The third quarter opened with Niagara still punting to keep out of Stanwix Wins First Half of Walden Stakes Senator Norn's Home First in Second. By W. C. VRFIKLAXD, Staff CiuxrsponnVnt of The Kale. Baltimore, Nov.

10 Long Island and Maryland horses took the measure of the Western colts in the famous Walden Stakes, which was split Into two sections and offered as the third and fifth races at the Pimlico track this afternoon. The Kancocas Stable's Stanwix won the first, with Gifford A. Cochran'a Sunspero second and Bud Fisher's Mr. Mutt, third. Tho time waj 1:39 4-5.

The Kenton Stable's Senator Nor-ris captured the second portion, with W. It. Coe's Lady Belle, second and the Riddle Farm's Big Prize, third. The time was 2-5. Stanwix was nearly 13 to 1 in the odds and Senator Norris a trifle better than 29 to 2.

The second division brought out the best colts and fillies, thirteen in Twelve colts and fillies mado up the field for the first heat. Among the contestants of the. division was Beau Butler, which won tho Pimlico Futurity, a week ago in a gallop. In the race today he failed to obtain any portion of the rich prize and finished sixth. Stanwix added $8,150 to his stable's winnings as his portion of the stake and Senator Norris helped out a lean season for Guy Bedwoll, his trainer, with Transmute a False Favorite.

Transmute was favorite for the first section. This on the strength of his good fourth in the Pimlico Futurity. Always this colt is heavily backed In his events he races well enotmh to induce his admirers lo invest a little, money in his next slart. Hut each start fails to find Mm in front. So it proved in this instance.

He raced in the second division, alternating in fifth and sixth place, but again finished outside of the money. Stanwix won with speed in re serve. At the finish ins margin ot advantage was a length. He could have increased it had it been nec. essary, but it was sulncient tor tne Judges to see him without the slightest trouble.

The start of the event. as all race3 of a mile at Pimlico are, was at the sixteenth pole, and tne finishing post at that point in the To a fairly good start Transmute was the first to break the. line, with Kunsporo second and Elvina third. Bob Tail was fourth and 8tanwix, next the rail, was fifth. Baffling brought up the rear.

Sunspero Shows the Way. L. Coltiletti hustled Sunsporo to the front on the clubhouse turn and he drew out end showed the way by a length. Running Wild, Mad Play and Fabian were heads apart in the order named. Stanwix, under easy restraint, waa fifth.

Mr. Mutt, minus early speed, was last, a dozen lengths behind the leader. When the backstretch was reached Mad Play forced Sunspero to a fast pace. This piece of strategy was done with the set purpose to help the chance of his stablemafe, Stanwix, the main reliance of Sam C. Hildreth, For six furlongs Mad P'lay was able to play his part.

Ho then dropped hack. Rut his mission was accomplished, for Sunspero's keen edge of f-pecd was worn out. SInmvix Wins in Hand. As Mad Play began to slow up La- vcrne 1'ator nioved Stanwix into the picture. The good-looking son of Ballot raced up fast on the outside.

and, catching Sunspero on the. bend for home, easily passed him, took the lead and won without being fully extended. Sunspero was a similar distance in front of Mr. Mutt. The last nam.id, as usual, began picking up the leaders in the last halt mile.

He closed a. big gap and though running very strong in tho first quarter was unable to do better than to nip Mad Play out of third money by a neck. Beau Butler a Hobby Horse. Although Beau Uutler was conced ing many pounds to each of his opponents, he was mado the favorite for the secvond section of the stake. The students of iorm thought he.

fculd he abie to concede the handi cap because he had won the Pimlico uturlty in a romp. But the difference 111 the weights fairly anchored him. At no Rtage of the mile was he a factor. He was simply one of the slarters. He broke sluggishly at tlte start, never caught his stride, raced with wobbling action of a hobby horse and finished seventh, which brought no solace to his backers.

Just as the barrier was released at the start Aga Kahall, which finished third in the Pimlico Futurity, stumbled and 1'. Walls, his rider, rolled out of Ihe saddle. Fortun- telv, the other horses were not near Aga Kalian, and Walls escaped with a few minor bruises. Bracodale, first at the start. showed the pack the way for five furlongs, with 11.

T. Waters at his side. Sun Flag and Lord Baltimore were next. Lady Belle was in the middle of the third division, strug gling to get out of eighth place. Senator Nonis was third from last.

Kummcr Started Firiy Clarence Kummcr gave H. T. Waters his head running the turn out of the backstretch, and that colt shot to the front and opened u. gap of three lengths. His admirers were Jubilant.

But the sprint was too soon by at least a furlong, and the colt began to back up turning into the stretch. Brocadale and Sun Flart had quit, but there were new factors in the struggle Lady Belle and Senator Norris. This pair fairly smothered the leader for speed in the final furlong. Senator Norris, on the outside, moved up with the filly from th half-mile posi. They kept company with Lndy Belle, slightly in front to the last stride, when the strength of the colt wore down the filly and elabled him to win by a head.

every way the race for tho second division was the better. The first six furlcngs was four-fifths of a second faster than the colts stepped in tho first secttion, and at the. mile was two-tifths better. There was a record crowd out to see the. struggle, the bright weathi and fast track helping materially to furnish framework for outdoor Field Goal and Safety Bring Disaster to Tiger Team.

By GEORGE CIRRIE. Talmer Stadium, Princeton, N. J. Nov. 10 Princeton watched ghostly shade of the Haughton sys tem stalk Into her football horse shoo today and boot an ectopias malic field goaol over the bar in a ghastly game watched by 67,000 roaring sons and friends of Harvard t.nd Old Nassau.

ine ghost was Carl Pfaffman, larvard's tennis star and drop-kicking 157 pound, 6 foot 1 inche substitute end. In the third period with the coolness of a Brickley, he stood about 7 yards behind his line ana kicked one of the most deliber-atlve field goals ever scored in Palmer Radium. The result was excessively realistic, from a Princeton point of view. Instead of slaughtering the sluggish Harvard team, the Orange and mack yielded Itself up a sacrifice on tne altar of Cambridge vengeance, Tigers were not made to vanquish To those who take their football straight, the most interesting result or me game was the complete vindi ration of the Haughton method. Harvard had an opportunity to score She made the most of It.

Then she saw to It that Princeton go no chances. It was all as simple as ABC and superbly Haughtonesqtie, In the fourth period, Harvard ftgain vindicated her departed coach Placing a pur.t outside of Princeton's 14-yard line, the greet Crimson line, brimming over with potentialties, found itself, and, taking advantage of Princeton's reckless bid for all or Brooklyn's favorite, Bob Beattle, on his own 8-yard line, Once again Dinsniore, the Tiger quarterback, defied Fate and elected to rush tHe ball. And the Harvard linemen, sure of themselves for the first time this season. swept the Princeton team back on lits goal line, with Legendre nailed neatly by Greenough to the goal post. A New Way to Save a Safety.

The big Princeton back held the ball on the field side of the post and It desperation clung to the white up right. He was powerless to budge. It was a moment of black disaster to the Orange and Black, the darkest moment in Princeton's long football history. The Princeton stands were dumb In the tragedy of that minute. And this is why: On the next piny the puss was bsd But Legendre never had a chance.

Knur crimson Jerseys eagerly de tached themselves from the pile of waving arms and wiggling legs and savagely smote him, hip and thigh. Bo hard was he bowled over that he lost the hall, but in a last wild, heart broken effort he barely managed to curl around the pigskin. Instantly he vanished under a pile of triumph ant Harvard men. It wa sa safety and two more points for Harvard. The Crimson wanted this game.

Not since the war have Harvard un dergraduates enjoyed the luxury of a snake dance at Princeton expense They made up for lost time, singing in sour but joyous melody. The first half was stalemate, with Praffman making tho only bid for pnre. mlsslnir a field firoal bv inches to the side. Tho second half bega.fl with the strange sight o.f Princeton on the short end of the breaks. Dinsmore paved the way for PfaJf man's field goal when he sought to handle a bad punt from cordingiy.

Ho was surrounded with Harvard players and in front of him was tho umpire. He could not have run the kick back if he had caught the ball. Dinsmore's Hard Lack, But he did not catch the ball. It hit his shoulder, glanced against his knee and rolled over toward the sld line. Coombs, Harvard man of opportunity, fell on it.

And that ended Princeton's chances. It wa3 all over on the second play follow ing, with the shade of Haughton, a substitute end, tne nero or tne day and a great name forever at Cam bridge. Two years ago the bell on Nassau Hall pealed out with the joy of Princeton's victory after two years of tics. Now Harvard is shouting, "Curfew shall not ring tonight." It was a famous victory, but with on eye to Yale, it is hard to toll just what it was all about. The Harvard lin-? was slung together under much-needed punishment, but Jenkins and McGlone, carried off the field, may not play against this year.

The Crimson won without its two stars but it won by taking ad vnntage of every break, one of which is created itself as the game drew to a close. Cheek of Harvard proved to be Fisher's best bet for the season. Ho is a line smasher of ground cover ing ability, with an eye for holes and a will to get tho last half yard as he is tackled. Those Substitutes Shine. For Princeton, the outstanding figure was Williams, an unsung substitute.

Princeton before the game thought so little of Williams that he did not even appear on the official score. He was playing around with the scrubs between the halves while the Harvard and Princeton bands blared defiant amenities and tuneful threats at each other. The line-up: ITnrvard (5).

Philadelphia, Nov. 10 The sturdy Lafayette College team defeated Pennsylvania on Franklin Field to day by the narrow margin of 8 to 6. A touchdown and a safety accounted for the scoie of the victorious team. Lafayette played superior all-around game. Pennsylvania was somewhat weakened by the absence of several of her best players.

Dern, the star quarter, was out of the game from blood poisoning, and Captain Hamer did not get into the contest until it was seen that the Quakers were not holding the hard playing team from Easton. The safety came In the third period a moment after Pennsylvania had narrowly escaped having a touchdown scored against her. Lafayette secured the ball on a blocked kick on Pennsylvania's 18-yard line. After a temporary loss of 5 yards on a fumble. Lafayette hammered the Pennsylvania line, Chicknoski doing yeoman work in carrying the ball.

Finally it was worked to within one yard of Penn's goal line, where the Quakers rallied andtook the ball on downs. Captain Hamer opped behind the line to punt out. Lafayette's forwards broke through and blocked the kick and in the scramble for the ball Hamer dropped on it for the safety. Each Team Scores. Each side scored a touchdown in the second period, principally on hard line plunging.

Penrsylvania was the first to score, gaining possession of the ball on an intercepted pass on Lafayette's 45-yard line. She worked the ball steadily down the field until within a few inches of the goal line, where Frank Wittmer, formerly of Erasmus Hall, broke through left inekie fnr the score. McC.rnw failed to add the extra point with an un successful placement kick. Lafayette's touchdown came soon afterward.

State College, Nov.

10. The Nittany Lions of Penn State defeated Georgia Tech football learn before a crowd of 14,000 hero today. The score, 7 to 0, failed to indicate the total superiority that State held over the Southerners, for the Lions regis tered 16 first downs, while Tech tear that rolled up 11 first downs on Notre Dame, could collect but two and those in the closing minutes or tne game.

The defensive nicy of the Penn State line, the plunging of Wilson, anu jonnston, and 'that of Wycoff for Tech, featured the contest. State worked a dozen forward passes for gains of 77 yards. Each team Intercepted a pass. The near est the Georgians got to Penn State's goal was the 33-yard line, when Wabell, substituting for Gardner, intercepted one of Laffety's forward passes just before the second period.

Xew York received a glimpse of Doleful "Gil" Coble's juggernaut from Ithaca In action yesterday at the Polo Grounds. The Cornelllans managed to roll up a total of 35 points against Percy Haughtbn's Columbia eleven, with Captain Pfann of tho Ithaca machine playing a major part In the proceedings. Thls year's steam roller seems to hare lost none of Its effectiveness due to Ine loss of Eddie Kaw, the All-Amerlcan halfback of 1922. In Pfann the Ithacans possess a worthy replacement to the great Kaw, and to judge from his showing yesterday, the Cornell captain is apparently headed to fill the shoes of Kaw Jn an ail-American berth for 1923. The general consensus of the crit ics before -the game yesterday' was that Captain Pfann and hlB team mates would amass a total of approximately 45 to 50 points at least against Columbia, especially when it was considered that the Ithncans had run up over 30 points each against both Colgate and Dartmouth in pre vious games this season.

The Colum bla eleven, however, held surprisingly well and fought like inspired demons against the line plunges and runs of the "Big Red'' team's hack-field. All their herculean efforts proved fruitless, however, for the Ithacans were nor. to te denied. Walter Koppisch, captain of the New York outfit, was by far the shin ing light of his scrappy eleven. It was Kopplscn wno made tne gains, who kicked, who fathomed the Cornell plays, and starred generally for Columhla.

He seemed to be all over the field: fact, many there are who think "Wally" was too fast for himself. Certainly, he has never exhibited such speed on a gridiron before. Several times the Columbia captain was apparently headed for a long gain, only to find his feet going out from under him witn not a tack ier within yards. Koppisch Is one of the fastest men in football togs on any team in the country; he was a blue streak yesteroay. Columbia Strong at Start.

About 35,000 spectators greeted the two elevens as they strode on the field. After Schlmitisch had kicked off for Columbia, the Blue and White rooters became hilarious as Brodil and Wagner, who starred throughout the game, smeared the Cotnell backs in their efforts to pierce the line. Tho first quarter resolved itself into a punting duel, with the respective captains of the two elevens, Pfann and Koppisch. exchanging punts. The Columbia line held surprising ly well during the early stages of the game.

The line has been the glaring weak point of the Morning-side eleven this season, but yesterday It held superbly In comparison with its past efforts. As the first quarter was drawing to a close. Pfann got loose and went around his right end for 48 yards, placing the hall on Columbia's 12-yard line. Ex cellent Interference and a straight-arm Jab, which knocked several would-be tacklers sprawling on the ground, were responsible for this long dash. Two line plunges by Ramsey put the ball over for the first score of the game.

Pfann kicked the goal. The "Red" Procession. The sudden turn of affairs sarted things moving for Cornell. Schlmi tisch again kicked off for Columbia, and the Cornell procession started down the field. RamseyV Pfann, Patterson, and Cassidy all took turns at carrying the bail.

Pfann was so slippery that it took two or three Columbia tacklers to bring him down COLORED SOLDIERS TO BOX. Colored heavyweights who have figured in bouts with Harry Wills, Sam Langford and John Lester Johnson will furnish the battling in the main bout at the 27th Train Armory next Tuesday night. The participants will be "Rough House" Ware and Ray Bennett, and as both Irlrt a wicked wallop plentv of fisticuffs is expected. The scheduled distance is 10 rounds. Ware and Bennett are- members of the 369th Inf.

pT. JOHN'S COLLEGE football team continued on its winning way yesterday by trouncing Niagara University by 23 to 7, at Ebbets Field. Jt was the first grid iron contest ever held between these two Vincentian institutions. John's won the toss and elected to kick off. Ted Plumrldge booted the ball to Sheehey, who ran 5 yards to his own 20-yard line before he was tackled by McCrady.

Niagara decided that the big Red line was invulnerable after three plunges failed, and Bowman punted to Kennedy, who was downed in mid-field St. John's started its deadly aertel game immediately, and a forward from Kennedy to Kamiun netted 28 yards. Niagara recovered a St. John's fumble and Bowman punted to Thomas on the first down. St.

John's fumbled for the second time, and it was Niagara a ball in midneld. Bowman refused the issue and punted on the first down for 1 he second time, Kennedy receiving the ball and going ahead 15 yards to his own 30-yard line. At this point Ken nedy called on his halfbacks, Matthews and Thomas, to hit the Niag ara line. Two plunges by Matthews netted 12 yards and 2 more by Thomas were good for an additional 10. WeiHs, on a delayed fake pass, crashed through the center of the line for 12 yards.

Thomas ripped through for 4 yards, but fumbled when he was tackled and Mullin recovered for Niagara. The first quarter ended with the ball in the vis-Tlors' possession on their own 35-yard line. Kennedy Passes Well, Bowman punted again to Thomas, who was downed in his tracks on his 30-yard line by Mullin. Thomas sliced off right tackle for 15 yards and a first down, while Weiss hit the same spot for 9 yards. Thomas made 4 yards and another first down by driving through right guard.

Standing at mtdfield, Kennedy threw a 35-yard forward to Price, who was Ivmg on the ground when he caught the This sterling play was followed by'another case of but-terfingers and Niagara recovered the ball on her own 15-yard stripe. Two attempted end runs were spiked by i 1 McC rady wno roa in a hampered behind the Niagara line. On the second attempted end run he threw Heeker. Niagara's best bet, for a 10-yard loss. Standing behind his own goal line.

Bowman kicked to Thomas, who was standing on Niagara's 45-yard mark. Starting with the speed of a deer, the Oklahoma lad raced through the entire Niagara team. He was accompanied by Price, who gave wonderful interference. When this pair had reached the 20-yard mark there were three Niagara men blocking their path. Price left his feet and took out two of them and Thomas, after stiff-arming the third, raced unmolested across the goal line for a touchdown.

Kennedy drop-kicked for the extra point. Plumridge kicked off, for St. John's was tricky, and Price recovered Stan-lev's fumbloon Niagara's 40-yard line. Standing in midfield, Kennedy threw a 40-yard forward to Leo i Prendergast, who romped the re- Ma. Bell Elected Tennis Club President Mai.

The winter program will vunsi.st On Columbia's 10-yard line, Cor nell was penalized for holding. Tin penalty only served to force Pfann to unloose a couplo of forward passes to Buckley, who took the ball ot' on the second heave. Pfann's trusty right toe again added the extra point. In fact, the Cornell captain failed to miss one of his five at tempts during the course of the afternoon. Sundstrom, the giant Cor nell tackle, takes care of the kicking ordinarily.

However, the big Red linesman was forced out of the game In the first five minutes due to a leg Injury. MLss a Field Goal. Haughton's men were presented with their only chance to score in the latter part of the second quarter. Wagner recovered a fumble by Cassidy on Cornell's 25-yard line. A lateral pass.

Pease to Koppisch, netted 10 yards. The It.hacan line held, and then Schimitlsch attempted a field goal, missing by the narrowest of margins. Columbia never again got within scoring distance of the Cornell goal; their oppor tunity to prevent a whitewash bad been lost forever. The whistle ending the first half blew shortly there after. On the very first play in the second half, Ramsey tore through the center of the line and finding himself clear, shot down the right side of the field for 45 yards.

Pfann took the ball on the next play, again dove through center, straight-armed George Pease, and shot over for another touchdown. Columbia then unloosed a forward-passing attack, Pease making attempts to land tho ball In the arms of Tilhonen, Kop pisch, Wagner, but every try proved unsuccessful. Cornell scored last touchdown by a forward thrown by Pfann to Cassidy, which gained 20 yards. The Ithacan captain again went over. being tackled desperately bp a num ber of Columbia linesmen, but always holding his feet until he crossed the last chalk-mark.

The figures show that Cornell gained 426 yards by rushing to Columbia's 62. while Cornell made 21 first down to Columbia's 8.

At this point Niag ara opened up with all varieties of shifts and trick plays. Herker criss crossed through right tackle for 10 yards and then went. around right enu tor iz more. A clever exe cuted forward pass from Sheehy to Meeker resulted in a gain of 20 yards. The third quarter ended with the ball in Niagara's possesion on St.
