ON THE GRIDIRON, University and Freshman Teams Win Two Games Each, The University Eleven met a team from Brown University at the Yale Field on Wednesday, Oct 7 and won the game by the score of 18 to 0. The outcome of the game was somewhat of a surprise, as Brown was reported to have a very good team and it was thought that Yale would surely be scored against, if not defeated. The work of the home team both ecollective- ly and individually was vastly im- proved aver the showing. of the pre- vious week and Yale had no difficulty in opening up Brown’s line for succes- sive gains of five yards or more. Yale’s defensive work was alSo. very strong and Brown was forced to kick on many occasions and often lost ground on their plays. Brown’s only gains of importance were obtained by kicks, which by the way were not al- ways successful, while Yale forced her way behind the goal posts by means of steady hard rushes. The greatest improvement in Yale’s playing during the past week was shown in their team work, their strong and well formed interference and the general snap with which all plays were executed. As soon as the ball was put into play every one of the eleven Yale men started immediately and they worked together like machines. There was no mistaking of signals and very little fumbling. The line up of the two teams was as follows: YALWF 18. POSITION. BROWN 0.

Yale defeated the Orange Athletic Club at Orange Oval last Saturday by the score of 12 to 0, three touchdowns being . made. A crowd of over two thousand spectators were present, in- cluding a large number of Yale grad- uates. ; The work of the team on the whole was not of the highest order, fumbling being quite frequent and the interfer- ence often weak. Although three touchdowns were scored, no goals were kicked from them, this being partially excused by the wind, which was very strong. The rush line showed unexpected strength all through the same. Van Every and Rodgers did especially good work for Yale, and Maynard and Kyle for Orange. The line-up of the teams was as follows: YALE. POSITION.

FRESHMAN GAMES. The Freshman eleven defeated the Hartford High School on Wednesday, Oct. 7, by the score of 26 to 0. In the first half three touchdowns and one goal were made and in the Second half two ‘touchdowns and two goals. The best playing was done by Francis and Bell. The line-up was as follows: Left end, Scheppe, Kellogs; left tackle, Francis; left guard, Allen; cen- YALE ALUMNI eee en ee ——— ter, Hall; right guard, Leary, Wickes; right tackle, Bell; right end, Youngs, captain; quarterback, Sullivan; left halfback, Thorpe, Luce; right half- back, Corwin, Douglas; fullback, Brin- ley, Lindenberg. 1900 6, WORCESTER A. C., 9. The Freshman eleven played its first game in New Haven last Saturday against the team of the Worcester Ath- letic club. Not until the last part of the second half was either side able to score, when the Freshmen made th? only touchdown of the game. Brinley carried the ball across .the line and - Scheppe kicked goal. Luce and Brin- ley played the best game for Yale, while the work of Becton of Worces- ter was a feature of the game. The Yale Freshmen lined up as fol- lows: Scheppe, left end; McBride, left tackle; Marshall, left guard; Mi'ler, center; Francis, right guard; Bell, right tackle; Young, Hubble, right end; Winter, Sullivan, quarterback; Luce, lett halgback; Ehrich Phillips, Brin- ley, fullback. LR Ad Aa a The Yale Sound Money Club. The committees in charge of the Sound Money movement have met with a good deal of discouragement in their attempts both to perfect a marching organization so as to participate in any of the prominent parades at either New Haven or New York and also iin securing prominent speakers. It has been the unanimous wisSh of the stu- dents to hear either Mr. Reed, Mr. Depew or Mr. Bourke Cochran on the money question, but they have all been assigned to speak in the WeSt and can- mot arrange tto visit New Haven. Ar- rangements had been completed with the New York Republican county com- mittee for the. participation of the batallion in the big business men’s parade on Oct. 31st., but owing to the Faculty’s objection this has been given up. The rallies here at New Haven have also had to be postponed. from fear that student participation would do more harm than good, owing’ totive” Bryan incident on the Green. It seems at present as. if the committees in charge. would have to make a still eol- lege campaign. They are doing every- thing in their power, however, to see that students reSiding within a day’s ride of New Haven, go home to vote for sound money. The committees in charge of the Sound Money movement are composed of the following: Academic Department—L. M. Bas 97, G. .C. Brook ’97, E. Hill ’97, L. Hiin- key ’97. Scientific Department—J. D. P. Fran- cis ’°97, R. J. Grant ’97, T. M. Laughlin ris Law School—R. S. Baldwin H..T. albert .’95., —_—__—_+>—_—_ Resolutions of Yale Bryan Club. A meeting was held last Saturday evening of those interested in forming a Bryan and Sewell Club at Yale. Offi- cers were elected as follows: Gerald Hughes, ’97, of Denver, Col., Presi- dent; CG. H. Studinski, ’97, of Pueblo, Col., Secretary and TreaSurer. An Ex- ecutive Committee, consisting of the President, J. W. Bryan, ’97, and A. E. Jones, Jr., °99, was selected to take charge of the plans of the club. The treatment of the Hon. William Jen- nings Bryan at his recent visit to New Haven was discussed and the following resolutions were paSsed and unani- mously adopted by the club. Whereas, At the recent visit of Mr. Bryan to New Haven, certain members of Yale University did thoughtlessly and unfortunately interfere with the proceed- ings, and Whereas, Such action has unjustly been imputed by tthe press to the Yale students as a whole, Be it Resolved, That we, the members of the Bryan and Sewall Club of Yale University, do hereby condemn this ac- tion as untrue to the sentiments of our University, and hostile to the spirit of broad-mindedness which has always vharacterized Yale men, and that we tender to Mr. Bryan our sincerest apol- ogy for this action of some of our fel- ees ee ec and e. urther resolved, That a it: these resolutions be sent to Mr. Drak and to the press of the country, The newly formed Bryan and Sew- all Club will hold frequent meetings and endeavor to promote the cause of the Popocrats in the University. The members present numbered about 30. 95 and Vy toes INTERCOLLEGIATE TENNIS. Harvard Wins the Cup—Her Double Victory. The fifteenth annual Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament, which was held October 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10th, on the grounds of the New Haven Lawn club, resulted in victories for Harvard in both singles and doubles, thus giving her permanent possession of the $600 Intercollegiate cup. This trophy was first contested for in 1889. It’s value is greatly enhanced by the prominent names engraved among the list of winners. Three men who have had the national championship in singles, O. S. Campbell, Fred Hovey and R. D. Wrenn, as well as such noted players aS Larned, Malcom, Chace, I. A. Shaw, Foote and Budlong, have at one time or another won the trophy for a year. The cup was given on the condition that it should go to the college which first won seven points, first place in doubles, or singles each counting one point. Before the tournament this year, Harvard and Yale were tied with five points each. This fact gave the tournament an especial interest. - Yale’s representatives, C. P. Dodge 99, H. H. Hackett 1900, and R. Hooker *99, were all players of comparatively little experience, while Ware and Whitman of Harvard were men of na- tional reputation. Consequently Yale’s chief hope was that some other col- lege would prevent Harvard from w'n- ning more than one of the two greatly contested points. Budlonge of Brown was counted as the man most likely to fulfill these hopes. The tournament opened with a sur- prise. Driscoll from Georgetown uni- versity, a player little known in tthe East, but well known on the California coast defeated Budlong with ease in the first round. He thus became the unknown element in the tournament, and Yale had great hopes of his final success. The rest of the play was uneventful. All of Yale’s representatives were successful in their first round. Hooker succumbed to Whitman of Harvard after he had won: two matches. Dodge after beating Perry of Williams, Fos- ter of Harvard, and ‘Thompson of Princeton, in hard fought matches, met Whitman of Harvard in tthe semi- finals and was easily defeated. It was in this round that Driscoll of George- town surprised everybody again by beating Ware of Harvard in a beau- tifully fought match. Yale’s hones rose higher with this victory, and many thought that Whitman too would fall before the Westerner. The doubles had already been practi- cally won for Harvard, for her two teams were to meet in the finals. Dris- coll was the only man who stood be- tween Harvard and the cup. his ov- ponent being Whitman. Both men realized that the situation was criti- cal, and the audience was prepared for a hard fight. But Driscoll had been weakened by his six davs’ trip across the continent, and a week of hard playing. The night before the fina's he was so ill as to require a nhy- Sician’s attendance. This in part ac- counted for the fact that Whitman beat him with ease in three Straight sets; though it was the unanimous ver- . dict that Whitman would have out- plaved him, even had Driscoll heen at his best. In the doubles Ware and Scudder of Harvard met Whitman and Forbes also of Harvard, and succeeded in beating them onlv after a prolonged five set match. The Second prize in singles was won by Neely of Cornell, and the sec- ond fin doubles went to Hooker and Noyes of Yale by default. A meeting of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association was held during the tournament, Thompson of Prince- ton was elected President for the ecom- ing vear; Ware of Harvard. vice president, and Dodge of Yale, secre- tary and treasurer. StenS have been taken itowards raising funds for the purchase of a new cup by a joint sub- scription of the colleges. — 0 Freshman Football Captain.

[Mr. Bromley in New York Tribune.] Professor Sumner, of Yale, being, as we shall presently show, at his last gasp, and presumably in a mood of humility and contrition, has made public through “The Yale Alumni Weekly” a letter written to him by Mr. George P. Dier, of Bozeman, Mont., in reply to, or rather in con- sequence of, the Professor’s recent ar- ticle in ‘‘The Chautauquan.’’ We con- fess that we do not know Mr. MDier, thereby doubtless arguing ourselves unknown, but he is obviously an ex- tremely resolute and confident de- fender of the faith delivered to the American people by the Chicago Con- vention. Mr. Dier wastes no time in embroidering’ his epistle, but gets right down to business with a volley of re- sounding Don’t-you-knows, of which the following is a--sample: ‘*‘Don’t you know that if the Government, un- der unlimited free coinage of silver, 16 to 1, hought silver bullion at $1.29 per ounce, that the price could not go below the mint price?” Now, if Mr. Dier had merely discharged this fusil- lade and stopped, leaving its hideous effect upon the Professor to the im- agination, he would, perhaps, have done all that could reasonably be de- ‘manded in the interest of Mr. Bryan. But Mr. Dier is not that sort of war- rior. He realized that the Professor, though terribly disfigured, might pos- sibly succeed in crawling away. And so he followed up his broadside and put the wretched man beyond human help with this deadly thrust: “I am astonished that such an _ arrogant jackass as your article would indi- cate you are can occupy a chair in a college like Yale.” If Mr. TDier were nct as modest as he is valiant, he would not have made the pretence of thus addressing a liv- ing man in the present tense. For Professor Sumner is to all intents and purposes 2 goner. Mr. Dier has fin- ‘ished him. The only place he is now qualified to occupy is a grave in the New Haven Cemetery, and the Yale students’ devilish protest against Mr. Brvan’s announcement that they were being educated on the ill-gotten gains of their fathers has been triumphantly avenged. pO ids seen aE” AP ea ae Athletic Calendar.
