24. At the next meeting of the Cleveland council Monday night an ordinance will probably be Introduced providing for the final arrangements for the elimination of grade crossings on the Cleveland Pittsburg division of the Pennsylvania road. In It I estimated that the cost of this work will approach flO.OOO.OCO. and that from five to eight years will be required for its completion. Two concrete walls are to be constructed on either side of the Pennsylvania's right of way through the city, a distance of five miles.

The space between the walls is to be filled with dirt and cinders, and the tracks laid upon the top, the wall being high enough to allow the passing of street cars, under Jt at the street crossings, which will be spanned by steel girder bridges. While the original cost of this work will be greater, the officials think It will prove more durable and satisfactory in the long run, than trestle work. That thl is the plan which the engineer of maintenance of way is working upon Is stated on the authority of a leading Pennsylvania official of Cleveland.

JUDD SCHMIDT MAKES A SENSATIONAL RUN. Substitutes Allow Visitors to Score. Chancellor Aids Enthusiastic Rooters. VICTORY, honestly and courageously won, was the conclusion of one of the best footbail games ever seen in this vicinity, when, yesterday afternoon, the U- P. bOVS.

fis-uratlvelv iiugVInc wiped up the field with the State college team to the merry tune of 22 to i-The gold and blue flaunted enthusiastically above the blue and white, and th unklndest cut of all was when the Wups, at the conclusion of the last half, put five subs In the contest, to allow the 4k earn their letters: U. and under these circumstances our own bop virtually gave the visitors the five point! which they had scored up to their credit when the field of battle was cleared. Although the weather was inclement, ther were 8.500 souls present, and when th State team was pushed all over the field this mass of humajiity arose in unisoi and yelled, danced, threw up their hats and pandemonium reigned as a tribut to those who faithfully carried the day. Cheer for Defeated Ones. It was not an unkind crowd, and when-ever some of the members of the visiting team executed a clever play his act was appreciated and he would be given a well-deserved send off.

The large grand stand was packed, as were the bleachers on either side. Everyone present was a rooter, and was there with his or net voice, aided to a vociferous extent by tic horns, cowbells and innumerable other Instruments of torture. There were hundreds of State sympathizers present, and to keep up their own spirits they gathered together in little crowds, gave theii college yells and did their est to encourage their own players, who from the v. wgjiining iougni nara against but om apparent resuit, that of failure. With every circus there is the "gent" who is classed "Boscoe," and 'he eats them alive." In yesterday's battle royai the 'varsity boys performed this little entertainment with the collegiates from the eastern end of the State, and the gentleman who previously offered odds such as 2 to 1 and 10 to 4 on Gulden's aggregation lifted his own right leg and with the movement of a contortionist kicked himself for his reckless and previous poor judgment.

Thousands of doUara changed hands over the result of the contest, and somt of those who thought they were risking their greenbacks on the Wup3 wa-lked from the grounds congratulating themselves on their standing as "sports." Wups Have a Parade. Headed by a band, the W. U. P. boys paraded the streets of Pittsburg and Allegheny, and the turnout was the largest ever held by that university.

All along the line of march they were enthusiastically received, and while it appeared they were up against a hard proposition, they made their merry way onward, singing, yelling and cutting up all manner of antics, such as no other class of persons on earth would do, but true to that which makes the American youth the head of al! boys, that exuberancey which cannot be smothered. Then came the State college aggregation, headed also by a band from Bellefonte. Along the streets they were also given a splendid reception. At the park there was one of the largest crowds which was ever in attendance at a football game here. There were many young women present, and each was decorated with colors or carried them, and many a shock of hair was tumbled down in beautifully careless disorder over a pretty face In the madness which followed a well-executed play.

The aca of living beings In the grant stand offered an enticing picture. The bright colors of the opposite teams, intermingled with the gay raiment of the women, presented a scene of grandeur seldom seen. The State college band stationed itself at the extreme left of the grand stand, where the rooters from Bellefonte located themselves generally. Over on the right field bleachers the boys of the Western university, with a band in their midst, presented an animated scene of confusion. Kvery mother's son of them had a blu and told pennant and at a given sign i there would come forth from seores of I lusty lungs a favorite college yell, a popu-I lar song with appropriate words and under the leadership of a chap with a fcg i horn voice the din grew in volume until the stone figure on Monument hill seemed to quake.

Chance for Undergrads. At every play on the field thla happy lot of undergraduates encouraged their companions of pads and sweaters on lh field, and when the State boys made sonw little gains which were very few and far between, those of the blue and gold scoffed their friends from the East, by remarking that the few yards were allowed to make the contest interesting. One of the spectacular events of the day was the run of 67 yards by Schmidt. It set the rooters wild and the greatest excitement prevailed for some minutes. In a period of absent-mindedness the rosy cheeked girl beat the person before her over the head In her animate gesticulations.

Apologize? No; none was warned, for the person in front had already thumped the other one In front, and those at the iront row beat the railing. It wits a great day for Schmidt. Soon after the actions of the players showed that the W. iJ. P.

boys had matters all their own way, above the turmoil there came the pretty and clear notes of a bugle. Hundreds of persons leaned forward to catch a glimpse of the musician. In the midst of a bevy of pretty women there stood a little stout gray-haired gentleman with an apparently antique brass instrument at his lips, ind with great volume there poured forti the strains of: "Hail, hail, the gang's all here; "What fell do we etc. The enthusiastic personage was no other than Chancellor Samuel D. McCormick, of the Western university, and there was no person present who had more fun or enjoyed the capture of the laurels than did he.

Then he would branch off into "Yankee Doodle," "Bedelia" and other popular airs, and those within hearing distance happily kept time with their feet. It was a great day for Schmidt and McCormick. Out on. the side lines there was another who received no little attention. He was tall and wore a long biack coat and a soft felt hat, rather cowboy fashion.

He chewed at an unlighted cigar and seemed unconcerned, and once and awhile ha would look at his watch as If he thought CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX. IPS GOES TO FAIR. Accompanied by Party, Nation's Executive Leaves Washington for St. Louis. TO MAKE NO SPEECHES DURING ENTIRE TRIP.
