be watched with re-v
ballists in this siite and throughout
the south.
Pennsylvania belongs to the "Big
Four," as the four strongest colleges
In the north are termed. So, of course,
there may be little chance of Carolina
defeating the team representing that
-b xa, H .in ., th.
game with the determination to piay ,
for all they are worth, and this spitit ;
w ill undoubtedly serve in a great meas- j
ure to keep the score down at least. 1
Should the locals succeed In ho ing j
Pennsylvania to a score of three or
four touchdowns they will play a good
game, when one takes into considera
tion the strength and standing of the
Quaker eleven. Coach Warner has
worked hard the past week with the
team, and there is marked improve
ment in both the defensive and of
fensive work. The men are in fairly
good condition, so a good game and a
close score will probably result from
their efforts.
The Carolina Varsity team Is expect
ed to line up as follows, though this
forecast Is subject to changes:
Parker, center; Seagle, right guard:
Gardner, right .guard; Story, right
tackle; Abernathy, left tackleT Brown
or Singletary, right end; Townsend,
left end; Sadler, quarterback; Rober
son (captain), fullback; Winborne, left
halfback; Snipes, right halfback.
The following substitutes were taken
on the trip, and it is likely that sev
eral or all of them will be used -in the
game: Mann, Snipes, Thompson, Mead
ows, Wright, Trayler.
This game is interesting because it
will afford followers of the 'game an
opportunity to compare the relative
playing merit of a representative
northern team and of one of the lead
ing so'ithern teams.
A reception was. given by the faculty
of the University in Commons Hall last
evening from 9 to 11 o'clock. This was
the regular University Day reception,
given, by the faculty in honor of the

bureau of insular affairs today received
tbe periidicrl deluge of Manila papers.
Or.c of them, the Cable News, dated
September 9, in discussing possible
changes in the Philippines commission
had the following today concerning
Gcverncr Wright:
"Of. th- Americans Governor Wright
gocs home in two months. He intends
to return. He is deeply interested in
tho material prosperity of the islancfs

MitVn eighteen months."
T'ils is r.ll th? information the bu
reau of the war department has on
Goveircr Wright's proposed resigna
tion, and offlciDls of the government do
not doubt what it reflects Governor
Writhe's t-u? intentions. The paper
was published some time after Sec
retary Taft left Manila and It Governor

Still Harping on the Matin's Story
Berlin Oct. 13. The house taday wai
extremely depressed owing to the pub
lic disquiet over the Matin's state
ments. A mailt ry of tho newspapers
continue to teirin th widest language
tho story, of Gieat Britatn's a'.leged
readlncs to land English troms in
German territory to aid Frame.
They insist that Great Britain be
compelled to give an -official explana
tion of the story. Some of the news
papers which at first ignored to the
story or passed over it lirhtly now treat
it seriously.
The government has made no state
ments in any form, but it is learned
semi-officially that It realizes 'that
England could not be expected to offi
cially explain a newspaper statement
issue in another country and it has
accordingly asked for no explanation.
It is not doubted, however, that the
report has been ir formally talked over
ry Jjntisn anc uerman diplomats. I
is validly ytattd that England has thus j
rcpudiat?d the story as an absudlty. J
ire storm raisea Dy the Matin fills
columns of the London papers. Some
correspondents at Paris and Berlin
represent the situation as serious.
German public rage centers on Great
I Britain's alleged offer to invade the
.fatherland. Nothing, says the Chron
icle's Berlin cor respondent will satisfy
. public opinion 'except Great Britain's
authoritative denial. The situation
which Is serious enough will be still
more serious If the Matin's statements
are not disavowed.

ernment as demanding a denial Erom

Tremendous interests are at stake.
Any amount of mischief has been

It is practic
certain that no action
will be taken by this government until
consideration. It is nqw believed that
all of the differences between the
United States and Venezuela will be
settled diplomatically, with no resort to
enforce upon' Castro any demands the
president may make.
-A high government official today ex
pressed the hope that the result of the
entire matter, will be entirely amicable,
and said he believed that it would be.
It is understood that Judge Calhoun's
impression of President Castro is much
different than the popular idea of the
South American executive. While in
Venezuela Judge Calhoun was treated
with the greatest courtesy, and it is
now belie ,d that President Castro
showed that he wishes to be on the
bt of term w th th- United States,
and that he is prpa ed to make con
siderable concessions.
The New York and Bermudez As
phalt Company is the principal matter
at s ake. The company wants its con-
j cessions back, and if Castro is in a con-
ciliatory mooa he may make another
grant to the company, although it is
not likely that" he will annul the de
cree of his supreme court, which can
celled the asphalt concessions. He will
probably find some other means of
bringing about an understanding.
