FOOTBALL TRICKS.
The pessimist who has maintained that there Is
no science i'm football and that brute force alone
wins the games must now take a back seat Ior
the game at Manhattan Field on Saturday eN-
poded his logic and left him positively nothii's 10
stand on Yale thrashed Pennsylvania cer'a'iy
her equal. IL not her SUPERIOR In peer ana
physical force.
Many OF the people present talked over 'he o"'',e
again and again yesterday, and In uptown ho'eis
and clubs the game was the chief topic Oh con-
versation. Yale had come out Of the contest the
victor, but not with the clear record "hic" s'e
has held for three years, for pennsylvania mas

memorable game with Harvard in 1890. And the
Quakers' touchdown not fuke. either' que

or any bad msplays on Yae's part.
Pennsylvania made every yard OF Her gam
squarely and honestly and Knipe went over the line
just we'll Butterworth had done when the
latter scored the first touchdown of the game
and little Brooke shot pretty a goal as was
ever sent spinning the crossbar. Many people
were surprised at the brilliant showing made by
the Pennsylvania team, and only those who nave
watched closely the work Of Captain Mackey ana
his men were prepared for the grand struggle on
Saturday Yale and Princeton can well anord 10
lcgisate such opponent out of the Intercollegiate
Association. Pennsylvania better last year
than ever before, and her team this year Is the
best Of all. Her possibilities are great and the
Quaker City may. and probably will, turn out
better team next year than she has this. There
is little for Harvard and Yale to learn In
football. while Pennsylvania knows nearly as
much. and Mackey and his men are still devouring
knowledge.
Individually. the Pennsylvania team seems to
be the equal, II not the superior, Of Yale's great
aggregation. Collectively. team. Yale Is
stronger. Yale has terrific force and power In her
army OF coachers and her list Of victories, and
in that undaunted Yale courage and enthusiasm
which will never be "dOwned." Yale coachers
know every trick in the trade. and they know how
to adapt them to their purpose 1t team work
which won the victory. and nothing else. Had
Pennsylvania been fortunate. all Philadelphia
would have been singing the praises Of her team
to-day.
YALE CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.
The Yale men entered the game convinced that
they would win easy victory. and believing
that their rivals would not a point 1t was
said that the champions would not use any OF
their tricks they expected to reserve
their more clever manoevres for the annual bat

system however. had been exhausted before the

Captain Hinkey disappointed his friends by his
show Of temper and the generally suen j
attitude he maintained during the game. But
terworth made his reputation, and Hickok
and Beard added laurels TO their wreath or foot

MISERABLE POLICE ARRANGEMENTS.
The Acknowledgement and the abomnable police ar
rangements have called out storm OF protests
from those present at Manhattan Field on Satur-
]ay. The police department OF NewYork cannot
afford TO have such scenes repeated
The 10 policemen present on the grounds were
unable to preserve order: at least they did not DO
t. Whether they tried or not is another matter.

,ding of the vaduct. and the conduct OF the
police in allowing the crowd to encroach on the

work than did those thick wasted local guardians
