I Yesterday witnessed the general opening of the college foot-ball season. Harvard and Princeton played their initial games aud both did disappointing work. The Tigers fumbled badly in their game with Lehigh and lost ninny points by their poor work. Harvard was unable to cross Williams' goal line at all in the second half. Yale also played poorly, scoring but Ave points tigfiinst the Wesleyan eleven.

Cornell displayed much spirit and dash in their game against Trinity and far exceeded the total that Yale made against the Hartford collegians last Wednesday. Pennsylvania played the third game of ithe season on the local grounds and eliminating some rank fumbling played an excellent game. The bright feature of the Quakers' work was the manner I which each player assisted the other. I'p to date Penn has played the best preliminary foot-ball of any of the colleges, with the possible exception of Cornell.

October 1. Thirty-five points for the first period of play and twelve points for the second period was the score that Cornell made against Trinity to-day lu a game that was remarkable for the number of men exhausted and hurt. The weather was oppressively warm and the tennis were covered with dnst in every scrimmage. Cornell started off with a rush intent on equaling or exceeding the score of 18 to 0 that Yale made against Trinity last Saturday, and so quick and gingery was the play that the first score was made In less than five minutes' play. Touch-down after touch-down followed in quick order after the first score, Trinity being unable to stop Cornell's fast playing.

Several formations, which were entirely new and gained ground very fast, particularly a triple pass, completely bewildered the Trinity men. Sweetland exhibited his old-time form today. In one Instance getting the ball on a fumble at the centre of the field and running 55 yards for a touch-down pursued by the entire Trinity team. Whiting carried the ball in most of the Cornell plays and consequently of the eight touch-downs he scored five. As the summary Indicates Y'onng Is fast becoming the equal of his brother at goal-kicking, missing only one of the eight trials that he made.

Young is also running very well with the ball, which he receives on punts instead of the full-back. Whiting was taken out during the latter part of the second half in order to give Morrison a chance to play. The second half was long drawn out and uninteresting, some being hurt In almost every play and fumbles being quite frequent. The line-up was as follows: Cornell. Trinity.

LAFAYETTE BEAT VILLAIT0VA The Visitors' Defense Was Strong, But They Were Totally Outclassed. Special Telegram to THE Times. Easton, October 1. Lafayette opened the season to-day by playing her first game with Villanova, defeating them by the score of 10 to 0. Lafayette outclassed her opponents in all points, although Villanova made a stubborn defense, but in several Instances could Villanova make any material gains, thereby gaining the necessary first down.

It was not an ideal day for the playing of the game and the eun was extremely hot, making the players suffer from their violent exertions. Besides the field was very rough and the poor fellows that fell on It were generally hurt. Notwithstanding these disadvantages Lafayette played a very creditable game, the work Individually and as a team showing marked Improvement over any work previously made against the second eleven. Had it not been for the Inexcusable and virulent fumbling the score would Npeuk louder. The best work of the day was done by Chalmers, Carter, Bray and Weaver.

These men are the mainstay, together with Captain Best, whose work at quarter back was hindered somewhat, by Hosenberger at centre. Bacon and Pierce at ends played well, especially the latter, whose tackling was of the kind seldom nth on this field by an end since "Tom" Sp'eer took oft his togs. Bnch-mnn and Hellinau at guards allowed up well, driving holes In their opponents large enough for a dray. Lafayette scored her first touchdown after five minutes of play, which was all she scored In the first half. This touchdown was made by simple straight play.

Bray carrying It over the white line. Lafayette was not Instructed to run up a large score, all plays being tried Irrespective of their value as ground gainers, hence the score is not the entire Index of the game, ns Villanova was never dangerously near the Lafayette goal. The l)et work for Villanova was done by Captain Bugley, whose tackling and running was very tine. Nolan, at centre, nnd Munley, at end, played weil. The teams lined up as follows: Lafayette.

In an Interesting game on their new athletic field the Carlisle Indians defeated Susquehanna I'nlverslty this afternoon by the score of 4S to O.The Indians played two subs Red Water at centre nnd Scott at left guard, and both Bhowed up well. The features of the game were the long runs of Cayou and Metoxen, who frequently made forty nnd fifty yards.

Time of halves and 20 minutes. HARVARD'S POOR SHOWING The Crimsons Only Able to Score 11 Points Against 'Williams. Special Telegram to The Times. Cambridge, October 1. Harvard's showing In its opening game of the season was not exactly of the sort that pleases.

The work was ragged from the start, and although some of the men on the Crimson team played fast ball, the general Impression of the contest was poor. F.leven points In the first half of fifteen minutes and none In the second is the game's end, nnd that is far from encouraging. To Paly and Cochrane belong the honors of the day. It was Daly's punting that carried the ball down the Held, and it was Cochrane's speed that enable him to pick it up and get across the line. Ialy was clear headed and fast in all that he did, while Cochrane got Into everything, and was down the field on punts.

After Cochrane's score on a fumble and a goal Daly caught Will-lams' kick off and returned it with a kick of 45 yards. Then Burnett yanked his man off side, which gave Harvard the ball on Will-lams' 4(l-yard line. From there Pibblee made a run of 25 yards, which was the star play of the day. and Warren and Kendall in three rushes put the ball over for the second and last touch-down. In the second half Harvard ptlt In a number of new men.

Brayton took Lawrence's place at tackle, and through his hole Will-lama made a number of good gains. Burnett, too, weakened In the second half, and it was through these men that Williams, aided by 10 yards for off-side play, managed to get the ball down to the Hue. But then Williams fumbled, and Daly put it out of danger by a high pnut by which he put the men on side. Harvard capturing it. Another punt gave the hull to Williams, nnd after that it remained near the centre of the field.

There was no scoring In the second half, and Williams. If anything, came wearer to the goal than Harvard. The line-up Harvard. Williams. Lewis Left end Chadwell Burnett Left tackle Bonl Left guard Enton A.

New Haven, October 1. After thirty minutes of hard play on a broiling hot gridiron Yale was able to score but live points against Wesleyan this afternoon. It was the opening game on the home grounds- and a large crowd was present to cheer the players. The play was very loose. Yale fumbled, was offside and Interfered so much that it was Impossible to do any scoring.

Wesleyan never got the ball on downs once. Of the new candidates Coy. right end, and Cooke, left tackle, played In tstrong form. Yale substituted almost an entire new team In the second half and the exhibition would have made school boys blush. De Saulles, Brown, Dudley nnd t'ouke were the only ones who remembered the game.

Wesleyan did not make a change anil considering the oppressive heat and fresh opponents the Mld-dletown boys deserve great credit. After Ingliss, kicked off It was thirteen minutes before Marvin was able to score. Twice the ball was within tile ten yard line, but Marvin or McGee fumbled. Finally a long punt by McBrlde landed the plg.dvln on the three vard line. Coy was there to fall on Rvmer.

Yale secured the hall on the punt out at the thirty yard line and then rushed Marvin over for the touch-down. Brown failed of a difficult goal. In the second half Brngton and Yale had fun with Yale's right wing. The gucrds' back formation also gained against the Blue. Eddv.

The Men Have Not Yet Gotten Into Coudltlon-Some of the Best Players. Written expressly for The Times by Ei-Captaln E. N. Wrlghtlngton. Boston, October 1.

The Harvard foot-ball team as a whole has had two weeks' training. But as the college courses did not begin until last Thursday, and some of the old men were still away, all the available material will not come out until next Monday. Those who have been In Cambridge for these first two weeks huve had practice twice a day, and are now slowly getting Into preliminary form. The work has been the same as last year, the early days having been spent In limbering up, quick starting, falling on the ball and kicking for the backs. No Innovations will be undertaken this year.

The training will be conducted on almost the same lines as last year. Tue defense may be studied more carefully from the first, as the line will be made up almost entirely of new men. Jack McMnsters. formerly Princeton's trainer, has been engaged on trial temporarily to look after the physical condition of the men. He will be given absolute authority in this department so long as he Is retained, in order to give hltn a thoroughly fair test.

His Ideas are not radical, and the training will be conducted much the sume as it was last year. The early practice has developed the fact that the eleven will be strong in backs and tackles and weak In ends nnd centre men. At this writing the best trio among the backs is Dibblee, captain, left half: Held, fullback, and Warren, right half-back, with Daly, quarter-back, to direct them. Dibblee is splendid. His running and tackling are the best on the field, and if he is not Injured if sure ground-gainer will be behind the line.

Warren played well last year, but is handicapped with a lame shoulder. He is a hard runner, though somewhat slow In starting, but lacks judgment. He will turn out all right by the end of the season. Reld Is first choice now for full-back. He, too, Is a hard runner, but has the same fault of a slow start.

His kicking is quite good, distance being the chief characteristic. He Is slow In. getting the ball awuy and loses his head when the opponents charge on him. These two faults can easily be eliminated with practice, so that he no doubt will be very fair in a month nnd a half. Daly, at quarter, is good, but very light and fragile.

He played the position on bis freshman team last year, and acquitted himself well, but It Is a question whether he can stand the hard knocks of a 'varsity season. He handles himself well and has good Judgment, but Is not heavy enough to be of much use' In the Interference. The substitutes for these positions are above the average. The two Keudalls, freshman and sophomore, play at half-back and full-back respectively. The older Kendall will be quick on the start, hut at present Is rather green.

The younger has been playing well on the second eleven. Ellis and Sawin are also putting up a fair game back of the line. Ellis plunges at the line hard, hut uses no Judgment whatever, while Sawin, who was playing, well last year, Is not quite up to the mark now. But even these two men would be considered quite good under ordinary circumstances. The substitute quarter-buck Is FInche, who nlso substituted for Daly last year on the freshman team.

He, too. Is light, but is almost as good as Daly. So there is no lack of good material behind the line. At tackle, too, there Is at present a large list of good candidates. The prospect of turning out two good men from these Is bright, although Harvard has suffered so much In the past from Injuries to men playing these positions that it is not safe to count on anything.

Among ine oesi oi those at present in shape are Burnett, substitute guard last year, and Lawrence, tackle last year on the freshman team. Lawrence Is especially active and strong, but should use more headwork. Burnett Is a fast runner for heavy man and does effective tackling on the ends. Mills, who has been to Porto Rico, Is not very well, and has not yet put on his foot-ball togs. He was good last year, and If he can be worked Into shape all right should be better than ever.

Haughtou, too, last year's tackle and full-back. Is out of the game for a couple of weeks. Besides having a game leg. he is captain of the base ball team, so be cannot be counted ou until later. Donald, who always seems to get hurt every season, will handle the freshman team for a while, working himself slowly Into condition until It will be safe to use him.

Trainer, an. other substitute, has Improved much of late, and may give a good account of himself later Brayton also Is heavy and strong, nnd can lie relied on In case of Injury to some of the others. There Is a dearth of good guards. Boa! Is fine advancing the ball, hut Is wenk on the defense, while Sargent and Burden, substitutes last year, are neither of them above the average. C.

Sargent, a freshman, has been playing centre rush, lint Is too slow to be of much use. Lloyd Is quite good, but he also Is slow. There will huve to be a great deal of coaching spent on the centre trio to develop anything like the defense of last year. The ends, too, are weak. Richardson and Cochrane are the best men.

Cochrane was substitute quarter-back last year, but played end ou his freshman '111 team. Richardson was one of the substitute ends last year. Both of these men lire light and easily brushed aside In the heavy Interference swung at them. They are, however, quick, and, with the assistance of the rush Hue backs, who will be good men, ought to do fairly well. Gray and Lewis are at present substituting for these men, and are almost as good.

There are. In fact, half a dozen men of only average ability. None of them has as yet shown enough to take the place of Cabot and Moulton in anything like a satisfactory way. The weaknesses at eud nnd centre will undoubtedly he closely attended to, and very often the weakest place at the beginning of the season becomes the strongest by the time of the big games. It is more than likely that tackle will ultimately be the weakest place, while the ends will be well looked out for.

Princeton, October 1. Princeton opened the season here to-day by defeating Lehigh by a score of 21-0. The day was too warm for foot ball, and this may in some degree nccount for the wretched playing on the part of the Tigers. Their interference was ragged, and fumbling at critical moments cost them many points. For the Tigers Captain Illllebrnud, Booth and Geer gave their opponents the most trouble, while Chamberlain and Spnlrs did the best work for Lehigh.

In the first half the visitors had the kick off, but the Tigers rushed the ball down the field in short orler, nnd Palmer had the honor of crossing the line for the first touchdown of the season. Mills failed to kick the goal, but redeemed himself by a successful effort five minutes later, when Lathrope made the second touch-down. The next scoring was a safety by Lehigh. Booth blocked the following kick fiercely, and chased the hall across the line. He fumbled, however, enabling Lehigh to make another safety.

No further scoring was done In this- half, and time wis called with the ball in Princeton's possession on the visitors' 40-yard line. In the second half Princeton had the kick off. Spelrs attempted to punt on the second down, but the puss was wild, the pigskin going over the line, where Pell captured It for the last Mills kicked a difficult goal.

R. DEFEATED Franklin and Marshnll Won After a Hard Struggle. Special TeU'jram to THE TIMES. Lancaster, October 1. The foot-ball season of 181W was inaugurated this afternoon on the gridiron of Franklin and Marshall College, when that team llned-np against the strong eleven of the Pennsylvania R.

R. Y. M. 0. of Philadelphia, defeating them by the score of 5 to 0.

The visitors came to Lancaster thirty strong, and when they appeared upon the field the consensus of opinion was that they would carry off the honors of the contest, as they outweighed the college men by several pounds to the man. Captain Smith found the local players arranged for preliminary practice. In the second half Stoueroad kicked off to Smith, who, with the wind in his favor, returned the pig skin to Trelchler, who carried It 25 ynrds to the middle of the field. Here there was fast playing, Metzentln carrying the bull for 25 yards more. The ball was carried to the 20-yard line, and here It was that the visitors played off side.

Quickly the ball was thrown to Trelchler, and before the V. M. O. A. got in line be kicked a pretty goal from the field, scoring the only points scored by either side during the game.

The game from then on was very Interesting, as both elevens fought furiously, neither side gaining much ground. Shortly before time was called Schnedor. Metzentln and Trelchler mude fair gains, advancing the ball to within 5 yards of the opposing team's goal. McNabb, Harshaw, Smith and Peters, anil, in fact, all the members of the visiting eleven did splendid work, while Trelchler's kicking and Schneder's anil Metzentiu's runs were features of the game.

A. W. MEET And This One Was as Frosty as It Could Be. Baltimore, October 1. In spite of ninny dlscourngements and predictions to the contrary, the National Circuit races were ran as scheduled at the Colosseum this afternoon.

The Hbsence of the star sprinters, who have beeu disciplined by Mr. Mott's Racing Board, however, had Its effect on the crowd, and the attendance was small. It seemed for a time this afternoon that one misfortune would follow close upon the heels of another, and that the meet would be a fiasco. The management of the track refused to allow the racers to enter upou the track until their entrance fees were paid. The sprints rebelled and a strike seemed Imminent.

Fur a number of years a particular kind of mule or donkey harness has been lu the hands of a few merchants simply because they would not divulge from whoiuj they purchased their goods." After some Inquiry, according to the report, It wns learned that the harness mentioned was made In Glasgow.

Confident of their ability to keep the score within the limit of that made against them ihy Penn last year, the State College eleven enterPd the game on Franklin Field yesterday afternoon determined to play the Quakers to a standstill. In some respects this determination was verified, for at times the collegians from Bellefonte braced up ami played such a stiff article of foot-ball that the Red nnd Blue players were unable to make any material gains.

This was especially true in their attacks on tackles and centre, but on their attempts to run the ends Penn was generally successful, as State seemed to be weak against the strong interference of Pennsylvania. State has nu exceptionally heavy, active and strong team of players, and few of the spectators expected to see Pennsylvania score more than thirty points against them. That the Quakers were enabled to make such a large total was in but a small degree due to State's poor work, but rather the good playing on the part of the Ited and Blue eleven. True, there was a great deal of fumbling, but In most cases it was confined to few individuals and did not materially affect the character of Penn's work. The main feature of the playing of the Quakers that stood out Conspicuously was the exceptionally fine interference and assistance that every man gave the runuer.

To this more than anything else is due the unexpectedly big score made against State. It Is seldom that a team offers such assistance to a runner in the big and final contests of the year after weeks of hard nnd consistent practice as Penn did yesterday. Eliminating some miserable fumbling at times the work of Pennsylvania was almost lieyond criticism, considering the earllness of the season and the temperature of the day. At various times during the game every man figured more or less In a sensational play that evoked much applause from the three thousand spectators present. The men to do the most brilliant Individual work, however, were Captain Outland.

Folwell. Overfield, Hedges, Harrison, McCrnekeu ami Carnett. These men were all over the field, following the ball with a closeness that (lid not permit of their losing sight of It for a moment. As a consequence, their offensive nnd defensive play was exceptionally good. In advancing the ball Outland and Harrison made the most and longest gains, ench carrying the pig skin on several occasions more than half the length of the field.

In all of Harrison's runs Hedges and Outland were the prlncrpnl fnctors in interference. In one instance, however, when Harrison started down the field after the catch of punt Overfield gave a remarkable spectacle of effective Interference. Harrison had outsprlnted all the State players save two, and these were nbont to leap at his fleeing form when Overfield came thundering down from the rear and throwing himself after the two State men so adroitly Interrupted their progress that both went'sprawl-Ing to the ground. In the first half I'enn defended the east goal, having won the toss and electfd to make It their defense, ns the wind slightly favored the punter. This undoubtedly assisted the Red and Blue In making the total of 34 In the first half, as many yards were gained on Walker's punting.

Folwell and Hedges were like hawks In Ketthur down the field under Walker's kicks, and not once did a State back escape these two sterling ends. Both played a remarkably fast game in the first half, breaking State's end Interference up so effectively that few gains were made around the ends. In the second half Penu made two substitutions, Iteiigenberg going at end In Fol-well's place nnd Snover moving out from tackle to end, DoSilver playing tackle. While Penn scored but six points in the second half, these substitutions were in no way responsible for this small score, Rengenberg played well, smashing up the interference and following the ball closely. State niaved with much desperation In the second half, which, combined with some bad fumbling when the hall was progressing up toward their goal, saved them from having; a larger score made against them.
