FIELD GOAL WINS FOR SEWANEE AT VERY END OF GAME Slippery Field Made Snappy Playing Almost an Impossibility MUD COVERED BALL HARD TO HANDLE Gillem's Punting Was Easily the Feature of the Game, But Goal Was Most Often in Danger By REl'BEY A. LEWIS On an exceedingly heavy and treacherous field, the Sewanee Tigers upset the dope yesterday by winning from Alabama in the last two minutes of play, by the score of 3 to 0. victory is attributed to the splendid kicking of Glilem, who made a field goal in the last two minutes of play, from the 15 yard line. The game was interesting and throughout, although the muddy field made fast plays impossible. On account of the exceptionally heavy field the aggregations resorted to straight football tactics, with an occasional forward pass and on-side kick.

From the beginning till the end it was a see-saw affair with lots of punting. fThe teams did not threaten to score until the third quarter, when tactics were lomewhat changed. Alabama threatened In this quarter. The interference was at a disadvantage on account of the slippery and treacherous field. Occasionally a player would on account of the glass like field and fall directly in front of the runner.

This would down him before he could start well. On the end runs the Interference was well drilled and very effective. Both teams seemed to have been well trained. Forward Pass Attempted Often The forward pass was attempted often, but succeeded seldom. Of course, the teill was covered by the mud of the field and COACH COPE, Sevranee was exceedingly heavy slippery aod the passer had great difficulty in getting It accurately to the runner.

Then at times when the runner attempted to remain stationary his feet would slip from under him and the ball would go over his head. Neither side was able to work this play to advantage until the fourth quarter, when Gillem passed the ball to Swain, who made 20 yards on the play. This brought the ball up to the 1L yard line, where Gillem made the star play of the day, kicking goal on a drop kick. The on side kick was also tried but it never succeeded in figuring in the plays that threatened to score. In the third quarter Hewanee tried to work the on side kick but did not kick quite 20 yards.

Kicking a Feature The kicking of the game for Sewanee was the best that has been seen here this year. Gillem, the star player, usually punted for 40 yards And it was his toe that won the game. When Gillem would receive the bail he would kick it directly up the field and never, excepting in one instance, did he come near His punting was the distinct feature ot the game. On the other hand, Hie punting of Moody and Baumgartner for Alabama was hardly up to the standard. This probably was the cause of their defeat.

The Alabamians gained territory Steadily but when Sewanee regained the ball punt would cui down any gain that Alabama hud made. Punting greatly In the game, but fast plays, on which Alabama depends greatly, were practically impossible. Game Was Clean The game was one of the cleanest and most pleasing exhibitions that the followers of the sport In Birmingham have seen in some time and nut a single time did unsportsmanlike playing mar it. The players were quite and seemed determined to Rheumatism A Home Cure Given by One Who Had It In the spring of 1893 I was attacked by Muncular and Inflammatory Rheumatism.

Jackson Is responsible. Above statement DETAILS OF THE GAMES Harvard 5, Dartmouth 3 Cambridge, November defeated Dartmouth in the annual game here today by a score, of 5 to 3, but Crimson adherents admitted a fluke gave them the victory. This came within five minutes after game started when Huntington dropped ori the ball which had bounded behind goal line from the 12 yard line when a punt was blocked. Dartmouth's three points were made on a field goal by Hogsett in the third quarter. Two other attempted goals from tho field went awry as Dartmouth's line was unable to hold back the Crimson players and Hogsett's kicks were blocked.

On the successful trial Hogsett got his kick away from the 22 yard line. Harvard showed very little of the strength Crimson followers hope she will produce for next game with Yale. A fake forward pass netting the Crimson a dozen yards was the only new play and was used only once. Harvard was seldom in territory. Dartmouth used several freak formations with varying results.

Wisconsin 6, Minnesota 6 Madison, November and Minnesota played desperate football to a 6 to 6 tie this afternoon, and the western football championship still is undecided. Each team made a touchdown and kicked a goal. The grame was played on a field of ice, the players having great difficulty in keeping their feet. Both touchdowns were made after long runs through the opposing team. Just before the final whistle blew, Moll of Wisconsin, made another long run for what looked like a touchdown, but ran about two feet out of bounds.

Before the ball again could be put into place the game was over. touchdown was made about 12 seconds after play was called. Gillette kicked off for Wisconsin. Capron caught the ball on his 20 yard line while running. The pigskin bounded out of his hands, but he recovered it, still running, and, dodging every Wisconsin man in the field, made a touchdown.

Wisconsin made a touchdown in the final quarter. Moll caught a punt on his 50 yard line and, eluding every Minnesota tackier, ran to the goal posts. Some of the Minnesota players apparently made no attempt to catch Moll, and they said after the game that a whistle, similar to that of the referee was sounded just as Moll got started. They said they thought time had been called. Georgetown 9, Virginia 0 Washington, November Georgetown university today defeated the pigskin warriors of the University of Virginia, 9 to on a field of mud, lined by a cheering crowd of 14,000 persons.

The game, brilliant in spots, otherwise was mediocre because of the ball and the impossibility of fast play. Georgetown's first score after two minutes of play sent the crowded stands into a frenzy of enthusiasm. The Virginia rooters were as vociferous as those of Georgetown. Their frantic calls for their team to throw back the local men were effective, for Virginia braced. It was momentary, however.

The line of Georgetown was virtually impregnable, and its offense was outclassed. Once only in the game was the Georgetown goal in any danger, and that was In the last period, when Virginia, its line strengthened by fresh men, strove desperately to score. The effort was futile. Georgetown touchdown and goal and a goal front field were the sole trophv of the struggle. Davidson 10, South Carolina 0 Columbia, November college defeated the University of South Carolina 10 to 0 In a hard fought and exciting game.

Davidson's first touchdown came as a result of a beautiful 60 yard run by Booe after a catch of a punt. This came on the third play of the game. In the third quarter Davidson got another touchdown on a block kick. Mercer 20, Clemson 6 Columbus, November played the Clemson football eleven off their feet here this afternoon, winning 20 to 6. The first touchdown and goal was made by the Macon team after a few minutes of play.

Clemson made her only touchdown In the second quarter of play. Army 12, Colgate 6 West Point, N. November With a 12 to 6 defeat of Colgate the soldiers wound up its football season today. The visitors were first to score. Catching a punt on the 15 yard line they started play with Quarterback Huntington running to the 45 yard line.

From there Cook skirted right end for a touchdown. Hyatt scored the first touchdown for the cadets by a run from the 20 yard line. In the third period a penalty set the visitors back to their two yard line. Here the Army blocked Huntington's punt and Sibert fell on the ball for a touchdown. Cornell Loses Chicago, November lost to the University of Chicago by a 6 to 0 score.

Victory was largely due to the aggressive play of Walter Kennedy, a substitute right balfback, and the kicking of Horace Scruby, who scored two field goals. Cornell came near scoring once, placing the ball on one yard line, but the Maroons held and kicked to safety, Cornell had several chances to score during the early part of the game, but luck and vicious playing by the Chicago men prevented. A strong wind swept over the field. This worked against the eastern men at critical times. work was a revelation.

The team only recently met defeat by a larger score at the hands of the University of Minnesota. Navy 0, Penn 0 Annapolis, November an eleven composed almost entirely of substitutes, Navy this afternoon played Pennsylvania State college to a scoreless tie. The Navy coaches took no chances of losing the services of any men from injuries so close to the Army game next Saturday. The only actual effort at a score was try for a placement goal after the recovery of a fumbled punt on the 20 yard line in the third quarter. The kick fell short.

Tennessee 22, Southwestern 0 Knoxville, November of Tennessee today defeated Southwestern Presbyterian university, 22 to 0, the volunteers making one touchdown In each quarter. The visitors were simply outclassed, both as offensive and defensive players. They made first down but twice. Michigan 11, Penn 9 Ann Arbor, November craft of Yost and the speed of "Jimmie" Craig enabled Michigan to defeat the University of Pennsylvania team 11 to 8 in an Icy blizzard this afternoon. Michigan scored a touchdown In the second quarter and Conkling missed goal.

The touchdown which won the game was the result of a double pass during the last few minutes of play and Craig carried the ball over after a 28 yard sprint. Conklin made the goal. Two thrilling runs by Captain Mercer, totalling over 50 yards, gave Pennsylvania a touchdown in the third quarter and Minds kicked the goal. In the final period, a few minutes before Michigan won the game, Marshall executed a perfect drop kick from the 25 yard line. Defeat was staring Michigan in the face when the trick play brought victory.

Interference started to the right and the red and blue secondary defense followed it. Then the ball was shot to Craig, waiting far to the left, and after dodging two men and out sprinting another, he crossed the Pennsylvania line. Michigan made gain after gain through the Pennsylvania line, one touchdown coming as a direct result. win, but they would not resort to underhand methods. The rooting was loud and continuous and many demonstrations were made by followers of each team.

Perhaps 200 students were present from Alabama to cheer the team to victory and strenuously did they attempt to gain the coveted prize. During the intermission the students poured upon the field and formed a snake dance. With Mr. Pratt, the boy from Alabama, leading the line, they march ed around the field and the players cheering. Dr.

Denny, the newly elected president of the university, was present and the boys gave him quite an ovation. Ho seemed greatly pleased and acknowledged the ovation. The individual star of the game was trillcm of whose punting thrilled the crowd. His work on the offensive elicited admiration, while his playing on the defensive brought forth great applause. His punting, as mentioned above, lias not been equalled year in this city.

When his loot was planted against the pigskin the ball sailed into the air for from So to 4u yards. His punts were well directed, seeming to land In the most inappropriate spot for his opponents. While his punting was the distinct feature of the game his work on the offensive was also helpful. Throughout the game he made several consistent gains that brought the ball nearer the Alabama line and brought terror to the hearts of the Alabamians. On the defense his tackling was fierce; he ran interference well, and his work was that of a star.

For Alabama, Vandergraaf, at end, played a star game. In the first quarter he made one of the two long rune of the quarter, when he succeeded in going around right end for 15 yards. In other quarters he displayed remarkable offensive talent, and his work on the defensive was also strong. Moody also played splendidly. He gained consistently and his work on the defensive was good, wnile he made a run for 25 yards in the first quarter.

Baumgardtner and Vandergraaf also played well and executed many beautiful plays. They were also strong on the defensive. The teams were penalized several times for being off-side, and at one time Sewanee was penalized for hiking. ihe Game in Detail The game began with a clear sky and a moderate wind blowing. Alabama won the toss and chose Sewanee to kick.

Sewanee kicked the ball to the ten-yard line, where Powell received it after a alight fumble and brought it to the 30yard line. After two unsuccesful attempts at gains, Alabama kicked to Sewanee, who brought It back to her 40 yard line. Here Gillespie of Sewanee was given the ball and after gaining six yards on two attempts Glllem kicked nearly 40 yards to Alabama. After a center rush and a rush by Baumgardtner, that netted nothing materially, Alabama was forcod to kick. Sewanee recovered the ball but did not gain any distance after the catch.

On the first down, Sewanee failed to gain, while they were held on the second, when they attempted a center rush. Then Olllem made another beautiful punt. On first down, Moody received the ball and made a pretty 25 -yard run around right end. On the next play Harsh made 4 yards gain through but the next down was disastrous and Alabama kicked. On two downs Sewanee gained nothing and again Glllem kicked to Moody.

McDowell was unsuccessful on the first down, while the for ward pass failed on tho second. Alabama kicked and Gillem brought it back to the uo yard line. Sewanee was penalized for being off side, and after two downs kicked to Alabama, who received the ball and then the whistle blew for the first quarter. The ball being put Into play, Tolley, for Sewanee, made four yards through tackle, and after Sewanee was penalized for the second time for being off side, they kicked. After several short gains the two teams kicked up and down the field.

The forward pass was tried several times during the quarter, but failed. The longest gain of the quarter was one by Moody for eight yards. Thus the second quarter ended. After the students had snake-danced about tie field the A.abamlans seemed encouraged. Sewanee kicked to Vandergraff, who ran 30 yards from the place where he received the ball.

Then Baumgardtner received the boll and made a daring end run around right for 20 yards. Then the ball was passed to Vandergraff, who tucked the plngskln under his arm and ran 25 yards around the same end. Encouraged by their plays the Alabamians attempted a short forward pass, but It went out of bounds, thus giving Sewanee the ball 111 close proximity to her line. Gillem, for Sewanee, attempted the on-side kick, but It did not go 20 yards, so the field Judge ordered It brought back. After several other plays the ball was again In the possession of Sewanee, who kicked.

Then A. Vandergraaf made a daring 20 yard plunge through center. This brought the ball within 25 yards of the Sewanee goal. Moody decided to attempt a goal from placement, but he failed. The ball seemed very slippery and heavy.

After maneuvering about for some time the third quarter ended with the hall on 40 yard line. In the fourth quarter, after a few substitutions, Alabama gained possession of the hall and made downs. Then Sewanee gained the pigskin and kicked. Both sides kicked a few times until Sewanee made a forward pass for 20 yards, after a few gains, which brought the hali to 15 yard line. Here G(lem scored the only points of the day a drop kick.

The game was nearly over, but two fnlnutes more of play remaining. About 3000 attended the Interesting struggle and were well pleased with the game, although Alabama lost. Summary Summary: Sewanee Position Alabama Clannahan i. e. Vandergraaf.

November a game In which the championship of the south was at stake, Vanderbilt decisively beat Mississippi on Dudley field this afternoon by a score of 21 to 0 before nearly 5000 spectators. The individual work of Ray Morrison, captain of Vanderbilt, who was playing in probably liiB last big game, was spectacular.

Mississippi played Vanderbilt a hard game and it was only by brilliant forward passes that the Commodores were able to pile up such a large score. Mississippi twice rushed the ball to within a few yards of the Vanderbilt goal line, but failed to score, one tlnu being held for downs and the other time missing an easy drop kick at the goal. Neither team scored In the first quarter. Vanderbilt had slightly the better of the Mlsslsslpplans on ground gains, but was held for downs the only time the goal was within striking distance. In the second quarter a long trick play ending in a forward pass was caught by Sykes and by him was taken to the Mississippi five yard line.

Morrison went over for a touchdown. Eater in the quarter when Vanderbilt again neared the goal line Zack Curlin was sent In by Coach McGugtn and with Mississippi players all around him cooly kicked a Held goal. This ended the scoring in tills quarter. In the th'ird quarter two sensational plays were pulled off by Morrison and Hardagee of the Commodores. With the ball on his line, where the Mississippi tcarri had rushed it.

Captain Morrison dodged the entire Mississippi team on a fake punt and ran 75 yards before he was crowded out of bounds. Immediately following this Hardagee started around left end with the ball. Blocked off he turned and started back around the other end. Again cornered he for the second time near section E-82 and after being tackled by almost every member of the Mississippi team, completed a 30 yard run for a touchdown near section T-82. Vanderbilt made a score In the last quarter when Freeland recovered a fumble by the Mississippi quarter within 11 yards of Mississippi's goal and after several short gains Sykes was likewise sent over the line.

Goals were kicked on every attempt by Morrison. GEORGIA DOWNS THEIR OLD RIVALS Atlanta, November the largest crowd ever seen at a football game in tills city, estimated at 8000, the Georgia Tech eleven today went down In defeat to their ancient enemy, the University of Georgia, by a scoie of 5 to 0. The only score of the game was made by McWhorter, who made a touohdown after running 45 yards through the entire Tech aggregation. The game was hotly contested from the start, but Tech managed to keep the ball in territory throughout most of the game. Several times they threatened to score but were unable to shove the pigskin across.

Tech adopted line plunging tactics for short but steady gains, while Georgia depended largely on their speed. Tech. Position. Georgia. Thomason.1- E.Conklin Sanchez.L.

TRAGER CO. Distillers Cincinnati fT MUDDY FIELD ENABLES GAME TIGERS TO TRIUMPH OVER YALE New Haven, November went down to defeat before a Princeton elevon this afternoon at Yale field for the first time in eight years, and out of the ooze and muddy water rose the Orango and Black warriors to set up claim to the football supremacy of the east. They had won from Yale 6 to 3. This was as decisive in figures as the score over Harvard. It was a great victory for the men of Princeton, who came here 10,000 strong.

The game was one of the most remarkable in recent years. Princeton won, although outplayed in nearly everything that is laid down in football instruction books. The tigers had no defensive plays, but their defense was in some measure strong. On the other hand, with mud under foot Yale could neither rush for lack of foothold, speed up her end plays nor send her backs through holes tom in the Orange and Black lines. It seemed that everything.Yale attempted was spoiled by mud or a puddle of venter through which a man would slide.

Tile blue had the power, the plays and the football knowledge. Her plays, however, went wrong. The singularity of Princeton's position as victor is shown in the fact that except for the scoring play which followed an error the Orango and Black but once had the ball in her possession in Yale territory, and this wag in the last when she stood on the 61 yard line, Luck a part In the victory as It did In the Princeton game against Harvard a fortnight ago and against Dartmouth last Saturday. Once again Samuel B. White, left end, made Princeton's only touchdown by a run of 65 yards.

A similar run In the Harvard game contributed to that victory. score came early in the first period through a misplay. Yale had the ball on Princeton's 45 yard line when Captain Howe signalled the back to the right. The ball was sent back with no one to receive it. Dunn tried to fall on it, but failed, and White, picking It up, started for the Yale goal 65 yards away.

A few yards from the line Howe got White on a tackle about the legs. Both went down and slid five yards through the slime. White managed to wriggle over the line. Baker had no trouble in kicking goal. I score came In the second period.

On an off side play Yale received the ball on Princeton's 25 yard line. Howe kicked the field goal, otherwise the fourth he had attempted. The soggy ball and a brisk wind did much to make his efforts successful. Salt in the Beer From the London Chronicle. Some curious superstitions are gathered round even so eminently practical a thing as beer.

In Scotland It used to be the custom to throw a handful of salt and a little dry malt Into the mash to keep the witches from It, and the cautious house- I wife In houses where they brewed their own beer used to throw a live coal Into the vat to save the liquor from the frolicsome Interference of fairies. The addition of salt, by the way, to beer in the course of brewing was supposed to be for the unholy purpose of exciting thirst. It may possibly have been used to this end by the unscrupulous, but the real reason was legitimate. Salt moderates the fermentation and makes the liquor fine. Boiling Microbes From the- New York Tribune.

"The germ theory, thanks to the study of hygiene In the schools, Is familiar even to our children," said Dr. Charles T. Athens, president of Susquehanna university. In an address at Sellnsgrove.
