GREAT STRUGGLE TO-DAY
PENNSYLVANIA TO MEET HARVARD
ON THE LATTER's GRIDIRON.
Princeton to Play West Point ana
Rose Polytechnic to Tackle the
Louisville KicLers.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Nov. 4.-Pennsyl-
vania's football eleven visited Harvard to-
day for the purpose of inspecting the foot
ball field on which the first great struggle
of the season is to take place. They spent
half an hour or so in walking about the
gridiron. The men all seemed to be in good
condition with the exception of Outland,
who has slight limp and probably will not
start in tO-morrows game.
The Harvard team to-day had its last
practice before to-morrow's game, kicking
and signal work being the principal features
The team lined up as it will face Pennsyl-
vania, with Jaffray at center. Mills and
Haughton will be in the game at right
tackle, but the question of who goes in first
will not be settled until after the toss-up
for goal. Neither Warren, Beal nor Coch-
rane, all of whom have been on the Grip
pied list, showed any sign of recent injuries,
and this fact sets Harvard stock up peg.
That Harvard will be able to withstand the
guards back formation of Pennsylvania few
of the home team supporters dare to hope,
but there are many who think that Har-
ward ought to show supremacy in kicking
and on the ends, enough al least TO counter
act Pennsylvania decided advantage at
center. The game will be called at O'Clock.
and the indications point to al unusually
large attendance.

GREETED. When the army of occupation first
invaded the island the natives received the
Americans cordially as they expected to be
treated as people of this country and not
as a conquered province. The treatment
they have received from our hands has been
Just the opposite. This has produced chill.
What the Porto Ricans want is to be taken
in as a part of the United States. They do
not expect to enter the Union as a State,
but as a people in training to be advanced
to statehood. In addition to this, they want
free trade with the United States, and there
is no reason that can see why they should
not have it. At present they are forced to
pay duty on all imported goods Spanish in

BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT.
O'DeII Says Roosevelt VIII Win and
Croker Predicts Van WycIk's Election.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4-Chairman Odell, of
the Republican state committee, has given
out the following statement: 1.-The campaign
which is so rapidly drawing to close fIom
every Indication points to a Republican vic
tory. The closing of a careful canvass of
the upstate counties cOnvinces me that a
plurality large enough to more than meet
and offset any possible plurality that can
be obtained in Greater New York by Tam
many Hall is assured. I find that the con-
slant talk by Tammany Hall leaders of
their certainty of carrying the State has
been pure bluff. There is no possibility of
their securing in the city of New York d
plurality that would insure the election of
Van Wyck, and they are now seeking with
fake bets TO bolster up what they know to
be a losing cause. Their bets the i1epub-
Hcans are calling. and we are met with
the information at their betting stand that
there is no more Van Wyck money in sight.
On the contrary, / am in receipt of infor-
nation from hundreds of Democrats within
for Roosevelt, and l believe that there is a
surprise in store for Democrats as well as
for Republicans, only that the surprise for
the Republicans will be in the nature of a
pleasing one. 1 claim the State of New
York without any question for Roosevelt
by at least 10000 His magnificent canvass
has awakened enthusiasm throughout the
State, and his manly and courageous utter
ances and his reputation for honesty feve
brought to him the independent voters who
are to decide this election"

DIRTY FOOTBALL PLAYERS.
Rose Polytechnic Launches a Charge
Against "a De PAW Kicker.

f.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
In the issue of the Journal of Oct.
there appeared a report from your Green
castle correspondent of the football game
played by the De PAW University and
Rose Polytechnic teams. In this report
there is a severe criticism of the character
of the game played by the Rose team. es-
pecially by Mr.. Stone, of that team. Assum-
ing that the game had been fairly reported.
/ instructed the athletic committee of our
faculty to make a thorough investigation in
order that if the allegations as published
were true and Mr.. Stone guilty as stated,
proper action could be taken. The faculty
of Rose desires to foster clean, honest ath-'
letics and to purge all sports of the objec-
tionable features which have given rise to
just criticism. No student whose record is
not clean and who does not play a clean
game will be permitted to play on the team.
The report of the athletic committee is
before me- Upon careful investigation 1t
finds that the charge Of dirty play on the
part of the Rose Polytechnic Institute
is not we'll founded The evidence obtainable
indicates that the dirty play was princi-
pally chargeable to one member of the De
PAW team, Mr.. Fisher who openly boosted
of such play that he several times struck
and fouled opposing players, and that on
one occasion he jumped on the back of one
of the players IN our team down on his face
and struck the PROSTATE player three times
back of the ear with sufficient force to
cause a large swelling. At this juncture Mr..
Stone pulled Mr.. Fisher off of the back of
Mr. Glenn and in retaliation and in defense
struck him twice. Mr.. Stones forgetting
himself so far as to strike one OF the play
ers is regretted, but under the prOvocation
the circumstances do not warrant his exclu-
sion from the team, or the charges made
against him by your correspondent.
Your correspondent, in defiance of the
rules, persisted in coming on the field and
only under the very decisive protests of
Captain Davis was he excluded.

IL IS practically populated by Northern
settlers. With one possible exception the
Northern settlers at that resort will vote

the Northern settlers IL other parts of
North Carolina. Many of them are among
the most active workers for the success of

quaintance among Northern settlers in the
state, do not know one who is not an
ofnceholder who will vote the fusion ticket.
Inc campaign has resolved itself more into
a fight for white rule and protection to
property than one of political divisions, and
the Democratic victory, it seems now, will
be won by the aid of the best element in
the Republican and Populist party. Nearly
All the men of these parties with large
property interests will vote with the Demo-
Gratis. In the recent parade of one thousand
men wearing red shirts, in Richmond coun-
~. there were quite number of white Pop
ulists and white Republicans. This shows
their deep interest in the campaign and the
tremendous issues involved"
