FOOT BALL.
Practice of the Leading College
Teams of the Country.


The Bucknell University foot ball eleven
went to Philadelphia yesterday from Lew
sburg Pa, and started the foot ball en-
thusiasts by scoring twice on the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania team. PENIS score
was At: Bucknells, 10. The kicking OF
Mathewson, full back, for Bucknen, was
the finest seen in a long time as Buck
nells 10 points We're made by his kicking
two goals from the field. His long pun,s
almost rivaled those of Brooke, PENIS IA
nous full back, and his goal kicking was
not unlike that of Yale's one-time star,
William Bull
Both of Mathewson's goals were the re-
suit of penalties administered TO Pennsyl-
vania. Bucknell, in the first instance. was
given the ball in front Of PENIS goal for
interference by the Quakers. and Mathew
son put it over easily from the 25-yard line.
The second made Bucknell again
being given the ball on its opponents 30
yard line for offside playing and the Buck
rell full back again dropped it over
Harvard Defeats Bowdoin.
Harvard's foot ball eleven defeated Bow
doin yesterday at Cambridge by a score
of - to o, a closely contested game. Any
chance Bowdon had of scoring was lost by
the teams weakness in kicking. While
the Harvard kicking was superior 1t is not
yet satisfactory. Though Harvard found
no difficulty in getting through the Bow
dom line, costly fumbles and many penal
ties for offside play kept down her score.
In addition, the interference was often tam
gled up, owing to the slow starting of the
backs.

day and the practice was an improvement
over the day before. Short halves We're
played with the scrub, in which the var
sity scored four touchdowns. The half hol-
iday filled the bleachers with students. The

Yale shuts Out Trinity.
Yale easily defeated Trinity yesterday at
New Haven at foot ball, 46 to 0. The
visitors did not endanger the Yale goal.
There were no decided gains but once, when
Trinity's half back, Syphax broke through
between Yale's right end and tackle and
gained 10 yards. The Yale line, though
heavier and freshened by substitutions in
the second half, did not show the team
work or dash that might properly have
been expected.
Chicago University, %; Notre Dame, 9.
The University of Chicago eleven defeat
ed the Notre Dame University eleven on
6. Notre Dame scored a touchdown in
the first half on tumble by Shaker while
the ball was ON Chicago's 15-yard line,
Farley, picking 1t up and going over the
line. The game was remarkable for the
long runs made by Chicago backs, Hamill
in particular distinguishing himself. Twice
he carried the ball for touchdown once
from the 1Oo-yard line and again from the
10S-yard line. He was aided by beautiful
interference in both instances.
Racing at Morris Park.
The Autumn hurdle handicap and the
Hurricane selling stakes were the fixtures
at Morris Park yesterday. The first was
ruined by scratches. only three accepting,
and Semper Ego. at prohibitive odds, won
easily from Julius Caesar. In the Hurricane
King Bramble was a lukewarm favorite,
Coburg and Fleuron being equal second
choices. Jen made the running to the dip,
