  SPORTING NOTES. Charles P. Rice of Uxbridge, Mass the great rival Of Howard Drew, the Springfield lad, entered the University of Maine. He will be valuable addi- | tion to the Maine track team and should prove a prominent condter for sprint ing honors in New England and other eastern colleges. One of the big surprises OF Saturday : football games was the outcome of the Dartmouth-Colby game. The week previous, Colby went to Providence and hui inflated Brown with 10 to 0 defeat. Colby was expected at least to make things interesting for Dartmouth, but the match proved to be runaway affair. Final arrangements have been made between Penn state and Harvard for the game to replace the Norwich game, which was cancelled because Of the death of Vernon Belyea. Penn state should make an interesting game for the Crimson. A surprise found in the results OF Sat. urday’s football games was the defeat of Holy Cross by Massachusetts Aggie. Boland, who played quarterback on the Lafayette college team three years ago, has been declared ineligible at Princeton. MlEh interest is taken in football at vilIanoya this season. Already there have been four teams constantly drilling daily. Tommy Connell, who played quarter back on the Yale football team last fall. has been shifted to halfback, where de is performing creditably. The University Of Washington base bali team is touring Japan at present, playing the most prominent japanese college teams. The major league baseball clubs in the East completed the present season Saturday, while the western clubs brought the season to grand close Sunday. +. C. Hapgood, well known in Barre. is again officiating at football games this fall Saturday he acted as referee Of the Tufts.New Hampshire state game. Ralph Rose, the famous shot putter, is critically i’ll at his home at San Fran cisco with typhoid fever. Rose IS the champion shot putter of the world. The Boston clubs finished closely for positions in their various leagues. The Red Sox, last season champions of the world, were barely able to land in first division, ranking fourth in standing. The lowlly Braves proved true to early spring predictions and moved up from the eel lar to fifth position in the National league. candy” Smith, the veteran coach known through his affiliations with Pennsylvania of late years. is now coaching at Perdue university at la fsyette, Ind. Smith was last season in charge of the Penn team, being succeed ed by George Brooks. Manager Jimmy Callahan of the Chi cago White Sox is being hailed as the to have smoothed over the differences exlisting between Lord, Chase, 0Brien and Cicotte. The St Louis Browns have a long list of excellent pitchers at present, but badly need strengthening in other departments of the game. The Browns list OF pitching material is as follows: Leverenz. Welman, Hamilton. Schwenk, | Stone, Charlie Taylor and | Roy Mitchell. Many persons are advis | ing Manager Hickey to trade off some | Of the surplus pitching matter for men to bolster up the other positions on the team. Clyde Engle, the husky infelder OF the Boston Red Sox, will go TO Cuba this winter to manage team at Matanzas. He will probably take many play ers from the United States with him. The New York Highlanders have moth ing to fear from unlucky signs. The New Workers have won four games this season on the 18th of the month. Because of the fact that the Wash | ington club has no right field hitters ! in its ranks, the management has moved | the right field fence back a distance Of 30 feet to put stop to the home run hitting of visitors. In the past visiting teams have piled up numerous our-ply hits over this short fence. ! Joe Tinker. manager of the Cincinnati / Reds. is still the old scrapper of old. Tinker has received suspensions for two fights this season. The first occurred | in June with Otto knabe of the Phil lies. His other alteration was recently with Maranville of the Boston Braves. -

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 5.-Penn. sylvania defeated Lafayette on Frank lin Field yesterday afternoon in the an, nual football battle between the two in. sututions by a score Of 10 to 0. The Quakers’ points represent brilliant goaI from field by Marshall in the first period from the i1-yard line, and a touchdown and goal in the final period. The game was cleanly played, but bitterly contested from whistle to whistle. The Maroon and White showed a stronger attack from straight scrimmage than the Red and Blue, but the Quakers gained yards more than the Eastonians by reason Of remarkable employment Of the forward pass. Lafayette was never within striking distance of the Pennsylvania goal, while the Quakers were twice in a position to score touch downs. both instances made possible by magnificent forward passes. Chester Minds was the most conspicu- Gus figure of the game. 1t was to his long, bullet-like forward passes, hurled with a precision and deliberation that surpassed anything of the kind ever wit messed On Franklin Field, that PennsyIvania owes her victory Thirteen times the sterling Quaker back shot the bail over the heads of the struggling lines. Not one OF these passes was lacking in distance or defective in direction. Six times did some ubiquitous Quaker play er leap in the air an6 pull down the ball for material advances.
