POOR HEAD WORK BY KENNEDY. "With Ball on Her Two Yard Line, Penn pylvsrln ttrice Held the "Western Players Bom Chicago, October 28 The foot ball eleven of the University of Pennsylvania barely escaped defeat at the hands of the University of Chicago eleven to d5y in a game that for desperate playing has seldom been equaled in the West. The final score was a tie, both sides scoring a touchdown in the second half and neither kicking a goal, leaving the total score 5 to o. Better foot ball, so far as clean, snappy playing is concerned, has been seen in two or three games here this season but for sheer sameness, for rallies when to yield the least bit would result in a touchdown, and for situations tending to produce heart disease, the game was certainly remarkable. Five times Chicago's eleven had opportunities to score, twice by place kicks with the ball in a favorable position, and three times by getting the pigskin inside of the Pennsylvania's five yard line.

Brit only once were the Maroons able to get the ball over the goal line and that when defeat for them seem ed almost a certainty. By poor generalship on the part of Captain Kennedy of Chicago, in attempting to send Slaker through Pennsylvania's left guard. Hare lost the ball for Chicago on downs when it was not within two yards of the goal line in the second bait and when finally, a few moments later. Wellington was pushed over for the tying touchdown, the Chicago captain missed an easy goal. It was his attempt at a fake kick, too that ultimately resulted in Pennsylvania's score, Kennedy dropping the ball when tackled and Pennsylvania securing it on Chicago's 48 yard line.

With Chicago's goal line in sight Pennsylvania's big guards tore the Maroon line to pieces and Davidson was finally pushed over. But Chicago's eoal line was not again in danger. Early In the first half Chicago discovered that Pennsylvania's left end was weak and aZndfustaraiaTnlufwUn I ball within a yard of her eoal Pennvl vania made the most desperate stand of the game. rnree times the line held, and when the mass of players untangled after the last down the ball was still a toot from the line. Coombs an instant later punted out of danger and when time was called the ball was on Chicago's 45 yard line.

Chicago's Superior All Around Playing. Chicago's all around playing was superior to that of the Quakers'. The latter were utterly unable to get around the Maroon ends, and in the first half were frequently held for downs even when uslns the dreaded guards back play, which has brought victory to the Red and Blue in many games. In the second half, however, the awful hammering told severely on the Chicago forwards, and during the series of gains which resulted In Pennsylvania's touchdown the locals were off their feet. The same play was also used to good effect toward the close of the game and shortly before time was called the big Pennsylvania guards were dragging their backs through for five to ten yard gains.

But most of the time during the second half the ball was well within Pennsylvania's territory, and only the fiercest kind of playing by. the well nigh exhausted QuakerB saved them from' defeat. Notwithstanding the fact that rain had been falling steadily since Thursday morning, the gridiron at Marshall Field was in fair condition. Careful draining and frequent applications of sawdust prevented the field from getting soft and when the players lined up for the kick off the field was in much better shape than had been hoped for. A crowd of fully 6,000 enthusiasts witnessed the struggle, including several hundred rooters for the red and blue of Pennsylvania and the latter team did not lack encouragement so far as cheering was concerned.

Kennedy kicked to Pennsylvania's 15 yard line, Hamill preventing a return by a fine tackle.

On a guard's back play McCracken made two yards Kennedy failed to gain and Chicago secured the ball on downs on Pennsylvania's 30 yard line. Wellington went through left tackle for five yards. Then Pennsylvania braced up and the pigskin went over on downs. Coombs promptly kicked to Chicago's 30 yard line, Hamill misjudging the punt. Kennedy for Chicago tried a fake kick but he was downed for a loss.

Kennedy kicked out of bounds at the 40 yard line. Guards' back plays by Pennsylvania were of no effect, and Chicago secured the ball on downs on her 35 yard line. Slaker made 5 yards through left tackle, and Hamill 10 yards around left end. A line buck by Slaker gained a yard and Kennedy kicked to Pennsylvania's 25 yard line. A double pass, Kennedy to Davidson, failed to work, and Coombs kicked to Chicago's 35 yard line.

Slaker Does Some Good Line Bucking. Little Slaker was then sent Into the Pennsylvania line four times In succession for a net gain of 7 yards. Wellington made 5 yards on two tries, and Webb 3 yards. Wellington then skirted Potter's end for 15 yards, and an instant later made 3 yardis more. Slaker tore through Toas for 3 yards and repeated for 3 yards.

The ball was getting close to Pennsylvania's goal line. Slaker made 3 yards through left tackle, and Ahlswede 2 yards at the same point. Wellington again got around Potter's end for 12 yards. An instant later Pennsylvania was penalized for off side play. This brought the ball within 2Vi yards of the goal, but Pennsylvania braced and secured the ball on downs when it was within a foot of the goal.

Coombs punted poorly, the ball going out ot bounds on Pennsylvania's 17 yard line, but Pennsylvania secured the ball for holding and Coombs punted to Chicago's 40 yard line. Hamill made 5 yards on two downs and time was called with the ball on Chicago's 45 yard line. The half ended without a score. The Desperate Second Half. In the second half Hare kicked oft to Chicago's 25 yard line.

Kennedy tried fake kick, but it failed and a moment later Pennsylvania secured the ball on downs on Chicago's 35 yard line. The guards' back play failed to work and the ball again changed hands. Hamill made 12 yards around the right end. Wellington took 2 yards through left tackle and Ahlswede 7 yards on a lino buck. Wellington bucked the line twice for 3 yards each time.

Potter went out for Pennsylvania and Stehl took his place. Hamill made 5 yards throuph the line and Wellington tore around left end for 10 yards on a delayed pass. This brought the ball to Pennsylvania's 30 yard lino, and Kennedy tried a place kick, but missed badly. The ball was brought out to the 25 yard line and Coombs punted to Chicago's 45 yard line. Hamill running it back 15 yards.

Hamill bucked the line for yards and Wellington made 4 yards through left trickle and end. Hamill made 4 yards at the same point. Then Pennsylvania braced and secured the ball on downs.

London, October 2S It has been cabled to England that the Hon Charles Russell, while In New York, declared that Lord Dunraven refused the use of the Valkyrie as a "trial horse," though Sir Thomas Llpton offered to purchase the yacht.

Lord Dunraven to day prims a cable dispatch from Mr. Russell denying that he or any of the Lipion party ever mentioned Lord Dunraven's name in any connection. Yachtsmen generally, who have met both Mr. Russell and Sir Thomas, believe that the former's cablegram Is strictly true. Nevertheless It has been intimated to an Eagle reporter, upon several occasions and by a number of the Lipion party, that the story was true, although the name of Lord Dunraven was not specifically ment.loncil.

Whether Mr. Russell did mention bis Lord snip name to any one or matters nub the story seems to he well enough vouched for, without his specially mentioning name. A yachtsman in referring to the matter last night said: "Lord Dunraven. when he published Mr. Russell's cablegram, did not seeem to catch the irony of the latter part when he said that neither he nor any of the Lipion party ever mentioned Lord Dunraven's name in any connection."

Ithaca, N. October 28 In one of the finest foot ball battles that Cornell has ever waged against an opposing eleven she wrested victory from Princeton to day on Percy Field by a score of 5 to 0. Throughout the two twenty minuto halves, which were repeatedly interrupted by various players succumbing to the strain of the fierce work, the teams struggled with the odds slightly in favor of Cornell. Princeton was outplayed both in. defensive and offensive work, and as the game progressed Cornell seemed to let out a great reserve force which was productive of telling work.

In punting, which was resorted to freely by both elevens, Captain Starbuck held out well, and toward" the latter part of the contest he was outpunting Wheeler. In catching punts or kicking Walbridge and Young excelled and but seldom lost even a yard on a fumble. Princeton, on the contrary, was weak in this respect.

Captain StarbtfcHr'sald that his team had outplayed Prlncettonj j1 Coach Haugh The Tigers Will Devote the Bemaining Days toHard Practice for the Coming Struggle.

Princeton, N. October 28 Princeton meete Yale November 25. Kvery game from now on will be played with a view of getting the men in the beat possible form for the final struggle. At present there is not a man on the team who. is faultless, and many of the men exhibit some noticeably weak points and failings.

On account of the great humidity in the weather this week the team lost most of its snap and life and went into practice in a listless, indifferent manner, which came to a climax on Wednesday and culminated in its defeat to day by Cornell. Hitherto the team's principal fault has been in offensive play. The players have not hit the opposing line with sufficient force to make big gains possible. Lack of head work and team play have also been conspicuous. The back of the line men marred their apparently good work with frequent fumbles and failure to follow their interference.

These defects are gradually being remedied and a fortnight hence the team ought to be improved. Of the individual players, each man has his own particular faults to overcome. Palmer fails to box the tackles and gets in the opponents' interference on defense. Pell's weakness is in defensive play. He does not use his hands enough when the play comes at him.

Hills is weak in both defense and offense and is not up to last year's work on goal kicking. Booth snaps the ball accurately and puts up a strong game but plays too high when the opponents charge the center. Edwards is strong on the defensive but in his eagerness to get into play lacks head work. Hlllebrand has not yet taken on last year's form. He is noticeably weak on the defense, but makes good openings and otherwise plays with judgment and aggressiveness.

Poe's work is not up to last year's; he gets Into mass plays slowly but does excellent work in following the ball on punts. Hutchinson and Duncan do not handle the ball as well as they did last year and both are somewhat slow in seeing the weak places in the opponents' line and of giving the proper signals. Relter plays a hard game but does not follow his interference well and is weak at interfering. Kafer starts too slowly and frequently falls to go through the proper opening. Wheeler hits the line with too little force.

His kicks are long and high but often are poorly placed. The new men have a number of fallings to overcome but a few of them are rapidly taking on 'Varsity form. Levick, McCord, Dana, Roper, Lloys," Mattis and Losey are doing strong work for positions on the team. AMHERST TEAM OUTPLAYED. Downed hy the Boston College Eleven to the Tune of 18 to 6.

October 28 The foot ball eleven of the Morris High School continued their march toward the championship goal of the Metropolitan Public High School Athletic League to day by defeating the Jersey City High School eleven at this place in a much better played game than the score attests.

In the second naif the Jersey City eleven were again blanked and the local team added three touchdowns to their score but failed to secure the goals leaving the final tally: Morris High School, 27 points; Jersey City High School, 0.
