Oct. 26. Alvin J. Rucker defeated Purdue to-lay. To-night he is the hero of Bloomington and Indiana University.

With Purdue on Indiana's twelve-yard line, with the score six to six and one minute to play, secured the bail on a Purdue fumble and, by a desperate dash of seventy-eight yards, put it behind the Purdue goal. McCann, who tackled him ir the center of the field, was sent reeling with a straight arm jab and hd a clear field. The decision was contested by Captain Miller, backed by l.SoO students, who were on the field and threatened trouble. It took the umpire and referee thirty minutes to decide that the play was a fair one, and should be counted for Indiana. Purdue claimed that spectators interfered with McCann.

When the decision was made Purdue refused to line-up for the goal kick and the game was given to Indiana 12 to 6. The game abounded sensations. In the second half, the spectators saw Russell, the Purdue left half, break through Indiana's line and carry the ball fifty yards. Three times I'urdue had the ball on Indiana's fifteen-5 ard line, but was unable to make gains. Clevenger kicked off at 2:30 to Purdue's five-yard line, and Leslie returned it fifteen I'urdue Immediately began punting-, and the ball was soon In the center of he field.

Indiana sent Foster, Clevenger and Darby through In three line plays for fifteen yards, then lost the ball on a fumble. The first test of Indiana's line came, and it held like a stone wall. Cornell was hurled back for a loss, and Leslie was compelled to punt. Iarby, In the first mass play, made six yards, and in the next Indiana lost on a fumble. Russell begun his sensational work by making eighteen yards around Indiana's end.

The Indiana crowd was scared, but still confident. Indiana was given ten yards on off-side play and held Purdue for downs. Clevenger, Darby and Coval made big gains, and Darby carried the ball over the Purdue goal, but lost the ball on a fumble as he was placing dt between the posts. The score was not allowed. When Indiana lined up again it began heavy line bucking.

Smith, Elfers. and Foster repeatedly broke through Purdue's line for good gains. On Purdue's ten-yard line Clevenger went through and scored and then kicked goal. Captain Miller kicked off, but neither team could gain an advantage. The whistle sounded with the ball In the center of the lield.

Purdue had the better of the playing In the second half, Indiana's line wavering at times, held good at critical times. Purdue rushed the ball down the field several times, but could not break the Indiana line when near the Indiana goal. Russell's run of fifty yards was the feature of the half. The playing had been very even until Russell broke through. Clevenger downed him and I'urdue lost on downs.

Clevenger punted to the center of the field. Again I'urdue. by line bucks, brought the ball within ten yards of Indiana's goal. Mills, who had gone in when Cornell was taken out of the game, scored the touchdown after three trials at breaking Indiana's line. Captain Miller kicked goal.

When the teams lined up again only three minutes remained. Smith rejKatedly broke through Indiana's line and Captain Miller made gains with his tackle formation. sensational run closed the game, lie was carried olf the Ik Id on the shoulders of the crowd. Bloomington is wild tonight, students with a band parading the streets.

Manu.il Training High School was defeated here this afternoon by the Mooney School of Franklin. by a failure to i kick goal after a touchdoxvn. The Mooney team outweighed the Indianapolis eleven on an average of ten pounds to the man. Training School did not play the game It Is capable, of. because the players xvere badly used up by the hard trip and the change to much warmer xveather.

At the opening Steele kicked short for Training School and the teams line up on Mooney' thirty-yard line. Mooney carried the ball to the Indianapolis fifty-yard line and lost it on doxvns. Indianapolis carried the ball to Mooney's twenty-yard line and lost it on downs. The ball see-saxved up and down the lield "in this way for fifteen minutes. Indianapolis got the ball on Mooney's thirty-tive-yard line on doxvns.

Indianapolis tried to advance the ball, but fumbled, and Mooney got it on the Indianapolis thirty-yard line. Hy lino bucking by Bridges, who hurdled the Indianapolis line beautifully, Mooney carried the ball over for a touchdown ten seconds before the end of the half, and from it kicked goal. Mooney opt. tied the second half by kicking off to J. Shideler, who ran the ball back to the Indianapolis forty-yard line.

Then Training School braced up and carried the ball to Mooney's fix'e-yard line. Mooney punted and Shideler ran the ball back fifteen yards. Indianapolis was forced to punt. The Mooney back fumbled and Shideler grabbed the ball and ran -er the Money gcal line. The referee, xvho xvas wholly Incompetent, called the ball back to the i lace xvhere the Mooney back had touched it.

and gave it to Indianapolis twenty yards from Mooney's goal. This xvas a vile decision. Indianapolis was held for downs and Mooney punted to midtield. Shidc'cr ran the ball back txxenty yards. Then Indianapolis began to rip up the Maney line and Hamlet tarried the ball over for a touchdown, after thirty-five yards of line plunging.

Indianapolis failed to kick goal. With three minutes to play, Mooney kicked off to J. Shideler, xvho ran the ball back to the center of the field. Line plunging carried, the ball to Mooney's five-yard line xvhen time xvas called. Hridges.

the Mooney full, back, played a mignihcent game. Steele made three twenty-yard runs through the Moonev tackles. T. Shideler ran back the Mooney punts from ten to twenty yards on every kick. Line-up: M.

TO REDUCE THE SURPLUS xioiti: iioMis 3i av in pi lit ii ijv the Seeretary Oiitte 3lay Iiiie a Call About Dee. 1 for r.O00,tMK) Tariff Revision Talk.

Special in Journal. WASHINGTON. Oct. 2. It Is possible that xxithin the next month Secretary of the Treasury Cage will announce the ln- MEHRING' END RUN ON TRICK 1 tention of the government to make still further purchases of government bonds for the double purpose of reducing the national debt and reducing the accumulation of money in the treasury to the detriment of business interests.

Since July 1 last, there has been accumulated in the treasury a surplus of more than and available cash In treasury has reached the enormous sum of which, of course, does, not Include the reserve funds. This accumulation of cash In the treasury is xvhat has led, as much as anything else, to tho talk about a revision of the tariff. There are two ways In xvhich the surplus may be taken out of the treasury. One is by the reduction of the revenues so that less money will be paid Into the treasury, and the other by the purchase of bonds, thus at the same time reducing the treasury-surplus and reducing the national debt. The matter of the purchase of bonds has lately been receiving very serious attention from the treasury officials.

There is danger that xxithin the next few weeks gold will be exported to London, and this would, as a matter of course, tighten money in the financial centers of the country. The problem that Is presented to the treasury at this time Is whether It would be better to anticipate a money stringency and relieve it by purchasing bonds, thus putting money Into immediate circulation, or to wait for the sloxver action of Congress in reducing the revenues, either through tariff rexdslon or through reciprocity. The impression in the Treasury Department seems to be that the lirst method will be adopted, and that before the 1st of December announcement xvill be made that the Treasury Department is. prepared to buy long-term government bonds to the amount of at least this at a price that will be satisfactory both to the government and to the holders of the bonds. In xvorking out this bond-puehasing proposition the treasury officials are also considering tariff revision through reciprocity.

Straight tariff rexdsion as proposed by Hep-lesentative Habccck does not seem to find general favor any more than does straight reciprocity. The thing that is being talked about most just now is a compromise be-txveen tariff revision and reciprocity a proposition xvhereby the Congress shall pass a laxv reducing the duties on articles that are exported in quantity from the United States. Thus, steel rails are now being exported from this country to all of the markets of the world. It Is proposed to have Congress pass a laxv xvhereby xvhen any articles reach the point in the export list new occupied by steel rails the duty upon that article shall be authentically reduced. Provision o' that sort xvoiild eliminate the California and New England opposition that has successfully held up reciprocity treaties for the last lVxv years and at the same time it is believed they might be so framed as to meet the underlying principles or the Uabcock bill.

It is understood that this plan xvill be suggested to the reciprocity congress that is to meet in Washington next month. Many officials of the government believe that the cardinal advantage of reciprocity is keeping the doors of European countries open to American trade avoiding retaliation and they believe that the latest scheme suggested xvould accomplish that purpose, leaving the government free to make special treaties of reciprocity in special cases.

Yale defeated Columbia at football this afternoon by the score of 10 to 5. Two touchdowns xvere Yale's portion, but neither of them was converted into goals. Columbia xvas PLAY. unable to carry the ball across Yale's goal line, but Captain Morely executed in superb style a goal from the field and thus registered live points for the blue and xvhite. Although the victory went to Y'ale it was only after one of the fiercest and most exciting games ever witnessed at Yale Field.

Neither side scored in the first half, and xvhile the ball was in Columbia's territory during the greater part of the game, the young Nexv Y'orkers often played their opponents to a standstill. The Y'ale giants xvere held for downs three times. More over. Colombia reemontlv made the neres-! sary five yards, only to lose possession of the ball through fumbling entirely inconsistent xvith the general faultlessness of her team play. Columbia also sacrificed much advantage by a surprising disposition toward off side play.

Three times they were penalized for ten yards for this offense and the distance awarded Yale aided materially in keeping the ball in the enemy's territory. The contest throughout was more stubbornly and fiercely fought than many another so-called "big" game played In New Haven. Columbia's back field players xvere up to the standard which has enrolled them already In the list of great football players. The blue and xvhite rush line occasioned much comment by its stonewall solidity early in the game, and these same linesmen were able often to open up gaping holes In the stalwart line of Y'ale. There xvas more or less slugging and on one or two occasions the rival players xvere momentarily locked in little disputes that might have blossomed Into free fights had not cooler heads prex'ailed.

Throughout the afternoon the 6,000 spectators xvere treated to an exhibition of the sturdiest and most skillful kind of football. Ry many the outcome of the game is looked on as a virtual Columbia victory on the theory that at this advanced stase of the season Y'ale team should be capable ef administering a smothering defeat to a team so young in football experience.

CAMimiDC.H. Oct. 2.. Harvard easily defeated the Carlisle Indians on Soldiers' Field this afternoon by a score of 23 to 0. Harvard's line was much heavier and they easily outplayed the Indians.

Harvard also had a great deal of luck, Ave times fumbling the ball but recovering it instantly. At the end of" the first half the Indians xvould probably have scored if time had not been called, as they had advanced the ball from midtield to Harvard's eighty-yard line by a series of trick plays which proved very effective. Tho Harvard team showed greater spirit and more team play than at any time this season. On the line plays, especially, every man helped to drag the runner along, carrying him even after he had been tackled. Marshall played a brilliant game at quarter back and made several good dodging runs alter catching punts.

AX AWFIL SCORE. MiehiKmi Piled lp 12S Point to Aone by Huflalo liilvernlty. ANN ARBOR, Oct. 26. The University of Buffalo football eleven was beaten by Michigan this afternoon by a score of 12S to 0.

The Buffalo team xvas simply smothered by the Michigan men, who score-d almost at will. Mason, of the Buffalo team, narrowly missed a place kick from the txventy-five-yard line, and this was the only time Buffalo xvas anywhere near a score. The lack of training of the visiting eleven xvas very apparent, especially in the second half, xvhen a man xvas laid out after almost every rush. Coach Brown, of the Buffalo team, said after the game: 'Michigan can defeat any team in the East." Oil EH LI COLLEGE DEFEATED. Cornell' Wall Wn Too Stonelike for the Ohio Team.

Sore in limb and heart the Franklin College football players left the Washington Park gridiron yesterday afternoon, having been defeated by the University of Indianapolis football team by a score of 22 to 0. The Franklinites came to Indianapolis expecting to be defeated, but hopeful of at least one touchdown against the Indianapolis aggregation. Not once did the visiting team approach dangerously near the Indianapolis goal, and at no time was Franklin near a touchdoxvn. Hut the Franklin team was not as bad as was expected. The sanguine supporters of the University of Indianapolis team expected Franklin to carry back the small end of a score of at least 40 to 0.

This would have been accomplished had U. of I. played as strong and aggressive a game as was played against Earlham the week before. Indianapolis won, it Is true, and Franklin did not even score, but still the victory was not as creditable as it might have been. The work xvas slow and tedious, nearly every member of the Indianapolis team failing to get into the game with the vim and ginger displayed against Earlham.

Coach Kelly stood on the side lines and showed evidence of disgust at the slow game his men played. The first half was fairly fast, but the second was slow and tiresome, but one touchdown being scored against the visitors. Indianapolis madei nearly all her gains by end runs, the line bucking being very weak at timet. TINCJIER PEN ET RATET" IT CV tvr The beautiful interference which was a feature of the game against Earlham was not so much Jn evidence yesterday. Franklin surprised the spectators by crushing a hole through the Indianapolis line where it was thought to be impregnable.

Tincher, the Franklin right tackle, time and again eluded France and effectively prex-ented the Indianapolis backs from making gains. Three men Corson, Hess and Figg wei tried at right guard, but they did not succeed in preventing Tincher from piercing the line. The right side of the Franklin line was very strong, but the left Fide comparatively weak, and it was this ride that was hammered so badly by the Indianapolis backs and tackles. Mehring went into the game sufTcrins with a sick headf.che, but he gamely carried the ball into Franklin's territory when he was called upon. He retired In the second half and this weakened the Indianapolis team.

Judah was also forced to retire and he was replaced by Pritchard also left the game, and during the last part of the contest there wa a complete new outfit back of the line fcr Indianapolis, excepting quarter back Butler. The new material did not Infuse the life into the game as was expected, and the playing was listless. Franklin played a stronger game In the second half than in the first, and, coupled with the weakened condition of the U. of I. team, the score was increased but five jolnts in that art of the game.

Fratice and Siegmund were again potent factors In the Indianapolis line, and their tackling and interference, and also (Torts to gain ground, were features of the Mehrlag made the tar plays the Franklin ends while he was in the cm-test. Forsythe. Pritchard and Ju ih aIo helped to advance the leather when called upon. Hdson, Rogers and Anthany xxvre also good ground gainers. For Franklin the best work was accomplished by M.

Webb, Miller, Tincher, Branlgan and Waiden, while Tincher and Matthews extinguished their work by their superb tackhr.g and blocking. FRANKLIN LEARNED U. OF I. SIGNALS. Franklin won the tfes and choe the cast goal.

It xvas heided to play twenty-five and twe nty-miiMtte halve s. Franklin to play as short halves as possible. After the toss and argument over the length of the halx'CF the teams lined for play and France kicked eiff to Rranigati on the five-yard line.
