HARVARD 10—PENN. 0.
Yale Men Who Saw the Game Be-
lieve Their Team Has a Chance,
Cambridge, Nov. 8—Harvard de-
feated the University of Pennsylvania,
Saturday, Noy. 5;-0n Soldiers Field by
the score of Io to 0, in a clean and
interesting football game, and were
cheered along by a crowd of fifteen
thousand spectators. The defeat was
an unexpected one for the visitors, as
they had come to believe the guards
back formation was irresistible in its
ground-gaining qualities, and the long
list of victories, including four straight
from Harvard, in which it played an
important part, gave their belief much
weight. Few teams had stopped it be-
fore even temporarily, but the Crimson
threw it back time and time again
without a gain and tired out the Penn-
sylvania men through superior physical
condition.

TUTOR IN ENGLISH.
Harvard won her first touchdown by
an immediate acceptance of an oppor-
tunity that rarely presents itself in a
championship game On the opening
kick-off by Haughton, Coombs, stand-
ing on Pennsylvania’s 15 yard line, fum-
bled the ball. He was blocked from
falling on it by Hallowell, and Donald,
the speedy tackle, who had come down
the field like the wind, seized the ball
and carried it over the line for a touch-
down within 15 seconds of the begin-
ning of the game. Pennsylvania’s
savage assaults to retrieve herself were
met coolly by the Harvard forwards
aided by the backs, and though Harvard
was forced well down in her own

ground, Haughton relieved the situa-
tion when the ball changed hands, thus
keeping the play well away from Har-
vard’s goal. Pennsylvania made an
unsuccessful try at a goal from the
scrimmage on Harvard’s 15 yard line.
In the second half Harvard played a
kicking game,,and so admirably did
Haughton place his punts that each
exchange yielded Harvard large gains.
Pennsylvania was extremely weak in
the back field and muffed and lost the
ball frequently, so that the game went
from her side of the field only a few
times and she had but little chance
to score. Harvard last five points were
made by Burdett on a place-kick from
Pennsylvania’s 4o-yard line. When time
was called Harvard had the ball on
their demoralized opponents’ tI-yard
line.
The opinions of many Yale men who
watched the play seem to be that Yale
has a chance to win on the 19th because
Haughton will meet his match in Mc-
Bride in a kicking game, and the Har-
vard forwards will find the Yale line
stiffer than that of Pennsylvania.

Obituary.
JUDGE S. A. YORK, ’63.
Judge Samuel A. York died on
November 5 at his residence, 139 Ed-
wards street, New Haven, Conn. His
death was very sudden, and was due to
a hemorrhage of the stomach.
Judge York was born in_ North
Stonington, Conn., in 1839. He pre-
pared for college at the Suffield Acad-
emy, and in 1859 entered Yale College,
graduating with honors in 1863. While
in College he did considerable tutoring,
in order to defray his expenses. His
graduation was at the time of the Civil
War, so he entered the United States
army at Chattanooga, where he occu-
pied a position in the quartermaster’s
department. Before the close of the
war he left the army in order to study
Law at the Albany Law School, and
after getting his degree he entered the
law office of Judge Breeze, Kalamazoo,
Mich. While practicing Law in that
place he married Miss Helen Osborn,
the daughter of the late M. A. Osborn,
of New Haven. At the request of his
father-in-law Judge York came to New
Haven, where he was engaged in edi-
torial work for the Register.
In 1874 he became interested in poli-
tics, and was clerk of the State Senate
and clerk of the House of Represen-
tatives. The following year Judge York
left the newspaper field and formed a
partnership for the practice of Law
with William C. Case, but the partner-
ship lasted only a short time.
From, 1877 to 1887 Judge York served
as Judge of the Probate Court. He
was elected Mayor of New Haven in
1886 by the Democratic party, and
served two years, but was defeated by
Henry F. Peck in the next campaign
and retired from public life.
Judge York leaves a widow, Mrs.
Helen Osborn York, and four children:
Samuel A. York, Jr.; Miss Ella York;
Miss Helen York; and Palmer York.

from melancholia.
Mr. May was born in: North Brook-
field, Mass., December 26th, 1862. He
prepared for College at Cushing Acad-
emy, South Ashburnham, Mass., and
entered Yale, graduating in the Class of
Fighty-Seven. He was engaged in
newspaper work in Springfield for
several years after his graduation, where
he was a favorite. He then went to
Boston and became an editorial writer
on the Boston Advertiser and a con-
tributor to the New York Sun. He
leaves a widow and three small children,
a girl and two boys.
JOSEPH POTTS LLOYD, ’OI.
Joseph Potts Lloyd, ’o1, died from the
effects of an operation for appendicitis
on October 25, in the the Post-Grad-
uate Hospital of New York. He was
born in East Orange in 1868, and pre-
pared for Yale College in the Newark
Academy. While at Yale he did well
both in athletics and in his studies,
eraduating with high honors in_18oI.
In 1892 he entered the firm of Lloyd
and Company, and was admitted to the
Stock Exchange on March 5, 1806.
Mr. Lloyd married Miss Edith Jones
of East Orange in 1896, and she sur-
vives him. They had no children.
HENRY M. KIDD, 792.
A committee appointed by the Mili-
tary Order of the Loyal Legion of the
United States have compiled the follow-
ing report of the life of the late Henry
M. Kidd, ’o2: :
Henry Martindale Kidd, son of First
Lieutenant William Kidd, Company E,
44th Regiment, N. Y. S. Vols., and.
grandson of the late Major General
John Henry Martindale, U. S. Vols., of
Rochester, N. Y., was born November
12th, 1871.
OF HAMILTON PLACE
BOSTON.
He attended the Boys’ Academy in
Albany, N. Y., for four years, and after
a year and a half in Europe with his
parents, went to St. Paul’s School, Con-
cord, _H., where he remained five
years. At the age of sixteen he entered
Yale University, and was graduated
with the Class of Ninety-Two. In both
school and College he was prominent in
athletics, while his class standing was
always good. Mr. Kidd studied law in
the office of Charles J. Buchanan, of
Albany, N. Y., and was graduated from
the Albany Law School in 1894. After
being admitted to the bar he removed
to Buffalo, N. Y., and entered the law
office of McMillan, Gluck, Pooley &
Depew. In 1895 he started an office for
himself. Subsequently he decided to
relinquish the practice of law and culti-
vate his voice, which had been pro-
nounced by competent critics abroad
to be of unusual power and quality.
After nearly two years’ study in Lon-
don and Paris, Mr. Kidd came home for
a few weeks’ vacation, and was return-
ing to Paris to resume his work there,
when he met his death on board the
steamship La Bourgogne, which was
sunk at sea, off Cape Sable Island, July
4th, 1898, after collision with the Eng-
lish ship Cromartyshire. His most
marked characteristics were a broad in-
telligence and sturdy integrity, com-
bined with a warm, generous heart.

A PIANO AT A NOMINAL PRICE.
Chicago’s largest music house, Lyon & Healy,
have bought for a fraction of its cost the
entire stock of Lyon, Potter & Co. These
splendid pianos are offered without reserve
until all are sold. In this stock are a number
new Steinway pianos, and hundreds of new
and second-hand pianos including instruments
of the following well-known makes: Sterling,
Huntington, <A. B. Chase, Vose, Fischer,
Weber, Chickering, G. W. Lyon, etc., etc. In
square pianos there are fine-toned instruments
at $25, $40, $60, and upwards. In Upright
Pianos neat instruments at $100, $120, $140,
$150, $165, $190, $200 and upwards. In Baby
Grands some nice specimens at $250 and up-
wards. Nearly all these pianos were intended
to sell for at least double these clearing-sale
prices. A good plan would be to order a piano,
leaving the selection of it to Lyon & Healy.
However they will send a list and full particu-
lars upon application. Any piano not proving
entirely satisfactory may be returned at their
expense. Address simply, Lyon & Healy,
‘Chicago. Distance is no obstacle in taking
advantage of this remarkable chance to ob-
tain a piano, for in proportion to the saving to
be made the freight charges are insignificant.
