References to the Figures IV ill Show That While the Visitors Are a Fraction Ahead of All Their Opponents In All Games Played They Are Between Five and Six Runs Per Wicket Behind In the Philadelphia Series. AS NO complete summary of the games played in this country by Mr.

Frank Mitchell's team of Cambridge and Oxford cricketers has yet been presented to the public, as an report or other-wise, the following re- Wf Ttew edited by one of. Philadelphia team, should prove of general Interest, and, having been compiled with great care, may be used as a record. The English collegians won two of the five games played on the tour, lost two and drew one. The drawn match was played with the Canadians, and would have resulted tn an easy victory for the visitors had It been played to a conclusion. It was In Philadelphia the Englishmen met with their two defeats, nnd every fair-minded critic who witnessed the three games played in this city will admit that our team not only won on Its merits, but In spite of the fact that the visitors had a trifle the best of the luck; for on two of the three occasions Captain Mitchell won the toss, and his side batted first on true, mini wickets, while nearly all the doubtful decisions were against the Philadelphia us.

By reference to the appended statistics It will be seen that wane the Englishmen are a fraction ahead of their opponents In all games, they are between five and six runs per wicket behind in the Philadelphia series, and, throwing out the Canadian game, they are compelled to play second fiddle to their American opponents New York and Philadelphia combined. In fact, taking Mr. Mitchell's eleven as a whole, It was not particularly formidable, and as Its members have been able to score quite freely In many of the English county games against the best professional bowling to be met. there is every reason to expect that should the Gentlemen of Philadelphia take an English trip in 180G. as now seems extremely probable, they will have a good fighting chance against the majority of the county elevens even should they decide to play all comers and not bar professional bowling.

In conclusion, special mention must be made of the fine work accomplished by George S. Patterson In the Philadelphia series. For some years Mr. Pntterson has stood In a class by himself as a batsman among American players, and after his consistent and brilliant display of batting against Mr. Mitchell's eleven the opinion Is very generally shared in Philadelphia that he has not many superiors on the other side.

At any rate his friends here will be delighted that he is to have a chance of showing what he can do on English wickets and against the best English bowling while he Is still at his best.

Jm mam FOOT-BAIiIi 0J1 PflY FIELDS The Lafayette-Pennsylvania Game Was a Disappointment. 'VARSITY MEN PLAYED POORLY While the Visitors Could Not Keep the Ball In Our Territory Oar Play Was at Times Very Ragged Frequent Gains Were Made Through renns Centre, and the Tackling Was Ineffective and the Interference Poor.

Yale Failed to Score Against the Boston A. A. and Princeton Is Unable to Cross Orange's Goal Line Harvard Easily Defeats Cornell. Foot-ball enthusiasts of the most rabid type literally overran Franklin Field yesterday to see the gnme between Lafayette and Pennsylvania. They came literally in throngs and early tilled every seat in the massive grandstand and encircled the field of play.

Nine thousand whs the nt tendance officially announced, but It is likely that the crowd really fell short of that number by a few hundred However, It was the greatest crowd that has ever attended a gnme in this city outside of the few big contests played annually. As a matter of fact, though, yesterday's match was one of the big contests of the year. Cornell stood fifth in the ranks of colleges in foot-ball and on the Satunlny previous they had been compelled to succumb to Lafayette's superior prowess. The Kastou boys thus stepped to the front rank of college foot-bail direct mid expected to fight for their laurels yesterday and let their opponents know they had a team against them. The crowd was out in expectation of a most fierce contest, but it was disappointed in the slightest degree by the fact that the game did not turn out to be such.

Lafayette did not give Pennsylvania any difficulty in keeping them from scoring. Neither did they present an impregnable defense aeainst the 'Varsity. In the hitler respect they played much the better game and really did creditably. The 'Varsity, however, played very raggedly at times. The crowd during the progress of the play was unmindful of this.

They were full of enthusiasm, to which they freely gave vent, in reality expressing by this means the relief they felt, for this contest was awaited by more than one with anxiety. Rut leaving the grounds, there was no jubilant expression of satisfaction anywhere. In fact, the faces of many of those closest in touch with Uni versity athletics were very thoughtful. The men failed to put any vim into their work whatsoever. Their Interference was loosely formed and their attack half-hearted, while their defense was far from satisfactory.

In fact, frequently Lafayette gained ground by straight plunges into Pennsylvania's centre, the supposedly strongest point, but the fact must not be discounted that the Lafayette guards, Fllson and Rhluehart. are very capable men and Barclay and Sigman two splended line buckers. Nevertheless, these gulns should have been stopped. Then again, the tackling showed a tendency to become light. Barclay cleverly voided repeated tackles on several occasions through this reason and made several runs on the ends which should have meant losses.

Worth and P.lair are mainly responsible for this, for several times they would have prevented gains had they been In position. The regular men, would likely have prevented them. With all this Lafayette never had the ball in Pennsylvania's territory at any time during the game, while most of their advances were made in the second half, when darkness had settled so densely that It was Impossible to follow the ball. (ielbert and Blair both carried the ball well from half-hack, (ielhert was injured shortly after the start of piny and compelled to retire. He was not so seriously hurt, however, as was feared.

Worth, who replaced him. could do little, though he deserves credit for the way he took advantage of several mistakes made by his opponents. Minds and Williams ran well in the open field, but neither had any opportunity in scrimmage. Off, In fact, did the most of the advancing of the ball, and the team supported him better than any other player. For Lafayette Barclay and Wn I bridge ran well with the ball and Sigman bucked the centre well.

Bhlnehart was the stay of the entire team, and did remarkable work in tackling, interfering, opening up and blocking. Pennsylvania made twenty points In the first half. A touch-down was Immediately gained upon the start of play upon Minds' return of the kick-off, Barclay's fumble, Off securing the ball, nnd a pretty run of twenty yards by Blair. The ball was soon again in dnngerous proximity of the goal, but was gained by Lafayette on downs on the five yard line. Slgman's kick was blocked nnd Dobbs secured the ball behind tho posts.

A safety was awarded, though the propriety of the decision was questionable. A succession of short end dashes sent Dickson over the line for the third touch-down, while the fourth resulted similarly. Wharton kicked all the goals, the third as time was called. In the second half the play was much less spirited, for the first time this year the 'Varsity appearing worn. A fumble of Barclay's, after the ball had slowly advanced to the centre of the field, gave Boyle chance for a pretty run, and he carried the ball to the ten-yard line, from where It was shortly carried over.

The last touch-flown was secured by Worth, who gained the ball on Lafayette's thirty-yard line from Stra-der's fumble and had a clear field to the goal. A safety was scored by Pennsylvania In this half and disallowed. Sigman caught a bounding punt on the three-yard line and was thrown over the goal line by Boyle, lie claimed to have called down and as the referee was not within hearing distance he allowed the claim.

Cambridge, October 20. Ideal foot-ball weather and the announcement of the first championship game of the season drew 5.000 people out to Soldiers' Field this afternoon to see the Harvard-Cia-nell match. The result gave the first game to be played since the signing of the Harvard-Cornell agreement to the home team by a score of 25 to 0. The game was at once encouraging and aggravating to the supporters of the Crimson. All through the first half Umpire Dashiel did almost all the moving of the ball.

He was very severe in enforcing the penalties against off-side playing and holding, and though the second half showed most beneficial results of his discipline, it was not particularly Interesting to the spectators. Cornell put up a fine game at first, but her men clearly did not have the staying powers of the Harvard men. Indeed, it Is doubtful if any Harvard eleven ever came out of a hard struggle fresher than the men were to-day. Every one 's enthusiastic to-night over Trainer Latlirop's success In getting the players Into such good trim. Harvard made her best gains on tandem and mass plays at the Cornell tackles and guards.

Both teams were strong on the ends and few gains were made in that direction. Bcnchnin, Hall. Rogers and Freeborn did splendid work for Cornell, though the latter had more than his hands full in taking care of Holt. Cabot unquestionably bore off first honors for Harvard to-day. He tackled like a demon, smashed through Interference, was always first down on a kick and In the second half was sent with the ball as often as any of the backs.

Little Newell surprised every one by his sharp and aggressive playing iii Captain Brewer place. Donald did well at right tackle, and Stevenson after he was persuaded to stay on side and stop fooling with his man did better than had been expected of him. The Harvard centre men all played well, though Holt was much the hest of the three. Jaffray did not get Into the piiiys as often as he might. The backs showed up splendidly after they gave up trying their around-the-end Interference and be gan to work at the tackles.

Cornell won the toss and chose the wind. After an exchange of punts Cabot made thirty yards on a double pass, but Immediately after Harvard lost the ball on holding and then began the farce In which Umpire Dashiel spent all his time giving either territory or the ball to one side or the other for off side play and holding. The other features of the first half were Cornell's strong defense. Brewer's kicking against the wind and the slowness with which Harvard's end plays got to moving. Hall was injured and had to give way to Fitch.

The half closed with the ball in the centre of the field and the Ithaca men Jubilant at the way they had held the crimson down. The Harvard players got a good lecture during the Intermission. The result was that the off side play and holding ceased. After the kick-off and two or three exchanges of punts Harvard shoved steadily through the guards and tackles and six minutes after time was called sent Fair-child across the line for a touch-down, (ionterman got the next one after a five-yard run and a fake kick, the hole being opened up for him by Stevenson and Holt. Harvard got her next two touch-downs in in if di Hie same manner as the first, the three backs and Cabot being sent constantly against the centre.

Cabot made the third and Brewer the last one. Two minutes before time was called Fairchlld made a fair catch on Cornell's 35-ynrd line and Brewer scored a goal from the field from a place kick. This left the final score 25 to 0. The line-up of the teams was: Harvard. Cornell.

Orange, October 20. Neither Princeton nor the Orauge Athletic Club was able to score in the game here to-day. Princeton did not have out her best team, but the players struggled hard against the strong Orange team. Notwithstanding a fumble or two, young Poe did great work at quarter, and his gain of twenty-five yards In the second half on a clever little double pass was the feature of the game. Rhodes ami Hearne did some great tackling, and Herr, too, got In some fine work.

Orange was not able to make the gains against Princeton that she did in the contest with Yale last week. The backs were not able to get by Hearne at the Princeton right end with as much facility as past Hlnkey at the same position for Yale. The ball was seldom out of Orange territory during the game. The last moment was the critical one. The ball belonged to Princeton and was passed to Suter for a run around the Orange right end.

Excitement was at a high pitch and a few yards would have made a touch-down and won the day. The runner was forced right up to the Orange line. The whistle sounded and the crowd cried "Princeton scores." Mr. Corbln would not agree, and time was called with a cipher for both teams. The line-up was as folliows; Orange.
