Both teams exerted themselves and towards the last Pensacola rallied though time was called with the ball fifteen vards in Pensacola's teritory. Pensacola while great in strength was not in it with manager McKinney's boys whose team work was jam up man to man.

Elmore's daring tackle and Will's kicking brought forth cheers from the ensacola faction, Pennysivania, 12; Cornell, 6. Philadelphia, Nov. a field knee deep with mud University of Pennsylvania this afternoon defeated Corby a score of twelve to The game was played during a blizzard o11 sloppy grounds. The wretched condition of the field made it almost an impossibility to execute long runs, and Coach Woodruff's famous "guards back" formation was rendered almost useless, simply because the men could not get enough solid foothold to get under way. Then, too, it was absolutely impossible to prevent fumbling and to do accurate kicking.

Hare's two attempts at kicking the ball out of danger when it was within a few feet of the Red and Blue's goal line in the first half caused the first score, and C. Young's kick, which went almost parallel with the yard lines right into Hedge's hands, was responsible for Pennsylvania's second down. Hedge had clear field, and the touchdown was easy. The urst half closed with the score 6 to 0 in favor of Cornell. During the last fifteen minutes of the first half the ball had been kept in Pennsylvania's territory because of Hare's failure to punt more than fifteen or twenty yards.

C. Young, who did the punting for the vis. itors, gained from ten to twenty yards in this half on each exchange of punis. In the second half things were different. When the Pennsylvania players went into their dressing room they exchanged the wet heavy suits they had been wearing for new dry ones, and when they reappeared on the gridiron with their dry clothing and wind in their favor, everybody expected that they would redeem themselves.

This they did in a measure, carrying the ball down the field by steady plunges, varied with an occasional end run to Cornell's twenty-five yard line, from where Outland carried it over for a touchdown on a delayed pass. The play during the second half Was almost entirely in Cornell's territory, the carnelian and white being forced to play on the defensive nearly the entire half. Both teams relied almost wholly on straight football. For Cornell, Sweetland, Starbuck, Lueder and C. Young did the best work.

The former in particular put up remarkable game. Outland, Coombs and Hare were the best ground gainers for the Quakers. The rough weather had no apparent effect on the attendance at the game, and by 2 o'clock there were about 000 people in the huge amphitheatre. Nelther did the severe storm dampen their ardor, for there was an incessant yelling kept up from the time the ball was kicked off at 2:09 until time was called for the end of the game. Philadelphia, Nov.

bail was put in play at 2:05 and Hare kicked off to G. Young, who carried the ball back five yards and on the nest down the pigskin went to the middle of the field. Pennsylvania slowly carried the ball forward and lost it on a fumble on Cornell's 50-yard line. On the line-up it was sent to Pennsylvania's 50-yard line.

It was here Starbuck went through Pennsylvania's center for fifty yards and a few seconds later Pennsylvania got the bail on the 7-yard line.

Aided by a penalty for an -side play the ball was soon on Pennsylvania's 3-yard line. Hare kicked into Cornell'e line and Sweetland fell on the ball behind Pennsylvania's goal line. G. Young kicked the goal. Score: Cornell, Pennsylvania, 0.

For the rest of the first half Cornell held the heavy Pennsylvania players beautifully and time was called with the ball on Pennsylvania's 22-yard line. In the second half Pennsylvania went at Cornell with a rush through her center for repeated gains and soon had the ball on her 23-yard line. Then Outland made Pensylvania's first score, carrying the ball twenty-five yards on a delaved pass for a touchdown and kicked a goal. The next few moments of play were full of fumbles and unsuccessful attempts on both sides to break through the line. Outland finally kicked to Cornell's 20-yard line and after an unsuccessful try at Center, Cv Young kicked the ball directly into Hedge's hands on Cornell's.

Pat O'Dea is king. He demonstrated today in the game between the elevens representing the University of Wisconsin and Northwestern University and before one of the largest crowds ever assembled at Evanston to witness football game that he is one of the greatest kickers ever seen on a gridion. Standing on the 55-yard line, he kicked a goal from the field.

The ball went high above and squarely between the goal posts. Twice he missed a goal by the narrowest of margins from the 60-yard line and made another from the 30-yard line. His punts averaged, over fifty yards. His all around play showed a vast improvement, the Arm footing giving him an opportunity to show his sprinting and dodging, al jity. His tackling was hard and sure and his return of the ball after a kick was equal to Hershberger's.

Wisconsin's exhibition of team work was beautiful. The whole team played a fast, snappy game. The interference forced rapidly and started fast. Northwestern played a hard, plucky game but was outclassed at all points. WISCONSIN, 47; NORTHWESTERN, 0.

0'Dea Kicks a Goal from the 55- yard Line. Evanston, Nov. MICHIGAN, 12; CHICAGO, 11, Hershberger Did All the Work for the Losing Team. Chicago, Nov. -The Western football championship goes to Michigan.

On a field that was simply perfect for fast football. and before 12.000 people, the Maroons of Chicago lost to Michigan today by a score of 18 to 11. Michigan's score represents two touchdowns, goals being kicked in each instance. Chicago made one touchdown, a goal and a goal from placement. Hershberger was a big factor in the game.

Every one of Chicago's eleven points were made by him. He kicked a goal from placement on the forty-five yard line in the first half, and scored a touchdown and goal during Chicago's desperate rally near the close of the second half. The work of the Michigan ends was beautiful. Michigan, with the exception of one or two double passes, relled almost altogether on straight football, line bucking and runs around the end. Chicago, on the contrary, used trick plays throughout, but team work of a high order was shown by both elevens.

In the first half Michigan secured a touchdown, but Hersberger kicked goal from the forty-five yard line, Score, to 5 for Michigan. In the second half, each side scored touch down and a goal. Score, 6-6. Total score, 12 to 11 in favor of Michiran. Washington, Ncv.

Atlanta, Nov.

strong eleven of the Auburn University today defeated the University of Georgia team before a tremendous crowd at Piedmont Park. Score: Auburn ...18 Georgia .....17 Georgia's team came on the field in a deplorable phygical condition. That Auburn won even after the great advantage for her opponents one Arst half ended in was not a surprise to many who saw plainly that Georgia could not stand up under the exertion. Four of the Georgia team were laid out in the second half, principally from exhaustion and one was so far gone that he was compelled to leave the game for good. The Auburn eleven by sheer pluck and an ability to stick to their work.

During the game not one of the Auburn men was forced to leave the field. Under the rules of the Southern Intercollegiate Association, following the decision of the referee over a squabble, the game ended in a score of 18 to 0 in Auburn's favor, but in actual work Georgia scored as many touchdowns as Auburn and lost on points as a result of the inability of Quarterback Huff to kick two goals. When Captain Walden of Georgia ordered his men off the field with eight minutes and thirty seconds still to play Auburn had scored eighteen points to Georgia's seventeen. The struggle came to an end in a squabble between Captain Walden and Umpire Rust. The point in question was one that lay wholly in the province of the umpire to decide and that official decided according to his knowledge of the game.

Cox, the lefthalfback of Georgia had just scored a touchdown after a brilliant run for forty-five yards from the field. The ball was given to Quarterback Huff near the north end of the Auburn goal line for a kickout and the Auburn men were lined up behind their goal while the Georgia team was scattered about the field for a fair catch necessary before the goal could be tried. Hut sent the oval high in the air and before it reached Cox who was standing in position to receive the kick, the Auburn men broke from their position and interfered with the catch. Captain Walden claimed offside in that the men. left their position behind their goal before Huff's fcot came in contact with the ball but Umpire Rust ruled that Auburn was not offside and that they had a perfect right to charge after the ball was kicked.

Many criticised Captain Walden for ordering his men off the field for if he had accepted the ruling he would have a choice of either kicking off or receiving the ball from Auburn. The most striking feature of the game was the total inability of either Georgia's or Auburn's line to stand up under the rushes of the fast backs. Georgia's line, filled with big strapping fellows gave way at every leap of the Auburn backs and men who were in good physical condition could have played Auburn off her feet in five minutes, showed a lack of grit which but for the weight of the Auburn forwards would have written the doom of Georgia before the end of the first half. Notwithstanding the miserable work of the two lines, the game was one of brilliant plays, quick and rapid passes in which both quarterback Huff and quarterback Huguley excelled. In the first half on a beautifully worked fake pass, Huff sailed around left end for a run of thirty yards to Auburn's 15-yard line and later on the play carried the ball twenty yards through a mass of Auburn men.

The principal figure in the two elevens, the man on whom the victory of Auburn so much depended was Captain am, the right guard whose bucks time and again carried the oval nearer Auburn's goal and who during the entire game never failed to gain when the play was in' his position. Cox of Georgia made the star play of the game. The Georgia back was given the ball at the Auburn 45-yard line and with the darkness in his favor he flitted around left end skillfully evading his pursuers and landed the ball safely behind the goal line for touchdown.

El Porvenir prints a two column article with reference to the intention of a colored preacher of Topeka, to bring thirty families of negroes and establish a town in the highlands above Santiago, which shall be known as Topeka. El Porvenir demands that the people that they are frequently guilty of horriboycott the Yankee negroes, asserting crimes, and that the Southern States, anxious to be rid of their colored population, will endeavor to send them, to Cuba.
