Penn 1 sylvania’s game showed much improve ment in dash and offensive play over the game with the Cadets on Wednes- day. The Yale Youngsters opened their football season at the Yale field Satur- day afternoon with the Worcester Ath- letic club team. The game was hotly contested from start to finish and the freshmen barely won out by the score of to 0. The Worcester men were a heavier set, and found the Yale center easy. Princeton defeated Lehigh at football at Princeton Saturday by a score of 16 to 0. It was practically the first game of the season for the visitors, and they made a very good showing against the Tigers. | The Western Reserve university s football team received a crushing de- | feat at the hands of Cornell Saturday at Ithaca, the final score being: Cor nell, AS; Western Reserve, 0. The game was decidedly one-sided all the way | through. The Manhattan college football elev- en defeated the New Jersey Athletic club team at Manhattan Oval Saturday afternoon in a one-sided contest by the score of 10 to 0. TENNIS. I | Ware and Scudder took the final match in the Intercollegiate tennis tournament here Saturday afternoon at the Lawn club grounds. Five sets were necessary to defeat Whitman and Forbes, the scores standing ,3-6, 6–⁠3, 6–⁠8, 9–⁠7 and 6–⁠1. Whitman and Forbes played a steady game, and six times were within three points of the match, and three times within two points. l Ware and Scudder were cratic, but made a brilliant and successful finish. Ware went to pieces in the middle of the match, and hit continually into the net The third and fourth sets were the best exhibitions of tennis given here during the tournament. Ware re- gained his form in the fourth, and, with Scudder, had Whitman and Forbes at his mercy in the last set. This victory gives Harvard permanetly the three hundred dollar grand trophy club played for twelve years in inter- collegiate tournaments.

  SHUT OUT GRINnELL UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL TEAM Sur PRIsEs IT’S FRIENDS WITH ITS GOOD WORK. PLAYED A SCIENTIFIC GAME, NEVER uyT ONCE BEING IN DANGER OF ALLOWING AN OPPOSING SCORE. STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE NIL, Denominations BeinE Formed for the Team for the se”s”h of ’00. Tho University of Minnesota yesterdav formally opened its football season in a hard fought game against iowa college. Grinnell, To-, and by score VI 70 TO regained the supremacy winch was lost in last years game. Ever since Minnesota has punted the nigskin at all. a game with Grinneii has t,een the first upon the schedule and never have the Gophers had an easv lob on their hands. The game Yesterday was in many respects ‘lie hest vet played between the TWO ms tutions. and at least during the latter half rose to the dignity or sclehlllic contest. In weight neither sue appeared to have much the adVaAiase, and the score is a fair test OF the sSlli of the elevens Only one man was car ried from the field for dead, although some changes were made between the halves. The day was unpropitious for any outdoor snort. Throughout the time or playing a drenching mist was 1alllng’ and the grounds were not only snip merry hut had pools of water standing about into which the players were Obliged to fall. 1t was, however, “horse and” no worse for one size than the other. Considering the pao condition of the grounds, there was very little fumbling of the ball, but the result was slow playing on poth sides. Had the field been in good condition. the game would have been q frst-class exhibition. A large audience had come out to see the sport. 1t was not composed entireIv of varsity students; in fact the fair coed, usually so conspicuous at football game, was almost entirely wanting. The audience included many professional men Cf the city, some OF whom no doubt had in times past pIaved the game themselves. Not less than 1000 people were present, one hleacher and a third Of the grand stand being packed full. The arrangement OIL the field is far from good for the purpose of a football game. The audience except at the end of the bleacher, Is obliged to look at the game from the corner of the field, and it is impossible to distinguish the players, or even TO tell the ground made or lost. The crowd was. however, enthusiastic, and the discordant sounds of tin horns and similar musical instruments were aug mented by the frequent “Ski-U Mans of the spectators Every good play on the part of the home team was loudly appIauded, and the crowd appeared we’ll pleased at the final score. THE FIRST HALF of the game was unexciting, neither side making any points. There was considerable kicking by both teams, In which, however, Grinnell had the advantage. When it came to lineup, Minnesota seemed to be a little better off. but with one exception, no long gains were made. The men were slow, as though sparring for wind. During this half the ball was in Minnesota territory more than on the ground of her opponents, and once or twice 1t looked as If Iowa would cross the goal line The half closed with the ball not far from the Iowa line. In the second half the home team seemed to have discovered what they were on the field for-to play football. They went to work, played hard and fast This was like old times, when Madigan ran things for Minnesota. The Grinnell men kicked off, but it was only a short time before the ball was going the other way. This half there was little kicking, and when Minnesota had the ball, there was rapid prodding, and good gains made. Harding never failed to pillow his way through the entire opposing line, and it wasn’t his fault if the ball did not follow him. Finlayson also i A1.s. To this year is stronger than ever before without any doubt. Back of the line there is chance for improvement, but the men are for the most part new. But the one point in which Minnesota could also hope for victory was in fast playing. Fast playing without mistakes is the science of the game. The team playing yesterday was good for the first game of the season. and it IS 1air TO say that the boys line up better at this season of the year than last year. The two touchdowns were made in close succession, and both were won by hard work. When near the Iowa goal the first time the ball went to the opposing side on fourth down, which looked as If the locals were not to score, but few hard rushes did the business. The half ended with the ball In Minnesota territory and not far from the goal line. Iowa was doing her prettiest to score, but it didn’t seem TO be in her star. AS whole the game was interesting, and was played in a gentlemenly man ner entirely. Only one foul tackle was seen, which was unintentional and there was no knee or elbow work Min nesota did no offside playing, which in some Of her hadest games has caused so much encouragement. The team promises some fine games for the sea- SON ON THE GRIDIRON ORANGE, N. j.. Oct. 10-Yale defeated the Orange Athletic club eleven this after foon by score of u to O. PHILADELPHIA, Oct.
