KICKING IN THE MUD.
Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 11.-Harvard
beat Dartmouth today on Soldiers
Field. II 10 0. A drenching rain fell
before and during the game. In spite of
the utmost care, the field was a mass
of mud the slippery ball caused con-
slant fumbling, and spoiled all accurate
kicking. The weather kept DOWN Har-
Yards score, although Harvard played
a wretched game after the first two
minutes.
A BATTLE ROYAL.
Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. lin the
fiercest game played ON Franklin Field
this year, the University of Pennsylvania
football team this afternoon defeated the
University of Michigan eleven by the
close score of IL to 10.The game was
royal battle from start TO finish, and was
marked by both brilliant and poor play
ing by both teams. Pennsylvania earned
her victory because she had to play hard
er for her two touchdowns than did
Michigan. The Michigan team made
most of its gain on runs around Penn
sylvania's left end, which was lamenta-
bly, weak, while Pennsylvania had to
gain her ground by fierce plunging
through the line.
WRIGGLED FOR VICTORY
West Point, n Y, Nov lin
furious game of - and 20 minute halves,
Columbia defeated West Point by
score of 16 to o. on the parade ground
today. West Point played good game,
but was unable to prevent Weeks, Nor
ley and clarendon from forcing her line
and circling her ends for telling gains.
Weeks especially by his squirming,
wriggling, lodging tactics excited the
wonder of the spectators and the dis
comfiture of the Cadets. A light, steady
rain prevailed which made the ball hard
to hold and fumbling was a marked fea-
ture of the game.
