CARLISLE INDIANS BEATEN.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The annual
football contest between Yale and the
Carlisle Indian School elevens attracted
5000 persons to the Polo Grounds this
afternoon. Yale did not present her
strongest players. In spite of this, how
ever, the men from New Haven played
a fast game in the first half, and found
no trouble whatever in getting around
either side. Besides this, they almost
pushed through the line of the redskins
at will
In the second half with the same play
ers, Yale played an entirely different
game. The work of the backs was ex-
ceptionally slow, while the interference
was very poor. They also fumbled fre-
quently The Indians took advantag ge
of the poor work, and as a result scored
all of the points credited to them while
the Yale men were '.in the air."
Cudson, the clever little quarter back,
accomplished a feat not often seen on
the gridiron, by kicking goal from the
field from the thirty-fve yard line.
Score: Yale "A, Carlisle 4.
PENNSYLVANIA WON.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct 23.-The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania football team
this afternoon defeated Lafayette by
the overwhelming score of 46 to Q.
Three touch-downs and two goals were
in the first half, and five touch-downs
and five goals in the second half. AT
no time during the afternoon was the
red and blue goal in danger, with the
exception of a moment in the second
half. During the entire afternoon the
Lafayette team only made three downs,
and only two of these We're on end
skirting. Lafayette's line averaged ten
pounds to the man heavier than that
Of Pennsylvania, but the latter simply
tore it to pieces.

ANNAPOLIS (Md), Oct. 23.-The

CLOSE GAME AT SAN JOSE.
SAN JOSE, Oct. 23.-Santa Clara Col
lege defeated the University of the Pa
cific here to-day in a hotly contested
oanoa of football by score of to U.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-Stan-
ford defeated the Reliance Club in to-
day's football game of the intercolle-
eiate series by the score of 8 to 6. The
game was largely a kicking contest,
the field being so soft and muddy that
there was very little running, and
neither side could give ground with any
regularity, either by end running or
line hucking.
The Stanford men clearly outplayed
the big and better Reliance team. The
score gave no criterion of the relative
merits of the teams, for the ball was
most of the time in Reliance territory.
That Reliance scored at all was hardly
Stanford's fault, but that Stanford did
not score more frequently remark
able.
The Stanford line was almost like a
stone wall, through which Reliance
vainly tried to break. Before the game
was ten minutes old Stanford had
blocked two kicks in rapid succession,
the second forcing Reliance to a touch
back for safety, giving Stanford two
points. In the second half, through
the clever runs of Murphy, Stanford
got the ball into Reliance territory
Leavitt of Stanford made spectacular
