Is Farther Ahead Than Ever ONE CENT DEB0T1TE TWICE THROWN HI RADNOR JUMPING CONTEST Miss Emily Randolph Escapes Injury Under Horses' Hoofs MANY CLUBS HOLD THANKSGIVING MEETS Countryside Near City Scene of Exciting Chases After Elusive Fox Farmers Are Guests Diminutive Mis Emily Randolph, wha when togged out in riding breeches, coat puttes with a hunting cap pulled down upon her forehead, resemble a boy 14 years, was twice thrown from her huounts yesterday during jumping con-i tests at the Thanksgiving lay meet ol Radnor Hunt Club. Many society persons in tiie grandstand were thrilled the falls. Miss Randolph will mate, debut next week. The celebration of the Radnor Hunt Club was one of many similar events and chases after Reynard by hunt clubs or suburban districts. A u.st of society of the city gathered at the chrb-! houses early in the morning and the lulls vales of Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties rever berated with -the biats of the huntsman's horn and the yelping of hounds, keen on the scear.

Among the ether clubs which observed holiday in typical manner were the Pickering. Rose Tree, Whitemarsh Y1-jlcy and Meadowbiook. It was an odd coincidence that after Miss Randolph, whose father is Philip S. Randolph, of Philadelphia, Newport Lakewood, had been thrown the first itime, Miss Rose Dolan, a school chum. remarked jestingly, "Do it again Emily, I did not see "All right," retorted Miss Randolph, laughingly, as she walked toward the oval ride in the next Miss Randolph waved her hand to her friend ana pressed her boot-clad feet against the sides of the blue-blooded jumper to urge him to take-off for tire hurdle.

The horse, bucking like a mustang, arched its back and the rider was catapulted into the air. Before she struck the ground she had turned a somersault. Miss- Dolan, as weir as other society foik, their ranks numbering more than 15y. despite the counter attractions of other hunt club runs, and the Pennsylvania-Cornell game, screamed iu Miss Randolph lay still for a few seconds. Then she arose and ran after the animal, which had stopped and was gazing toward the prostrated ridery To the accompaniment of handclappiug and shouts of "bravo," Miss Randolph remounted and forced the horse to take the jumps, as" she had done after her first, fall.

"Well, I guess Eleanor Sears could not have done any better than that," was the comment of the girl, as she returned to the clubhouse. Miss Randolph is regarded as the Boston society "bud's" closest rival as an equestrienne, polo player and participant in strenuous sport usually tabooed by women. Farmers Gnesl of Club j.n the past years that the Radnor Club l.as entertained farmers of the country adjacent to the clubhouse on Thanksgiving Day, there was no celebration which smacked of as much joviality as did yesterday's, according to guests and hosts alike. More than a thousand farmers flocked to the picturesque clubhouses. Prominent officials of Chester county were also guests, an dthe gathering was representative one.

Society folkither motored or came on horseback. The agriculturists who were being entertained tor their liberality in permitting the huntsmen and huntswom-en of the club to ride over their fields during the winter months in pursuit of the fox also came early. From the time the agriculturists reached the quarters there were no spare minutes when society men and women were not mingling with them, aiding thm in enjoying their holiday and making friends. Donnng the garb of waiters and carrying trays laden with steaming food and mugs of ale, a group of widely known clubmen acted as a reception committee. Some of the members were Horace Bin-ney Hare, master of hounds of the club; Hutudph Ellis, John R.

Like the good old gobbler turkey the boys from Xew York State in their jerseys of terrifying red have formed an annual Thanksgiving sacrifice to Father Penn, and year after year have offered themselves for slaughter on the chalk marked loam of Franklin Field. True to custom and precedent.

Cornell went down to defeat yesterday Ijefore Penn. The score was 21 to 9 in favor of the Red and Blue, and in keep- ing witn trie unwritten law, renn jasr. night fittingly and noisily celebrated the victory. It is conservatively estimated that about twenty thousand men and women, the majority of them of the younger generation, hurried through their noonday luncheons and dinners and made for Franklin Field to enjoy their dessert. It was an exceptionally grand day for the en joyment of the sport.

The sun shone bright and clear; the skies were blue, flecked only here and there by a cloud of white; the air was crisp and bracing; altogether it was a beautifu cold winter's day, in fact very cold for those who -Lad to sit in the open stands.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30. President 5Taft, in discussing current topics with an interviewer for The Outlook, frankly admits that he would appreciate re-elec tion to the Presidency, "If, after casting tip the totals pro and con and striking a balance, they (the people) should decide that my first term had been fruitful enough of good to warrant their enlisting me for another. he explains, 'T have not been willing, nor shall I be. to purchase it at the sacrifice of freedom to do my duty as I see it.

I shall go back private life with no heartburnings if the people, after unprejudiced review of my administration, conclude that someone else can serve them to their greater advantage. In-an article entitled TatVs Own View: An Authorized Interview." the President, answering the question: "If you could begin jour administration again, would you repeat your Winona speech said: phraseology, no; in effect, yes. Had I known as much as I do now, fchould have realized that there are some things one cannot leave to be taken for granted. I dictated that speech to a stenographer on the cars between two fctations, and glanced through it only enough to straighten its grammar; it was sent out by the press pondingly little eex-emoney, so that papers received it in all sorts of shapes. If I had prepared it two or three weeks before and revised it deliberately, as I ought to have done, I should have clarified several passages.

I do not join in the charge of inconsistency against the Democrats for compromising with Ia Follette on the wool schedule instead of standing by their own figures. If they could not get all the reduction they asked for they were quite justified in' taking what they could get.

My chief criticism on their tariff activites last session was that they were willing to send to me legislation so crude and ill digested that they must have known, if they "bad paused to think, that I could not possibly approve it'. 'Ts your tariff reduction program-based on the theory that it will bring about a orresponding reduction in the cost of living?" 'T think that that effect is greatly over-estimated.

After Cornell had tied ihe score at 6 i the first half of the annual tussle be- Ill tween Penn and Cornell on Franklin Field, Barr replaced Kennedy in the Red and Blue backfield, and it was his kicking that turned the tide and enabled Penn to win bv the final score of 21 to 9. It was the nineteenth annual game between the two universities and old Penn annexed her seventeenth victory and the fifth consecutive defeat of the Ithacans.

Cornell has won one game and played a scoreless tie in another. hue Borr's well-directed punts that kept the Cornell backs at their wits' end played the important part in the game. Penn's success and Cornell's failure with forward passes also counted largely in the point getting. Tv0 of Penn's touchdowns were secured by these plays and Penn's defense against these plays prevented the Ithacans from scoring as many. flame for the Spectators From a spectators viewpoint the game was the most interesting of the larger contests this year.

It abounded in start ling plays from beginning. The crowd was kept keyed up as almost anything was liable to happen at any time. In a word, the game was the best exhibition of the possibilities of the new rules and served well to show the rule makers what can be done with the game of football under the present playing code. The on-side kick was seen at its best and all around it was the most interesting game of the vear. Score on Forward.

Pass Penn scored first on a very pretty forward pass on which Jourdet, the clever little left end, went over the goal line aftr the backs, led by Mercer, had drilled large holes in the big Cornell forwards for long gains. Then, before the first period was over, O'Connor made a long bounding punt which Minds was unable to handle in the mud, and Eyrick, Cornell's left end, striding down the field in full flight, grabbed up the ball and dashed forty yards over a clear field for the Cornell score. As Minds and Butler had both kicked goals from the touchdowns, the score fitood 6 to 6. The second period was unproductive of scoring by either side, so the team left the field for a rest at half time with honors even so far as restjlts were concerned. Penn Hard Pressed It was not until Pennsylvania had been hard pressed in the opening of the second half by Mercer fumbling.
