College Much Interest In Game to Be Played With Carolina at Newport News) The ' Men Who . Are Beinc M'orkeU Out by Coaob Special to The Observer. . , , ; Lexington,. Va Sept 28. The candidates !or the Washington and Lea University football .team have beem hard at work for two weeks and some team work has already, been developed. . The equad is again in charge . of Robert R. Brown. liarthmouth, 02, who has for the pest three years turned out such wonderfully strong teams for Washington and Lee. Mr. Brown Is assisted in the coaching by Hugh Moomaw. '07, captain of ths 1800 eleven and for four years W. dc L.'s crack fullback. ' - Captain Alderson Is again at his old position of fullback and Is a tower of strength behind the tine. . Alderson weighs 175, is ast, a steady ground-gain er and during his for years at the uni varsity has played every position on the team except quarterbackT but found bis place last year at full. John Isard, ISO pounds, who played such a phenomenal game at quarter last season, may be used at half or en the end. , Wilson,. 165. who alternated with Offood, le again on the field and should make either a good quarter or end. Annentrout, 175, who played halfback lat year, until Injured, may be used at tackle this year. On bourn. 175, Is again at right tackle and may be counted as the strongest man in the line. Pines. ITS. and Morales, 190, designated last season as the best pair of guards In the State, are at their old positions, thoueh PiDea may be used at tackle. iPelter, 2, former guard on the Virginia Teen, who matricuiaiea oo mie last season, is out for guard and will doubtless make a strong linesman. So far the ends are a little weak, though Smartt, 1SS. a sub last year, will make a good showing and Bledsoe, another of lant year's nubs, may develop. Of the new ihaterlal Fuersteln, 14", who played a remarkable game for William and Mary College last season and es tablished such a record as a drop-klcker. is the most likely man for quarter on the field. He is fast, haa good staying pow ers and runs his team well. Ear-wood. 170. of Morris-Harvey College: Barnard. 160. of Norfolk Academy: Muse. 1, of the University of Texas, and Hobbs, ISO, of Randolph-Macon Academy, are all showing up well at halfback Harsh, 160. of Birmingham High School, has the making of a good fullback In him. end Weeks, 190, of Arkansaa Military Aca demy. Is working well at tackle. Dulln. 175. of Randolph-Macon College. Is being tried at guard, and Wolff, 195. of Roanoke College, la also out for the same position. Blackburn. 165. of last year's scrubs, is eo far the most likely man for centre, though It Is probable that one of the other lines men will be shifted to this position. Besides these men the scrub team is showing up well, and tbe coaches agree that the prospects for a winning learn were never brlglit.fr at W. sc L. Coach Rrnwn has always turned out fast, well- orKonlzed teams, with a defense that has not been equaled by any team that Washington and Lee has played for three years. With such material as this on the field, Messrs. Brown and Moomaw lave the chance of tnelr lives to snow what good coaching will do. Tho Mme with the University of worm Carolina lit, Newport News October 10th is being looked lorward to with a great deal of Interest by Btudents and alumni. Lost year the game was a draw and the White and Blue aggregation Is very anx ious to sive the Tar Heele a decisive drub bing, while, the latter, no doubt, are Just as anxious 10 ao inn ... Consequently, a fierce contest Is to be ex pected and the coaches will put the team through some hard i-ractlce during, the ensuing ten days. The most important game on inr wiieu- ule Is with the Virginia rou icnuuv. stltute October list. Since there are no Ioniwr games between other Washington and Lee or V. P. I. and the University of Virginia, this annual battle royal be tween the two first teams In the State Is always watched with keen Interest. Last year Tech won by the score of 5 to 0. their touchdown coming as me re.mv i a fluke. The hlggest game on .no ground. Is with the A. M. College of North Carolina November 14th. The game tn resulted In a draw, the score standing 4 to 4. and the teams did not meet In 1907. , . Relow Is the schedule as announced by Or-dulla ! Manager Smith and Student Mansger LyKf.

Sept - '21. The Academy of Music In this city x was the scene of a remarkable demonstra tion, af the close of Thomas Dixon, Jr's. latest play, ."The Traitor. which was presented .to-night for the first time -on any' stage. . Just -before the climax f the - last act a telegram arrives In the nick of-tlme from Presi dent U. S. .Grant extending freedom to the Ku Klux prisoners. The tele gram, which-Is historic, " concludes with "My wife -Is a Southern woman. Give my love to her people." When the message was read, Dan Wiley, a mountaineer North Carolina charac ter in, 'The Traitor," gave the famous rebel- yell and called - for cheers for President Grant. Instantly answering yells and cheers came not only, from the players on the stage but from all parts of the Immense audience. The final curtain fell on the scene and the spectators. Instead of leaving their seats, remained - In their places for several minutes and continued their vociferous applause. The play had scored an electrical success, indeed. Its triumph was never In doubt for a single instant In this play the striking , events and situations follow each other in, swift succession. ' . The suspense of , the audience la maintained to- the 'last moment. . Tbe love interest is much stronger fn "The Traitor" than in 'The Clansman," and the negro comedy is more side-splitting: The negro problem Itself Is handled with much skill and lacks the extreme bitterness of the earlier play. Inci dentally, it should be stated that the dramatic representation of "The Traitor" is infinitely more fascinating man" the novel from which It was dramatized by Mr. Dixon and Chan nlng Pollock. The crush of spectators at to night's performance was so great that the fire officials were forced to sus pend the sale of tickets. There will be two more performances In Norfolk and already every seat is sold for the rest of the engagement. Manager Wells, of the Academy, has booked 'The Traitor" for an early return en gagement of a week's duration in order, to accommodate the neonin who were unable to secure seats during the present visit. Mr. Dixon was obliged to make a speech at the conclusion of the third act to-night He will accompany the play through the Southern territory.
