STRUGGLE BETWEEN BIG FOUR NOW BEGUN Harvard Engages Pennsylvania Eleven and Utterly Routs It. The secret to the play Is for the quarterback to pass the ball to the halfback, who, Just as he reaches the line, turns and strike side play, and this brought the ball to the Syracuse four-yard line.

Weekes then, with one of his famous hurdles, landed the bu over for a touchdown and Morley missed the goal. With the score tied at five points for each side the Salt City men seemed to be imbued with renewed energy and soon landed the ball in Columbia's territory. Henderson, Brown, O'Neill and Boland did some clever work right here with the result that by good lntereference Brown scored a second touchdown, amid the wildest enthusiasm on the part of the Syracuse visitors who kept up a continuous cry of "Syracuse," "Syracuse." Boland kicked a goal making the score 11 to 5 In favor of the visitors. The only change In the Columbia line-op in the second half was the substitution of Whltwell for Angell. There were several delays owing to players being Injured, but most of those temporarily disabled were Columbia men.

It was seen that the visitor were decidedly in the better physical condition. Darkness set In before the game was finished, and it was Impossible to see some of the plays made Just prior to the call of time, but the ball was in Columbia's territory when the second half was completed.

There were only a few minutes left to play, and it was evident that the viiiton intended to strain every nerve in aa effort for another touchdown. Short rain were made around the ends, and then a double pass was signaled for. Collier and Mallery were the men who engaged in i and with splendid interference the latta raced down the field 55 yards for a touchdown. It was a play that the varertj-should have been looking for.

Paig kicked out and Cronkhite kicked th goal. On the last kick-off of the first half, Rochester booted the pigskin to Union'! ten-yard line, and Union advanced it ta the forty-yard mark, losing it on a fumble. Rochester's offensive machinery just reached working order when time wai called. Score, Union 11, Rochester 0. In the second half, Union kicked off ta Rochester's lO-yard line, where Osterhoudt picked the ball up and started down the field for a 60-yard run.

He might have made the touchdown, if he had not stumbled. Gladwin and Zimmer were used to carry the ball along about twenty yards, and then there was a fumble, which Zimmer retrieved by falling on the ball On the next line-up the ball was awarded to the visitors on downs at their own 25-yard line. Right end was tried for a 15-yard gala, and three were chopped off left A yard kick was resorted to, and Rochester downed tho ball on the center lire.

INDIANS MAKE MIDDIES WORK. Annapolis Does All Its Scoring in Second Half and Wins Out. Annapolis, Nov. 9. In the football contest to-day between the Carlisle Indians and the Naval Cadets it seemed in the first half as If the Indians would carry off the honors, but the navy won out by the score of 10 to 5.

Belknap began the game by kicking off, and Johnson ran the ball back twenty yards. The Indians used the right and left formation with the guards right and left of the line alternately, and through this play they would tear through the navy's line for repeated gains from three to eight yards. The Indians worked the ball to the forty-yard line, and by a double pass Johnson ran this distance for a touchdown. The ball was punted out, but Hare failed at goal. The navy had the ball but once In this half and could not advance It.

Time was called with the ball in the Indians' possession on the navy's thirty-yard line. Carlisle completely outplayed Its opponents In this half. In the second, however, the navy started in to redeem itself. Carlisle kicked off to Strassburger, who made a great run of forty yards. Here the Indians forced the navy to kick.

The ball bounded back of Carlisle's goal, Johnson falling upon It, and fumbled, allowing Deal to score. Freyer kicked the goal. On the next kick-off Weaver ran twenty yards. Here the Lavy put up good offensive work, tearing through the line and encircling the ends for good gains. Land scored the next touchdown, but the goal was missed.

Carlisle kicked off again and after a few rushes Freyer made a twen-ty-flve-yard run around left end. Here the navy was forced to kick. The Indians worked hard to score again. They brought the ball to midfield, where Johnson worked a double pass and ran to tho navy's five-yard line before he was downed. The navy showed Its best defensive work here.

Belknap kicked to Johnson and the navy secured the ball on a fumble. After good end runs and plunges by the navy backs, the ball was rushed to the Indians' three-yard line, where Nichols was pushed over for the last score. The goal was missed. Both teams played a fine game on the offensive, but were evenly niatehpd on the defensive. Line-up: NAVAL CADETS.

VISITORS PUSHED HARD U. OF R. MAKES UNION PLAY ITS BEST TO WIN. MALLERY'S GREAT WORK Union's Becks Form Invincible Combination, and VV ith Aid of Strong Line, Get Plays Away So Fast Varsity Cannot reak hem Up -Many I limbics Mar ell-Played Ciame. Lightning-fast formations, perfect interference, clever generalship, crisp and snappy play, combined with a decent advantage iu weight and experience, enabled Union University's football team to defeat the eleven of the University of Rochester yesterday by the decisive score of to 5.

Rochester Avas not outclassed in any way. It was simply a case of the survival of the fittest. Rochester's lino was like armor plate at times, but Union's held once or twice when to hold meant to win. Rochester's backs were fast, but Union's were faster at opportune moments. Rochester's interference whipped into line splendidly, but that of the Schenectady men was in evidence at the right time to get for their team two touchdowns by means of two sensational runs of half the length of the field.

The supporters of the varsity were confident that their team was going to hold Union down to a very narrow margin. One man, in a position to judge of the ability oi Rochester's team, predicted that the score would not go above six point I either way, while others placed them selves on record as of the opinion that the varsity -would win. Union would not have been greatly surprised if thirty or forty points had been piled up on the local collegians, so that th? expectations of neither side were fulfilled. Union had all the best of it at the opening of the game. Their backs were to the wind on the line-up, and they faced down the slight slope which mars the campus gridiron.

But for an off-side play they would have scored within the first five minutes of the game, and, as it was, their captain crossed Rochester's goal line just after eight and one-half minutes of play. Rochester had a good show for scoring soon after that, but a fumble by Lawton lost twenty yards and Union followed this advantage up with an dash for another score. There was a lot of punting at tho first of the second half, and a fumble on the part of one of the Union backs, combined with some marvelous charging by Baxter and a great slide for the rolling ball by Zimmer, gave the varsity a touchdown. L'uion scored twice after that. There was, almost without exception, a most desirable amount of good feeling between the men engaged in the game.

One man on the visitors' team had no nose-guard, and he was needlessly irritated by his Rochester opponent. Lawton gave evidence several times of having lost his temper, but the game was cleanly played and squarely lost. The linesman for Rochester appeared to be afflicted with a desire to maneuver the apparatus without assistance from the referee. The work of Mr. Mair, of Boston, who acted as referee in the first half and umpire in the second, was brilliant, and of great value to the players and the spectators.

Dr. Cora-fort, tho other official, was in his usual good form, although it was claimed by the Union team that they were held for downs on Rochester one-yard line, as a result of his skipping a down at that time. Of the twenty-four men who were in the game, the work of Mallery, left halfback and captain of the Union eleven, was conspicuous for its consistent excellence. After a series of heartrending line-bucks and end runs commencing at Union's lino and continuing all the way down the field, it was Mallery who crossed Rochester's line for the first touchdown of the game. Then when the ball was Union's at the center of the field it waa Collier and Mallery who worked a double pass that for neatness and dispatch could not be surpassed, and it was Mallery who ran fifty-five yards through a field full of Rochester players for the second touchdown.

In the second half again it was Mallery who skirted Rochester's left end, where the agile Zimmer is guardian, and dashed sixty-five yards for Union's third touchdown. Careful and quick and clever is he at all times, and a player of whom any team might be proud. It is probably due as much to the quick ness of the Union backs as to the perfection of the Union interference that the visitors made their long runs. Be that as it may. it is certain that a better combination of muscle and brains than Mallery, Uuluae, Paige and Cronkhite would be hard to find.

The latter, Union's quarter, has marvelous quickness and accuracy, which it is a pleasure to watch. One of Union's tackles, Fianegan by name, made one of the finest plays of the game when he broke through the line for a 20-yard dash, exhibiting a form of prowess and agility quite unlocked for. Griswold's quick work at the of the game in snatching the ball on a fumble and rushing it over line, added point to th score where they were not needed. Although Rochester lost there is little to say in criticism. The team was beaten because it was not the best team, and the reasons why it was not the best team cannot be discussed at length in this article.

Burtiee it to say that weight and experience were all against the varsity eleven. Uniform iu the excellence of their work were Osterhodt, Zimmer, Tolbcrt, Gilbert, Gladwin and others. Baxter never failed to take the ball for a gain when he overcame his tendency to run too far out. His blocking of Union's attempted kick Union's five-yard line, was without exception the best piece of work of the entire game, in that it was the direct means of bringing tho losing team its only score. It manifested great practical football ability on the part of the man who did it.

Baxter is fully de- 1 sorvinj the title of the backbone of the varsity eleven, in his present form. Zim- mer, who raced with a ton of humanity for he pigskin when Baxter's back turned Paige's kick aside, and, falling on it with dmost incredible agility, scored Rochester's i iily touchdown, will probably rank as the 1 'it-ro of the game, so far as the varsity is oncornod. His play deserves all the cred-t which can be given it. Fields, who took s-terhodt place, did well. Gladwin distinguished himself as a thor- mghly reliable man early in the game, and his steadiness is due much of the 'round-gaining which the varsity aecom- lished.

Tolbert and the others did their mrts faithfully and well. The only un- fortunate part of the play was the fum-1 WEST POINT HOLDS TTPFftS Tl) A Tip llULlW 1U 1 1 Army Again Demonstrates Its Fit- ness to be Classed Along ith the Best- Columbia Experiences a Most Humiliating Tumble, Syracuse Taking Its Measure Properly Yale ets Nothing Mote Than a Little Practice Out of Its Game With Orange A- While Cornell Plays Along the Same Line-, Lehigh Being Totally Unable to Oppose the Ithacans' Rushes -Navy ins Over Carlisle Games in the West.

Quaker Eleven Nowhere In Game With Cambridge Team. Philadelphia, Nov. 9. Harvard to-day, on Franii'u Field, administered to the University of PennsyJvanla one of the most severe defeats the latter has experienced since she has been la the front rank in the football world. The final score was Harvard S3, Pennsylvania 6.

Harvard scored twenty-two points In the first and eleven in the second half, while Pennsylvania scored six points in the first half. This single touchdown was a gift of Marshall, Harvard's quarterback. Reynolds kicked th ball to Harvard's twenty-yard line, vhere Marshall fumbled It. Mitchell gathered It in and ran about twenty yards for a touchdown. After this Pennsylvania's chances of scoring couid never be considered seriously.

Once It was near enough to Harvard's goal to try a goal from placement, but the ball went wide of the mark. Pennsylvania's efforts to advance the ball were really distressing. No better proof of this is needed than the fact that during the entire first half the red and blue ODly gained four first downs, whllfe Harvard gained twenty-seven. The rudimentary principles of football were conspicuous by their absence from Pennsylvania's play. The visitors were visibly affected with rattles during the first few minutes of play, but when they struck their gait it was only a question of the proportions of the score.

Strangely enough Captain Campbell was responsible for the majority of Harvard's penalties In tte early stages of the contest. Several times during the first few minutes of play he was off-side and one of his offenses would have cost a touchdown had Harvard been playing against a first-class team. I point of fumbling both teams were about equal, but Pennsylvania was penalized three rimes to Harvard's once for off-side. The chief offender la this respect for Pennsylvania was Mitchell who took Plekarskl's place. Never has so much feeling been shown In a game between these big universities as was manifested this afternoon.

There were numerous slugging matches and near the close of tha game Umpire Dashlell ordered Jordan out of the contest. Gardiner, who was acting captain for Pennsylvania, pleaded with the umpire bet the latter was obdurate. Captain Campbell finally consented to allow Jordan to resume his position. Harvard's first touchdown was due to a fumble by Teas. Ristlne.

for Harvard, fum- bled Reynolds's kick and Pennsylvania got the ball on Harvard's eight-yard line. On I eight-yard line. On the first llce-up Teas struck the center, and dropped tie ball, a Harvard man falling on It. By this time the Harvard men had gotten rid of their stage fright and they went at the Pennay'vanlans with a vengeance. The carried the ball the entire length of the field without ones- losing It, Graydon, Cutts nd Putnam doinj nearly all the ground gaining.

On the tackle-back play Cutts went through th Pennsylvania line with apparent ease, and then Graydon would vary the monotony by hurdling tha line or Putnam would tear off a few yards around the end. It apparently mad no difference where the attack was lmed. It was Invariably successful. Ths second touchdown was but a repetition of th first, except that Harvard car-Tied the bail from Its twenty-five Instead of eight-yard line. Where the greatest difference to the play of the two teams was noticeabls was In the tackling, Harvard's men went low and tackled fiercely, while the Pennsylvania players would grab at the crimson men's headgear or tackle them around the neck.

The Pennsylvania's team was much lighter than Uai. varl, but even this cannot be taken as an excuse for the miserable tackling. Poor Judgment was also manifest in the running of the Pennsylvania team. The new play which Coach Woodruff had evolved will not revolutionize football, as claimed by the Inventor, it was tried only twice during, the entire game and both times falftd miserably. i i a tne PPosinS foards with his back.

At this juncture the other halfback comes alcnir. and, taking the ball, dives Into the line In the same manner. Bt the time this second halfback got into the line to-day he was dofn beneatb thonsand pounds of Harvard did not attempt to use any tricks, It was unnecessary.

West Point Plays a Great Game Against Old Nassau, Score Ending in a Tie. West Point, Nov. 8. The football game here between the West Point and Princeton teams resulted in a tied score, 6 to 6 and the puiuis were all made In the first half of the game. There were 10,000 persons in attendance, and they witnessed one of the fiercest and mom exciting contests ever played on West Point Field.

To-day's achievement perhaps places West Point among the leadlug football teams of the country. At the start of the game to-day, Princeton kicked off. Phipps promptly caught the ball and rushed it back twenty-five yards. On the next play West Point rushed through Princeton for twenty yards more, but then lost the ball for holding. Princeton opened up Its attack in splendid shape and showed wonderful aggressive abil-Ity.

The ball was retained in West Point territory for just ten minutes, when Pearson was forced over the soldiers' line for a touchdown. DeWitt kicked an easy goal. In the next formation West Point braced up somewhat, and the playing was done almost wholly in Princeton's territory. Daly and Farnsworth fairly walked away with DeWitt, nearly all the plays being made through htm! The ball was gradually forced toward Princeton's goal line until Phipps was pushed over for a touchdown. Daly kicked goal and the score was tied.

Five minutes later time was called. In the second half the ball was several times nearer West Point's goal line, but the sturdy cadets succeeded in forcing it back. The ball was punted and rushed back and forth through the entire half, and when time was called It was In the center of the field, leaving the score at the end 6 to 6. Line-up -WEST POINT.

ly Outplays Sanford's Proud Eleven. New York, Nov. 0. Thi football team of the Syracuse University played a splendid game against the Columbia University eleven at the Polo grounds this afternoon, and won a hard and cleanly fought battle on the grid iron by the score of 11 to 5. mLT 1 P'd clean fast ball.

As the result shows, Columbia should have put forward Its strongest team, and the absence of Smith and Klngden was in no small way responsible for the Inglorious defeat. In the first half the up-state men held the local players twice for downs, and In the second half held them once, while Columbia only held the Syracuse kickers once for downs during the game. Brown, Henderson, Morris, Boland and O'Neill were the stars of the visiting team, and Moore also did a fair share of good work until he was Injured early In the second half, his placing being filled by Brane.

In the first half, by a series of end runs made by Henderson, Brown and Wlkoff, the ball was carried to Columbia's two-yard Hue, from which point Brown was shoted over for a touchdown off which Boland failed to kick goal. Weekes, Berrien and Duell distinguished themselves In the second half for Columbia, and after Moore was carried off the field the Columbia men began to pick up. A return kick from Berrien was muffed by Morris and this alone was responsible for Columbia's scoring. Shortly after this error, Columbia was advanced ten and Ave yards respectively, for oft-1 Lehigh Never a Factor in Game on Percy Field. Special Dispatch to Democrat and Chronicle, Ithaca, Nov.

IK Cornell played horse with Lehigh on Percy Field this afternoon and the iinal score of 31 to 0 1 hardly indicates the respective merits of the two teams. The men from South Bethlehem were never a factor in the contest and it was not until the middle of the second half that they first made their required five yards. The Ithacans entered the contest with six subs in the liue-up, Smith, Taussig, Brewster, Purcell and ochoellkopf being on the side lines and Captain Warner ia New York city. Toward the middle of the last half, Smith and Purcell went in and took a prominent part in bringing the last twelve points to the red and white. Quarterback Finucane acted as captain in the absence of "Pop" Warner.

It was almost 3:15 o'clock before the team spread out for the kick-off. Finucane won the toss and elected to defend the east goal with a stout wind against him. Coffin kicked off to Farabaugh, who came back fifteen yards from his ten-yard line. The "guards-back" of the Quakers was tried, and failing, Fuller kicked to Finucane on Cornell's forty-five yard line. The visitors scored the ball on a fumble.

The Cornell line held and Fuller attempted to punt. Lueder broke through and blocked the ball. It was Cornell's ball in midfield, but after gaining twenty yards on half a dozen plays the Ithacans lost the oval on downs. Fuller again punted and the ball -was fumbled on Cornell's forty-five yard line. Cornell braced and held for downs and the tearing-up process began.

Coffin came out fifteen yards to midfield. Sbepard made ten around Hemphill and the two halves alternated in making five yards each around the ends. Coffin, on a delayed pass, shot past Hinckle for fifteen more and the ball was on the visitors' twenty-five yard line. Three line brought it to the five-yard line and Shep-ard skirted the end fir the distance. Collin missed a difficult goal.

Fullar again kicked off and Finucane brought the ball back twenty yard. Lehigh got it for holding in the line and on an offside play and two small gains had the ball on Cornell's twenty-five yard line when Finucane got it on a fumble. Collin and Shepard alternated in skirting the ends and without once losing the ball it wan carried over the intervening eighty-five yards for a score. Shepard made the touchdown and Coffin kicked the goal. Before the close of the half Kent blocked an attempted goal from the field and fell on the ball.

When the referee's whistle sounded, the ball was in Cornell's possession on the visitors' thirty-yard line. Tha Ithacans opened the second half with a rush and in half a down plays scored. Hunt came back twenty yards on the kick-off to his thirty-five yard line. Coffin punted to Parsons on Lehigh's fifteen-yard line and on t' line-up Fuller kicked to Finucane in midfield. The quarter tucked the ball under his arm and by dodging and hurdling ran forty yards through the Lehigh team to its ten-yaTd line.

Chi two mass formations Hunt went over for the score. Coffin kicked the goal. On the line-up after the next kick-off. Coffin punted to Parsons on the visitors' ten-yard line and Lueder threw him over the line for a Lehigh here took a brace and three times in succession after Cornell returned to kick off, the men from Pennsl.vvania made their five yards. The Ithacans were forced to dig for their next score and it was not until Purcell had replaced Shepard and Wand had given way to Smith tha the score was made.

Coffin and Finucane had been taken out and as Brewster was not in the game Lueder tried for his first goal. The attempt -was successful and the score was twenty-five to nothing The final touchdown was made after thirtv-yard runs by Purcell and A. H. Warner and a twenty-yard line plunge by Hunt Lueder kicked the goal and the final was Cornell 31, Lehigh 0. Line-im-CORNELL.
