The Contest Between the University
of Pennsylvania and Cornell.
THE TWO GREATEST FULL BACKS
Will Come Together-The League
Makes No Changes in its Cir
cuit-Resrlts of Yesterdays
Races and the Entries for To-
day-Gsneral Sporting News.

PHILADELPHIA, November 16-Penn-
sylvauia and Cornell are to play here to-
morrow and the attention OF the foot
ball world is largely directed toward
this particular game.
A few weeks ago the coming game be-
tween the'two teams representing these
universities was looked upon as likely
10 be one of the closest games Of the
season. At the present time, however,
owing to the rapid Improvement during
last week and the good showing made
by Pennsylvania in the game against
Princeton, and the recent apparent fall
inR-off and the poor showing made by
Cornell in the game with Williams at
Albany on Saturday last, it would ap-
pear that the matcn will be rather one
sided.
It may be, however, that Cornell will
have so rounded into shape again that
the game will be almost as close as was
anticipated.
Whatever be the final outcome Of the
game, it is certain to be characterized
by some very interesting and clever
playing op both sides
1t seems likely that there will be more
good kicking on both sides in this game
than has yet been seen in any one game
this season.
Brooke and Oil have booth shown
that they can do clever work In that
line, both on the offensive and defen-
sive, and it is prosble that their re-
spective abilities will be pretty thor
oughly put TO the test. A kicking
match between the two should be one
OF the most prominent and interesting
features Of the game.
The systems of interference which
will probably be employed by PennSyl-
vania and Cornell, respectively, are
very much alike in many respects, and
consequently the effectiveness with
which each team executes its move
ments and the way in which each will
meet almost the same style Of offensive
play by the other team, will form par
ticularly interesting subjects Of study
during the progress OF the game.
Owing to the general openness OF the
game which would be entailed 10 the
adoption Of kicking tactics by both
teams, the match should prove to be
very enjoyable from even the casual
spectators point Of view. For this rea-
son, too, there should be a noticeable
mum Der OF opportunities for clever run
ming, and with OsgOod and Colbert, In
particular, for Pennsylvania, and Oil
and Beacham for Cornell, these oppor-
tunities should be taken advantage Of
TO a considerable extent.

ne Proposes TO Make an Effort 60 Pass
the "POp-Gun" BllIs Through the
Senate.
Sped 10 re Rs1lstsr.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November 10
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, doesn't
find any reason in the outcome OF the
late elections Why the Democrats should
drop the work OF tariff reform. He
doesn't interpret the Republican
victory as reputation by the
country OF the Democratic pol
icy, but as a repudlatlOH
of Democratic tinidity and half-heart-
edness in carrying out that policy.
Consequently be expresses determine
tion 20 do all he can at the coming ses-
sion OF congress TO force through the
Senate the pop gun" free raw material
bills which we're passed by the
House toward the close OF
the late session. 1t must
be said, however, the chance OF getting
these bills through the Senate appears
very slight to an outsider. The apDro-
prati0u pills usually take up most Of
the time in short sessions Of Congress
aud there will therefore be but
little time 10 give 10 tariff discussions
in the Senate. The Republicans will
undoubtedly begin ilbustering as soon
as an attempt is made to get the pop
gun" bils'up, aud owing 90 the 6revity
of the session iJ will require but little
exertion on the part Of their champion
dlibusterers, Quay, Chandler and
A.drich, 10 stave of action until
the fourth Of March rolls around. Be-
sides this, there is no reason TO expect
that the. Democratic Senators who op-
posed in the long session free coal
and iron ore and the removal
of the differential duty
or sugar will change their attitude Ia
the short session. Thus the prospect is
that Senator Harris efforts TO supple
meut the general tariff bill with these
special measures will not DO effective.

KNOCKED OUT.
Con Riordan Gets Chin Breaker From Bob FitE-
simmons and at Last Accounts Was Lying Un-
conscious With Chances Against His Recovery.
FiEimmous Under Arrest to Await the Re-
sult-LaDky Bob Knocked Down by Local
Amateur.

SYRACUSE, Y. Y, November 16-Robert
Fitzsimmous knocked out Con Riordan,
his sparring partner, tonight IN the
first round of his usual exhibition,
which closes the programme of his
vaudeville show. Jacobs theatre was
crowded 10 witness the eltsrtainm ent, and
the audience departed for their homes lit
tie knowing that Riordon was still uncon-
scious. The blow was a rlght-hander and
caught Riordon squarely on the chin. He
did not fall TO the floor from the
force of the blow, but sank slowly
until he measured his length on the stage.
The accident occurred at 1850 o'clock and
two physicians have been working over
him with applications of electricity for two
hours and a half, without being able to re-
store him 10 consciousness.
AT 1890 o'clock he was removed from
the theatre to the Hotel Candee. 1t was
stated bv Manager Glori that Riordan had
been drinking hard all day aud that he was
intoxicated when he came on. the stage for
the set-tO.
Immediately after the Riordon incident
James Dunfee, local sparrer, put on the
gloves for two round set-two with Fitz
simmons. In the second round Dunfee
landed a right hand blow on Fits
Jaw, resulting in a clean knock-down,
the first, Fitzsimmons declares, he was
ever given. He was so dazed when he re-
gained his feet that he could not see Dun
fees hand when it was extended at the
call OF time.
FittzsimmOns was arrested shortly after
midnight The corps of physicians at
tending Riordon say that there are grave
doubts Of his recovery.
