ette football team ined up Sunday on the
Central ground in proved an un-
usually close game. They were about as
nearly even in strength as it was posi-
BILE to be and the game in consequence
was a struggle that excited a large num-
Der of spectators. For nearly so minutes
the cams fought, tackled and bucked
the centre and piled up in indiscriminate
masses without much perceptible adj
vantage to either. Just as the Lafay-
cites seemed in a position to score with
the ball on the Central's 4-yard mark
the ball was fumbled by Lewis and
Johnson picked it upy got through the
line and ran the field for a touch down..
No goal was kicked and although the
Lafayettes had the ball we'll down in the

The Park Club was beaten yesterday
in the mud, on the flats at Marion. They
played one thirty minute half with the
Aleyon Field Club of West Hoboken, and
although Weighing much lighter than
their opponents the Parks played pluck
lily and put up an excellent defence
against the heavy rushes and did some
unusually hard tackling.. frequently nail
ing the runner with the ball in his tracks
before he had a chance to move. Morgan
played a star game for the Parks. Three
times he got through the line and
blocked kicks. One of the prettiest plays
was Aldinger's goal from the field, kick
ing it from the % yard mark. He was
very accurate in his kicking and twice
sent the ball between the uprights. The
score was II to 0. The teams were

Sunday the Waverly Club of this city
visited Ridgewood and played a clever
game against the Eastern District team.
defeating them by a score of 4 to 0. The
Waverlys played Systematically and put
up an aggressive game. They had the
ball during almost the entire first half
in the Eastern Districts territory, but
were unable to get it over the line, al
though a tumble was the only thing that
prevented it. They lined up with the ball
in the Eastern Districts two yard line
when in swapping the ball to Simms the
latter fumbled it and Hoffman fell on it,
saving the touch down. On the line up

Application anks for seats at the Yale
Princeton gan : must be handed in to the
managers not later than tomorrow moor.
There will be very few choice seats left
by that time, according to Indications.
On the sides of the field there will be a to-
tai of 10, 400 seats at 81 each. On the ends
of the gridiron there will be about 1000
more at s1.5O apiece. AS there will be no
admission tickets sold and no coach posi-
lions. it is estimated that the gross re-
aeipts will amount to about $4,000. There
are very few seats left for the Harvard
Yale game next Saturday. More than
il. 900 seats at 50 each have been snapped
up, and 10,600 more at $1.50 have been
nearly all disposed of. From indications,
$4,000 spectators are expected to
see the big battle.
The Carlisle Indians, by the way, will
enjoy the most profitable season since
their eleven was first organized. In their
game at Princeton their share of the re-
ceipts was said to be close to $500. At
the Polo Grounds, against Yale, they
drew such good money that they carried
away more than 50, 500, and at Philadel-
phia on Saturday they received nearly
versity at the Polo Ground next Saturday.
they may pocket another good sum, to say
nothing of their games in the West
around Thanksgiving time. All in all 1t is
a pretty fair sized balance in their treas
ury after their heavy expenses have been
paid. They do more travelling than any
OF the other big teams, hence quite an
item in railroad fares and hotel bills.
