POLLMDIA'S MIGHTY STAND WEEKS THE HERO OF ANOTHER WONDERFUL DIVE RUN FOR a TOUCHDOWN. YM.i. SLOW AT FIRST. RALLIES IN THE SECOND HALF AND WINS BY II TO 5- WILD ENTHUSIASM ON BOTH SIDES. With people Inside of Columbia Field ve'terday, and possibly half as many more perched on the lofty heights of Coogan's Bluff and the Viaduct, a scene was presented In the murky weather cf the afternoon seldom witnessed in that section of the city except when the iron of the football gridiron is hot.

It was the annual struggle between the fighting football forces of Yale and Columbia, and the result must be put down ns the surprise of the year go far. Yale won by 1- to after decidedly the most interesting gnme of the season. Columbia clearly outplayed Yale throughout the first half, and when the intermission arrived for the gridiron men to mend tIK-ir bruises Columbia had the lead by 5 to (I, and the thousands were up in the air, hardly knowing what to expect in the second cerJoi. The rale team, followed by fully five hundred loyal "rooters" from N. w-Haven.

came to the city determined to snow Columbia under by all sorts of fancy figures. None of them would consent to a score of leps than to 0, and the majority thought that to 0 or GO to 0 would be nearer the actual figures. Columbia, with an experimental team, had defeated Yule last year, and every son of old Eli was determined that that "disgrace" must be wiped off the tabulated list of football topicp. Harvard had trounced Columbia by '24 to I) at Cambridge, and old Pennsylvania had taken the local players into camp upon Franklin Field, at Philadelphia, by the undignified figures of 30 to Yale has not been to boast this year that her team was the best for many seasons. A strange reliance If placed on football scores at this time of the year, and every Yale enthusiast considered It the duty of Captain Brown to see to it that Colombia's ambition be pushed into the mud and kept there.

A CHILL DOWN YALE'S BACKBONE. And then the Yale contingent received such a fright as It has not had in many a day It was worse than last year, when Columbia won, because Yale had taken precautions this season that the mistake of 1889 should not be made again In 1900; When the two lined up it was seen thai the Yale line towered several Inches over the Columbia forwards. The heads of Olcott. Brown, Sheldon and Stillman were so much above the plucky Columbia line that pome rtf the spectators said it was a crying shame to see th little fellows swallowed up by such formidable foes. But there was a lot of bone and muscle in that Columbia column, and it was distributed sideways rather than straight up into the air.

Then. too. Columbia had pome smaller men back of the line, who were all fast and determined, and did not know what fear meant. They were as spry as marionettes on tlertric wires, and they were ready to plough irto that mountain of Yale flesh and muscle as soon as Captain Iforley directed the attack. The game had not advanced more than five minutes when whistles of surprise were heard in the section given over to the Yale followers.

Then the faster the war waged the better those spry ittle Columbia men fought, and the whistles' of surprise gave way to gloomy looks end finally faces paled with horror were seen In tht Yale section, for Columbia scored, and Yale had not even made anything like a bluff at doing But continued to yell and sing and shout. never rieserts her athletes as long as there If a living rhanre to turn the tide of possible defeat. The sons of old Eli are famous for that and they are never beaten until the game In the second half Yale's greater supj Y.cft tr.ld. and the Columbia forces were battered down and trampled under foot. It was a fierce battle while it lasted, and in nearly fvery scrimmage one or two Columbia men were ground as the mountain of flesh Btowty dissolved to permit the two elevens to line up for another clash.

Columbia fought to the end, but in that se. ond half the layers fairly ploughed up the damp turf, and it is doubtful if any reasonable team could have held them. They were likened to mad to desperation by taunts. imbia could not them. Yale this half, and the game ended lumbta, 5.

THE HOSTS AND THE PRETTY GIRLS. Columbia's hosts occupied benches on the north side of the field, where, under skilled leaders, the followers of the Blue and White filled the air with unusually good cheering. It was evident that careful preparation had been made to give the team the best possible support from the benches, for the college yell was interspersed with songs lusty and strong. The Yale contingent, perched in the covered stand near the elevated station, and. true to tradition, ktpt the air stirring.

Their breath was taken for a time when Weeks made his famous run for a touchdown, but the Dark Blue cohorts rallied well, and Captain Brown's men had no reason to complain of lack of support. The poor showing made by Yale in the first half even caused the pretty wearing bunches of violets to as Ist their disconsolate escorts in expressing sympathy and encouragement. The battle of voices, always a feature gridiron contests, grew fiercer as the game advanced. The female football world, at least that part lives in and around New-York, was out in force. The grandstand was brilliant with attired maids and matrons who wore the colors of the two colleges.

The excitement of the battle made their cheeks redden and their Bpai Many carried banners, and these were used when voices failed. The inspiration of these fair, sisters of Yale and Columbia was complete. WEEKS THE EARLY HERO. The game was waged fiercely from the mart, at 2Mi o'clock. Neither side had much of an advantage in the first ten minutes of play.

Columbia's work was the surprise, for as much as, the Yale men tried they found that the expected had been rejuvenated in gome Certerlous manner. Many were the glances of apprehension cast In the direction of Banford. It was even hinted that Banford had trained hie team to the hour Just for the benefit of Yale. Up to this time the Columbia backs had been outpunting the much heralded Hale, and this was Tale's first disagreeable surprise. Weeks, who made the sensational dive and run which defeated Yale last year, had not been called on to do much work, but the Yale line was watching him Just the same, determined that the hurdling ft-at of 18U9 should not be repeated.

But it was. and in even a more sensational manner. Columbia got the ball In the centre of the field, when little Sykes, the quarterback, gave the signal for Weeks to do his trick or forearmt after keep his peace. The ball came back to the fieetfooted runner low and fast, but big Bruce did not straighten up with the rest of the Columbia line. This was part of the play, and Weeks saw the scheme had worked.

to perfection. He came straight for the crouching Columbia centre at lightning speed. Week's right foot struck the centre squarely in the back, and as Bruce straightened up this move and momentum threw the flying halfback clear over the Yale line. Columbia's backs had made a bluff play toward Yale's left end, as the picture will show. Weeks had the chance of life.

When Weeks touched the ground after his flying leap, he was off for the Yale goal posts as if a vigilance committee were after him. Morley, Wright and Austin had followed him closely, and the astonished Yale supporters groaned. By the time the Yale men had recovered their equanimity Weeks was well on his way to the Yale goal. An occasional dark blue jacket or sweater menaced him, but they were hurled to one side by trie Columbia protectors, and Weeks deposited the hall back of Yale's line almost exactly as he did last year. Columbia's hosts went wild with Joy, and the overenthusiastic who had wagered two to one that Columbia would not score were beside themselves with rage.

The Columbia yelled until they were blue in the while the Yale followers gritted their teeth, turned pale and threw their violets and flags under foot to be trod upon in anger and. disgust. But the tokens of loyalty were quickly picked up, and Yale's temporary retreat was checked as if by magic. The college cry leaders ran out in front of the stands, and within a minute the Yale battle cry was sounding over the field with all its old fierceness. Yale's two touchdown in the second half were made straight, hard football, most of her "gains being made through the line, and practically nothing around the ends.

The teams played as follows: Yale (12) Columbia Gould Left end Wolff Hamlln Left tackle Coffin Brown (captain) guard Wright Olcott Centre Bruce. Sheldon Right Ueardsley Ptlllman Right tackle Smith Coy Right end Yon Uoeveatx rg Wear Quarterback.

Even the newspaper men who were there to report the game were sent to the stands. Columbia took the east and Yale the west goal. Brown kicked off for Yale and Morley brought the ball back ten yarde. After one attempt by Weeks for a sain through Yale's centre the hall went, back to Mori, for a punt The little Columbia captain did his work well, and the pigskin nailed down the field for nearly sixty yards. Wear got it on Yale's twenty-flve-yard line.

The playing was fierce for the next few minutes. Ohadwirk and Sharpe were sent into the Columbia line for short gains, but on the next play Hale punted. After two tries at Yale'? centre Morley was called on for another punt, and he sent the ball back to the -centre of the field. Yale tried left end. but Columbia held like a stone wall and a minute later Columbia took the ball on downs.

1 Morley and Weeks made short gains of from two to three yards when Moriey again punted, Yale running back the ball only five 'yards. Hale punted; 'after' ten minutes of play the ball was in the centre of the field, with neither side having made much of an impression. Scrimmage after scrimmage followed, In one of which Bypes wag laid out. Then Columbia gathered force for her star play by Weeks, and it went through cleanly, as already told. In the remainder of the half, try as she would, Yale could not shake off those Columbia tackles.

Weeks made another pretty run around Yale's left end for about twenty yards. The struggle was swift and interesting, and when the whistle blew for a breathing spell Yale had the ball on Columbia's forty yard line, with the local men lighting like tigers to maintain their advantage. THE SECOND HALF. Many thought that Yale bad used poor judgment In the first half, and whether she did or not the sons of Old Ell played a much better game In the STALE-COLUMBIA GAME. Weeks diving over iine in his famous run half.

The men back of the line moved faster and Yale's aggressiveness was much more conspicuous than it had been early in the game. With the beginning of the. second half the Columbia line began to waver, as might be expected against such weightier forces. The New-Haven men settled down to steady, straight football and surely but slowly forced the ball toward the Columbia line. At the ten yard line Columbia rallied and held the Yale nun for an instant.

Then the Vale backs were sent against the Columbia line like battering rams and the local men were compelled to give way. Hale was sent over for a touchdown at 4:15, and then kicked a goal, making the score 6 to 5 in favor of Yale. This. ga.ve a ring to the Yale cheering which made the blood tingle. After the line up Yale again pursued the same tactics and fought hack the Columbia forces.

One Yule man In tackling an opponent stepped on the bedy of a fallen Columbia foe. He was hissed roundly, and cries of "Put him out!" were heard on every hand. It was clearly an accident, and was forgotten a minute later. The Yale man was going at such speed that he could not deviate- from his course in time to avoid the accident. Yale now used her revolving wedge with effect.

Columbia fought back as best she could, but that Yale force was too much for the local men, and they were fairly carried backward. Brown was forced over for the second touchdown a few minutes before the game ended. Hale kicked the goal. Yale had won a mighty battle, but she was far from satisfied. WEST POINT.

6: WILLIAMS, 0. West Point. N. Oct. The West Point football team lined up this afternoon against Williams College, and West Point won by a score of 6 to 0.

Notwithstanding the small score the game was exciting from start to finish. In point of strength the respective teams were on an equal footing. The exchange of the ball from one side to the other was frequent, the opposing sides losing the pigskin on downs. In spite of a sloppy field there was almost a total absence of fumbling. Neither side scored in the first half, but within two minutes of the end of the last half Bunker went over the line by a rush for a touchdown, and Bettlson kicked an easy goal.

During the first half the ball was in West Point's territory nearly the whole time. In the second half It was Just the reverae. The ball once getting into a field, it remained there. The ball was within two yards of Williams'? goal line near the close of the last half and a block kick threw it Into West Point's i.andh which almost immediately resulted in a touchdown tor the' latter.

Oct. The Princeton football team defeated Brown this afternoon on Andrews Field by the score of 17 to in a fiercely fought contest. There were five thousand people present, the largest football crowd ever seen in Providence. The weather during the whole afternoon was drizzly and the sky dark with clouds, making play- ins "toward the of the game difficult. The game started at 3:10 p.

m. Brown kicked oft to who regained fifteen yards. On the next play Princeton punted to Barry, who carried the ball across Princeton's goal line by a sensational run from Brown's forty yard line.

27 The University of Pennsylvania football team literally smothered Chicago to-day on Franklin Field by the score of 41 to 0. Pennsylvania started things with a rush, and then never let tip until the referee blew his whistle for time at the close Of the second half. Chicago had two opportunities to score during the gamp, but failed to take advantage of either of tljem. On Chicago's first kickoff. Hare was downed on Pennsylvania's twenty yard line and fumbled the baH, and a Chicago man fell on It.

The Westerners tried to go through the line, but lost the hall on a fumble In the first play. In the second half Chicago tried for a goal from placement on the forty yard line, but missed goal. Pennsylvania made four touchdowns in the first half, and two touchdowns and a goal from placement in the second half. The only play which the Quakers used was the straight guards back, and this famous play 'never failed to net the required distance. Coaches Lewis and Deland, of Harvard, were present, and after the game expressed their admiration at the fine game of the Quakers.

Chicago made only three first downs throughout the game, and was never able to hold Pennsylvania for downs, though the Quakers were compelled to kick several times. Pennsylvania made her first touchdown in five minutes of play by the hard line bucking of McCrucken, Hare and Teas, and a short end run of Potter. For the ond touchdown Wallace, Hare anil McCraeken took turns in carrying the ball, McCraeken finally going over for the score. The remaining two touchdowns in this half were made by Hare and Wallace on plunges through the line. In the second half Chicago took a brace, and as a result the Quakers were able to add only two more touchdowns and a goal from placement.

Hare made one touchdown and kicked a goal from placement on the twenty-one yard line, while McCracken made the sixth touchdown. The feature of Pennsylvania's play was the magnificent work of Hare. MeCracken and Potter, Time and time again, both Hare and McCraeken would plunge through the line with three or four Chicago hanging to them. Graves at quarterback played a fine game, both in passing the ball and In punting and running back kicks. In the second half Potter was injured after making a forty yard run, anil had to be taken from the field.

Ithaca. X. Oct. Cornell defeated Dartmouth to-day by a score of 23 to 6. Cornell was sufficiently strong to score tljree times in the second half, but could not keep Dartmouth from a touchdown.

The visitors employed, their forwards In advancing the ball, and gained twentyfive yards in successive plays, until the leather was over the goal line. Cornell then woke up, and by quick and snappy work crossed Dartmouth's line twice. Morrison figured in a forty-yard run. which tilt Si in a touchdown, and Warner was fcffectlve in boring through the line for the final live points Cornell's defence, was weakened in the second half by the absence of Alexander from right tackle.

Cambridge. Oct. Harvard defeated the Carlisle Indians this afternoon by the score of 17 to 5. In one of the best games ever played on Soldiers' Field. From a spectator's point of view, the gamp was most exciting, as both teams tried many trick plays, and In most caisM these went off with smoothness of machinery.

The Indians swung their ends over on the r.ffence and at times nut theism whole team on one side of the centre, thus gaining a great advantage in their mass plays. Harvard's trick play.s were not so evident, as the only ones tried were the old fake kick, and the double pass. The Crimson did not show Its hand much, in view of the Pennsylvania game Saturday, but merely tried the Indians out by simple football, and then rushed them off their feet, when superior weight and better condition began to tell. The Indians scored in the flist ten minutes, after tWO of their attempts to place kicks had been blocked. Th.

Here the quarterback kick was worked perfectly, and Captain Rogers took the ball within three yards of the goal. On the next rush Palmer easily took it over. After the next klckofl the Indiana punted, and. getting the ball at once on downs, punted again to Harvard's ten yard line.

From here Stlllman gained twenty-five yards on a fake kick, and Daly added a like distance on a double Putnam then made two line dodging runs around end, and after a try at centre Paly brought the crowd to its feet by dropping a goal from the field from the thirty-five yard line. During the rest of the half the Indians outplayed Harvard, but could not score, owing to unlucky fumbles. Stlllman was clearly outdistanced in punting by Uedwater. who did the kicking for Carlisle, although Stillman got the ball away quicker. On return Daly made a fair catch, and Burnett tried a place kick from the fifty-eight yard line.

but was too hurried, and sent the ball far to one side. In the second half the Indians started off weH. but seen showed signs of exhaustion. There was a gieat deal of punting, and the Indians Were gradually worn out by the fast game. Once they got the ball on Harvard's thirty-five yard line, hut could not gain, although Harvard had not once held them for downs in the first half.

After an exchange of punts Kernan broke cleanly through left tackle, aided by the best interference from Daly. Rlstlne and. Barnar4rran seventy yards ior a touchdown. With only a few minutes left to play. Harvard put in some fresh men, and Swan made two good gains of twenty and thirty yards between left end and tackle.

Harvard then lost the ball on a fumble, but Bowditen blocked a kick of Redwater's and secured the ball again. Wheelock, Who had been doing yeoman service in the line. then laid out. and In four plays Harvard rushed the Indiana off their feet and scored the last touchdown. J.

Lawrence easily kicked both goals. The Harvard line showed a remarkable Improvement, though outplayed in the first part of the game. The ends were disappointing, but had to face many new plays, and therefore are partly excusable! Daly showed himself absolutely tireless, and used gooa generalship throughout the game The Indians, on the other hind, depended almost exclusively on their coach, who stood on the side lines, and signalled the plays to them. The Harvard backs did unusually well, considering the number of substitutes who played, and the whole eleven showed good team work, and played the best game they knew all through the game. With such decided Improvement after four days of secret practice, the team should be ready to put up a good fight against Pennsylvania, after another whole week of the same vigorous and beneficial training.

The field was slippery, owing to a light drizzling rain, which set in about noon but the ground was not much. Fully 20.000 people were present. The line up: Harvard Carlisle Indians. Campbell (Bowdltch). end 0 er Eaton Left tackle Wheel Ijgf.
