frequently very strong interference for
the runner, but not always, and a num-
ber of well-started plays were badly
and rather easily smashed. One of the
most encouraging signs of better things
ahead was the speed of the defensive
plays. Chadwick, Keene, and Sharpe,
who replaced the former in the second
half, were on their toes and played a
splendid game with scarcely any fum-
bling. Capt. McBride but twice failed
to gain when called upon and his long
well-placed punts, which overtopped
those of his competitor, usually by about
20 yards, saved his backs long distances
of hord pounding against the line.
Fincke ran the team with excellent judg-
ment, tackled hard and sure and handled
kicks on the defensive cleanly. The line
men, man for man, outplayed their op-
posites, but Cunha at center and Olcott
at right guard often showed themselves
unsteady.
West Point is undoubtedly weak this
season, probably weaker than for four
years past, and only occasionally were
they able to hold Yale’s mass _ plays.
Their best stand was on their 5-yard
line near the close of the first half,
when McBride could not make the
necessary two feet. As the game pro-
gressed, a striking ditference in the con-
dition of the two teams was seen, for
West Point had over fifteen minutes
taken out because of injuries while Yale
had less than two deducted for a simi-
Jar cause in the two halves.
HOW THE TOUCHDOWNS WERE MADE.
The game began at 3.15. After
several exchanges of punts Yale got
the ball on West Point’s 4o-yard line
and in five plays had carried it 25 yards,
but the charge fell off in speed and West
Point took the ball on downs on her
11-yard line. Dougherty punted poorly
and it was Yale’s ball near the center
of the field. Chadwick, Keene, Hale,
McBride and Francis began operations
and in eight rushes, which West Point
seemed entirely unable to break up, car-
ried the ball across. Hale made the
touchdown 7% minutes after play began,
and Brown kicked the goal.
After two exchanges of punts on the
next kick-off it was Yale’s ball on the
4o-yard line of West Point and by heavy
formation plays she soon had it 35 yards
further along, only to lose it on a fum-
ble when a touchdown seemed sure.
The whistle ended the half as Yale had
worked the ball. down from midfield
about half the distance to the goal.
EIGHTEEN POINTS IN SECOND HALF.
Mitchell was substituted for Gould
and Sharpe for Chadwick when the last
half began. West Point got the ball
for holding, on her 4o-yard line, and
on the next line-up sent Rockwell
around right end for the longest run
of the day. Francis threw him prettily
from behind... Thev could make no more
gains. Dougherty tried a kick, but
Sharpe broke through, blocked it with
his chest, and fell upon it. From here,
by well directed and swiftly moving
masses on the tackles, Yale worked the
ball to a touchdown by Sharpe. Brown
took the next kick-off and made a cork-
screw run of 20 yards before he was
brought down. After more punting and
a recovered fumble of West Point’s by
Olcott, Yale took up her march down
the field in bounds of from two to ten
yards, in which McBride and Sharpe did
a large part of the work. It was the
straightest sort of football, but very hard
and very fast, and West Point began to
go to pieces. Sharpe was finally pushed
through for the third touchdown and
Brown added another point with the
goal. |
Two minutes of the remaining five
were exhausted in punting exchanges,
in which Dupee, who had replaced Mc-
Bride, and Sharpe easily outkicked
Dougherty. Then the lines settled down
to work and West Point made a des-
perate effort to carry the ball. She made
the first down, her only one of the
game, and in the three succeeding plays
could do no better than a yard each.
Dupee punted to Dougherty on the West
Point’s 35-yard line, who, misjudging
his opponent’s driving force, was play-
ing too close to his line. The ball got
by him and went bounding down the
field. Snitzer, Yale’s left-end, who took
the place of Winter shortly before, was
coming like a race horse down the field
for his man, but sheered off when he
saw him miss, and chased the ball, catch-
ing it cleverly on a bound, without
slackening speed. He had a free field
and laid the ball behind the goal posts.
The decision of the referee that it was
a fair touchdown was disputed by West
Point, Dougherty claiming that he did
not get his hands on the ball. The play,
which was a pretty one on Snitzer’s part,
stood in spite of the protest, and the
score was Yale 24, West Point o.
The game ended « few minutes later
with the ball in m:dfield.

The Freshmen Eleven won their sec-
ond victory of the season Tuesday after-
noon, Oct. 31, by defeating Betts Acad-
emy in a welt-played game 5 points to o.
Up to this game the Freshmen had
practically no team work and were over-
whelmed in their first two matches, but
in the last four or five days there has
been much improvement. Two fifteen
minute: halves were played, in the first
of which R. Lyon made the only touch-
down of the game by a clean run around
left-end. The goal was missed.
Yale Freshmen, 24;
Scrub, 90.
The Freshmen showed considerable
Brown
improvement in their game last Satur-_
day at the Field, against the Brown
Scrub, and barring a few fumbles
which luckily were not costly the team
played well, scoring 24 points to Brown’s
o. Craighead punted while he was in
the game and had no trouble in out-
kicking Peaver. Long runs by Barn-
well gave two touchdowns in the first
half and two more were made by the
steady line bucking of the backs and
tackles in the second half. Craighead
kicked the four goals.

Harvard, 16; Pennsylvania, 0.
Harvard’s strong eleven scored 16
points against the University of Penn-
sylvania eleven, Saturday, Nov. 4, and
kept her own goal line clean. Penn-
~sylvania’s “guards-back” formation was
even less effective against the Harvard
line than it was last year, as the Cam-
bridge men had been trained in a style
of defense ugainst this play which was
almost perfect and reduced its gains to
a surprisingly small figure. In physical
condition Harvard was infinitely super-
ior to her competitor, and in the second
half made her gains so easily that sur-
prise was expressed that she did not
score more points. Most of Harvard's
gains were made by compact, swiftly
moving formations which Pennsylvania
could find no way to stop, but the ends
were also turned for many yards. Her
line was very strong on defense and
held for downs whenever there seemed
to be an imperative need for it, the par-
ticular stars being Ellis, fullback, and
Campbell and Hallowell at ends. The
game seemed to show plainly that Har-
vard has an evenly developed eleven,
very near to the top of its powers and
as strong, if rot stronger than when
she beat Yale last year 17 to 0.
After the game was done, Overfield,
the Pennsy!vania center, ran away with
the ball, which belonged by custom to
the victorious eleven, and for a few
minutes a serious squabble was threat-
ened. Trouble was fortunately averted
and Harvard carried off the ball. The
attendance was 20,000.

Princeton, 18; Brown, 6.
Princeton had no trouble in making
three touchdowns against Brown, Satur-
day, Nov. 4, and revealed the fact that
a phenomenal brace has been taken the
past week. The powerful line worked
well together, and the strength of the
backs in the running game astonished ©
those who saw the ragged exhibition
with Cornell a week before. Princeton
is undoubtedly very strong -—— much
stronger than she is given credit for, and
could probably hold her own with Har-
vard to-day. Brown’s scoring, though
good football in itself, was a_ fluke,
Richardson getting the ball on a fum-
ble on his own 5-yard line and carry-
ing it unmolested the length of the field,
almost an exact counterpart of Brown's
score against Yale a year ago on Yale
Field and Princeton’s scoring on Yale
by Poe’s run at Princeton last November.
Princeton’s first and second touchdowns
on Saturday were the result of line-
pounding of the fastest character, dur-
ing which the ball was carried 85 yards
and 30 respectively without losing. The
last scoring was by Hillebrand, who,
aided by good interference, ran 45 yards
through the Brown tacklers.

HARVARD WINS AT GOLF.
Yale Put Out by Princeton in First
Day’s Play.
The representatives of Yale, Harvard,
Princeton and Columbia gathered on the
links of the Garden City Golf Club on
Tuesday, October 24, to decide the
championships of the Intercollegiate
Golf Association and play was continued
throughout the week. The result in
both team: and individual play was
rather disastrous to Yale. Princeton
defeated the Yale team in the first day’s
play and although three Yale men qual-
- ified for the individual tournament none
reached the finals. Charles Hitchcock,
Jr., Yale 1903, represented Yale in the
semi-finals of this tournament, but he,
also, fell before the superior play of his
Princeton opponent, Percy R. Pyne, 2d,
by one up. The honors were equally
divided between Harvard and Princeton,
the former winning the team match,
while Pyne, who defeated Hitchcock,
secured the individual championship by
defeating Averill, Harvard, in a close
37 hole match.
In the team match which occupied the
first two days of the tournament, Yale
played Princeton while Harvard was
pitted against Columbia. The first day’s
play resulted in the defeat of Yale and
Columbia and Harvard won the cham-
pionship honors from Princeton on Wed-
nesday.
DETAILS OF THE PLAY.
The main cause of Princeton’s victory
over Yale was the evenness of the
strength of her players, every one of
English
Armorials.
These are altogether new things
in Neckties. The effect is very
rich, the dark colors and the
golden embroidery of crowns
and other trappings of royalty.
This embroidery is as beautiful
work of the kind as we have
ever seen.
We can,send samples.
Of course, there are all other
kinds of ties in our stock.

their men being nearly equal to the best.
The first pair to start off were Charles
Hitchcock, Jr., Yale 1003, and Percy
Pyne, 2d, of Princeton. They halved
the first hole in 5 and then Pyne cap-
tured the second and third in two 3s,
Hitchcock taking a pair of 4s. At the
ninth they were all square, each having
scored a 41; Pyne won the tenth, Hitch-
cock the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth,
which with a half at the fourteenth made
him 2 up and and 4 to play. Right here
Pyne did some phenomenal playing.
He began with a 4 at the 376-yard fif-
teenth hole, and did the sixteenth in the
same figure. Pyne did the seventeenth
in 5 to MHitchcock’s 6, making him
dormie. At the eighteenth tee Hitchcock
sclaffed his drive into the ravine and lost
any chance he had of making it a 19
hole match. The Princetonian won by
2 up.
The next Yale man, T. M. Robertson,
1901, was also defeated, his opponent
being Chester Griswold, Jr. Griswold
started out.at a terrific pace and had
Robertson 3 down on the first nine holes,
gaining the turn in 39 strokes. The
tenth and eleventh were divided and then
each won a hole. By halving the four-
teenth Griswold was 3 up and 4 to go.
Robertson braced for a moment and suc-
ceeded in capturing the fifteenth hole,
but lost the next two by some ragged
play. With a half in a par 3 on the
home hole Griswold was 4 up on the
match.
These two defeats were entirely un-
looked for, and when T. L. Cheney, Yale
IQOI, came in 2 down to John Stuart,
the match was practically decided. This
pair played very evenly until the eighth
tee was reached, but there Stuart se-
cured his lead of two. Although Cheney
fought pluckily to overcome his rival’s
lead in the homeward journey, Stuart
won a hole to each of his, although the
Yale man did the home course in three
less strokes.
F. C. Havemeyer, 1900, the next Yale
player to come in, brought some hope
of a victory by defeating his opponent,
J. Prentice Kellogg, by 4 up. He started
out with a poor 6 and the hole went to
Kellogg, but it was the last the Prince-
ton man took until the turn home. The
second was captured by Havemeyer
with a 3 and they halved the next.
Havemeyer had the next two, while the
sixth was divided in 4. By winning the
seventh the Yale man stood 3 up, which
was the score at the turn, as the eighth
and ninth were halved. Homeward
bound, Havemeyer added another hole
so that at the eighteenth he was 4 up.
-E. M. Byers, Yale 1901, clearly out-
classed his Princeton opponent, :
Cook, and finished 3 up. This made
Yale only 1 down and the result of the
match rested with L. P. Myers, Yale
1901 S., and W. Dahlgren of Princeton.
The latter played fine golf and won by
