Hutchinson, of Harvard. was referee, and George, of Prince ton, the umpire The PennsylvaRia men dropped several hundred dollars by betting that Yale would not score twenty points. BROOKLYN, n. Y, Nov. 15.-The Princeton football players had it all their own way from the beginning. There was very little sluggiEg Once Princeton lost the ball and played loose game, and finally Slayback got the ball and, lodging three Princeton men, scoring a touch down. 1t was the first Wesleyan ever made against Princeton The Wesleyan men hauled like madmen. The Princetons made runs around the end, and Wesleyan rushes through the middle. Princeton had 16 to 4 in their favor at the end of the first half. When the game closed the score was 46 to 4 in Princetons favor Washington is great athletic centre, and out sports receive much attention here as in any locality in America. The preponderance of young men who are in Government life and who are therefore free and untrammeled at the hours usually placed for training purposes, renders it very easy for the clubs to get out available men in every class of athletics. That outdoor athletics is popular here has been attested in various ways through local regattas, the championship meeting of the y. \. u, and later on the football contests of the college and athletic clubs OF all outdoor sports football, while the most interesting, is at the same time the worst abused game from outsiders, simply because they do not really understand what they are talking about. The modern game of football, as played here by the Columbias and Georgetown and Kendall uni versities, requires not only trained men of muscle. Drawn, and skill, but they must possess a great degree of grit that will enable them to resist the rushes and tackle the big men with every confidence in their ability to down the opposing man, though he be twice as large Of course, there is some abuse brought into the game by rough scrmmages, and once in while accidents occur, as in every other line of sport, but they are few and far between. Last wear whan the Princetons made their first appear ance here, and later on the Naval Academy boys, our athletes had their eyes opened, and at once the sport took firm root and established Itself IN public favor, and it has grown ever since. This year our clubs have shown marked Improvement, and while not yet able to down such as Princeton, ETC., they have succeeded in winning some good games, and it is conf IDENTIFY asserted that before the close of next year they will cause the best college teams to lower their colors. The small chickering’s that have arisen and the falsehoods spread broad cast about the promoters of the game should be stopped and game arranged for the cham pionship on Thanksgiving Day. This should be the game of the year, and the Columbia a. Z. aud Georgetowns should 90 at it with the desire only to settle the question as to which is % Ihe better team WIN they do it,? One incident happened at the Georgetown mention. Among the spectators was crowd of yelling students who had a large tally-ho coach, and they made themselves very abusive and Objectionable; in fact, their work was out rageous Well, the Georgetown boys took it good naturedly, and only one break took place, that being one of the gang hitting little Feming over the head with his cane. When the game was over the abusive gang crowded into their coach, and it being on small declivity, it upset, and the ringleader of the crowd unfortunately broke his leg in the scramble When the coach was righted the crowd got aboard, drove off, and left the injured man on the field to get along as best he could When Dyer and Mccoy saw this they got out of their hack, lifted the man in, and carried him into Lexington for treatment. This generous act to the most abusive man OF the crowd caught on, and that night the people of the place could not shower enough honors on the Wis itors. 1t has been said frequently of late that the probabilities that the Amateur Athletic Association of England will feel disposed to look into the amateur standing of the Stafford Harriers team when it returns to England. The men have been competing in joint games with the Manhattan Athletic Club for gate receipts. the proceeds to be divided between the two or CARNATIONS, but this question will not enter into any investigation the Amateur Association may make. What the association will want to know, if it cares to know anything, will be whether the Stafford Harriers paid their own expenses, which, Of course, they have not Sporting LJe On Tuesday the Columbia Athletics met and defeated the eleven from Dickinson College in a hard-fought and stubbornly y-contested game, the score being to 0. The Columbia boys showed marked improvement in their game, and it is apparent that the two games with Princeton and Lehigh have taught the boys a trick or two What they want to do now is to add little more snap to their game, stop the cavorting with the ball when lined up, and devote more attention to team work. The individual work of Butter 9.)rth, Ramsburgh, Veasey, and Emory was good, while Harlan and Crist interfered and tackled well. The points were accomplished in a cleYerway Butterworth made kick toward goal which the full-back of Dickinson flImbled caught it, and, making a good run, scored a touchdown, and then Butterworth kicked goal There was a very small crowd present, but they were not pleased with the decisions of Mr.. Lake | the referee, who gave everything in favor of the visitors. On Tuesday the Georgetown COLLEGE football team visited Lexington, KY, to play the team of Washington and Lee University, and after a good game returned home Victors by the score of 10 to g. The GeorgetOwners were royalty entertained by the faculty and students of the Vir gina school, and say that if possible they VIII have them down here this month. Isadore Dyer made his first appearance as a half-back, and TO his splendid running and interfering may be at ! tributed much of the success of Georgetown. Mccoy played splendidly as also did Fleming Keyes, O’DOnnell, and Henchey while the entire rush line of Georgetown stood the onsaughts of the Firginians like a huge wall. The game though played hard, was devoid of the usual hard slugging that has been noticeable in con tests of late, The movement for the reinstatement of Nal Inn nd iG hapnlaip0r Etr and
