One hundred of the Butler contingent followed the blue and white flag down Washington street last night, advertising a victory scored against the Methodl3t college In a variety of unmusical yells, such as only college boys can invent.

The praises of Butler were sung to the tune of "Happy Day" and dirges were: sung to DePauw, which were mindful of the recent Democratic funeral The most thorough congeniality has not existed between the students of the two colleges for some years, and Butler last night celebrated a victory quite as great as the one for DePauw last year. But the DePauw men took the bantering In good humor, and one tall, lank fellow wearing a yard of orange ribbon and a huge yellow chrysanthemum, sang out after the procession: "We are not dead, but sleeping and we'll get you next year." A larger crowd than usual was evidence of the Improvement of the game reultlng from the new rules, as well as of interest In the two colleges. The afternoon was raw and cold for the spectators but well suited for the Intense activity of the game, and the crowd stayed until the close, which wa3 In the late twilight. A special train from Greencastle brought over about one hundred students bedecked with the patriotic colors and confident of victory, but Butler, too, was confident, and a large number of alumni were there to see the defeat administered. Prominent unong the spectators was the portly Mayor Van Buskirk, of Bloomington, who has a penchant for the game royal, and his practiced eye followed the game, and loud were his shout3 Tor Gifford or Parker as they executed beautiful plays.

Despite the efforts of the police the excised crowds broke over the lines and crowded close to the scrimmages, but fortunately interfered with no piay.s. The game was billed to open at but the DeFauw special was uelayed and tne frame was not called until 3J. The teams ined up as follows: Butler. Position. DePauw.

Barnett Center Terrell Kingsbury Right guard Mitchell Lister IlUht tackle Bohland Parker Right end Dee Beville Left guard Davis Owlngs Left tackle Roller Preeman Left end Rauh Foster Quarter Kuykendall Hall Right half Scotten Clifford ieft half Reeve Cullom Full back Ballard L. A. Downs, Purdue, acted as referee: P. D. Grant, University of Chicago, as umpire, and Corbett and Flint as line men.

DePauw started with the ball, Ballard kicking it down the field to Gifford, who returned it ten yards. Hall caned it through the tackle for eight and then for rive yards, but DePauw stole the ball and Reeves returned it for fifteen yards in a beautiful play, breaking the line between tackle and end, Ballard gained two yards 'and Scotten raised DePauw stock by a ten-yard gain around the right end. De -Pauw was going rapidly to goal but lost ito Butler on a fumble. After gains by Gifford and Hall Butler was given ten on an off side play. Raub broke through the Butler line and tackled Hall with a los3 of five yards.

It was Butler's turn to lose the ball, but Cullom made a feint and kicked the ball thirty-five yards down tho lield. Ballard fumbled it and Owings, beautifully guarded by Kingsbury, snatcned the ball, followed his Interference for twenty yards-live yards and made a touchdown. Parker failed to kick goal and the score was four for Butler, Bollard kicked the pigskin twenty-flve yards, but Cullom fumbled and Scotten captured the ball. Scotten distinguished himself by making gains of four, five and nine yards, and the ball advanced rapidly. It was once fumbled to Butler, who quickly lost on downs after a herioc struggle within three yards of the enemy's goal, but Mitchell plunged over the line, making the first and only goal for DePauw.

Ballard kicked goal, and the score stood: Butler, DePauw, C. Beville kicked the. ball thirty-five yard3 for Butler. It was well caught by Reeves and returned for five yard. He started again, but Hall broke through and tackled him, with a loss of live yards.

Ballard now punted down the field, but Butler fumbled to Roller. Scotten made a splendid run of seventeen yards around the left end. Ballard carried it five, Mitchell five more, and after several short pains DePauw lost-on four downs when within the ten-yard line. Parker stimulated the tin horns and hoarse voices of the Butler partisans by making a long sprint around the left end, following the -fine guarding of Gifford, Beville and Owings clear across the field and thirty-five yards into the enemy's ground, where he was tackled by Kuykendall. Butler now advanced eight yards by Hall through the tackle, five by Beville through the center, and Lister's move around the end.

When near the gonl she fumbled to DePauw, but the Methodists were too surprise! to speak and lost In downs. Hall sailed around to the left end for a touchdown and Ballard kicked goal. DePauw, 6: Butler, 10. DePauw pained thirty yard3 in the kick-off, but Cullom cauzht the oval and made short return. Gifford went around the right end for fifteen yards, but was brought down by Kuykendall and Reeves.

Hall sprinted clear across the field, but made no gain, and Beville made elht yards through the center. HohlanJ, DePauw's rlsjht guard, arose from the heap with a broken collar bone and was replaced by Gary. Bohland was a crack man and DePauw's line was much weakened by his retirement. Glf-ford's blood was now aroused and he made gain cf twenty-eight yard3, guarded by Hall. Tarker advanced the ball by twenty yards, and Hall plunged through a scrimmage for eight yards snd a touchdown.

Parker kicked goal and raised the score to 18. DePauw kicked the ball thirty yards, but she had l03t her grip, and Parker gained twenty-four yards around her right end, and the ball went toward Butler's goal. Mitchell and Dee tackled fearlessly and well, but Gifford started for riuht end. gave the ball to Hall for the left, the criss-cros was a success and Hall made fifty vards. Gifford cleared the remaining three yards and made the touchdown.

Goal was kicked nd the score stood Butler. 22: DePauw. a. when time was called. In the second half the plucky nttie jacx ivuy Kendall was retired, his place being taken by Rurlck.

Thus DePauw was weakened by the loss rf two of her best men, but she plaved the tialf with a cood deal of spirit, although now outclassed at every point. Ballard etarted the ball for twenty yards, and Reeves saved it for DePauw. But the advantage was lost, and after short runs by Butler, GifTord broke through the line, dodged the full back, who fell on his face, and had a clear field for a fifty-yard sprint and the goal. Butler 23. Ballard now made a magnificent kick of fifty yards, but Butler returned rapidly.

DePauw once secured the ball, but quickly lost it and the El wood man made several fine runs behind the fine Interference of Barnett and Kingsbury, and smiled as he carelessly dropped the ball over the line. Parker this time failed to kick goal and the score was 22 to 6. Ballard kicked the ball forty yards down the floM. but Butler repeated the old storv. and after a fine exhibition of team work she gave GifTord another goal to his credit, and finished the score.

Butler, S3; DePauw. 6. Butler's playing was evidence of the rapid development of a raw team In the hand of an experienced trainer who has een the latest and highest exposition of the frame. Much praise Is due coacher Flint for the work he has accomplished In such a short time. The DPauw team also shows Improvement at Corbett's hands, but c.r-curnsur.ces have not been altogether favorable for the best work at the homo of the college, and when Iiohland and Kuykendall left the field the team was demoralized, lv.it r.lthouch weak there Were no such exhibitions of screen and awkward playing as characterized the game with the Artillery.

The game throughout was an exhibition of tine playing, although Butler did mot of It. Uutler will meet Wabnsh in this city on Noy.

10. The long-looked-for day has come, and Wabash and Purdue football teams have had their yearly tus3le. Purdue won by a score of 44 to 0. The day opened with snow and rain, ani this kept up until after dinner, but Ju3t as the Purdue delegation pulled in at the depot the sun burst forth. The Purdue team took this as a good omen, and off they went on a rush to the college campus.

There were 223 "rooters" come down from Lafayette with the njrdue team, and they wore large yellow chrysanthemums and old-gold and black ribbons, and carried heavy hickory canes. They probably remembered the purport of the notice that wa3 posted on the Purdue bill board yesterday: "Go down to Wabash with your best hickory club in your right hand, with your right elbow well greased and red blood corpuscles In your right eye." The Purdue boys brought along an av- wore white chrysanthemums and red rib- I bons, and. carried the ever-present cane. Just as the game was called it commenced to rain, snow and hail, and the game was played in slush and mud in the presence of several hundred. A.

V. Randall was referee; Vail, of University of Pennsylvania, umpire, and Rafferty, of Chicago, Wabash's coacher, was timekeeper. The line-up was as follows: Wabash. Positions. Purdue.

Dowdall Left end Marshall Grlest Left tackle Smith Bushneil Left guard Buchanan Center Robertson Kern Right Fulkerson(capt) Ashman Itight tackle Alward Little Right end Mcilenry Right half back Bushman Stott Left half back Moore Huffer Quarter back Gerber Fry (capt.) Full back Jamison FIRST HALF. Wabash won toss and took east goal. Purdue kicked twenty yards and gained the ball on downs; by splendid team work forced the ball to the goal line. Fulkerson kicked goal. Purdue, Wabash, 0.

Wabash kicked twenty yards and gained ball on down, but failed to make a gain. Fur-due tried the right end, but lost the ball on foul Interference. Wabash forced the ball to the five-yard line, but lost through a mistake in the signals. Purdue then forced the ball to the center of the field, but lost on downs. Wabash was unable to gain and Pt.rdue took the ball.

Busch-man then made a brilliant run of sixty-five yards, scoring a touchdown. The goal was failed. Purdue, 10; Wabash. 0. Wabash kicked, but was unable to stop Purdue's Interference, and after few plays the goal was again reached.

Fulkerson kicked. Purdue, 16; Wabash, 0. Wabash made a grand spurt and carried the ball to the ten-vard line, but lost on downs. Purdue, without losing the ball, forced It over the goal line, but the try at goal was lost. Purdue, 20; Wabash.

0. The rest of the half was but a repetition of the former plays, the half closing with Purdue, 22; Wabash, 0. In the second half Wabash played a better game and Purdue wa3 only able to make two touchdowns. Final score: Purdue, 41; Wabash, 0. The features of the game were the playing of Buschman.

of Purdue, and the tackling of Huffer, of Wabash. Purdue's team work was the finest ever seen on these grounds, and the way they met Wabash's play was wonderful IMrdue played the same kind of a game it has in former years. When one of her men would start with the ball, he had protection. This seemed to be what was lacking in the Wabash team, arfd contributed much to the result. The Wabash team 4s equal in other respects, and was a complete check to center rushes, the Purdue men making advances chiefly by runs around the ends, where the men had protection.

The Purdue men say that Wabash has a better tenm than formerly. The Wabash admirers bet freely on Wabash making a touchdown, but lost. Central Academy, lj Lebanon, O. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Nov.

10. The Lebanon High School football team was defeated In an exciting game at the ball park here this afternoon by the Central Academy score was 12 to 0. rrTXin DOWSED. Princeton Defeated by. V.

of ly tx Score of 12 to TRENTON N. Nov. 10. Stalwart sons of old Pennsylvania to-day clipped the claws of the Princeton "tigers" by the score of, 12 to 0. It was a glorious triumph for the red and blue, and places Pennsylvania In the very front ranks of the football teams.

Where the sturdy atheletes of ancient Yale had failed and given up championship honors Pennsylvania attacked. Crashing through and breaking asunder that hitherto Invincible Hue, they carried the ball forward and onward over the touchdown line and planted the red and blue flag behind the goal post. The "tigers," who three hours before bounded on the gridiron full of confidence, now filed sadly off the field, many of them so weak and crippled that they had to be borne in the arms of comrades. The big crowd went wild. The huge yellow chrysanthemums and the long black streamers faded from sight.

In their places hundreds of blue and red umbrellas, blue and red handkerchiefs, and red ribbons burst into view like magic. The vast throng whooped and yelled till the bis Statehouse far away in Trenton fairly quivered. Finally the enthusiasm became boundless, and, like a great flood, the crowd surged out Into the gridiron and, hoisting the "Quaker" kickers upon their shoulders, carried them in triumph from the grounds. It was a grand battle, stubbornly fought. But try as they did the "tigers" at no time had a chance of victory.

Pennsylvania cut-played them man for man, and never was the "Quaker" goal in danger. The mighty Wheeler was tossed like a baby in the arms of the giant Wharton. Trenchard, prince of end runners, found in Gelbert a king. Lea, the famous tackle, struggled manfully and vainly against his curley-headed opponent. Wagonhurst.

Osgood, Brooke, Gelbert and Wharton and Knipe were all intrusted with advancing the ball, and all justified the confidence placed In them. Williams, the plucky little quarter back, handled himself like a veteran and scored the first touchdown for the red and blue. The ball had been passed back to Cochran for a kick on Princeton's twenty-yard line, but the "tiger" full hack punted the bail into the ranks of his own men, and Williams, with agility, tucked the leather under his left arm, da3hed down through the "tiger's" ranks and dropped it behind the goal post. Brooke placed the ball squarely between the posts and over the bar, scoring six points for Pennsylvania. This was in the second half and about ten minutes after play had been called.

No scoring was done in the first although the "Quakers" took the ball within six inches of Princeton's goal line, about the middle cf the first half and lost it on four dawns through what was probably an error cf Judgment. Knipe signaled Gelbert to go througn the tackle. The "Tigers" massed at tms point and barely managed to down the Pennsylvania full back. It looked as if they were anticipating a center play, and had Gelbert ben swung around the end. a play on which they nearly always gain, he would undoubtedly lu.ve gotten it over, as he had little more thaA a yard to go.

Throughout this half, as well as In the next the ball was almost constantly In Princeton's territory. Never were "Tigers" nearer to Pennsylvaniaa 25-yard limit, and then only on kicks which Brooke immediately returned, gaining from ten to twenty yards on every exchange of punts with Cochran. Pennsylvania's second touchdown was made about five minutes before the call of time. The "Quakers" pounded throuph the tackles, pierced the center and had carried the ball to Princeton's ten yard line. Here it was passed to Osgood who, like a Hash, wheeled to the left, shook himself loose from the Princeton end rush and carried the ball over the line.

As in the former case the goal was an easy one for Brooke. After this the Pennylvania3 may be said to have toyed with the "User." They took no chances whatever and Brooke wouid Kick every time the ball approaened Pennsylvania's territory. This was a gain that featM the red and blue while the Princeton men at this ftige or the contest were toppling over by two and three on every line-up. Throughout the game Brooke's kicking was a brilliant feature and perhaps never has its equal been teen on the football Held. No matter how hard pressed or how close the rushers were upon him he always punted long ani surely.

Although a great surprise to the multitude and ev.m to foot ball experts generally speaking. It was a cler rise of the vanquished team being outclassed. The. teams lined up as follows: Pennsylvania, Position. Princeton.

Gelbert Left end Smith Wagonhum Left tackle Lea Woodruff Left guard Taylor Bull Center Rlggs Wharton Right guard Wheeler Minds Riht tackle Rosengarten Right end Trenchard Williams Quarter back Poe Knipe Right half back Moise Osgood Lift half back Ward back Cochran Ynle, GO; Lehigh, O. NEW YORK, Nov. 10. Yale easily defeated Lehigh at the Polo grounds here today by the score of 50 to 0. The grounds were In a very muddy condition, which prevented long runs.

Some of Yale's players were in Trenton witnessing the game there, and practically not much more than one-half of the university team played. In the rush line many of the best men were absent, but. even so, Lehigh was able to make little impression by bucking it, hardly gaining a yard. Yale frequently broke through, stopping plays, and especially punts. A feature of Yale's play was the catching of a punt by a Yale back and his immediately passing the ball to the full back for a return punt.

Yale hardly showed championship form, the play being slow, but this seemed due to the poor condition of the ground. Broke Up In Row. IOWA CITY, Nov. 10. A great cro wd witnessed to-day a hotly-contested game between the State University and Grinnell teams.

At 4:30 the scord stood 12 to 12. At this point It was claimed that Grinnell seized the ball after "down" was called and made a run and touchdown. The referee refused to allow it. and ordered the ball back. Captain Crary, of the Grinnell team, ordered his men to quit unless the touchdown was counted.

An anry discussion ensued, and the referee finally gave the game to the State University team, to 0. The Grinnell people are very Indignant, and assert that they were entitled to the touchdown. Harvard, 20; Chicago A. O. CAMBRIDGE, Mass.

Nov. 10. Harvard won from Chicago A. A. this afternoon by a score of 36 to 0.

The crimson eleven played splendid football from start to finish and the westerners were never near the goal line. Harvard's backs showed fine interference in the first half and rolled up twenty-four points with ease. The Chicago men played a hot game to the end but were outclassed. Stevenson and McCormick were the strongest men in the line and Camp did some pretty work in breaking up the interference. The largest crowd of the year saw a splendid game.

Neither Side Scored. ALBANY, N. Nov. 10. Naver was a more hotly contested game of football played, or never were teams pitted against each other so evenly matched, as in the game played at the Ridgetleld gridiron fthis afternoon between Cornell and 1111am.

TENNESSEE IN LIE EVAXS, THE REPUBLICAN CANDI DATE FOR GOVERNOR, ELECTED. Tnrnej'i Defeat Conceded ly Demo crntM, but Cliargci of Fraud in the Eastern Part of the State Made, CALIFORNIA STILL IN DOUBT DUDD'S APPARENT PLURALITY RE DUCED BY LATEST RETURNS. Maryland Democrats Outvoted 2,470 by Republicans Belated Figures from Other States. NASirVILLE, Nov.

10. The Democratic executive committee practically admits the election of Evans, (Rep.) on the face of the returns. The Republican committee claims his election by from 1,400 to 1,500 votes. There will, from present indications, be a contest when the Legislature meets to canvass the returns. The Legislature is Democratic In both branches.

The Democrats claim that they have conclusive evidences of frauds perpe trated in East Tennessee counties, and that returns from many of them have been padded to show more votes and larger majori ties for Evans than he received, and that when these are eliminated Turney's undis puted vote will give him a majority. The Legislature meets In January, 1895. Further returns to-night, from two counties In West Tennessee, show that the former statements from them were Incorrect and reduce Tur ney's vote about 1,200, which elects Evans by the face of the returns. The American, from late and corrected returns, admits that Evans has (0 over Turney by the face of the returns. There is much excitement, and newspaper bulletin boards have been surrounded by throngs all day, and to-night the street In front of the American office Is crowded.

The returns have come In earlier than ever before, but there has not been for thirty years as close a race a3 the present one. Heretofore sufficient counties have been heard from on election night to show conclusively the result, but this time all calcu lations have been upset. To-night Republicans serenaded Mr. Ev ans, who Is in the city, and wanted him to speak, but he declined. Both of the parties charge each other with holding back re- turns, although the newspapers have re ceived returns more rapidly than from any previous election.

IN CALIFORNIA. fludd's Apparent Plurality for Gover nor Dwindling; Awuy. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10. The close of the election week flnd3 the politicians and the public generally in California very far at sea in regard to the result of the gubernatorial election in this Wrhat was at first supposed to be decided victory for Budd, the Democratic candidate, has now developed Into a ques tion of very serious doubt, and the official janvas3 will probably be necesary to de cide the contest between Budd and his opponent, Estee.

During the last twenty-four hours there has been a great reduc tion In Budd's plurality and, with the re- of election returns from almost every s.ounty, be suffers a loss of a few votes. fhere are" precincts in the State and when returnshad been received from 1,600 of them Budd apparently had a safe plurality of over 2.0l and his election waa conceded practically by everyone. The sit uation has changed since then, however, ind now with precincts heard from. plurality haslvvindled to five hundred. In the meantime, the Democratic State central committee is claiming Budd's plur ality in tne city or fcan Francisco will be ioO In exccs3 of 1,100, which had been generally accepted for the last day or two.

ir this claim De correct then Iiudd plurality is now 1,000, with over 200 precincts the State to be heard from. There Is a prospect that if Budd be declared elected tfter the omc.al canvass next week the ttepublicans will contest it and carry the natter to the Legislature, which is sronir- ly Republican. So far as the remainder of i.he btate ticket Is concerned the Repub licans have carried practically everything; tnu nave aiso eiectea six oi tne seven con gressmen. NET GAIN' OP 23,000. Maryland Republicans Cast 2,4 70 More Votes than the Democrats.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 10. The American says that not only have the Republicans elected outright three Congressmen, but their total vote in this State is greater than that cast by the Democrats. All of which shows that had there been a State election the Republicans would have gained a sub stantial vicory. Their plurality, based on the congressional vote, is add to' this the Democratic plurality In 1SD2, when six Democratic congressmen were elected, and we have a net gain of 23.C63.

Had the election been entirely fair, there is little doubt that the Republicans would have gained in round numbers 30,000. If this vote can be next year, and the party presents an equally united front, they will aot only elect the State oflicers, but the Legi'slature as well. They carried the counties of Allegany, Anne Arundel, Jalvert. Caroline, Carroll, Cecil. Charles.

Talbot and Washington, and the Third legislative district of Baltimore cits, wnile the Democrats carried only the seven remaining jountles and two legislative districts in Bal timore, and these by either small or very much reduced majorities. The cause of the Democratic Waterloo Is generally beiieved to be due to the action of the party with reference to the tariff. TEXAS RETURNS.
