Byes 4 UI TO PENNSYLVANIA Eoys in Bed Elue Sweaters Pile Up a Big The Defeating the Visiting Collegians Scvenly-foiir Points to Nothing Yale's Footbal Team Wins From Brown University by a Score of 18 to The Blue Makes a Creditable Showing in the Opening; Game. RAIN came down right smartly at the University athletic grounds yesterday afternoon, but it did not prevent the sturdy football players of Pennsylvania and Gettysburg College Iroiu measuring strength on the green field. The game consisted of two twenty-five minute halves, and the local collegians won by the large score ot 74 to a Considering the fact that Cornell on Saturday only defeated Gettysburg 16 to it looks as if Pennsylvania's eleven this year is a very strong one and one that can be depended upon to bold its own with the stronger colleges. The work of the home team was a vast improvement over that in Saturday's cam with Franklin Marshall. The men played witl much more snap and their tackling and interference was very good lor the second game ot the season.

I he team work, while still not ot the best, shows much Improvement. WELL OFF FOR BACKS. It looks as It Pennsylvania will be stronger back of the line this year than was at first "supposed. Knipe, Osgood, Vail, Gelhert and Brooke all did good work yesterday. There was no fumbling speak ot, and the kicking of Brooke and Knipe could hardljf have been better.

Out ol thirteen touch-downs scored only 2 goals were missed, one by Knipe aad one by Brooke. There is still room for improvement in the line. Gettysburg lound several holes in Pennsylvania's centre yesterday, and although the visitors at no time came near scoring they made altogether too many gains. Newton, at right end, played a fierce tackling game lor the University, and made uood headway when given the ball. Wharton showed up well at riizht truard, aad, with a good centre, lie and Oliver should maKo the hue almost invincible in that quarter.

Right tackle, centre and the two ends at present seem to be the weak spots in tho eleven. Pennsylvania's best scoring was done yesterday in the second hall, the 'Varsity eleven making 40 aeainst 34 in the first half. This was entirely due to improved team work. DETAILS OF THK PLAT. Captain Ankerman called the turn or the coin and chose the ball, Tennsyl-Vania taking the eastern goal.

Play was called sharply at 3 P. M. Gettysburg made nearly ten yards In the but could go no lurther, and the ball was Pennsylvania's on four downs. A quick spurt of twenty yards to the right by Osgood, a dash through the centre lor til tee by "King" Mackey and then Gell.ert carried the ball ever tho line lor the first touch-down, after about three min. utes play.

Knipe Kicked the goal. Gettysburg failed to galu Pennsylvania made another -touch-down without losing tho ball, Osgood this time carrying It ever the line alter a Pretty run oi ioi ty yarns, a oai resuit- ing. A few minutes afterward scored a touch-down from mid-field. Knipe kicked the goal. When tiie teams Hood up in the centre Gettysburg dashed persistently against Pennsylvania's line and made considerable headway, carrying the ball nearly to the thirty yard lino before University got it on four downs.

Ptnn-srlvania then rushed it up the field and Gelhert took it over the line lor another touch-down and goal. Ankerman made a slight gain for Gettysburg, and then Newton got the ball in a scrimmage and running nearly half the length of the field touched it down behind the line. It was not allowed, for Gettysburg was eiven the ball on account of holding.Short dashes through the centre soon scored a touch-down, Knipe both making the latter and kicking the goal. Geibert, a few moments afterward, ran around the left end lor a touch-down, and this time Knipe failed to place the all between the bars. Time for the first half was called with Gettysburg having the ball on Pennsylvania's tilty yard line, the score teing Pennsylvania, 31; Gettysturg, 0.

THE SKCOND HALF. Pennsylvania's toif.u was changed around considerably in the second half. Mat-key carried the ball over the line tor a toucn-aown in less man a minute alter play was called, Brooke kicking the coal. Gettysburg made 5 yards in the and then lost the ball ou lour dowus. A lew quick rushes anil I'rooke took it over the line Lie punted out to Vail, ami then failed at goal.

Gettysburg was unable to gain, and Motern and Brooke exchanged kicks, the latter gotting all the belter ot the (leal. Pennsylvania soon got the ball again, and Oliver scored a touch-down through the centre, Brooke kicking the goak Wharton, Abbott, Upton and Brooke each made touch-downs in this hall, Brooke kicking the goal in every instance, the final score being: Pennsylvania, 74; Gettysburg, 0, The teams lined up as follows; Vehksylvakia.

Harkisbcro. Oct. 4. Governor Pattison this afternoon made public I he following correspondence, which ox-plains itseli: Philadelphia. Nov.

10. 1892. Mv lar Governor: In the midst of our hurrah. I stop to be the first in the lieldns an appll cant for the position of Naval Officer in I he Philadelphia. Custom House under Mr.

Cleveland. It is a nice, easy oflice with an honorable title and alary, quite an acceptable addition to my very modest income. I write this early to forestall in your pood graces any other claimant, so that at the troper time von can ask the appointment for no if you will from Mr. Cleveland. As president of the Catholic Chili Mr.

Cleveland liad some pleasant correspondence with me any in 18S7, which 1 think he will remember to advantage. Of course I espi-ct to hare the support of Mr. Harrily ns soon as he is at sufficient leisure to be consulted. 1 will be glad, to have you talk it cr with him when you see him. It-is so hard for one te praise one'? self, and yet 1 hope our Ions iriendshlp and yonr thorough knowledge or my merits and shortcoinir, its (to say nothing of a lifetime of party ssr-vice without pecuniary reward or emo.u-ments) would justify words of praise, I have every confidence you will champion my cause, as I have ever championed yours.

Yours most sincerely. Jobs I. RooEite. To the above the Governor replied as follows: Haiuusburg. Nov.

Ik 1892. My Dear Colonel: 1 will cheerfully aid you In a iy way in my power, Let me know when are ready to move. With kindest retards to Mrs. Rogeis, believe me, Yours truly, Kobebt E. Pattison Yesterday when Governor Pattison was quoted in the Philadelphia paprs as denying having indorsed Rogers, ie latter sent him the following telegram: Phil delfhia, Oct.

3, 1803. Governor R. E.Pittison: You are quoted as denyi.ig my claim ef indorsement for Xaval Ofiiei r. 1 wrote you immediately after election, ask-lmr indorsement, and received reply: -I will cheerfully aid yon in any way in my power. Let me know when you are ready to move." This was a prerequisite to candidacy, and your forgetting it has wounded me to the heart, besides impugning my veracity.

Your correction now to the newspapers is absolute essential. I deny using the Guard for political purpose. My record in the office 1 ho Is the best credential to the office 1 aspi to, and the indorsements of nil officers. irro-spective of party, is absolutely non-partisan. I am not responsible for the imp i-taiions in the newspapers as to Harrit who is mv personal triend and wisely noncommittal on any candidate.

Kindly re pi y. John 1. Koqeks. To this Governor Pattison sent the following rather tart answer: II rriburo. Oct.

1893 Colon. John I. Rogers: Telegram received. I hat neither indorsed you nor any other one It position of Naval Ofticer. The manner i a which you used my name was absolutely without authority.

The use of the names of members ef the National Guard as such, to advance political promotion, 1 regard as extremely improper. 1 have never by word or act in the past countenanced such use. nor will I in the future. The puli-Jislied interview in- the newspapers li-oin Xn: was substantially correct. To an ollict of tho National Guard I do not think th.it any more than a suggestion on this point is necessary.

I had no right quote you as Commander-in-Chief, an 1 Bim you object to any such action on part I wid lie longer offend in that war. hat 1 should have said is: "The Governor of Pennsylvania has promised to do ad in his power to aid me" in securing the appointment as Naval Officer unu would "move in the matter when I was ready for is gospel truth, as the inclosed copiet of your letter and my letter show. Yon liavn the original of iny letter, and I havo that oi yours.

Mv mistake was in calling you Coiiniiander-in-Chief of the Nationa Guard Pennsylvania, and having matin that niistaKo I will withdraw any further use of your name as such Commander-in-Chief. Of course, you are now at liberty to release yourself Ironi your premise convcyet.

in your letter of N.vember 11, 1892, but as the public do not draw the distinction be tween yon as Governor and as Commander-in-Chief, they will think your denial ofunj authority covers you inilividuniij- in both capucities. The reporters have been after me all day. I will set them right, as to the proper distinction, acknowl edge my ilunder, but for my own honor claim that your individual promise wat. made as set forth in your letter of No vemher 11. If this is not sntisfacterj to yon I will proceed to Ilurrlsburg on yoiii telegram to-morrow and surrender my records and tender you my resignation ol an office my success in which has been for bidden to be used as a credential to promo tion.
