whether or not Ralied carried the ball over. In some points the game was disappointing. With the exception of one thirty-yard run by E. Dillon, Prince ton's quarterback, the contest was lacking in sensational plays, such as the spectators had expected. EARLHAM WINS-LUST CONTEST COAL FAMINE IS FEARED MANY CITIES AFFECTED Defeated Miami University by Score of 1 1 to 0 Yesterday Afternoon.

Dealers in Indiana Have Hard Work to Get any Varieties From the West Virginia Fields Wholesalers Fear Great Shortage. FIELD WAS SEA OF MUD GOOD FOOTBALL WAS OUT THE QUESTION, BUT THE QUAKERS EXCELLED AS MUD Philadelphia, Nov. t. Mighty Michigan has fallen. Outplayed, outgeneraled, outkicked and outclassed, the erstwhile mighty Wolverines were dragged down to a 17 to 0 defeat here this afternoon by Pennsylvania Pennsylvania, cenerallv regarded as the ioke of the season among eastern football dopesters.

The score was the biz surnrise of th season, biesrest possibly to the victors. Michigan was confident. the 'ipatn was generally regarded as the weakest that had worn the maize and blue in years. But it was Yosts team. It was "Michigan." The name itself carried weight, and a record of years untarnished by -defeat command ed resDect.

Today it was different The old spirit was there but the Wol verines had met their match. It was a fight to the last, but there was nev er any doubt as to the outcome. There was the honor of a game fight for the Wolverines, but the sweets of victory were all for the Quakers. It was when all hopes of victory were gone that Michigan made her pluckiest fight not to win, It was too late for that, but to score to save herself from the fate which she had dealt to so many luckless opponents. But it was no use.

The Quakers had tasted rr-l I.J victory, i uey uisisitu upuu it unalloyed. It was a sad day for the western football enthusiasts who have for the past years contented that the game played west of the Alleghenies was lasts who have for thearad the equel of the best efforts of the' Eastern Teams. With Michigan colors draggeed In the dust at Franklin Field, the In dians trouncing Minnesota in no un certain style, there would seem to be little ground left for. argument on the respective merits of Was tern and Western football. But to the credit of Michigan it should be said that the Quaker eleven which today struck the Maize and Blue colors was a far different aggregation than that which was trampled under foot by- Carlisle a few weeks ago and defeated by 24 to 6.

It was the snappiest and best team that has worn the Red and Blue in many a day a rejuvenated eleven. While Michigan was undoubtedly crippled by the absence of Captain Curtis, it is a question if any one man could have stood between the Quakers and victory. EASY FOR CARLISLE. Minneapolis, Nov. 17.

The Carlisle Indians humbled the pride to day of Minnesota western football team, by a score of 17 to0. The In dians won because they had a star drop kicker. Mount Pleasant was the deciding factor. lie dropped goals almost every time he passed the mid-field line and Minnesota never had a chance to even up. It was a slugging contest and roughness marred it several times.

Final ly the umpire took a hand and put the offenders out. The margin of weight was not as great as between Minnesota and Chi cago and what there was, appeared mostly on paper. Many Indiana Coal dealers includ ing those of Richmond fear there may be something aRIn to a fuel famine Those who handle West Virginia coal say the wholesalers at Cincinnati are unable to fill orders because of inability to get coal down the Ohio river, the water being so low that on ly a few light barges can make the Ip. They explain that they are try ing to provide their supply of coal for the retail market, but are unaole to handle over 3 per cent of the orders now on hand. They further report that unless there is an immediate change in the condi tions for moving the coal down the river, and that unless the railroads in crease their cars and motive power that the worst famine in years, espec iall in bituminous coal will be at hand within two or three weeks.

Some Indiana dealers are now try ing to draw on the Indiana coal fields but have little encouragement because no assurance is given of rapid move ment of cars. There also is little re lief in the Pennsylvania and Illinois coal fields, because of a shortage in cars. WILLIE WEST'S SAY-SO HARVARD VICTOR. Cambridge, Nov. 17.

Harvard evened up old scores with Dartmouth this afternoon by administering the first sound trouncing the Crim son has been able to rgive the Green and White for four years. In a game full of sensational aud unexpected plays her eleven licked the New Ham phire boys 22 to 9. PURDUE MADE A SCORE. Madison. 17.

The badges vastly outweighed the Hoosiers and had an easy victory They looked for a hard game but did not get it. CHICAGO SWAMPED ILLINOIS. Chicago, Nov.

17. The University pi cnicago defeated the Illinois on the football field here this afternoon hy the disgraceful score of 63 to 0. Steffon, Eckersell. Walker and Parry ran rings around the stated univer sity team at win iorward passes, criss-cross plays and a remarkable series of trick plays bared by Coach Stagg of Chicago for the first time. The Illinois were utterly unable to gain.

Once the state university team actually had the ball within six inches of Chicago goal but could't score. The scoring began with the sensational sixty yard run by Steffen three minutes after the game opened. After that it was a romp for Chicago. The Maroons scored ten touchdowns, kicked nine goals and registered one field goal one drop kick by Ecker-pall. "It was not a football but a slaughter.

The first half added 23 for Chicago to 0 for Illinois. Then Coach Stagg saw there was "nothing doing" and sent in a crowd of his "substitutes" for practice. YALE, 0: PRINCETON. 0. University Field, Princeton, Nov.

17. Princeton and Yale played a tie this afternoon in their annual gridiron contest, neither side being able to score Jn the sixty minutes of hard play Princeton, touted to win. failed to show her expected superiority to the Yale warriors and Yale played a surprisingly strong game after the poor showing she has made earlier in the season. Yale showed her traditional burst of reserve power in the second half and In the last few moments was clearly outplaying the Tigers. The whistle tovnded, however, too soon to snowJ.iIaixu Talk thai the anderbilt auto race, now an animal fixture in the east, -will be abandoned has given rise to widespread comment.

The great danger attending the contest is the reason giv en for the feeling that the event should be crossed from the programme. Now, this lingo is all bosh. The race won't be given up, for the people who promoted it in the first place were look ing for advertisement. The fact that they got more publicity than they were looking for, however, doesn't disturb them In the least, and they started the "abandonment" talk merely to quiet the credulous public, which will bite on any kind of a hooic, wnether it is baited or not. "The people forget," once said a noted politician, noted chiefly because of a suddenly acquired fortune.

He became wealthy in spite of the fact that he was a New xork state senator, les, the people forget. Next year, when the Vanderbilt race Is run again, they will not remember the long list of ac cidents that attended the race in the past. As of old, the spectators will crowd at the turns and be carried off in pieces on shutters and barn doors. Next year the auto drivers climb telegraph poles in the same merry fashion. The glory "of competing in the great annual blue ribbon slaughter will more than pay.

for their, busted craniums and punctured spinal cords. Auto racing is all right on a track, but it has no place on a country road, poor ly patrolled and not fully fenced. No, the promoters won't stop the race. Maybe the local New lork state authorities will attempt to do so. However, the promoters are millionaire manufacturers, and, as they must have advertising, probably the authorities can be "persuaded" to let the band play on.

Wuxtry! Wuxtry! Joe Cans has given up, voluntarily, his claim to the welterweight title. He Is the first 'pug" in history to give away any thing unless we except Kid McCoy and the "wise" tips he used to hand out when he needed the money. LEFT POOR FARM AND WAS WEDDED Playing in rain and on a field too heavy for good football, Earlham yesterday defeated Miami University by a score of 11 to 0. It was the closing came of the season for Earlham and gives the Quakers the record of five games won and one lost. he one j- feat was at the hands of Wabash College, now recognized to be in a class above Earlham on the gridiron.

Earlham scored both her touch downs yesterday afternoon in the first half. Both times she profited by fumbles on the part of the Miami team. The first touchdown was made soon after the game opened. Earlham kicked off to Miami, which failing to gain ground, resorted to a punt. This Earlham blocked, and by the use of a double pass and finally by a straight- line buck, Elliott was sent through for a touchdown.

The next touchdown came near the end of the first half, when Capt. Wann secured the ball from Miami on a fumble and run ning for thirty yards with splendid Interference, made a second counter. Wann had kicked the first goal, but he failed on the second try. Resorted to Punting. In the last half both teams resorted She RetUmS With YOUflQ Babe ed.

Twice in the last half Earlham had the ball within ten yards of the goal. Here Miami made a splendid stand and Earlham both times resort ing to place kicks, failed to increase the score. Earlham, until the ball became too wet, worked double and triple passes to advantage, while Miami failed to make such plays go, often losing the ball by trying them. Miami was near enough to Earlham's goal to try a place or drop kick but once. She -tried a place kick and failed.

Notwithstanding Earlham was lighter than Miami, the Ohio team could not break through the Quakers' line, and was frequently thrown back for big losses. The only injury was to Grover Grimes, who was taken out of the game in the last half, because of a badly injured knee. The absence of Carey and King did not seemingly effect the playing of Earlham, though with these men in their positions, Earlham' score likely would have been much greater. and Again Seeks Admission as an Inmate.

THE FIENDISH ACT OF CRAZED MAN As it ia harder to kill a man under the new football" rules, the game Is more uncertain and greatly more exciting. One of the oddest examples of untimely hitting, on record in baseball was a Chicago-Louisville game played at Louisville in 1S99. Chicago won the game, to i. now Jboulsvllle ever managed to keep away from the plate is a mystery. During the game the bases were filled with Colonels exactly twelve times.

In every inning except one the bases were full one or more times. Yet on twelve hits, six bases on balls, one hit by pitched ball, and three errors, they made but one run. Four times they had the bases full with but one man out. Three times they were fnll with none out. Yet each time a man was either cut off at the plate or doubled up, except in the fifth, when, with the bases full, a little fumble by Lange let Dexter score.

Any one of twenty-four hitters could have won the game with one timely hit, but none was delivered. It may be better to give than to receive, but it depends whether you are throwing bricks or bouquets. Here is ah example of the pure and holy amateur spirit as she actuates the being of the high school athlete: "Harvey Blair, the crack sprinter, who graduated last year from the Hammond (111.) high school, is still undecided, where he will go to college. Offers have been made to him by University of Michigan, Amherst, University of Chicago, Wabash and Purdue." "Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien's ambition seems to be to outgentleman Jim Corbett At the present call Jack is two marriages, one divorce and a fancy vest behind the game. All things come to those who wait, and that's about the only consolati some people seem to have.

WILLI, Watsons, leading Pialro Dealers, 707 i Publishers' Press! new Albany, N6V. 17. Labor ing under a religious tixcitement, San-ford Engleman, a young man living near Bryanville, fourteen miles northwest of here, deliberately severed his right hand on an improvised buillotine and when asked why he had committed the act, quoted the Bibical injunction, "If thy right hand offend thee cut it off and cast it from you." Young Engleman went about the am putation inthe most deliberate man ner, uoing to a seciuaea spot in me woods, a mile from his home, the day before the deed, he constructed a guillotine by crossing two saplings over a stump.

Lashing them together with his suspenders he placed a heavy block across them to reach the stump and placed a sharp ex blade down between the saplings at the qoint where they were fastened togeth er. Two uprights were then placed in a position to guide the ax in its decent, and the block of wood Was arranged so that by pulling the cord the weight of the block could be drawn down on the ax, a using it to descend with great force. After performing the amputation the young man applied a compress and walked half a mile to the home of a neighbor, wrhere a bandage was applied, after which he walked a mile to his home. Dr. J.

H. Duffin, of Georgetown, who dressed the wound, expressed the belief that the young man will survive the effects of the amputation. The young man for several weeks had, at times, acter in a strange manner, but until he committed he committed the act his friends had not suspected that his mind was unbalanced. He says that he had been contemplat ing the act for a year, which Is evidenced by the ingenuity he displayed. Hartford City, Nov.

17. (Spl.) -Because of the desertion of her hus band, Mrs. George Slough is compel! ed to return to the county infirmary from which she eloped to marry. About a year ago the woman was confined in the feeble-minded ward at the countSr infirmary near Bluff ton, and while- there she met George Slough. It was a case of love at first sight and together they planned to elope.

While the superintendent slept they packed their few possessions and left the farm, coming to this city, where they were married and where they began housekeeping. Things went well for the first year. Slough provided well for his wife and apparently they seemed happy together. A child was born and it was then that Slough got "cold feet." He had been able to care for his wife, but seemingly did not even possess the desire to make provisions for the newcomer and he again disappeared. He came back again, but the thoughts of a crying baby again drove him to despair and again he left home.

As yet he has not made his appearance and the wife and baby being left destitute have gone back to the poor farm in this county, from which the mother ran away to become a bride. Slough is said to have assumed the name of George Payne and 4s working for the Standard Oil Company on the big pipe line that is being constructed from Montpelier to Casey, 111.

Within five squares he passed them and drove across the street a few feet in front. This stopped the runaway and caused the horse to shy toward Wilson, who caught the bridle. The little girl was not badly frightened and only said: "My, how my hands hurt!" She had braced her feet in the buggy and held on to the lines with all her might.

The sleeper dreams, let us say, that he is suffering some complaint of the leg, and two or three days later, the disease having developed, he finds that he really has got a bad attack of rheumatism.
