  KNIGHTS OF THE CR|D|RON Desperate Battle Between Penn sylvania and Chicago Resulted in a Tie. HARVARD AND CARLISLE in Disposing OF the Indians at Cam bridge-Columoia Won From Yale in a Great Contese-Cornell Took Vic tory From Princeton by a Score OF s to O. chicago, oct So.--l ne loolodi eieNoAi of the University Of Pennsylvania barely escaped defeat at the hands q the University Of Chicago in game in which the desperate playing has seldom been equaled. The final score was tie, both sides scoring touch down in the second half and neither kicking against It. Total to S. The game was free from rough playing. Through poor generalship on the part of Captain Kennedy of Chicago in at tempting to send Stacker through PENN sylvania’s left guard, he lost the ball within two yards of the goal line in the second half, and when, finally, few moments later, Wellington was pushed over for the tieing touchdown, the Chicago captain missed an easy goal. 1t was his attempt at fake kick, too, that ultimately resulted in Pennsylvania score, Kennedy drop ping the ball when tackled and Penn sylvania securing it on Chicago’s A. yard line. With Chicago’s goal in sight Pennsylvania’s big guards tore the maroon line to pieces and David son was finally pushed over But Chi cago’s goal line was not again in dan ger. I9dIiS i’ll uHe ITSl liGll SsAASdAA discovered that PennsJlvania’s left end was weak. and time and again Hammil and Wellington got around for suostantial gains. But with the ball with in a yard of the goal line, Pennsylvania made the most desperate stand of the game. Three times the line held and when the mass of players untangled after the last down, the ball was still a foot from the line. Coombs an in slant later punted out of danger, and when time was called the ball was en- Chicago’s 45-yard line. Chicago’s all around playing was superior to that of the Quakers. The lat ter were utterly unable to get around the maroons’ end and in the first half were frequently held for downs. even when using the dreaded guards back play, which has brought victory to the red and blue In many games. IN the second half. however, the awful ham, mering told severely in the Chicago forwards and during the second series Of plays which resulted in Pennsyl, Vania’ S touchdown they were played off their feet. Most Of the time dur ing the second half the ball was well within Pennsylvania’s territory, and only the f1ercest kind Of playing by the well nigh exhausted Quakers saved them from defeat. Notwithstanding the fact that rain lao btSil SlSdu!lS since ing. the gridiron at Marshall field was in fair condition. Frequent applications of saWdust kept the field from becoming soft. A crowd Of fully 6O0C enthusiasts witnessed the struggle, in. cluding several hundred rooters for the red and blue of Pennsylvania, and the latter team did not lack encoura cement so far as cheering was concerned.

  HARVARD DEFEATS CARLISLE Indians Succeed in Scoring en- Points Against the Crimson. Harvard 22, Carlisle 10. CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 2S.-While Harvard had no difficulty in disposing of the famous Carlisle Indian eleven this afternoon on Soldiers field, the crimson players were unable to keep little Hudson from kicking his customary goal from the field and a wretched muff by Girasch early in the game, followed by quick pickup by Red Water, who ran fifty yards for a touchdown, gave the visitors five more points, making the final score % to 10. There was bad fumbling by the Harvard backs at times and during the latter part of the game the Indians, discovering a weak spot in the crimson line, hammered there for steady gains until the thirty yard line was reached After two downs without result Hudson drove the ball between the goal posts. The little Indian quarterback, however, did not have all the kicking honors to himself, for Burnett made fine goal from a place kick on the Indians fifty-yard line and Hallowell’s punting was almost as good as HaughtonS last year. The entire Harvard eleven played with a snap and dash that carried the IL 900 people almost off their feet with enthusiasm. during the entire game. On the other hand a number of the Indians were sadly bat tered. Wheelock was carried from the field and tonight is still in serious con diton. His injuries apparently resulted from a blow about the head. Until the last part of the second half Harvard’s new defense worked well and had no trouble in keeping the ball in the Indians territory. AS the Harvard score mounted, however. Captain Burden deter mined to give the substitutes a chance. Accordingly he called in Eaton and Swain as tackles, and also a new trio of backs Parker Warren and Reid Then the In dams began to play. They attacked Harwards line with fury that the substitutes could not meet and slowly pushed the ball down the field. A mass play just outside of tackle was the effective for, nation and Swain especially seemed pow erless to stop 1t. On every exchange of punts Harvard gained partly due to the great SUPERIOR ity of Hallowel over Miller and to the brilliant work of Daily, who invariably ran Millers punts back ten yards before being downed.
