HARVARD'S WORK
The Chicago A. G. Pi Proved q
Easy for Crimson Players.

Cambridge, Oct. .22.-Harvard defeat
ed the Chicago athletic team on Sol
diers field, this afternoon, by tae score
of 80 to 0. Twenty-Five and twenty
minute halves were played Dibblee
crossed the line five times for Harvard
in the first half and Reid once, maxi
ing with Haughton's four goals, "a
points. Dibblee scored the only touch
down in the second half.
The game showed up Harvard's
stronger points at their best, and also
revealed the weak ones. The feature
of Harvards play was the team work
of Dibblee and Daily in the back field.
Time and again, when Dibblee got the
ball. he was able to make long gains
by Days blocking. Dibblees work
was the most wonderful that he has
shown up to this time. AS Chadwick
of Yale expresses it, he hypnotized the
whole field of tackles and succeeded in
finding the narrowest holes to squeeze
through for long gains. Harvard de-
pended mostly ON plays around the end
and on kicking. Daily showed excellent
Judgment in kicking out of touch, and
this saved his ends many a hard
tackle.
Chicago was practically unable to
make any gains at all until the middle
of the second half, when the Crimsons'
left gave way before the hanmering
of Wellington and GRADER, aided by the
line work of Huddleson and Byrnes.
who were put fresh into the line in
place Of Kirkoff and Baeder
Harvard's weak points were mostly
in the open field. Very poor inter-
ference on receiving the kickoff, en-
a.bled Chicago's ends to prevent the
Harvard runner from gaining. Haugh-
ton proved a disappointment. He
showed only ordinary form in the line,
where he is usually at his best, and
made a wretched failure Of kicking.
Warren, at right half, played his best
game. and showed the results of Dib-
blee's example in lodging. DAILY ran
his team for all it was worth, and was
very largely responsible for the rapid
scoring in the first. half. 9nBoth teams
fumbled badly on account of the slip

fumbles were the most costly.

Woodruff's Pets Shut Out Lafayet,es and
Score 81 Points


Philadelphia, Oct. 22-The University
of Pennsylvania eleven defeated the
Lafayette kickers today by the score
of 30 to 0. The Pennsylvania fumbled
wretchedly, but this was to a great
extent due TO bad passing of their cen
ter and a tslippery ball. McCloskey,
who took Overield's position at CEN
ter usually snapped the ball as high
as the quarterback 5 head. which made
it very difficult to handle. The field
was ankle-deep with mud, and it was
almost impossible for the men to get
started.
The Lafayettes could make but lit
tie impression on Pennsylvania line
only getting their distance once during
the entire game. The red and blue
pushed the Easton boys all over the
field, but almost invariably lost the ball
on a tumble when within10 to Is yards of
Lafayette goal. The team lined up as

the Millbury c. Y. NJ. L. resulted in a tie
after 40 minutes of fast and rough play.
The Milford team was strengthened by
Robb and Doyle of the Marlboro Y. M.
C. A., while the Millbury team played
their regular team. The teams were well
matched in floor play, but Milford played
a superior passing game. Delaney of the
AIfllburys was injured in the first half

The FIRST half ended with score of 4
to f. the Millburys scoring on a goal from
the field and two free tries by Hehir while
the Milfords gained their points by fine
throws from the field
The second half was very fast, all the
men being very tired. The Milfords had
fine chance to win the game in the last
two minutes, on free throw from foul
called on Delaney. but the usually certain
Kynock failed and the game resulted
in a tie as the Milford team could not

YORKSHIRE POST.
One of England's Best Informed Pa
pers. Says Russia is Alarmed at
Anglo-American Friendship

LONDON, May 6-The Yorkshire Post,
most influential newspapers in the king
dom, referring to the efforts of certain
powers to induce Great Britain to recon
slider her determination not to take part
in any intervention between Spain and
the United States, says
America would rightly resent any in
reference at all resembling Europe in
reference with the Sultan. If the con-
tinental powers attempted it, they would
be confronted by an alliance between the
United States and Great Britain. They
are well aware of this and Russia, which
has always cultivated the friendship of
the United States, which she hoped to
enlist against Great Britain in case of
need, is already anXiously regarding the
action of the Marquis of Salisbury and
President Mckinley, asking herself what
will be the change in the aspect of ques-
tons in the Far East if the United States
departing from her traditional policy, is
determined to retain possession of the
Philippine islands.
1t is therefore practically certain that
the powers will not intervene for Spain
unless this country acts in concert with
them, and there will be no movement
upon the Marquis of Salisburys part
without a complete prior understanding
with President Mckinley"

Charleston, W. Va, May 6.-The
drenching rain which was falling all
day made it exceedingly unpleasant
for the State troops at Camp Lee. The
work of examining the men and mus
tering them in was pushed with vigor.
Company M, of Moundsville, under
Captain Humphreys, the last on the
list, was the first to be examined. 1t
will be the crack company of the reg
iment. 1t is company of picked men.
Capt. Humphreys had 125 men to pick
his company from, and he chose none
except fine specimens of manhood. He
presented a list Of ninetytwo to the
examining physicians, and only eight
failed to pass. This left eighty-four,
the exact number required
The mastering in of company NJ pre-
scented an impressive scene and Capt
Humphreys was proud of the honor
of commanding the first company of
West Virginia volunteers to be sworn
into the service of the United States.
The company was marched out into
the open, near the headquarters of
Lieut.. Settle. They were commanded
TO BARE THEIR HEADS,
and Lieut.. Settle read to them the
oath. Each man and officer of ccm-
pany NJ removed his cap, elevated his
right hand, and in the presence Of the
regimental and other officers, in uni
son assented to the following oath.
and afterwards one at time sub
scribed their names to the muster-in
roll:
"All and each of you do solemnly
swear that you will bear true faith and
allegiance 10 the United States OF
Am erica and that- you will serve
! them honestly and faithfully against
all their enemies, whomsoever, and
that you will obey the orders of the
President of the United States, and
the OIueTS OF the OIHcefS appointed
over you, according to the rules and
articles of war"
This oath will -oe administered to all
the officers and men,
When company M stood with barred
heads in the driving rain, and listened
to the impressive oath administered
by the officers in solemn tones, there
was not face in the command which
did not bear a serious expression, and
it was evident that none looked upon
the matter lightly
Capt. Humphreys has an exception
ally good set of men, and they will
make brave soldiers
Company G, of Charles Town, will
be the next mustered in, which will be
done tomorrow.
Only twenty new recruits arrived at
