8 TIE GAME FOR I. Y. U. WESLEYAN OUTPLAYED. lAght Local Team Surprises Visitors, Who Are Lucky to Escape Defeat.

RESULTS OF FOOTBALL GAMES YESTERDAY. Tork Vnivrnitr. IVcsleran Fordbsm Georgetown 0 9 Franklin and Marshall 0 IV MM I Harris Hall 0 Poly Prep HI Bo." ul rrannns Comrnerclal Hlirti nf 3 Monif Tiisb New York University and played fifty minutes of the hardest sort of football to a score- tie yesterday afternoon on Ohio Field before the biggest crowd that has watched a game on University Heights in a lone: time. Rattling footha 1 marked the whole same, with clean play from Ftart to laaaa. plenty of polished kicking, and as pretty a use of the forward pass as any game between teams has shown since the revision of the roles.

New York was outweighed nearly thirty pounds to the man. but Hermann Olcott has put so much snap and dash into a team that had grit enough to start with for any team that the 'heavier lads from Middlctown were rushed off their feet. They were lucky to escape Meat, and Bosey Rciter. "Wesleyan's coach, who expected some good practice, said as much after the game. Wesleyan made its distance or, straight football twice in and a forward pass and an onside.

kick, both well worked, accounted for the other times the visitors made a rirst down. Thrills came la plenty in the second half, when New York's goal seriously threatened for the only time in the gaaaa. Wesleyan got the ball lucidly on a fumble, and, displaying the only concentrated attack that appeared in its play in the game, made twenty yards in three plays through the line. The New Yorkers braced then, and a forward pass tried on the third down. It was tried from a kick formation, and was a long affair Risky as the play was, it worked to perfection, find pave Wtsleyan the ball on the line.

With five thousand throats yelling at it to hold, New York team dug- its toes into the turf. took a long breath and waited the onslaught. There was a desperate moment of fighting, but It was over the ball was on the 3-yard line, and the New York rooters groaned. Only for a Swift and hard the next play was shot at centre, but it lost a yard, a.nd on the next play "Wheeler and Auffant. who had been playing a great for New York, tsormed through and dropped Karraari.

We.tleyan's quarterback, before he could pass the balL In the very shadow of the posts, Newins, New York's Quarterback, who played a brilliant and a heady cams, took a long chance and shot a play lit centre while the Wesleyan backs looked for a Idek. Boldness was rewarded, and the play was Rood for a dozen yards. The game was a surprising demonstration a of how minor teams have taken to the revised rules, which were devised so largely for their benefit. Forward passes and onside kicks were used frequently and with good effect, particularly by New York, which was lucky in having as frood a pair of ends as Crawford and Captain Younjr. Both played a fine frame on kicks, and put the Wesleyan line of primary defence out of many a play at the ends and tackles.

They were swift in diagnosing plays, too, neither showing the hesitation lr going through the Interference, and made many a tackle behind the line of scrimmage From tackle to tackle the New York line was by thirty pounds to a man, but the light forwards of the local team were on their toes all tha time, and broke through time and again. had a fine, punter in Fhepperd, but he had wretched protection on his kicks from his big forwards, and many a punt would have been blocked had it not been liar his own fine work. Wealeyaa had a pood secondary defence, and her forwards showed some ability at times on the defence, which was all that a. score. New York pained on kicks, for her backs were much better in handling runts.

New York hrr warmest friends at very atari of the game by forcing Wejileyan to kick Immediately, and then started a rush down the field that looked irresistible. But an onside kick went WIWBB well down in Wesleyan territory, and Shepperd punted finely into New York's part of the Held. Again a touchdown was in sight, but this time, after card rushing had taken the hall to the 30-yard line. Captain Young dropped the ball after catching it an a forward pass on 15-yard line. That was New York's best chance to pcore, though the ball was in aTialliail territory all the rest of the half.

lash of pood form came In the half, bfit it did not last long. Fumbles lost lot of ground for New York, and finally gave "Wesleyan ball on the home team's 45-yard line. Harrnan tore off a quarterback run for the second first down Wesleyan bad made in the whole game, and two smashes yielded another. Then the New Tork line held firm, and Moore mad-- a long forward pass from a kick formation, on a play similar to the one used by Yale In the big games last year. That put the ball on the 10-yard line.

But three rrnashts left the hall still yards from a touchdown. and tho crowd went crazy. Newins rtruck while the iron was hot, driving A. roans; through centre for a dozen yards, and New York rushed the ball to the 50-yard line without a halt, using one pretty forward pass on the way before en onside kick gsv. ball to Wesleyan.

It was nip and tuck in the middle of the field after that until the game ended, when Wesleyan had ball In the middle of the gridiron. and Union played a scoreless tie game few ago, which has added Interest in view of the fact that New York and Union meet here a week from Saturday in the season's most important game for each eleven. Bosey Reiter, Wesleyan's coach, said after the game that New York should beat Union by about one touchdown if the team played as it did yesterday. The summary follows New Tork (0). Positions.

Foly Prep, of Brooklyn, beat the Boys' High School, of the same borough, by a score of 12 to 0 in a hard fought football game at Washington Park yesterday afternoon, the High School boys refusing to acknowledge themselves beaten until Hie whistle had blown for the last time. The winners started with a rush, after getting the ball on a fumble soon after the kick-off, and scored a touchdown by hard line bucking.

They got a scare after the next kick-off, however, for Boys' High cut loose a varied attack that hard to stop, and the Poly Prep team was forced back to its 10-yard line before it got the ball on downs. That was the High School's only chance to score, however, and Poly Prep soon worked the ball out of danger. Poly Prep's second touchdown came Just before the end of the game, when Dessart shot through tackle for fifteen yards and made the score. The summary follows: Poly Prep. (12) Position.

Fast Drill at Yale Princeton to Play Oldtime Eleven. Telegraph to Tribune. 1 New Haven. Nov. The Yale football coaches sent out the 'varsity eleven afternoon with ten of the men who will face Harvard and Princeton together for the first time.

Naedele was back at right end. Murphy ran the eleven at quarterback for the entire practice, and the only absentee was Kllpatrick, who Jogged along behind the play. The freshmen were called over from their grid- Iron to give the regulars a stiff twenty-five mirutes' practice drill, and the second eleven was then lined up against the "varsity for ten minutes. The period against the freshmen was secret, but it was learned that the 'varsity scored three touchdowns in quick succession. Coy taking the ball for the final plunge in every case.

In the open practice against the second team the wearied regulars were unable to score. Satisfaction was expressed this evening by the coaches on the work of the 'varsity. Murphy's ability to withstand th" heavy scrimmage was welcome, and there is no doubt that he will now play quarterback. The practice, incidentally, gave freshmen a fine drill for the game with the Princeton cubs on Saturday. Telegraph to The Tribune.

1 Princeton. N. Nov. 3. Bill Edwards's championship team of 1599 will line up against the varsity to-morrow in what promises to be an Interesting game if nothing more.

The ex-captain has announced the following line-up for the game: Booth: guards, Edwards and Mills; tackles, Hillebrand and Pell; ends, Arthur Poe and Palmer; quarterback. Burke; halves, kfoOocd and possibly Bosey Reiter; fullback. Wheeler. Five more coaches reported to-day. They were Phil King.

'93: Alexander Moffatt. "90: Mike Bergen. '92; Walter Foulke. '05, and Walter Daub, '07. The coaches sprang a surprise to-day by playing Cunningham at quarterback.

This move looks like a pood one. Cunningham is a valuable man as a drop kicker, is a fast, heady player, handles punts well and knows football from A to Z. If Captain rMUon cannot last In the Yale game, Cunningham seems to be just the man for his placi The practice to-day was pretty much a repetition of yesterday's. The Brat half was a secret scrimrrage between the 'varsity and scrub. In which the former scored one touchdown.

After the gates were opened the first team, with many substitutions, played short game with the freshmen, in which the score was 6 to 5. Pfei scored for first and Christlf- for the freshmen on a 45-yard run from a blocked kick. TMasrapla to The anabridge, Nov. -The task now before the Harvard coaches is to develop a pair of guards and a suitable punter. Practice was secret in the stadium this afternoon, and all of the 'varsity players were out with.

Long, Brilliant Runs Bring About Defeat of Georgetown. Fordham defeated Georgetown In Snutes Georgetown force.l th.

much show of consistent ground Appeared to have the better of the jrame. but when the Fordh-m players Of scored a touchdown after a brilliant run of twenty-five yards the final outcome was never in doubt. The players' from Washington a brave and determined struggle against gradual 7 increasing odds, and at one had Fordbam In close quarters, but their chances of much less winning, were always too remote to be wort.i mentioning. Fordham had the more finished eleven, better coached In the rudiments as well the finer points of football, and better trained for a gruelling struggle. This tells the story of an easy victory for the home team in a game, however, thzt was interesting from end to end and marked by several spectacular runs and many exciting moments.

A good sized crowd of fully three thousand persons took advantage of the holiday and perfect fall weather to see the game, and went home well repaid. The concerted cheering which marks most college games was lacking, but there was plenty of noise and a world of enthusiasm by the followers of the Fordham team. Gargan. the Fordham quarterback, who. by the way.

played a fast, heady game, depended for his gain on open play, as the Georgetown line was fairly strong from tackle to tackle. White and Geary were called on for quick dashes around the ends, and both were able to shine, partly through their speed, fair interference and clever dodging. and partly because the Georgetown players tackled too high In most cases to be effective in bringing down the runn-T. Forward passes, one of which resulted In a touchdown, and eawfcla kicks were also used to advantage by Gargan, who by thus varying his play completely mystified the Georgetown forwards. The Fordham defence was strong enough to cope with any assaults directed against It, particularly in the second line, and Georgetown could not gain consistently by rushing, and only once threatened momentary danger, when Shea got away on a fake kick formation for a 45-yard run Just before the end of the first half- Shea, by the way.

was about the. only player in visitors' who could be depended on for a gain. The punting: on both was poor, due partly to a strong wind. Fordham won the toss and kicked off. but Coffey's effort was so poor that the ball dribbled along the ground for hardly more than twenty yards.

Georgetown then tested the Fordham defence and found it strong, and, failing to gain, punted, and for the next ten minutes the fight was waged in the centre of the field, with the visitors having the better of it Finally, however. Captain Fitzpatrlck infused a little life in his team and Gargan suddenly broke away on a double pass for a pretty dash of thirty-flve yards around Georgetown's Ml end. carrying the ball to the 25-yard line. On thenext play White took the ball and. after feinting at rjght end.

ducked and dodged his way through the- whole Georgetown team and crossed the lino for the first touchdown. Geary failed at goal and the score was 5 to 0. Soon the next kick-off Georgetown got possession of the hall near the centre of the field, and then lost forty-five yards in three plays as a penalty for holding.
