HIGH SCHOOL ON TOP.
The North East Training School of
Philadelphia is the Victim--Two
beautiful Runs.

Yesterday afternoon at Union street
grounds, the Wilmington High School
defeated the North East Manual Training
School eleven of Philadelphia by the
score OF 10 to 5.
The visitors were simply outclassed
and had not Groves, the locals quarter
back, been absent, the score would have
been much larger Although Hates. who
played the position, did well for new
man, the head work was missing, and
this and the locals loose playing was
the cause OF the smallness Of the score.
Litte's sensational run OF ninety five
Yards in the second half saved the game
from being, from a specta atol's stand
point, drpary and long drawn out.
This, will the exception of Simspon's
beautiful fifty yard run for touchdown
two minutes after play had started, were
the only features. Simpson was aided
by great interference an. his own clever
lodging
The High School excelled the Manuals
in kicking more than any other depart
ment of the game. Lawton had good
day and kicked in great form. Cope
also kicked we'll, but had several blocked
ON account OF the weakness OF the line.
The High Schools second touchdown
was made by good, hard line bucking
and end running.
In fact, this was the only hard playing
the locals did, and this had to be done
if they wanted to win. The lineup is
as follows:

Oberlin's good showing against Cornell
was due to the coaching OF Ed Stearns,
formerly of the University OF Pennsyl-
vania, who has been handling the
Westerners this season.
Yesterday afternoon Harvard indulged
in her last secret practice before the
Pennsylvania game and the team prac-
ticed for two hard thirty-minute halves.
To-day the team will rest, merely re-
hearsing signals, while there will be
some kicking.
The demand for seats at Saturdays s
game with Pennsylvania is very great,
and crowd of probably 10000 will wit
ness the battle between the crimson and

Captain Chamberlain, OF Yale, went
behind the line yesterday and played
left halfback. 1t was in the second half,
and the scrubs were besting the Varsity.
He battered the line hard and soon
turned the tide in his teams favor.
There is little use of the admirers of
the Princeton team to be discouraged
over the game with the University of
Virginia players yesterday. Captain
HilIebrand had far from his best team
out, and just because only two touch
downs were made by the Tigers it doesn't
mean that Yale or any other team can
walk away with the Tigers.
Zieger Sargent, son of Henry B. Sar-
gent, of New Haven, Conn, member
OF the foot ball team Of Hopkins Gram

Uncle Sans marines may be a
g~uileless lot that can be counted
upon TO swallow tales Of fishes that
fly and put faith in Jacky's berth
deck yarns and the strange folk lore
OF the land lubber. Rsre ingenu-
BUSINESS and a childlike receptivity
are, perhaps, the characteristics of
the marine most expressed by their
well smoothed uniforms and their
painfully polished buttons.
But, how they can fight-go
hungry and fight, burn up in the
tropic sun and fight, go sleepless
and ight-fght all the time-fght
the way they have been taught to
fight, and if the enemy has a new
and barbaric and utterly strange
style of fighting, quickly learn that
style and fight out the enemy at
his own peculiar game.
The marines have done it before
now. History records their valor
and their prowess in many an as
sault on a strange shore. They
are not a body of men.
Jack, on s%hipboard, affects to hold
him in profound contempt, be-
cause he is a sojer-and a sojer on
a ship is an excrescence as useless
as a spare topsail. But Jack knows
that when it comes to fighting his
sojer shipmates are all right.
The marine corps of Uncle Sans
navy has won new now on
Cuban soil. 1t has fought the
first land battle of the war, and
has fought it CALAMITY. 1t was
the kind of fighting that cavalry
in an Indian campaign is trained
to but the sea soldiers learned the
trick with marvellous quickness.
The prestige and fame of the ma
rines are safe with the present rep
resentatives of that branch of the
country's defenders.

Correspondent Poultney Bigelow
apparently aspires to be the Bull
Run Russell of this war.
Bull RIM Russell" Is we'll re-
membered here by those of us who
were old enough to read the news
papers or go to the front in '6I.
Like Russell, Bigelow is the CORE
spondeut of the London Times.
Like Russell he, has been making
heart-breaking charges against the
management Of our army mobili-
cation. and his statements have
created no end of hot discussion.
Russell predicted disaster for the
Union army when ION to Rich
mond" was the cry that drove it
to disaster at Bull Run. He de-
livered himself of a good deal of
free criticism of the situation be-
fore Bull Run and of the way the
troops we're handled on the field.
Bigelow has prepared us for dis
aster when Il troops are set to
fighting in Cuba, but it is to be
doubted If his predictions come
true. Things are different. We
have not hurried "on to Havana"
as we hurried on to Richmond"
1t is to be doubted if the picture
that Bigelow draws will prove as
accurate as that of Bull Run
Russell" BY the standards of
armies our own may,
indeed, be "unprepared." No one
that. But we have been
making haste slowly, and while at
Bull Run our soldiers had to meet
brothers in blood and mettle, it is
,nly Spaniards that the troops of
90 are called upon to fight. That
s something in our favor, it is con-
identity believed.

Perhaps the over subscription of
the war loan might be offered to
Spain. That would be chivalrous.
There was once a Yankee skipper
who right in the middle of a dandy
fight was Disguised to see the en-
emy's flag come down. He sent
a boat over to find out the reason
OF the surrender and was informed
that the enemy had expended all
his ammunition, whereupon the
gallant Yankee divided his own
store OF powder and ball and
sent it over to the other shi. with
the polite request that the flag
be run up again and the fight be
continued until it was settled on
its merits without any handicap.
