By a single safety, W. J. defeated Dickinson this afternoon on a muddy gridiron. The "game was played in a driving rain, broken by outbursts of sunshine, and during the whole game a high wind was blowing from the western, end of the field. W.

J. out-played the visitors, who had the ball on the W. J. side only twice during the whole 00 minutes' of play. Time after time the locals would get the ball inside the Dickinson 20-yard line, but the Carlisle players would take a wondrous brace and recover the ball on downs with the exception of one time, when Price tried for a goal from the field on a drop kick and failed.

Captain Davis for Dickinson, after receiving the ball on down near his own goal line, alwaya sent it away from dangerous ground, barring the first time which came early in the first half. As he received the slippery ball, he dropped it for an instant. In a Hash two W. J. men grabbed him and hurled him between the goal posts, scoring a safety, the only two.

points in the game. Previous to the game a high wind sprung up from the West, and there were several showers which left hbout two inches of mud where the well-worn grass used to be. The ball quickly became soaked in the mud and little pools of water which dotted the field, making it hard to handle, but despite this the fumbles were few. The sticky gridiron prevented the end runs to a great extent, where speed was required, and it also interfered with punting, even Davis's punts being comparatively short to what they usually are. The local students were out with strong yells and new songs, and judging from the W.

U. P. came in for as much attention as Dickinson. The crowd numbered about Captain Davis won the tos for Dickinson and chose the west goal with the wind behind him. AV right kicked off to Davis, who planted the ball on the 25-yard line.

Skinner added six and Davis three. Then he sent a punt to Price, who made CO yards to the middle of tho field. Wright and AVimberly made 13 yards and Price went all the way to Dickinson's 10-yard mark. Wright, Dougherty and Price got only five yards in three attempts, and Dickinson took the ball on downs inside their 15-yat-d line. The pass to Davis went to one side and the ball slipped from his grasp.

Ho took it on the bound, but two of his opponents sent him over tho lines for a safety, making the only score of the game. Davis kicked from the 23-yard line. The ball went only 30 yards and Price regained half the distance. On Wright's kick from position Dickinson recovered the ball on their 20-yard line. Davis immediately got around left end for IS yards and Groke added eight and then three.

Dickinson" backs were thrown for losses and Davis punted, Smith recovering the leather on A 23-yard line. But Dickinson seemed to have exhausted herself and in the next scrimmage Captain James grabbed a. fumble and sprinted 50 yards to Dickinson line, prince, Winiberley and AVright advanced to Dickinson's 13-yard mark. Price lost five yards at right end, and Warren missed the forward pass, the ball going to Dickinson on her own 22-yard mark. Aain Davis placed his foot against the ball, sending it to Duftey.

Schallus, S5I5 Mollwood avenue, city. watch space: Carlisle, October 27. The practice for the Dickinson College football team for the week past has been very thorough. The preparations for the Washington and Jefferson game were of a specific character, designed to be applicable to the Washington youths' style of play. Captain Davis and Coach "Bill" Williams have had their heads together for a long time in the formation of some unique trick plays, which may likely be sprung for the first time against Lehigh on November 3, at South Bethelehem.

Davis had good ideas and takes a large proportion of the work on his shoulders, as a help to Coach Williams. It is Williams expectation that he will be able prety soon to gather unto Carlisle, at least before the State game, enough of graduate coaches to give State a little brain fag. What remains of the football season contains four bright spots for the Dickinson College football players to look at. Particular attention is being paid to the prospects for the State contest, due to be pulled off at Williamsport, November 17. Captain Davis.

Dickinson's big chief, has suffered some severe bruises around both knees, but his physicians have expressed willingness to let him continue in the game. Davis is a sticker at football and has the reputation of never hav ing been laid out by anything like a trivial injury. The makeup of the Dickinson team is very much the same as it has been for two weeks past. Coach Williams seems much pleased Ith the experiment of taking Fry from the back-field, and placing htm at right tackle, and moving Captain Davis from right tackle to half back. Davis is prety nearly the life of the Dickinson eleven.

Testerday afternoon at Exposition Park the Carnegie Tech School sprung a surprise to the local football enthusiasts by holding W. U. P. down to the score of 31 to 0. The lads from Schenley Park had been practicing faithfully all week for this gruelling contest, and the result was that every man on the team, was in the pink of condition and ready to play the game of his life.

Although up did not expect a regular runaway, they were certainly a surprised bunch when the whistle blew, indicating that the lirst half was over and that the score was 5 to O. The lone score of the tirst half came when there were but five minutes to play, the touchdown being made by Waduiil. The weather conditions were certainly anything but favorable, as a cutting wind, along with occasional flurries of hail, was continually raging. The crowd was not as large as had been expected, although a fairly good-sized throng was in attendance. The majority of the attendance was made up of students from the two institutions, who made the air ring with their college yells and songs.

During the first half the Tech boys were within striking distance of their opponents goal at two different times, but at this stage the W. U. P. line would take a brace and the result would be that the ball would go to the university team on downs. The field was in fair condition despite the rain which fell steadily for several hours before the contest commenced.

Fumbling was frequent on both sides, although Tech was the heavier loses, as their fumbles came at the most critical moments. Between the halves Coach Wingard called his men around him and told them 'exactly what he expected of each one in the second half, and the talking-to apparently had the desired effect, as in the closing half the W. 17. P. squad showed great improvement in all departments of the game.

During the entire game both teams confined themselves almost entirely to straight football, the forward pass being used only once. One of the peculiar features of the game was a 55-yard run by Turner, Wup's husky center. The play was pulled off in the second half, when W. 1. P.

held Tech and forced them to kick. Urling responded by punting to Turner, who ran 55 yards before being downed on the 5-yard line. Turner was given the glad hand. Dowling, the former Pittsburg High School star, played a brilliant game at right half for Tech. Foster, Urling and Ramp also played well for Tech, while Clancy, Banbury and Mackrell were W.

U. best ground gainers. After the gaxne the W. U. P.

rooter3 expressed the greatest dissatisfaction at the showing their team had made against their much lighter and inexperienced opponents, and the result may be that a radical change in the 'Varsity lineup may take place during the coming week, before Cornell is tackled at Ithaca next Saturday. The game with Cornell is of the utmost importance, and to make a favorable showing W. U. P. must use her best men and have them play football to the best of their ability.

The game was started at 3 o'clock with Zeig kicking off to Dowling on the 15-yard line, who returned the ball five yards before being downed. Urling and Dowling in turn failed to gain, and Henderson punted -to Clancy, who was downed without a gain. Zeig then kicked to Urling, who received the ball out of bounds. The ball was then brought in and Urling kicked past Boisseati, Urling recovering the pigskin and advancing it 10 yards. Urling then kicked to Boisseau, who fumbled tho ball, it being recovered by Borland, who made six yards.

Beacom made five, and Dowling failed to gain. The ball swayed back and forward from this time on without a score being netted until within five minutes of half-time, when W. U. P. had Tech forced almost over their goal line.

At this point of the game Urling attempted to punt the ball out of danger and the result was a fluke kick, the hall going about three feet in the air. The ball was grabbed by Waddill, who fell down, scoring the only touchdown of the tirst half. During the second half the play was more open and W. U. P.

had decidedly the better of their opponents. he score: W. P. Carnegin McCormiek L. Borland Waddill L.

Two thousand delighted enthusiasts availed themselves ot the beautiful hardwood floor, which was indeed a revelation in that line to Pittsburgers. Long before o'clock the crowds began to come iato the place and manv expressions of surprise were heard at the wonderful changes that have been wrought since the close of the Kxposition only a week ago. Kverything that would tend to the comfort of the patrons wos carefully at tended to by the management under John J. F.eil, champion roller skater of the world. Fifteen hundred skates of the latest improved ball-bearing type were pressea into service last night and gave the best of satisfaction.

Nirella's band furnished a popular musical program that did much lend pleasure to the occasion. Smoking rooms for the gentlemen and ladies' par lors nave oeen provided by the management and ample provisions made for taking care of the wraps of the skaters. A competent corps of instructors wos on band last nigm to assist the beginners.

Mc-Cormick's last kick went out out of bounds on Cornell five-yard line. Mc- Cutcheon punted out of danger to E.

In as pretty a pame as has ever been Been on a gridiron, Princeton took Cornell Into tow at the Polo Grounds this afternoon by a score of 14 to 5. Abounding in spectacular plays that at times fairly raised the hair of the spectators, the contest proved one thing beyond all doubt the wisdom of the changes made in the rules which have given the sporting world practically a new game. It also demonstrated the possibilities of the open style of play when It shall have been brought to a hitrher stage of perfection, an accomplishment which it is useless to expect a single season of practice will make possible. The score of 14 to about represents the relative worth of the two teams. The scni-a by halves, too, shows well the difference in endurance of the contestants.

In the: first half, Cornell clearly outplayed Princeton in all departments of the game except punting, Harlan with his long, low punts, outpointing Walders nd MeCutcheon. The half was really Cornell's, although Princeton's display of skill in executing trick and open plays nnd Walder's poor attempt at a goal left the score standing Princeton 6, Cornell o. In the second half the Tigers struck thoir real gait and played Cornell nearly off her feet. Several times Princeton was within striking distance of Cornell's line, but a fumble or foul play lost her the ball. A ground rule adopted for the game, gave I'rinceton two points, which under straight rules she was not fiuitled to.

This rule provided that if ihe ball should go behind the goal line a blocked kick it should count as a safety, no matter which side secured the ball. Princeton executed such a play chalked up the two points, although Cornell men got the blocked kick. One dij-play of unsportsmanlike conduct occurred to mar a gnme which otherwise was free from slugging or rough piny. K. union, in-- tlfver little Princeton quarterback, angered because a Red and "White j.

layer did not arise quickly from a scrimmage, struck the Cornell man in th- face with his open hand. The blow was piain to everyone, and hoots and hisses greeted the little fellow, who had covered himself with glory during the game, as he was ordered to the side lines. The two captains agreed on 25-minute halves instead of minutes. first half. llarian kicked off for Princeton at 2:47 the ball going to Karle outside of bounds on Cornell's 0-yard line.

After failing to gain by line plunges, a forward pass gained for Cornell.

Gibson went through Princeton's left tackle with a splendid gain of 6 vards. He carried the bail to Princeton's 10-, yard line.

Dickinson hopes to be in such shape by the State game, at Williamsport, as to trim a portion at least of the blue and white sails. The Dickinson season closes w-ith Lafayette, at Easton, and the hopes of the local collegians run high when this contest is mentioned. There are big chances that the 240-pound Harry Predricks may be induced to play center permanently on the Dickinson eleven. Fredrieks is a wonderfully athletic heavyweight and would be a tower of strength for Dickinson.

In case he should go to center, the present occupant of that position would be given left guard, displacing Myers, a valuable player, who would probably be shifted elsewhere. Dickinson will carry about 20 men on all of her trips for the remainder of the season, and Captain Davis affirms that his cohorts will lead the simple life. Coach Williams worked his men only in the afternoons for past four or live days, hut each practice was thorough as possible in the hour or so preceding dusk. Quarterback kicks are beginning to be quite a feature at Dickinson, and a source of great gratification to the local enthusiasts is the leech-like tenacity with which the Dickinson boys hang on. to punts.

One of the requirements of the faculty of Dickinson College, which has lately passed the strictest kind of eligibility rules for the government of the football players, declares that the Dickinson captain should submit to the faculty the names of all players he is desirious of taking away from Carlisle on a trip at least five days before such trip, so that a thorough investigation may be instituted to ascertain whether or not the prespective players are up to their academic requirements.

CMigSiCO- CQPYftlCHT I9QO By Philadelphia. October 27. Pennsylvania Buffered the most crushing defeat in years this afternoon on Franklin Field, when the Carlisle Indians won from the Red and Blue team bf a score of 24 to 0. Pennsylvania's defeat was due to persistent fumbling and the deft manner in which the Indians worked the forward pass, a play which completely confused Pennsylvania. Nearly all of the scoring- w-as done in the first half, when the play occurred principally on Pennsylvania's side' of the field, where every misplay proved fatal.

Tho Indians scored tive minutes after the beginning of play, when l.ibby dropped a field goal from Pennsylvania's 45-vard line. It was a beautiful kick. Pennsylvania gained the lead a few moments later, when Levene blocked a kick on the 10-yard line and Draper fell on the ball behind the line. Hollsnback kicked the goal. Twenty-five minutes of the first half had been consumed when Lonswell fumbled Jit.

Pleasant's kick on the 35-yard line, and Gardner, recovering the ball, made a touchdown. ML Pleasant A BIG INDIAN. HENDRICKS, A. backfield player on the Carlisle team. JF i or ft-- ti.
