down In Final Round, But Lacked Strength for Finishing Punch Badly Battered Up San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 2S. Ad Wolgatt, lightweight champion pugi list, lost his title to Willie Ritchie to day in the lGth round of their fight at Daly City. In that .round Wolgast fouled Ritchie twice and Referee James Griffin awarded the fight to Ritchie. Wolgast, however, already "was a beaten man. His eyes were glaeed, his legs shaky, his whole body tottering " The end of the fight came after those at the ringside had noticed in the 15th round that Wclgast's strength seemed waning. At the beginning of the 1 Cth the beys f acd each other "with Ritchie confidently carrying the fight to his opponent. Wolgast look ed worried. Ritchie made him wince with a smash to the body and then shot a crushing right squarely to the jaw. Wolgast fell against the ropes and then retreated toward his corner. Ritchie -crowded him and a3 Wolgast raised his head, he right-crossed him and Wolgast fell sprawling. At the count of four, Wolgast, very groggy, got up and; came toward his antagonist. Ritchie, who "had crossed to the opposite side Of the ring, rushed to meet him and . they exchanged blows. Wolgast, though badly dazed, covered so that Ritchie could not send in the finishing smash. Only 24 seconds remained of the round. Ritchie, near iite own corner, made ready for. .the- right cross again when 'Wolgast's "left strnc?-:.' him low. Hundreds of voices raised the cry of "foul," and Referee Griffin cautioned Wolgast. In another instant the left glove of Wolgast struck low again. Ritchie tried to fight back, but was plainly in distress. Referee Griffin rushed be tween the fighters, pushed Wolgast aside and raised Ritchie's hand in token of victory Wolgast says he did not intentional ly foul Ritchie and that he thinks it is a poor way to win a championship. '"I didn't hear Griffin caution me and I do not believe I struck a foul blow." he said after the fight. "I would be willing to fight him again tomorrow." Ritchie protested that he was foul ed, but said that lie was strong and could have fnished Wolgast in anoth er round. The new lightweight champion's 'real name is Gary Steffen. A year ago today he made his first big forward stride when he substitut ed for the stricken Wolgast in Los Angeles and boxed 20 rounds with Freddie Welch. He is 21 years old and of German parentage. Betting Favored Wolgast. When time was called today for the first preliminary to the Wolgast-Rit- chie fight, a heavy pall of chilling fog hung over the arena, but the am phi theatre was jammed to capacity. There were several women present. Ringside betting was brisk, with odds fluctuating between 10 to 6 1-2 and 10 to 6. Wolgast was on the long end. A half hour before the principals were scheduled to enter .the ring Rit chie money was much in evidence, the short enders demanding 10 to 6. Man ager Nolan, Ritchie s manager, offer ed Tom Jones, wolgast s manager, $5,000 against $10,000, but the latter declined. Ritchie was the first to enter the ring. Wolgast followed a half minute lat er. Ritchie was the only one of the two principals that was given a sem blance of a reception. No time was lost in introducing the fighters. Referee Jim Griffin called the men to their corners and the ring was or dered, cleared and time called at 2:47 o'clock. Round One. Ritchie with the men fighting close, scored several times to the head and face before the champion essayed the offensive. They mixed fiercely in a neutral corner and the Californian scored the first 'blood as a result of a succession of short-arm blows to the mouth. Wolgast spat blood as he took his seat. It was Ritchie's round. Round Two. Wolgast opened the round with a rush. The champion kept well under cover and after deluging Ritchie with several left and rights to the jaw droVe two wicked rights to the jaw and left upper-cut over the heart. Rit chie broKe ground and Wolgast drove two telling -lefts to the stomach. The round ended with desperate in-fighting, 'Ritchie excelling. Wolgast's round by a , shade. Round Three. Wolgast drove a powerful left to, the stomaeh. His blows lacked direc tion, which- provoked comment. Wol gast drove two wicked rights to the stomach and a. right to the mouth, which started the 'blood. Wolgast al most sent his man through the ropes (.Continued on- Page Seven.) , Sergeant-at-Armslof U. S. Sen ate Dies as Result of an Operation; WELL KNOWN PUBUC FIGURE Col.

I Norfolk, Va., Nov. 28. On a field of mud. the football team of Washing ton & Lee University easily defeated the team from the Agricultural & Me chanical College of Raleigh, N. C, this afternoon. The score was 16 to six. The game was devoid of any notice able features beyond the fact that players on both teams were muddy from head to foot. A fumble by Mill er, of the Virginians, on the 20 yard line, permitted the Carolinians to score. But for an unfortunate fumble by Miller, captain of Washington and Lee, it is extremely doubtful if the Tar Heels would have scored at all. Few and far between were the spec tacular features. This was due to the muddy condition of the field which prevented any long runs and made the slime-epvered bajl a difficult thing to handle. In the opening peri6d, after each learn had found the other's line impregnable and had exchanged kicks, the Generals forced the Aggies to their 30-yard line, just before Jeffrey j had bucked through left tackle for 12 1 yards. On the next three plays the Tar Heels were unable to score los ing five yards for an tiff-side play. With no alternative, Champion called for a kick. Jeffrey tried to punt, but the Washington and Lee forwards broke through- their defense and blocked the boot.

London Suffragettes' Ingenuity Takes on New Form. London, Nov. 28. The ingenuity of the militant suffrage party has broken out in a new direction and in a man ner likely to cause inconvenience and loss to thousands. It took the form tonight of an organized raid upon the pillar letter boxes throughout the city of London, in the Westend and many of the suburbs and also in several pro vincial towns, including Birmingham and Nottingham. When the postmen went on their evening rounds to collect the letters they discovered in the boxes acids and black sticky fluids of various kinds, in spme cases inflammable. As a result of this, the addresses on the letters in a large number of cases were partly or wholly obliterat ed. Not an arrest had been made up to a late hour tonight, but police have been detailed to watch all the boxes. MARRIED YESTERDAY. Geo. Creel, of Denver, Weds 'Miss Blanche Lyon Bates.

AT CONFERENCE Especially Strong Sermon by Bishop Collins Denny During Morning AT GREENVILLE NEXT YEAR Jarvis Memorial Church Will Proba bly be Successful Proceedings at Fayetteville Yesterday Very Interesting. , ; (By Mamie Bays.) Fayetteville, N. C, Nov. 28. Tha principal feature of the second day of the session of the North Carolina Conference here was the Thanksgiv ing sermon of Bishop Collins Denny, which he delivered at the conclusion of the business session. The confer ence suspended business for the day at 11:30 o'clock in order to hear thia sermon, which Bishop Denny preach ed by special request of the body. The text which the Bishop used was Psalms 103 1-2, "Bless the Lord, O, my soul and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, 0, my soul and forget not all His bene fits." Throughout Southern Metho dism and the territory of other church es as well, Bishop Denny is recogniz ed as a man of marked executive abili ty, as a scholar, than whom his church has ndeater and as a preach er who possesses the gift of setting iortn his theme in a manner that is the result of careful study and experi mental realization of the truth pre sented; and possesses to a degree not attained by the majority of preachers of conveying clearly to others the full conception of the truth presented. It is safe to say that in no realm is Bish op Denny more at home and more highly recognized than in his pulpit minstrations and as preacher he ranks even higher than as executive and scholar. His sermons hear the stamp of the meat: scholarly. .research and. at . the s'ahie time' they' 4re --characterized by that simplicity of expression and medium of conveyance to the minds and hearts of his hearers which is al ways the stronghold . of the really; great preacher. The points of special emphasis in, the sermon of Bishop Denny today. were the Importance of the recognition and the giving of thanks to God 'on account of His goodness; and the ne cessity for the cultivation of the spir it of thanksgiving as well as that of petition as an important factor in the development of the spiritual nature of mankind. Rev. J. N. Cole led the prayer at the close of the sermon and Bishop Den ny pronounced the benediction. Conference Proceedings. The conference convened at 9:30 o'clock, Bishop Denny in the chair. Rev. A. P. Tyer, of Oxford, conducted the opening devotional exercises. Min utes of Wednesday's session were readand approved. Bishop Denny an nounced the reception of several com munications from general interests of the church and these were referred to the proper boards and committees without reading. Bishop Denny resumed the call of Question 22 : . "Are all the preachers blamteless in their life and official ad ministration?" Names of preachers who sustain the superannuate relation were called as follows: M. C Thomas, J. E. Thompson, A. D. Betts, T. J. Browning, G. D. Langston, T. P. Bon ner, T. J. Dailey, W. A. Forbes, J. Y. Old, and W. H. -Kirton. Having pas sed the examination these were con tinued in the same relation to the conference. D. C. Geddie, who sustained the su perannuate relation during the past year, having passed examination of character, was recommended for ac tive work the coming year. Question 2 was called: "Who are continued on trial?" Answering this j question, " the following members of the class of young preachers received on trial in the conference last year, passed examination and were advanc ed to the class of the second year: Robert G. Lee Edwards, Robert Elijah Pittman, Nathan Bradley Strickland, Rodger Huntley Hasty, James A. Mor ris and Charles E. Vale. John W. Frank, a member of this class, having passed the examination of character, but not having passed the committee of examination, was continued in the class of the first year. Shockley J. Kilpatrick, a member of this class, passed the examination of character, but did not appear before, the committee of examination and through his presiding elder, he pre sented to the conference a request to be discontinued and this was granted. A similar request was presented the conference from Doctrine H. Read, a member of the class of the second year. He passedxaminatlon' of char acter, but did not appear before the committee and he was discontinued at his own request. The granting of this request to these two undergradu ates answers minute question 3, "Who are discontinued?" Question 4 was called, "Who are ad mitted into full connection?" Answer ing this question the following under graduates having passed examination of character were advanced to the class of the third year and were rec ommended for full admission Into the, conference: Jesse Marvin Ormond; Lewis D.
