 pearance at the Rink Tonight.
 The polo game at the rink tonight will be between the Meriden and New Haven teams. In the ranks of the wearers of the green will be found a couple of New Haven favorites in the persons of Spencer and Mallory. The former has just left the ranks of the Blues for the purpose of strengthening the Meriden team, while Mallory is last years goal tender of the Blues and a smart young player.

New Haven Loses Its First Home Game to Providence by the Score of 5 Goals to 2.

New Haven Loses Its First Home Game to Providence by the Score of Goals to 2.
 The polo rink was crowded yesterday afternoon by an audience that must have numbered close to 1,S00 people, the majority of which went for the pur- pose of seeing New Haven down the crack Providence team. In this they were disappointed, for although the Blues made everyone happy by start ing in with a winning gait and scoring the first two goals, they were unable to keep the pace up and were defeated by goals to ?. This is the first game the home team has last. The play yes- terday was of a very ragged descrip- tion, and not at all up to the usual standard of the competing teams. The scoring was mostly done in the first period, when the best of the play was shown. In the other two periods the play consisted of a good deal of indl- vidual work and did not count for much. The following are the positions and summary:

HAcKMAN's LICENSE REVOKED.
Charged With Keeping Articles Left in
 His Carriage.

Superintendent Wrinn yesterday at- ternoon revoked the license of hack man named James Mooney. It seems that after the foot ball game last Sat urday Mooney carried party of stud- ents in his carriage from St. Arthony's s hall on College street to Union depot One of the students left a dress suit case in the carriage and Monday re- ported the matter to the police, not be- ing able to identify the hackman who had taken the party.
 The students also advertised re- ward for the return of the case. Mooney after that took the suit case to the po- lice station and wanted the reward. A few days ago a complaint was received at the police station that valuable umbrella had been left in Mooney car riage On account of these two com plaints the superintendent decided to revoke the license. The superintendent says that Mooney took no pains to find the owner of the articles left in his carriage and that he should have brought them 10 the police station ard saft them there for the owners.

Yales touchdown was secured after a S0- yard run by Enrich 19OOS. The cadets team have been practicing faithfully for several weeks past in preparation for this game and their work was quite creditable. The Yale team on the oth- CT hand has had almost no practice. Their offensive work was strong and they made good gains while the ball was in their possession, but lost it ire Quently on fumbles.

His coat is torn and patched with various colors of cloth, and his clothes generally look the worse for many years wear. His fea- lures look like an Indians. and he gives his name as Charles Eagle. No one here seems to know where he lives or sleeps during his travels, nor does he stop long in any one place. he generally has money to pay for his food.

CHICAGO UNIVERSITY DEFEATED
Western Football Championship Won
 by Michigan University.

Western Football Championship Won by Michigan University.
 Chicago, Nov. 24.-The western foot
 ball championship goes to Michigan university. On a field that was simply perfect for fast football and before a crowd of fully 12000 the maroon of Chi
 cago university went down before the
 maize and blue of Michigan university to-day by a score of F to Il. Michi-
 gan's score represents two touchdowns, goals being kicked in each instance. Chicago made one touchdown, goal
 and a goal from placement. Michigan's line, in which big holes were torn by the Northwestern university last Sat | urday, was impregnable to-day. Every
 one of Chicago's eleven points were
 made by Hershberger. He kicked a goal from placement on the forty-five- yard line and scored the touchdown and
 goal But his work was marred by the fact that he allowed himself to be
 drawn in on a mass play which resulted
 in the most spectacular feature of the
 game, sixty-five-yard run for a touchdown by Wideman. The work of the Michigan ends was beautiful. Chi
 cagos ends also did pretty work. Mich
 igan, with the exception of one or two
 double passes, relied almost altogether
 on straight football, line bucking and
 runs around the ends. Chicago used trick plays throughout. Touchdowns- For Michigan, Wideman 2; for Chicago, Hershberger. Goals kicked-Caley ?,
