Sargent did fairly well against illack. Kasson was busy as long as he was in the game, but did not do remarkably well. The fact is the Harvard lino is weak in the center pokitions. Behind the line Capt Dibblee was the only man to make any long-gains and he made one of his old-time runs that called forth the applause. Warren was net called upon to carry the ball very often.

and when he did carry it. made no long gains. Kendall, toward the end of the first half, succeeded in making some good gains through the center. Ellis who took his place had little opportunity to show what was In him. E.

Kendall, who replaced Warren, made several good tackles. Daly made several pretty punts and one long one. but outside of this Harvard was weak in the kicking department. Cochrane failed to kick an easy goal from the second touchdown, and Daly missed in attempt at a goal place kick from the '30-yard line.

Conn, Oct 1The Tale-Wesleyan football game at Yale field this afterncon resulted in a victory for Yale by a score of 5 to O. The game wee a surprise to both elevens. to Yale because of the small score, and to Wesleyan because. they found themselves even stronger than anticipated. It was the nrst lineup of the visitors, and though.

their line work was at times ragged. and at no time good for mere than a down or two, their heavy rush line showed up remaikably well. Yale's single touchdown Whit made by Marvin in the tirst half. after la minutes of playing. Yale lost several chances for a touchdown by Marvin's tumbles and also by persistent off-side plays.

Weilleyan's line was considerably the heavier. Especially in the second half was Yale lighter. when all of the eleven but De Saulles and Brown were changed for substitutes. The Yale backs fumbled badly at times. The interference of McBride and De Baulles for the back was excellent.

For Wesleyan. Inglis. Raymond and Rymer did yeoman service. Yale's coaches. are well satisfied with the work of the eleven.

in spite of the small score. which they attribute to weather conditions. that made a slow game necessary. The eleven is in the best of condition. Not a Yale man was laid out for a minute because of injuries.

Dartmouth Men Humiliated by the Academy Boys Hersey Kicks a Goal From the 30-Yard Line. HANOVER, II, Oct IUnder a brollIng sun Dartmouth won her first football victory of the season from Exeter this aftetnoon by a score of 33 to 5. But Dartmouth's cup of satisfaction is very shallow, and Dartmouth men are biting their lips with vexation and humiliation over the fact that an academy eleven should have scored upon them On their own Hersey. Exeter's star fullback. when he kicked a goal from the field at Dartmouth's 30-yard line, won for the Exeter eleven an honor that Amherst and Williams have sought for the past two years in vain.

Exeter is the second team to score against the home grounds. and the Exeter boys were fairly wild with delight. This, with the of a few 20 and 25-yard runs by Jennings and Stickney, was the star play of the game. Dartmouth's backs worked hard and Well. but the Interference and aggressive work was wretched, and the Work lamentably weak.

Capt Crolius was not able to play. and Wentworth captained the eleven. Stickney. Jennings and Proctor were the strength of the team. Proctor's playing was something remarkable for a new man.

Exeter displayed more spirit, snap and nerve than in any previous year. The work of Capt Baldwin and the lIerseys was of a high Mee.

The men are as fine a collection of athletes physically as any Seam can show. outweighing Pennsylvania 10 potuids per man, and combining agility and speed with strength and weight. Pennsylvania's game was faulty in several -respeete, but in the main was developed far beyond what might be expected at this season of the year. Outland made folir maanIfloent runs of 50 yards each, twice scOring touchdowns.

while Harrison three times car-red the ball across the goal line by long dodging runs. One touchdown wati scored on a blocked kick. and the other on straight center plays. McCracken carrying the-ball over. The work of all three of these men was excellent.

Hedges and Folwell at end played very strongly, breaking up the, interferenee and following the ball, while Overfield at center signalized his return to the, team by his fine playing. Bert Waters umpired the game, and between the halves said he thought the Quakers played a stronger frame than be had ever seen them play at this early date. In the second half, however, fumbling was more conapicuous. The first severe accident of the year nccurred when Schoffstall had his collar bone broken.

tented Lehigh 43 to O. The weather was uncomfortably warm for football. and Princeton's heavyweight line men werein bad shape after the last half. Both teams played in miserable form. Rosengarten's slowness delayed the playing in the first half and his furrbliogcost Princeton at least one touchdown.

There was not the slighte-st evidence of team play on either side. Princeton's line wan too much for the visitors, and they shoved their light team hack by mwin strength, while the fumbling of Lehigh's backs accounted for most of Princeton's scoring.

In this ward the petition for the recount was made by a representative, of Mr Allen but not a delegate. The point was by Mr Paul that the petition coming from such a source could not be entertained.

His contention was agreed to by both the chairman and the secretary of the caucus and no recount was held.

BIOS ON FOUR NEW MONITORS, Builders at Elizabeth, NJ Newport Newsy 'Ala, Me, San FraosIsce Offered toMake Them the Cheapest. WASIIINGTON. Oct 1Bids were opened at the navy department today for the construction of four harbor defenae vessels of the monitor type, authorized by congress, at an expenditure of $1.250,000 tot each monitor.

There were some in the act. such, for Instance, as that not more than two of the vessels should be built in one shipyszd, while an allow ante of 4 percent was made In favor 0i the Paciilc coast ship builder' in ease they made bids. The act also provides that the secretsry of the navy shall award the contract to the "lowest but responsible bidder," which is unusual, and seems to admit or the disregard of bids from any but the most responsible firms. The act also directed the secretary to have in view "the beet results and most expeditioue delivery." Consequently the department, in laying down its requirements, made 27 months the'maximum time for the tompletion of the veesels, and provided a penalty ranging from $300 to $600 per day for any delay In their completion. The lowest bidders were, in the order named, as follows: The bids as submitted were as follows: Lewis Nixon $825.000, to be completed 1T1 24 months; Newport News $860,000 in 27 months; Union iron works, 27 months: Maryland steel companY, vrtiL000, in 2S months; Wolff Bewicker.

4937,500, in 27 months; the W. B. Fletcher company. in 21 months; Columbian iron works $1,055,000. in 2 months.

and John Diagloue. $1471,000. tfl 211 months. From the face of the bids it would se that the lowest bidders for the four vessels were Nixon, Newport News, the Bath and the Union iron works. The last would seem to be entitled to receive a monitor even without the allowance of 4 percent which the law provides in the case of the bidders on Pacific coast.

This is made possible bY the fact that all of the bidders, including the three who were lower than the Union iron works, limited their bids to one monitor each. Thd bureau chiefs of the navy department are congratulating themselves that the bids are well within the limits fixed by congress, and as there is little opPor tunity for irregularity in the bide to the fact that one set of plane were open. it La probable. that there will be no difficulty In awarding the contracts.

Not one-third the regular race going crowd in this city expected the riders would come to the tape when the final stet) had to be taken. Three events were on today's a two-third-mile open; a class race for riders not having BO points in the championship table and a one-mile handicap sweepstakes, with an entrance fee of $3 an.I $50 added by the management. in which the riders very generally took part. In the two-third-mile contest the surprise of the heats was the shutting out of McFarland from the final, that rider being beaten by Kimball and Steenson.
