ANOTHER SURPRISE.
r. A. C. Defeated Latrobe at Pittsburg
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
Pittsburg, Pa, November Pap. A.
c. 6; Latrobe 0. Inc above result put
the East End in great humor and to-
night celebrations are numerous.
The score by P. A. G. was made
within seven minutes after the game
started. 1t was accomplished by good
hard work in bucking the line and
forcing Latrobe to its own cole line,
where Roller carried the ball over for
a touchdown. Latrobe had but one
good chance to score, and then lost the
ball on a tumble by LANCE.
The game was made up of fumbles
ande rratiC playing on the part OF
members of both teams, and this was
helped along materially by the frozen
condition Of the field. When one team
got a good start they just pushed the
other team along for heavy gains, the
opponent failing to get the ps.per hold
on the ice that covered everything.
The crowd that turned out to wit
ness the game somewhat surprised the
managers, fully $500 paying for admis-
sion.
Captain Boyle, of P. A. c., was mixed
up in every play and worked like q
beaver lOi the SuCCeSS VI MS lSet4A'
Captain Bull, of Latrobe, was not at
his best He fumbled on many occa-
sions and lost his head at critical
stages.
Gass was by far the star of the game,
catching kicks with great accuracy,
running with excellent Judgment and
speed, and escaping tackles with con-
summate skill. Cass carried the ball
on a great run of so yards to the P. A..
C. vineyard line during the second half
and gave his team it's only opportunity
TO score And here is where Lang
fumbled and Cartwright fell on the
ball for a loss of five yards. Among
the other star players were Roller
Lowry, Marsh, Cartwright and Van
Duser for P. A. c., and Trenchard, Nc
Kenzie and Geiger for Latrobe.

CATHEDRAL HIGH SCHOOL
Won IL Victory Yesterday Against Superior
Veirht and strength.

weight ana strength.
Among the many pretty games Of
foot ball that were played in this Vi
entity yesterday, none was jraught with
more excitement and good all around
playing than that between the Cathe-
dral High school and Elm Grove. Al
though the boys from Elm Grove had
an average of fifteen or twenty pounds
greater to a man than the Cathedral
boys, yet the city boys had science and
speed on their side, and as is generally
the case, the latter won.
The game started off with Elm Grove
kicking The ball was carried back a
short distance and was steadily adj
vanced by short gains to within twenty
yards of Elm Groves line. Here the
ball was lost on downs and Elm Grove
carried it by short rushes back to the
centre Of the field. The Cathedral boys
here regained possession OF the ball. On
a double pass from end to end, Ryan
carried the ball thirty yards. Cochran,
Muffany and Rock made several good
gains, and with the ball on the Groves
two-yard line time for the first half
was called.
In the second half shortly after play
was resumed, Ryan on tumble car
ried the ball sixty yards for a touch
down. The play throughout the half
was in the Groves feld. Muffany
Rock, Corcoran and REILLY did elegant
back work, while the forward play of
Welty. Gilligan, Michigan, Truschel
Gundling and Lally was exceedingly
strong. The score remained 6 to in
favor Of Cathedral

BOWLING.

The prize bowling yesterday at
Fette's alleys was a success in every re-

city were out trying for the prizes
which were tempting indeed, and as
there were no extra charges for enter

result. A large crowd will go out and

which Captain Theurer gained fifteen
yards and the Washington county con
tingent went almost crazy. Their Joy,
however, was short lived, as Duquesne
soon got the ball on downs and kicked
it back into safe territory.
The only time during the entire con-
test that the Duquesne team displayed
real form was in that part of the sec
ond half when perfect interference
carried Gammons through the Wash
ington and Jefferson line, and down
the field for 42-yard run and touch
Town. This was the star play of the
game, and it set the admirers of the
DuQueSne eleven wild with excite
ment. The game was one in which
there was very little fumbling done,
the players making sure of the ball and
holding on to it with vise-like grip. 1t
was also remarkably free from acct
dents, the only player to need the as
sistance OF the trainer being Matthews,
the Washington and Jefferson full
back, who during the first five minutes
of play, got bump that took the wind
out of him, but he was soon brought
around all right.
For Duquesne the principal ground
gamers were Gammons and Jackson,
while the tackling OF Colbert and the
line play of Church, Lawler and Smith
was of the finest order. For Washing
ton and Jefferson Coach Billings was
salt a team in himself. He was mixed
up in every play and when given the
ball was sure for good gain. Captain
Theurer also played great ball and he
was given able assistance by Thomp-
son. The collegians on the whole put
up a remarkably good game, and while
defeated were not at all disgraceed.

high above and squarely between the
goal posts. Twice he missed a goal
by the narrowest of margins from the
sixty-yard line and made another from

BRAY WON TIE GAME
For Lafayette Snatching Victory from the
Teeth OF Lehigh.

Easton, Pa, November 24.-On field
covered with three inches OF snow,
Full Back Ned Bray this afternoon
snatched victory from the very teeth
Of Lehigh, and won the championship
for Lafayette. Never in the history OF
Lafayette did two teams line UP on a
field On such a day. The storm ragged
furiously, sending gusts of snow across
the gridiron so dense that it was dllil-
cult at times to see the players from
the grand stand. The first half of the
game was in Lehigh's favor with a
score of 5 to 0. Lehigh from the mo-
ment the ball was put into play resort
ed TO a kicking game and kept the pig
skin in Lafayette territory and dan
gerously close to the goal line most
of the time. With the game going
against his team Bray could not remain
in the gymnasium, and came out at
the beginning of the second half. He
did the kicking for Lafayette and time
and again sent the bail to within a
yard or two of Lehigh's goal line. La
fayette made a touchdown and Chal-
mers kicked a goal. A few minutes
later Bray sent the DIAL between the
posts on a place kick Nrom the 40-yard
line During the remainder of the
battle the ball was never out of Le-
highs territory. The final score was
Lafayette IL; Lehigh 5.

c. Eleven.
Pittsburg, Pa, November 24.-Fully
5000 people shivered ana shouted at
Exposition Park to-day during the
game between the Duquesne Country
and Athletic Club and Washington
Jefferson eleven. The score was Du-
quesne, Ii; Washington-Jeffe 0.
The game itself was not the kind
which either side could brag much
about, because there have been faster
and prettier contests this season.
Neither was it the kind of game that
the spectators like TO see, because there
was entirely too much mass playing
and it was therefore difficult for any
one outside of an expert 10 follow the
ball. 1t was evident from the start
that the Washington-Je fferson eleven
had been drilled strongly on defensive
work, and the college eleven had profit
ed by experience against the States
eleven last week, and spent the inter-
vening time in studying how to stop
the guards back formations and in a
manner they were successful. 1t did
not take the Duquesne players long to
discover a weakness IN the Washing
ton-Jefferson makeup, which was On
its ends, and the way they went around
them was a caution. They also man
aged to break line with frequency for
good gains II is a fact that there was
never moment when the college
eleven looked the least bit dangerous
In the first and only time the ball was
in Duquesne territory was on the kiclas.
In the second half they managed to
get the ball To Duquesne's 36-yard line.
but could get it no further. This shows
that the Washington county rooters
had little or no chance to display their
enthusiasm. Once in the second half
the visitors worked a trick plIy by

played under more unfav0rable condi-
lions both as to the field and the
weather The wind, which had been
blowing strong from the northeast
nearly all day, suddenly shifted to the
west a few minutes before the game
started, and instead of persistent driz-
zling rain a snow storm of almost
blizzard proportions set in and con-
tinued without a let-up until the ga-Se
had been concluded.
When the Cornell team trotted on
the field at 2:04 it was seen that Charlie
Young, who played such a brilliant
game with the carnelian and white
last year, was in his foot ball toys, and
was down on the card as one OF the
half-backs for the Ithaca boys.
From spectacular point of view, the
game was a weary one to look at.
The wretched condition of the field
made it almost an impossibility to ex-
ecute long runs, and coach Woodruff's
famous guards back" formation was
rendered almost useless simply because
the men could not get enough SOLID
foothOld to get under way. Then,
too, it was absolutely impossible to
prevent binding and to do accurate
kicking.
Hare's two dismal attempts at kick
ing the ball out of danger when it was
within a few feet of the red and blue
goal line in the first half, caused the
first score, and c. Young's kick, which
went almost parallel with the yard
lines right into Hedges hands, was
responsible for Pennsylvania second
touchdown. Hedges had a clear field
and the touchdown, was easy.
The first half closed with the score
to in favor of Cornell.
During the last fifteen minutes OF
the first half the ball had been kept
in Pennsylvania territory, because OF
Hare's failure to punt more than Is or
20 yards. C. Young, who did the punt
ing for the visitors, gained from 10 to
20 yards in this half on each exchange
of punts.
In the second half things were differ
ent. When the Pennsylvania players
went into their dressing room they
exchanged the wet heavy suits they
had been wearing for new, dry ones,
and when they reappeared on the grid
iron with their dry clothes and the
wind in their favor, everybody eX-
pected that they would redeem them
selves.
This they did in measure, carrying
the ball down the field by steady
plunges, varied with an occasional end
run, to Cornell's 25 yard line, from
where Cutland carried it over for
touchdown on delayed pass.
The play during the second half was
almost entirely in Cornell's territory,
the carnelian and white being forced
to play on the defensive nearly the en-
tire half. Both teams relied almost
wholly on straight foot ball.
The rough weather had no apparent
effect on the attendance at the game.
By 2 o'clock there were about 10000
people in the huge amphitheatre.
Neither did the severe storm dampen
their ardor, for there was an inces-
SAINT yelling, kept up from the time
the ball was kicked off at 2:O9 until
time was called for the end OF the
game.
The teams lined I'D as follows:

evening in every direction. The Span
iards were informed of the insurgents
intention to capture two magazines
outside the fortifications at Manila and
Santa Mesa. southward and westward
of the city. Therefore they concen-
trated their forces for q supreme effort

the insurgents captured Malamon and

Spaniards were thus outwitted. out
