1 THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. SUNDAY -MORNING; OCTOBER 18, 1896. CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL GAMES eree Laurie Bliss. Yale. Linesmen Helm, Schaefer and Hull; Time 40 minutes.

Sports and Foot-Ball Combine to Make a Big Day at Willow Grove. The annual fall games of the Central High School were held yesterday on the Willow Grove track. The only record that was lowered during the day was that of the two mile run from 12 minutes 24 seconds to 11 -minutes 29 seconds. The, new records established were two mile bicycle, half mile bicycle and 100 yards dash for freshmen. Cornell Played Indifferently.

Special Telegram to The Times. Ithaca, October 17. Cornell played an Indifferent sort of game against Tufts here to-day before a large audience and under favorable weather. The halves were of 20 and 15 minutes duration. There was considerable fumbling on both sides, but the tackling was sharp throughout.

It was evident that Cornell was holding In for the Harvard game, and none of Sauford's pet plays were put into execution. Cornell's play was disappointing to her rooters, and the stock as to the result with Harvard has taken a drop. For Tufts Captain Davis played a star game at left end, putting Taussig out of the play continually. For Cornell Young and Beachaui punted well. Beacham, Mc-Keever and Feunell did most of the ground gaining.

Tracy at full was not tried much. Short and Wilson distinguished themselves The 100 yards dash, for which holds a record of 10 3-5 seconds, was run off In 10 4-5 nnd woa by a yard by.Hart. The 220 yard dash was easily captured by Thom as. In the half mile bicycle Watt had a close race with Hasson for flrst place, but In the two mile bicycle defeated Watt, the former getting second place and the latter national circuit stars. Including Butler and Eddie Bald, and their efforts were rewarded yesterday by the receipt of Butler's entry.

He will ride in all the professional races. Eddie Bald's entry 'is also expected. With such men coming here to compete against Church, Aker, -Jack, McCurdy and other local stars, there seems to be no reason why this meet should not prove as Interesting as those held earlier in the season. The quarter-mile open and mile open professional will practically decide the championship of Pennsylvania. All the local men are training hard, and as the result will depend mainly on their respective abilities as "sprinters," the outcome cannot help but arouse great enthusiasm.

Entries for the meet will close on Thursday next, October with P. K. Manning, 262 Xorth-Broad street. The ways and means committee of the Columbia Cyclers have a kick coming ou account of non-ticket selling abilities of the members for the annual benefit to "Lady Slavey" on the 27th. "Come, together." The bowling carnival given by the bowling team of the Columbia Cyclers last night was a marked success in a social way.

About forty members and visiting wheelmen participated. The next bowl will take place at Twenty-sixth and Girard avenue. The progressive euchre given by the Columbia cyclers at their club bouse on Friday was a decided success. The club will give aother euchre next week. The bicycle has become the means of raising funds for procuring the sinews of war for use in the coming political campaign.

He passed with unerring steadiness, fumbling In but one instance. That, however, pi-evented Pennsylvania from again scoring in the second half. It Is probable that the back field ill play In the final games as It was played yesterday. Woodruff Is very effective in the Interference at full-back and does ioue remarkably good Hue bucking. He runs with tremendous speed and keeps his feet and Is very likely to come through the line for a long run on the other side.

It is true he would, be just as liable to do this by playing at guard when the guards would be played back, but his playing at full-back enables Fffenhelmer to be behind the line, and the latter shows unmistakable ability in this play. Indeed, aside from kicking it looks as though Pennsylvania's offensive strength Is greater than last year. The kicking of Minds was very fair yesterday. He was more steady and reliable and has more confidence in fcini-seif. If he continues to Improve he should do very fair work.

Pennsylvania's 22 points in the flrst half were scored on four touch-downs and a safety. The touch-downs were all the result of line plunges after carrying the ball close After the snorts a tie game of foot-bail be tween the High School and Manual Training School teams was played.

It was the best gnme the college has had this year. The home team was too heavy for the visitors, who were unable to stop the gains through the tackles and centre. The work of Hodge at right end was very strong. Arnold, Davis and J. Thistle-wood put up a strong game.

There is, of course, still much to be done to perfect the team play and other details, but the showing was most encouraging. The eleven as placed yesterday will probably be the final make-up of the team, except, of course, the ends, which will be played by Dickson and Boyle, in all probability, and the possibility of XleCraeken displacing Stannnrd at guard. Probably the most gratifying feature of the play was the good work of Goodman.

He fulfilled his duties at quarter-back in good style, and If given enough work in the next fortnight promises to do all that Is desired. Harvard and Princeton both won their eon-tests with their opponents, Harvard beating Brown by the score of 12 to 0 and Princeton scoring 11 to 0 against West Point.

The conference to decide whether or not a game should be played between Lafayette and Fenusyvanla at Franklin Field, on October 24, as originally scheduled, was held at the University t'lub at noon.

After a prolonged session It was announced that file game was off. The reasons for this action were not given further than the statement that neither side could agree with the other as to conditions. It was shown that Lafayette had coerced Pennsylvania last year into giving a larger guarantee, but the Lafayette however, insisted that this year's difficulties were the outgrowth of a misunderstanding and not a desire on Lafayette's part to act similarly. However, Professor March met Dr. Smith, Dr.

White, Mr. P.ell and Manager McAvoy later In the afternoon at the University, and it Was there decided to play the game on the 24th upon the original terms. This decision was gratifying to Pennsylvania enthusiasts, to the members of the team and to the coaches.

Five thousand people saw Pennsylvania defeat Lehigh on Franklin Field-yesterday by a score of ,34 to 0. The game was the strongest exhibition that Pennsylvania has put up this year. Though their work was far from championship form, it is still very encouraging and promises well for the future. The defensive play was scarcely up to the usual standard, hut the aggressive play far above anything yet shown by the team. There was much more life and vim in the play than at any previous time.

Twenty-1wo points were made In the flrst half of twenty-five minutes, and In the second half Pennsylvania scored twice with a total of 12 and lost a third touch-down by a fumble on the seven-yard line. Their work, however, was remarkably free from fumbles, considering their liability to this fault earlier iu the season. The team used the guards back interference for the first time this year. Lehigh was simply lost when trying to stop It, although 1hey made a game attempt. Pennsylvania outweighed them, but the made up for their lack of weight by their sureness in tackling.

White was particularly effective at this work, while Masoij, who replaced Senior, also did very capably. Uffenhelmer and Wharton played behind the Hue nnd formed the brunt of the Interference.
