New Haven, Nov. 20.-The score in
the great football game this afternoon
was Yale 6, Princeton 0.
There was fine playing from the
start. The crowd was immense.
YaIe's men are the heroes of the night.
After a night passed in dreaming of
the goddess Of football, draped in blue
or orange and black, the Yale men and
Princeton men awoke, and the days
dawning was full of most discourag-
ing indications. Every prospect point
ed to playing the great football game
on a field wet and slippery. At day.
break snow was falling hard. The
weather, however, did not daunt the
football enthusiasts, and by 8: 80

were filled with Princeton and Yale
men, graduates and undergraduates.

mittee Appointed.

The initial step toward having the
Oglethorpe bi-centennlal in this city
next year was taken yesterday after
noon, when number of prominent
citizens, vitality interested in the busi-
! ness welfare of the city, met at the Of
flee of Brobston, Fendig & Co. and
decided to exhaust all efforts to make
the project a grand success.
1t was meeting In which the fibre
and strength of Brunswick's CONNER
cial interests were represented. There
was an evident determination to cast
aside all petty differences and work
all together for success.
MIR. N. Emanuel was elected chair
man of the meeting and Mr.. Albert
Fendig secretary.
Those present discussed the ques-
tion of location of the grounds, as a
necessary preliminary consideration,
and it was determined that the Gotten
factory property offered thu best ad-
vantages for the purpose. This prop
erty was leased by the city to the Ken
non Manufacturing company for 80
years, the lease to become null and
void and the property to revert to the
city whenever it should cease to be
used for the manufacture of cotton
and woolen goods. This pursuit has
been abandoned by the lessees for sew
eral years, and the city can now re-
claim the property. The Kennon
tract contains 1917 acres, and adjoin-
tracts can be secured, which will give
an area of 30 acres fer the fair.
The large main building of the cot
ton factory can be utilized as the main

suited for the purpose. The county
commissioners promise the loan of the
entire gang of county convicts for the
purpose or clearing up and working
on the grounds.
A committee was appointed to look
into the matter of the grounds and
making the preliminary investiga-
tions. The committee consists of
Messrs. N. Emanuel, Albert Fendig
and j. B. Abrams.
The meeting then adjouraed, sub
jeot to the call of the chairman.

A Newspaper Poll Shows How the
Legislature Will Dis
pose Of 1t.
LEASE SYSTEM HAS A MAJORITY.
Farm For Women, Boys and Disabled COnvicts.
No RsfOrmatory SchOol-0ther
Business.

Atlanta, Nov. 2O.-The Journal had
interviews with eighty-three mem
bers of the house and twenty-tour OF
the senate on the convict lease ques-
tion, and this concensus of these views
does much to clarity the nebulous
condition of the public mind on this
subject.
From the interviews this much OF
the legislative result seems certain:
There will be a five year lease of the
able-bodied convicts, with state con-
troll of the guards and physicians, the
lessees to feed, clothe,and shelter them
under regulations and inspection.
There will be farm for the women,
boys, aged and infirm conYicts.
This plan is designated In large
proportion of the replies as the
nucleus for penitentiary after five
years, but that question will probably
be left for future legislatures to de-
eide.
There will be no reformatory school,
but moral restraints may be pre-
scrlbed for young convicts on the
farm. There will hardly be any
state inspection of misdsmeanor con-
vIcts. Felons Will not be worked on
the public roads.

The University Gets the Best Of Harvard in
the Contest.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2O.-The foot
ball game between the University OF
Pennsylvania and Harvard today re-
suited in favor of the former, the score
being Is to 8.
The day Of the annual football bat
tie between the University of Penn
sylvania and Harvard dawnsd unfay-
orable. Lowering clouds threatened
rain at almost any moment. Light
breezss came directly from the east,
but there wac scarcely enough wind to
ripple the long red, blue and crimson
streamers which gally decorated the
buildings in the business section Of
the city.
At the field there was a terrible
crush. There were half a dozen en-
frances to the ground, but everybody
wanted to go through the gates at the
same time, and there was struggling
mass of humanity stretching for near
ly two blocks. NeIer before in the
history of the city has there been such
crowd at football game.
When the teams lined up there were
about $4,000 persons in the big amphi-
theter.

ers at Sloatsburg early today. At the
same spot attempts were made last

freight train wreck today is thought
to be due to the same miscreants who
were unsuccessful on the previous oc-
casion. By good chance no one was
injured today. Two freight cars were
piled on top the locomotive. There is
no clue to the train wreckers.
