Between the halves they gathered around the hoards and cheered lustily for Harvard. As if in answer, the hoard registered a touch-down and a goal for Harvard. At this the audience went wild. The people were also much pleased over the results of the Princeton-Yale game.

The ball strikes the bar and Gray cap-lures the pigskin aud makes 1.8 yards. Again an Interchange of punts leaves the ball In the centre of the field.

Washington, November 21. Favorite players had a bad day at Bennings, only one being successful. The jumping race narrowed down to two horses, and the stewards of the meeting believed Tall-man did not ride as well as lie might, so he was set down for the meeting and the National Steeplechase Association will no doubt be asked to revoke his license.

Five thousand people at Camp Randall this afternoon witnessed the most stubbornly fought football game ever played In Wisconsin. It waa between the elevens from the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin, and the latter won by a score of 6 to 0, gaining its touch-down within Ave minutes from the end of the second half and kicking the goal. The day was raw with a wind from the northwest. This aided the Badgers in the second half. The ball was never close to Wisconsin's goal, but several times the visitors were very bard pressed and only saved themselves bv magnificent defensive play.

There was much punting and the ball was more often taken from Minnesota on downs than vice versa. Captain Richards, of Wisconsin, did the star playing, but, as a rule, the game was too doggedly contested for brilliant exhibitions. Two Wisconsin men were knocked out, but the casualties were not serious.

Missed goals Baird, 3. Time Two ail-minute halves. PRINCETON COACHES' VIEWS Yale's Team Was the Weakest They Have Turned Out in Years. Special Tolegram to The Times. New York, November 21.

Alex Moffat, the Princeton coach, has this to say of the game: "The result of the game to-day proved that Princeton's team play had been brought to a higher form of perfection than people In general anticipated before the game. In the early part of the game Yale proved that the yhad studied the problem of blocking kicks effectively and Princeton had to change her tactics. But Princeton found that she could 1-ush the ball so easily that it was not necessary to kick except on a few occasions thereafter. In the few times that Baird was forced to kick I Ills team protected htm by throwing over the tackles on the left side of the line. At each exchange of punts Baird gained from ten to fifteen yards on his opponeuts.

The Princeton team was exceedingly strong In defense as well as offense, and with the exception of a few trick plays Yale failed to advance the ball many yards." Franklin B. Morse, another Princeton coach, says: "The Yale team were cleanly outclassed from the start. It was one of the weakest teams ale ever turned out. If Princeton had started out with rushing tactics, Yale would not have scored her touchdown and Princeton would probably have added to her score. Kelly played a' strong game aud all the backs started quickly and took their openings.

Baird outpunte'd bis opponents. Princeton played strong, clean and straightforward foot-ball and resorted to no tricks. The Interference was splendid aud every man was in his place."

THEY MAY FIGHT AFTER ALL From Present Indications the Big Guns May he Rrousht Together. Boston, November 21. James J. Corbett, the pugilist, has signed an agreement with Warren Lewis, president of the Greater New York Athletic Club, formerly the Coney Island Athletic Club, to spar twenty rounds with "Bob" Fitzsimmons before tile club on January 14 for a purse of $20,000 put up by Lewis. Lewis received a reply to his message to Fltr-slmmons.

The latter asked for a week's time to consider Lewis' offer. A favorable answer, however, is ultimately expected. Lewis and Colvllle saw Corbett and both offered him the same amount, but as Colvllle would not put up a guarantee, Corbett accepted Lewis' offer, and the latter will deposit with Al Smith. Under the conditions both men must put up $2,500 with the club as a guarantee of their appearance, which will go to euch in case the other does not appear. Corbett expressed himself as being satisfied with the arrangements, and his decision, which he announced from the stage, was received witli cheers by the audience.

Colvllle. who did not get the fight, did not appear to be chagrined. On tho other hand, he said that he was glad that there was such a bright outlook for a fight. The date, January 14, was selected rather hastily by Lewis and he will endeavor after Fltzsimnious has signed to have it chauged to January 1. Fitzsimmons is already training for his light with Sharkey, and Corbett can get In condition in two weeks.

Corbett sent a telegram to Fitzsimmons, stating that twenty rounds would be a finish light and that tulk of a finish tight would spoil all. A message was also received from Julian, Fltzsinimous' manager, demanding a championship battle to a finish, but if such a fight is impossible, then "uny old kind of a match will suit." Lewis' desire for a change In date is to enable the fight to be pulled off before the New York Legislature can change the present law. asifio Special Sale OF" HIGH GRADE BEftB SIMS I THEY ARE NOT $4.00 hats, nor seconds, nor old stock marked down.
