STAYED FOURTEEN ROUNDS.
"iisoh fiuckily Stood Up Agains,
Jack DAILY.

JACK DAILY.
Nearly 500 members of the sporting ge,-
try, including most of the horse men at
tending the races, assembled at the Subur-
ban Roadhouse last evening to see a SPAR
ring contest between Jack Daily, the light
weight champion of Delaware, and Howard
wilson, lightweight champion of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The bout was somewhat
OF disappointment because Of Days fail
ure to get to weight. The men were to
have fought at 1873 pounds. Wilson weigh
ed in publicly at 131. Daily forfeited SIS
rather than acknowledge his weight.
1T was whispered that he turned the
scales at 1iS pounds, and he looked even
heavier than that. In addition to weight
DAILY also had the advantages of height,
reach and experience over the local boy
notwithstanding which the latter gameiy
consented to go on with the fight.
1t was mistake of judgment on his
part Tor as 1t turned out he was cutclassed
Just as any other lightweight would be
who tackled a middle weight.
Fourteen rounds were necessary to DEM
onstrate Days superiority. Wilson put
up game fight and did most Of the work
as long as his strength lasted He forced
the lighting at the start and exhausted
himself by his efforts, while his opponent
was holding himself in reserve. Wilson fell
down from sheer weakness in the four
teenth round and was counted out. Neither
man was much hurt. Although teaten,
Wilson did not show so much punishment
as Daily.
There was a good preliminary bout of
six rounds between Aleck Brown and
Jones had clearly the better CT the argu-
ment.

PRINCETON HEAVIER
Comparing the Teams in Tomorrow's
Foot Ball Game.
ELEVENS THAT BOTH HAVE PLAYED
Orange and Black Wearers Have
Had More Experience.
NOTES OF THE ERS

In looking at the two foot ball teams
which are to represent Yale and Princeton
on the gridiron tomorrow 1t would seem
as though the orange and black had about
all the advantage the law allows. Be-
sides the experience Of the wearers of the
orange and black as against the new play
ers of Yale's eleven there is a decided ad
vantage in weight. Only one man on the
Princeton team. Smith at quarter back,
falls below the weight of the man opposed
TO him on the field. and he is but three
pounds lighter than Fincke. who will in all
probability occupy that position for Yale.
All the rest of the Princeton players over
top their opponents by as much as thirty
pounds and over in some cases, notably
that of Crowds. who Is opposed on the field
by the big Yale guard. Charles Chadwick.
The average weight of the Princeton team
Is liz pounds heavier than that of Yale.
Then. again, there Is the record for the
early part Of the season. The West Point
team, which was beaten by the Princeton
eleven. IL to 0. forced Yale to make
safety, while the Carlisle Indians. who
were beaten % to @, should have tied Yale
instead Of being beaten by the blue.
AS far as can be ascertained the lineup
of the Yale eleven will be as follows:
Left end. Bass: left tackle. Rodgers: left
guard, Murray: center. Chamberlain: right

HARVARD AND PENNSY,
Will he the Greatest Foot Ball Event
In the History of Philadelphia.


Everything Is ready for tomorrow's con-
test between the University of PennsyI-
vania and Harvard elevens in Philadelphia,
and one Of the largest crowds that ever
attended foot ball game is expected to
be on hard. There has been very little
betting.
Accommodations have been provided for
over 10000 spectators on Franklin Field,
with the possibility of extending the capac-
ity several thousand in the remaining time
if the sale of seats justifies 1t. The game
should because of it's uncertain result, be
the biggest event of the kind Philadelphia
has ever seen.
PENIS lineup will most likely be as fol-
lows:
Left end. Boyle: left tackle. Uffenhemer:
left guard, Woodruff center, OverfieId;
right guard, Wharton; right tackle. Farrar:
right end, B. W. Dickson; quarter back,

DANGERS OF FOOT BALL.
Efforts to Be Made to Eliminate

LAWRENCE. Kan, November 20.-The
Kansas University faculty held long and
stormy session last night, discussing the
dangers of foot ball. Several members
were in favor of absolutely abolishing the
game, as the element of danger was al
ways present, but others thought the dam
ger could be eliminated. The whole mat
ter was concluded by the adoption of a
resolution that ordered the faculty ad
visory committee on athletics to investi-
gate the game of foot ball with reference
to the dangers involved and possible meat
of their elimination, and report to the
faculty. L. Hector Cowan, the foot ball
coach, is a member of the advisory COM
mittee.
a signed statement was received and
presented at the meeting from all the
players saying that the game Saturday
was free from bruising or vicious playing
and that the death of young Serf was a
pure accident.

Mr.. Bryan's Silence on the Advance in Wheat.

And still Mr.. Bryan has not a word
to say in regard to the rise in the price
of wheat. If the price of wheat is de-
pendent upon the price of silver and
has. as Mr.. Bryan has, hitherto. been
fond of asserting followed silver
down." it would just as surely follow
that the price of silver would go up
with the price of wheat. Now within
the past few weeks there has been a
marked rise in the price of wheat,
while the price of silver has continued
to fall This fact has had a most de-
pressing effect upon Mr. Bryan's cam
paign. 1t has not only robbed him of
the stock argument which constituted
the burden of his refrain in all the
earlier speeches of the campaign, but
it has very clearly opened the eyes of
the Western farmers, whose prejudices
he sought to arouse with that refrain.
to the palpable fact that the price of
silver has absolutely nothing to do with
the price of wheat. There is not the
slightest connection. Entirely different
causes operate to raise or lower the
price of each. This fact the
marked advance in the price of wheat
has brought home to Western farmers
more clearly and convincingly than all
the literature and all the arguments of
the campaign. 1t has lost many thou
sands of votes to Bryan. AS the cleo
ton draws near his advocates indulge
in more picturesque exhibitions of
bluff, but the people can easily see
through their shallow pretences to con-
fdence, and understand that they are
simply whistling to keep up their cour-
age. The silver cause is rapidly on the
wane, and it's supporters will be con-
stantly growing fewer in numbers as
! the day of election approaches.

capital. whether on the part of the
man who has millions, or the man who
has but a hundred or two it matters
not, the silver agitators are directly
responsible. To their attack on the in
tegrity of our currency are due the
heavily increased failures of this year.
the large number of workmen out of
employment. the keen distress felt in
thousands of erstwhile happy homes
and the possibilities of starvation
among the unemployed as winter draws

standard of money. They should here
after be branded as having committed
the crime of 1896.

BRYAN As He Is.

Considering the intense interest
aroused there has been quite a general
disposition on the part of the sound
money press to credit Mr.. Bryan with
have been few scattered evidences of
a disposition to herald him as a Dan
iel come to judgment" He has posed
as a man SO thoroughly devoted to the
cause of free silver that he would will
lingly withdraw if only he could there
by promote the cause. OF course no
one will attempt to alleviate the cranky
Lotions of these devotees. And there
is no essential need of doing so were
it possible, for their number is COM
paratively small Neither is there any
political advantage to be gained from
calling in question Bryan's sincerity.
On the other hand there does not <ap-
pear to be any good reason why the
opinion that he is sincere should be ac-
quiesced in when proof to the contrary is

would seem to demand some attention
in the matter. This being so it is well
to say. what is susceptible of easy
demonstration, that Bryan is abso-
lutely sincere only in his desire to ac-
quire notoriety and possibly. he hopes

oussion it may be admitted, and pos
sibly it is true, that he is sincere in a
belief that free silver would be a bene-
fit. There are good men who entertain
that idea. better men than Bryan, mer
better informed on the currency ques-
tons than Bryan. So it would not be
strange if Bryan had a certain belief
that somehow, in some way free and

If this country had received as much
silver from foreign countries during
the past few weeks as it has gold, the
price of the white metal would have
fastened quite way further down the
toboggan. We have not learned, how
ever, that the price of gold has been
in any way affected by these large i'm
ports of the yellow metal from for

THE DAKOTAS.
Republican Prospects Frightening
There.
Good Reasons for Believing Mckinley Will
Garry Both States.

1t is only within the past four weeks
that the Republican national managers
have encouraged the state leaders in
the two Dakotas to make a vigorous
fight for the sound money cause, writes
Henry l.. Stoddard to the New York
Mail and Express. and there is no place
throughout the country where the re-
suits have proven so surprisingly fav-
orable. l cannot speak with so much
confidence of North Dakota, for I have
not had an opportunity to go there. but
in South Dakota the prospecs for Nc
kinley majority are so bright that 5000
is now regarded as a low estimate.
This is by no means a narrow margin
in total vote of only 10000, but Ma
tional Committeeman Kittredge and
others with whom | have talked are in
clined to put McKinley's ajority above
that figure. This is to happen, bear in
mind. in a state now represented in the
national Senate bytwo Populists-Kyle
who was elected as such, and goes out
of office next March, and Pettigrew,
VINO got into the Senate as a Republic
can and bolted the st. Louis conven-
ton. taking the delegation with him.
Pettigrew lives in this city, but, unless
the signs are most deceptive, he is 60
ing to find much to ponder over in the
election returns from Sioux Falls and
the county in November The boiling
senator started out in the summer to
roll up a big Popocratic majority in
this county. called by the euphonious
name Minnehaha and he has made
this the center of his fight. Last year
the Republicans polled 25S0votes against
2o25 combined opposition. Instead of
giving Popocratic majority, as Petit
grew fondly hoped. the county will
undoubtedly give close to 1000 majority
to Mckinley.
This hopeful situation has not been
accomplished without great effort. but
the Republican committee is made up
of hustlers, and they have been at il
day and night with true western vigor.
Senator Pettigrew has had the party
strings in his hands for some time past.
and when he bolted the st. Louis cor
vention the party in this state became
demoralized. 1t was not believed that
successful campaign could be made
here, and the national committee lis
tened, but did little A. B. Kittredge.
however, the national committeeman
from this state. plunged into the fight
without waiting for outside co-opera-
ton, and he was not long in closing up
the break in the Republican ranks.
The state has been as throughly cam
palgned as is possible. with the sparse
population and great distances. Lit
erature and speakers have been sent
