28. All our thoughts this week have been absorbed by the war in South Africa. In the beginning of the week that section of our population which supports this war, and I am bound to say it forms the great majority, were delighted with the rapid succession of victories, dearly bought It Is true, but thought to be crushing. Since Tuesday, however, the country has been kept In suspense, and its appetite for tales of slaughter has had to rest satisfied with the shooting or bayoneting of stray clumpr of burghers on the Bechuanaland boundary. Worse than that, we have reaped nothing whatever by our Natal victories, Unless it be some intimation of the Dutch young men being conceited In their marksmanship.

So precarious was the forward position of our troops that both Dundee and Glen-coe had to be evacuated, and in the former place not only did we leave all our stores, but all the as well. By forced marches Brig. Gen. Yule was able to rejoin the main strength of Oen. White's force at Ladysmith, but it cost a third sanguinary battle, apd the loss of more than one hundred of our men to gain this object.

And now all Is darkness, with ominous whispers going around that the troops at Ladysmith are deficient In supplies and short of artillery and ammunition. These may be only the idle tales that always float to the surface, when excited minds are In want of fresh, sensations to feed upon, but I know that the War Office has spent an anxious week, fearing lest the Boers should swarm around between Ladysmith and Marltzburg, cutting off the communication between Gen. White's army and the coajt. That they are able to surround our troops in Ladysmith valley is not believed, but evidently something has gone wrong, and we shall be anxious until the position la cleared up. THE PRESS CENSORSHIP.

Meanwhile the press censorship is of the most rigorous description, and nothing Is allowed to come over the cables except the most laudatory accounts of our own feats of arms. That our men have fought splendidly Is beyond doubt; still, the remarkable contrast between the first glowing accounts of victory and the situation to-day around Ladysmith gives rise to anxiety and doubt. The low hills surrounding that camp are In the hands of the Boers more or less absolutely, and our troops are, all In the flat valley. The sooner this position Is changed, and our communications with the base of operations assured, the better. Parliament has been prorogued again, and not before It was time, for angry passions were generated during the brief meeting that must have led to violent and unseemly debates had the session been prolonged.

There Is no disguising the fact that the minority, not merely of the Liberal Tarty, but of the Tory Party likewise. Is bitterly opposed to the policy of the Cabinet, and above all hostile to Mr. Chamberlain. At every sitting this hostility was displayed, and prominent Conservatives vied with the wild Irlshry In denouncing the diplomacy that has brought about this ghastly strife. CHAMBERLAIN AND RHODES.

But the point cjj which the opponents of the Colonial Secretary fastened the most determinedly." was Mr. Chamberlain's alleged complicity with Cecil Rhodes and the Chartered Company crowd In the Jameson aid. Philip Stan hope raised this matter In the House of Commons from information of a trustworthy character that I know was In his possession. Briefly, the story Is this: Some time before the raid took place either Rhodes or on of his supporters among the Dukes and other great personages went to Mr. Chamberlain and told him that Rhodesia was not turning out at all according to anticipations.

Gold there was in the country, but nowhere had it been found In such richness as to lead to the expectation that the territory could be brought Into a state of prosperity by Its means. "Therefore," said these emissaries, we are going to Jump Into the Rand, and we want you to gives us your unofficial support- Let the Bechuanaland police be gathered at the Transvaal border, and give us a jumping off place for our forces. Ton need not know our game, nor take part In it unless Johannesburg rises or cries out for assistance; then your troopers can rush in and pose as saviors of society." 1 Bo said, so done. There is no question Kxnna Ale Jmmt Riant ho4jr, bead, tut, aol flnUa. that the Bechuanaland police were thus collected, and that the prearranged wail from Johannesburg was- published ar and wide.

HARCOURT WAS DECEIVED. Now comes the question of the letters showing Mr. Chamberlain's foreknowl edge. Mr. Stanhope has known that three letters of Chamberlain's were hand ed to a fellow-member of the House, Abel Thomas, by Mr.

Hawsley, solicitor to Rhodes and the Chartered Company, with Instructions that if the Colonial Secretary attacked Rhodes in the House of Com mons he (Mr. Thomas) was to get up and read those letters in proof that Chamberlain knew about- the business from the first. But why did Sir William Harcourt, it may be asked, prevent these letters from being laid before the Committee of the House of Commons that Investigated into the Jameson raid? He was tricked, the answer Is, by being shown that other letter which Mr. Chamberlain offered on Wednesday to submit again to his Inspection and Mr. Campbell-Bannerman's.

From that letter Sir William was led to suppose that Rhodes was endeavoring to blackmail Mr. Chamberlain, and befng a gentleman he said, I will have nothing to do with any disreputable proceeding of this kind." Not till some time after the committee had finished taking evidence and the whole affair had been hushed up did he learn thu truth. I gave you this tale as It has reached me from, I may say, the very first sources, because unquestionably a good deal more will be heard about the sub ject before long. ATTITUDE OF THE POWERS. Another matter which is troubling the public mind somewhat, and the official mind a good deal more, Is the attitude of the Continental powers toward us in this war.

A report was floating about the Government offices early this week that an alliance was about to be concluded between Great Britain, the United States, Germany, and Japan, with a view to maintain the peace of the world. I have no doubt of the cordial good will between the United States and Great Britain, and as little that Japan would be ready enough to join us in any ar rangement calculated to put a curb upon the aggressive policy of Russia, but I have doubts about loyal support from Germany. Up to a certain point that power would doubtless be with us, but it has interests In Central Europe and thinks It has Interests at Constantinople decidedly hostile to Britain's. We may, therefore, put aside this report, as at present representing a dream far more than a reality. It Is otherwise, however, with the rumor that Russia and France have been consulting together to try and discover some way to do us mischief when our hands are full.

There seems to be good foundation for this report, but I am not disposed to think that these two powers will take any overt action against us Just now. They are more likely to en deavor to stir up diplomatic trouble When It comes to rearranging the political map of South Africa. Already seml-offl cial notes are appearing In the French press to indicate that cetain powers (who they are being well understood) mean to have their say In the South Afrl can settlement because of the great finan clal Interests some of them have at stake there. Not much will come of that, either. Just now, because we are strong enough to go our own way heedless of remon strances from any quarter.

France and Russia together could not face us on the sea, and Russia alone Is In a position seriously to worry us on land, because at four points our Interests can be touched by her without moving a gunboat at Constantinople, in Persia, on the north west Indian frontier, and In China. It may be that the Government of the Czar will begin to make demonstrations at one or all of these points if the war be pro longed and our army should meet with any reverse; but If the war be swiftly ended and our forces triumphant, Rus- sla will stir neither hand nor loot; sne cannot afford to do so. RHii thpr is a simmering of spiteful wrath against Britain perceptible almost everywhere on te Continent, which cre ates considerable anxiety here, ana aaas to the nervousness with which we await further developments AUSTRIA GOING TO PIECES.

race hatred is at white heat, and the dlf ferent sections of the empire may be said to exist in a state of half-suppressed civil war. Between Czech and Teuton there seems even less room for a truce, and parliamentary msuiuuom iyc ceased to possess any meaning except to afford an arena for free fights.

The trith, however, is that all south eastern Europe Is in a turmoil, which looks as though It Is approaching a series of revolutions.

Nothing Is going to happer Immediately, as far as one can see, but the situation is such as to create-1 the possibility of worse happening at any moment. CORRUPTION IN RUSSIA.

In the meantime, however, Russia seems to have hr hands full, not only with her- commercial crisis, but with discoveries of corruption in her public service. Tales of Russian official turpitude are nothing new to thle word, but an unusually big system ofj stealing seems to have been discovered In the Crimea, and a number of Government officials there are going to be court-martialed, some forty of them. we unders and. They have only been doing: what Russian officials are credited with mak ng their habit at all times heating tjhe revenue and the trader at one and tie same time. FRENCH BANK FIASCO.

France, too, has her small bo. scan- dalK which Is nearly hidden behind the trial of the conspirators now going on before the nate. M. Meline has allowed himself to be mixed up in what seems to have sen a Bourse gamble of the Union Gen frale order. Under his patronage and th at of other fervent agricultur ists in the! protectionist camp, the rural credit banll was founded, and an attempt made to subscriptions for Its capital.

Either the ittempt failed or it was found that there was no room for such an Institution Ir competition with the Credit Foncler, and the scheme was dropped, with the result that a number of worthy gentlemen tare discovered to have made themselves liable for the payment of huge commission to a promoter and banker and a numier of brokers-engaged to float forming the proposed capital. It is in its way a small copy of the old Panama scandals, but except that it has made certain politicians and high social personages I seem ridiculous, as well as relieving tnem perhaps of a little money, the thing is not of much Importance. France hha deeper sores than that to try to salvi, and it is hard to count the number of pactions her unhappy citizens are divided! Into. TI ALASKA MODUS.

F. Berkely, a Cornell Freshman, "While Preparing for Induction Into the Kappa Alpha Fraternity Is Drowned. Special to The New York Times. GENEVA. Oct.

28. As the result of the trip of twenty Cornell students to this city for the purpose of initiating eight of their number Into the mysteries of the Kappa Alpha fraternity, Edward Falrchild Berkely of St. Louis, a Cornell fresh man Is dead. While steps preparatory to Initiation into the fraternity were being taken yesterday afternoon Berkely was drowned in the Oswego and Seneca Canal, which runs from the Oswego River to Cayuga and Seneca Lake. iast Christmas the Chanter House of the Cornell fraternity was burned.

The candidates this Fall were brought here to be initiated at the Hobart College Chapter House. At the Lehigh Valley junction, about a mile from this city. Berkely and a student named Dickinson were Dut off the train. The same course was pursued with other candidates, each man being put under a guard. It is said that Dickinson was instructed to keep away from the city until tne nour tor the initiation, which was to take place in the evening.

Dickinson and his charge went across the fields to the lake road, near the Geneva suburbs, while the followed different routes. On the lake road Dickinson wrote something on a piece of paper and told Berkely to pin it to a tree a quarter of a mile dlrtant. Berkely to obey the order, whether through fear or because of a desire to obey orders will never be knowiV. At the opposite side oi tne neia lies tne canal, in tne darkness neither Berkely nor Dickinson observed it. Bericely hurried across, stumbled, and went bead first into the canal The nly man that saw Berkely take the fatal plunge Ih the signal iran at the Le- hlsh tower.

He gave the alarm, and with others was soon on the spot. Fruitless ef fort were made to recover the body, cor oner usoorn or Waterloo was summoned. He recovered the body two hours later. The drowning has created the rreatest excitement in college circles here. The report that It was the result of hazing spread, and citizen -of this place and Waterloo are maignant.

Those prominent at Hobart college say it Is likely to permanently cripple the Kappa Alpha fraternity. The Cornell Chapter may be abolished. it is tne second fatality that has occurred in Cornell initiations. Not long ago a Cornell freshman fell over a cliff at Cayuga Lake while being hazed and was killed. ah memoerw oi ine iraterniiy seen nere to-nliiht look upon the catastrophe as a se rious blow to the socltty.

At the inquest to-aay student Dickinson testined that the walk was not part of the initiation, but only part of a plan to keep Berkely away ircm tne nap nouse. The Coroner's inquest, which was secret, returned a verdict in which it Is said that said drowning was accidental and tae sam was occasioned by act of no other person, and that no individual or society Wjjs in any way liable or responsible-for the Oeath of Edward K.

Special to The Nevi York Times. CHICAGO. 111.. Oct. 28.

A neighbor secured the arrest of Mra Lena Rutz to-day. The woman punishes her husband twice a day, it was explained, and he feared her. Yes, I spank him before breakfast and before supper each day," admitted the defendant. But why do you spank him? Inquired his Honor. Oh he deserves It.

and It Is good for his health. He eats much better after I give him a good spanking." The witnesses further said that each night the defendant prowled through the alleys with a lighted torch and had told her friends she Intended to start another Chl-caeo fire. The case was continued, that the Court might inquire into her sanity. The neighbors say that she breaks their windows and throws missiles at them. DIVIDED SKIBTS CAUSE A BOW.

Special to The New York Times. GREENWICH. Oct. 28. Miss Frances L.

Wood has resigned her position as teacher In the North Street District School on account of the gossip which arose among the residents of that neighborhood when it became known that she rode a man's bicycle and wore divided skirts. The parents of the children feared lest the example of the teacher in this garb should have a bad Influence. There were other complaints made, but when the town school officers sifted them down all there was left was the fact that she wore the offensive divided skirts in school and out of school. The town officials decided to let the teacher select her own apparel Then it became a local issue In the district. Miss Wood Is a graduate of New Britain State Normal School, and a recent teacher in a State school at Warehouse Point.

She began to teach here in September. Her scholars were disobedient at first, but she disciplined them. She locked the door and kept them from running out when fhey pleased. Charles Sllleck tried to jump out of the window, and she pulled him back. Other occurrenc'tjs led the children to complain at home.

A district meeting was held at the school a few nights ago. It was proved to the satisfaction of those present that she made the children obey but that her costume was unfitted for a schoolroom. A resolution was about to be made asking her to don an ordinary costume, when some one discovered that the meeting had not been legally called. An adjournment was then taken. Last night Miss Wood concluded that it would be best to resign, ana sne aiu so.

Kern York. COLUMBIA BEATS YALE AT FOOTBALL Harold Weeks Makes a Touch- down, the Only Points Scored. MAGNIFICENT FIFTY-YARD RUN New Haven Men Are Clearly Outplayed at Every Point. Unable to Withstand the Savage Bushes of the New Yorkers, Whose Victory I Due to the Work of Coach Sanford. Columbia Oval, as Manhattan Field Is to be formally christened In the near future, was yesterday afternoon the scene of one of the most disastrous defeats Tale has ever experienced In her athletic career.

It was also the scene of the most notable victory in the recent athletic history of Columbia. Sturdy, bronsed. plucky, and determined representatives of the two universities met there in a trial of strength, skill, and strategy in a game of football, and Columbia's boys played rings around the Tale boys, defeating them after a magnificent game by a score of to 0. The proud dark blue was trailed lgno-minlously in the dust, for Columbia's players were a first-year team, an experimental one, formed to see if Colombia might not develop an athletic record such as is an honor to other universities. They were not deemed worthy of consideration by the "Big Four" in which Yale has always been a prominent factor.

Yet the untried team tore the stone wall line of Yale, and scattered It almost at will. They outplayed, both offensively and defensively, the arrogant sons of Ell. and did it at straight football at that, without having to retire a man in the forty minutes of play, while Yale had three men-Thomas, Adams, and Hale placed hors de combat. It was a glorious victory for Columbia, and a clean one. It was for the university on Morningside Heights the rising of a new star In the athletic firmament.

WEEKS'S SPLENDID RUN. Columbia must now add to its ncne too long, list of athletic heroes tho name of Harold Weeks of Oyster Bay, L. a freshman who comes from the Morristown (N. School. In about the middle of the second half of the game, he tucked the pigskin under his arm and, running like a deer chased by hounds, sped tbxpugh the ranks the wearers of the blue, dodging the Yalensians at tho fight, those at the left, and those In front of him as skillfully as ever did Lamar or King, Bull or Thome, Ames or Butter-worth, or any other football hero, and at the end of his fifty-yard run Dlanted the ball on the ground back of Yale goal fosts for the only score of the tame, was a brilliant bit of play by the youngster, an exhibition of coolness and strategic headwork that would have brought credit to any veteran at the game.

mere was no accident about It. and Yale men cannot claim any fluke for their piay. yaie's coach. Billy Bull, who In times past has done that sort of thing himself, was willing to admit that It was a nluv nf the A i li. only crumb of comfort In the coacher's vmc, um iMjys ougnt never to have let him get through them." Perhaps not.

Rut rnlnmttiaa Weeks started on his run was simply per- ii piiiueu wie laie noys aoout at will and kept a comparatively clear path for Weeks. Such playing was the highest nosttlhle tprmnnlal I i i clever and thorough work done by George wmpping nis team of green men into shape. Columbia showed in interference. In line bucking, and in holding that she has learned her lesson so well that nothing but a team of the very highest class can now beat her It was lucky for the Princeton players that they met the Columbia eleven when they had a bit of stage fright, and before they were thoroughly whipped Into their best form, as they were yesterday. The Tigers could not now repeat their victory of a couple of weeks ago.

in the opinion of unprejudiced observers, unless Yale's team is very much weaker than even the most prejudiced critics make it. YALE CLEANLY OUTPLAYED. Man for man. Columbia outplayed Yale at every point. Wright, the beefy centre, always had the Hawaiian.

Cunha. at his mercy, and pinned him to earth nearly every time he tried, so that Weeks and Morley, the Columbia backs, who did most of the line bucking, jumped over him as a horse leaps a hurdle. Miller, the right guard, found Brown accredited with being nearly the best of the guards in all collegedom the easiest sort of a proposition, and he and Smyth time and again huried Brown and Hale afiM. fish strong were they, as against this pair, that Ing gains through this point, that was deemed Yale's stronghold. It proved the most vulnerable place in the line, and Columbia worked Weeks and Morley through it for ail they were worth.

They only ceased attacks there to give rest to the overworked backs, when Larendon and Wilson were used as battering rams on the other side of the big centre. Slccovitch was far and away the star end of the game, getting down after the ball in splendid style, and so fast a runner that he was always in the Interference when he was needed. Neither Thomas nor Winter, the Yale ends, seemed the equal of Neidllnger. who is almost as plucky, speedy, and sure as Slocovitch. Longacre the oarsman, who played with the hand that was Injured In the Princeton game done up In a leather mitten, and Knapp easily cared for Olcott and Still-man, their respective opposites on the Yale team.

Capt. McBride. Yale's star full back, could outklck any of the Columbians, perhaps, but the latter managed to block at least two of his punts in splendid style. Sharpe fumbled badly, one of those fumbles resulting Indirectly in the first touch-down by Columbia. That touch-down seemed from the side lines and from the stands alike to be a perfectly fair one, but Dr.

Bovlard. the referee, would not allow it. claiming that his whistle had blown and that down had been called before Morley planted the ball outside the lines for what every one supposed waa a touchdown. As a result of this, and with the ball but a couple of feet from the goal posts there came a touch-back by Yale for safety, following a fumble by Wilson, and then Yale had the ball on her twenty-five-varl line for the kick-off by McBride that eventually led to Weeks's splendid run and to Yale's undoing. BIG CROWD SEES THE GAME.

While there was no such outpouring of people to see the game as there has been at the same field when the Yale and Princeton teams have met there, there were still about 5,000 persons on hand when the teams lined up for the contest. Massed along the viaduct overlooking the ground were fully as many more who made a black fringe along the breast-high walls of the massive structure. Back on the bluff where the Speedway has Its beginning were at least 1,000 more, who had about as good a chance to see what was going on on the field as did those who were massed on the two principal stands about the field. The three remaining stands were bare of spectators, save where a police officer who had nothing better to do climbed on them to get a sight of the struggle. Columbia undergraduates were massed on the bleachers on the north side of the field, a big banner of blue and white denoting the headquarters-of the chief band of "rooters," who certainly did their duty well, working lungs and voices almost as hard as their fellow-students were working arms, legs, and bodies on the grounds where athletic honors were being won and lost.

If there were Yale rooters on the field they were mute, and about the only time when the name of the New Haven college was beard shouted was at the tall end of a couple of rounds of Columbia cheers when the tailing oft was "Yale! Yale! Yale I shouted in good-hearted and good-natured undergraduate fashion. The ground was in splendid condition for play, but the weather was altogether too muggy and- sticky to suit the devotee of football, who, as a rule, prefers a sharp, cold day to play at his best. Nor was there any wind worth noticing. Yale was first on the field, the big Hawaiian guard, Cunha, carrying the ball. There was for them no noisy reception only a sort of half-hearted applause to let them know that there were no hard feelings against them.

But when the brawny Columbians put in an appearance there was such a noisy welcome as the Yale boys get when they are at home. Columbia is rather new at this sort of thing, but the undergraduates caught the spirit fairly well, and wtll be soon able to rival any crowd from Harvard, Princeton, or Yale In the quantity and quality of noise they can produce. OPENING OF THE BATTLE. Preliminaries to the game were quickly disposed of. and Yale having won the toss, chose to defend the east goal, and gave the ball to Columbia to kick off.

But the Columbians had decided to play a defensive rather than an aggressive game at first, and Morley twice punted the ball outside the lines so as to put Yale on the aggressive. An exchange of punts opened the actual piay. In which Yale had a bit the better of it. Then there came a line-up and the beginning of a long struggle In mid-field, with the two lines battering away at each other In efforts to gain a few yards with each charge, Columbia having the ball In her possession most of the time. Weeks and Morley of Columbia were hurled high in the air repeatedly and over the elephantine back of Cunha.

Wright, an apparently lighter man, would grab the bulky being from one of our new colonies and hold him down after the fashion of those pictured athletes of Rome wrestling with a bull. Miller and Longacre would sweep aside the Yale guards opposite them, and then as If some catapult had discharged its missile, either Weeks or Morley would go hurtling through the air head first and with the pigskin pressed to his breast aa If It was of priceless value. It was a sort of thing that was getting decidedly monotonous when a couple of failures to progress the ball made a punt necessary. Wilson made it and Adams returned it before he was tackled. The seemingly ubiquitous Weeks gathered In the flying missile, and before he was caught, thanks to the very clever help of his interference, he had made a run of at least 20 yards Into Yale's territory.

Then there was break In the monotonous C-o-l-u-m-b-l-a! that had been kept up on the bleacherles, and the students let themselves loose In a serious 1 frantic shouts that had no semblance to cheers, only the screeches of men who were beside themselves with lov because the nrunti. tives of their alma mater had made a gain oyer tneir enemy.

YALE MEN TOSSED ABOUT. The ball was In Yale's field, and the Yale men were being tossed about as if they were but pupils in a preparatory school who had by some mistake gotten up against a real football team. If It was a revelation to the students, it was a greater and more puzzling one to the score of Yale coaches and substitutes to see the way that line of Yale's that had been considered so formidable was being beaten and battered and abused. Columbia students had no idea that their team was so good. Yale men had never dreamed of It as a possibility.

Yale's men had been promised that the Columbia game would be a pudding." They found that it was they who were being made the pudding of, and the coaches did not like it a little bit, while the subs shook their heads as they lay near the side lines and marveled at the sort of thing they were put up against. Big Cunha Is getting some practice here, all right, all commented Billy Bull, as be saw the way in which President Low's boys were making him a stepping-stone In their ground-gaining processes. Back and forth, with first one side and then the other having a trifle the better of It. the battle raged, until the whistle of the time keeper blew and announced that the first half of the game was at an end, with the ball still about in the centre of the field where it was when the game began. With a parting cheer to their eleven from the Columbians on the benches, those on the field ran away to the clubhouse for a short rest preparatory to the last half of the game, and then a round for blood." The coaches of both teams went with the players to their quarters and read the riot act to the players for not having scored.

Sanford did not let the Columbians know that he was tickled half to death over the brilliant showing they had made. That is not his policy On the contrary, he told them that they were not half playing the game, and that he should expect a very decided improvement In the next half. You ought to tear that Yale team wide open," he remarked. Don't consider yourselves football players until you wipe up the ground with that team of greenies and cripples. Schoolboys ought to beat them." His talk might have stung some of the panting and perspiring young giants, but it plainly had a good effect.

With the playing ends ot the field reversed the game was resumed after a fifteen-minute intermission. Yale waa cheered by the Columbia boys when the team filed out for play. Previously these same lads had had a session of cheering when Simons, the disabled back, limped across the field with his Columbia Cap and sweater on. TOUCH-DOWN NOT ALLOWED. Yale at once began aggressive tajtlcs, and for about a couple of minutes rather staggered the Columbians with the fierce line bucking that Adams and Sharpe were doing.

Then Columbia pulled herself together with a rush, put an end to the Yale ground gaining, and went Into that sort of business for herself. Directly they got the ball, because Yale could not progress it within the down limits, they sent Morley and Weeks tearing through Yale's lines for gains of from a foot to five or six feet at a time. These gains brought the ball so dangerously near to Yale's line that there was a resort to kicking as soon as the Yalensians got the ball into their possession. But at that game Yale had all the worst of It. Just as they had in the line play.

In the exchange Wilson got a chance for a long kick of about fifty yards. The ball went sailing down toward Sharpe. who waa standing on Yale's ten-yard line to receive It. There was every chance for a fair catch and a good run. apparently, and Sharpe was ready for It.

But. fast as the ball went up field, just about so fast went Slocovitch after it. Sharpe essayed the He fumbled, and before he could get hold of the elusive pigskin Slocovitch had downed him In his tracks and there was no play left in Sharpe for an instant That fimki. rr costly one. for when the line-up came Morley was pushed over the line, to all appearances, for a.

Then the Columbians broke loose In earnest and pandemonium was a dreadful silence compared to the noise they made It the first Ume that Columbia has scored against Yale since 1873. and I played In that game." screeched a gray-haired graduate on the side fines, as he hopped uo and down and embraced the bare-headed and screaming Dr. Walter Peet. coach of the Columbia crew.

It was plain that there was some sort of trouble, and that the touch-down was not to- be allowed to Columbiana Then there were shrieks of disgust, a few cries of "Fraud!" and "Cheat!" though most of tb- students kept their heads and behaved like gentlemen, ready to stand the fortunes of war and football. A line-up one yard from the Yale goal showed that there was either no touchdown or that It was disallowed, and there were all sorts of surmises on the stands as to what it was all about. Dr. BovUrd explained that there was a down and a whisUe for it before Miller had pushed Morley over the line, and that, therefore, the ball was dead when the touch-down was made.

MORLEY FAILS AT THE GOAL. Here were sure points for Columbia. They wanted one more, and Morley went to his post to try to kick a goal.

He was long enough and deliberate enough about it. But he must have had an attack of stage fright." for when he kicked he kicked so low that the ball struck the ground before the goal posts were reached at aiL and Columbia had to be content with the 6 points It had scored. Six minutes were left In which to olav, and In that time the Yale men did -a II in their power to change a defeat into at least a tie game. But the struggle wi useless. Three fresh men had been put in the line, but the change did no good, for the other men were completely worn out and unable to make headway against the strong Columbia line.

And so when the time had expired and the game had ended. It was Yale's ball on her fifty-yard line, of practically in the middle of the field. To the excited cheering of their adherents the Columbia boys ran- to their clubhouse, while the Y'ale men walked slowly and sorrowfully to theirs, and prepared for their sorry journey homeward. Before they were allowed to go to their quarters the Columbia players listened to a few words of congratulation from their coach, and to a short lecture, In which Mr. Sanford advised them not to get big heads sat a consequence of this victory.

"This Isn't real football he told them it's more child's play and Just because It happened to be a Yale team you must not think you are champions. That was not the real Yale stuff, and If you expect to win future games vou will have to put up better game than you have done to-day. Now, bless you. my children. Behave yourselves and we will show them In a couple of weeks that Columbia can be the real thing when we have had a few more minor teams to piav against." What is Yale, anyhow? shouted one of the Columbia enthusiasts on the bleacherles.

Just after Weeks had fairly daubed himself all over with glory In the estimation of the Columbian undergraduates by scoring the onlv touch-down of the game. No answer came, and he shouted his own reply" One of those minor colleges located somewhere down in Connectlcutf" It didn't create so much of a laugh among the youngsters as It did down on the side fines, where a lot of graduates of Yale and Columbia were watching things. -The remark brought back to them past college controversies, when Columbia and Cornell had both been trying to "get Into the game" with Yale and Harvard, and the representatives of Yal spoke thus sneering-ly of the athletes and oarsmen of the New York and Ithaca seats of learning. Billy Bull, Brinck Thome. Hlnkey, and their associate eoaches winced when they heard the sneerW answer, and as they stood dejectedly looking at their eleven it stung aa acid on a fresh made wound.

When the team left their quarters on Manhattan Field to take the coach for the university grounds a crowd of at least a thou- -sand students were waiting to welcome and cheer them. Horses were unhitched from the coach by the half-erased students, who turned the horses over to their driver, fastened themselves to the whiffle trees with long bits of rope, and insisted on dragging the players away to the college campus for a celebration. The last echo of the game for people who csme down on the elevated road train was that of a happy, singing, shouting lot of youngsters dragging the coach and its load around the corner of Seventh Avenue on the way to Morningside Heights and the Joys of -the night. HOW THE GAME WAS PLAYED. Columbia Pat Cp "Yale Football In the Seeend Half and Oatplayed the lew Haven Team te a Man.

When Yale won the toss, and chose the ep.it goal, giving the ball to Columbia to. kick off. the old scry of "Yale luck!" was raised by the local students. It was exactly 2:30 when Morley set the ball In the centre of the field. He was Instructed, apparently, to kick outside, which he did twice.

Yale then took the ball, and Cunha kicked to Columbia's five-yard line. Morley caught the ball, and bad it back ten yards before he was brought down. Morley then tried for an end play, but no gain resulted. Weeks then received his first chance, and went through the centre of the line for about four yards. Another try by Weeks netted no gain, and then Wilson punted.

Fincke made a grab for the balL but urn-. bled, and Slocovitch, who tore through Yale's interference, fell on the ball on Yale's fifty-yard line. Then began a fierce onslaught against the Yale line. Wright was more than a match forCunha. Yale's centre, and when the ball was Passed to Morley he opened up the centre of the line and got through for five yards.

A few seconds later Morley again ct through for four yards, and then Weeks Jumped over Cunha for another yard. Co-Icmbia's offensive play seemed to bewilder the Yale men. in the following play there was a fumble, the ball rolling lack the ten yards that had been sained, and Thomas, Yale's ead, tea.
