Trials of the supers.
From the Chambers Journal.)


Four-legged animals in drama are, of
course, a very common sight today. Al
though they are often of far more impOr-
tance than the mere super they have an
affinity to that class-for theirs is no speak
ing part, unless one counts the bark of q
dog as such. A little time ago the writer
met an actor who was taking the part OF a
villain In a play wherein big mastiff
seizes him at the back of the neck just
as he (the viIlain) is about to murder the
heroine. Nasty part that of yours. How
do you manage to escape nightly being
bitten by that big brute of a dog?"
Not nice part, 1t is true, he an
swered: but the dog is well trained. He
is kept without food for a few hours be-
fore the show A piece of cooked liver is
tied to my neck. He is held in the wings
till the cue comes; then he rushes onto
me for his supper, and the curtain goes
down on a very effective tableau, / don {
object to the dOg-it's the Ilver!'
The mention of stage dogs brings to mind
an amusing incident that occurred in
we'll known theatrical agents office last
summer In came a rough-looking little
man wearing checked suit that once used
to speak out for itself, but was now st-
lenced by Nhe heavy hand of time. The
man was followed by a dog of attractive
appearance The visitor said he did a
tramp act" assisted by the animal. Then
they gave an exhibition of themselves, and
were certainly above the average.
What are your terms?" the agent quer-
led.

The imitation tramp-but he was not far
off the real thing-looked with a sad re-
proachful eye at the agent and silently
backed out OF the Office, the dog meekly
following However, within few seconds,
the man returned quickly closing the door
to exclude his partner. who clamored to
get in 'I'll take It, he said, in a hurried
whisper Where's the contract? I'm real
broke, so it's a clear case of push but for

Captain Starbuck had the ball tucked
under his arm and was fairly over the goal
line. Lafayette's score was made near the
close of the first half by good, hard line
bucking and not a few brilliant runs
The game was played on a wet and sip
perry field, which gave Lafayette's rather
heavier line men the advantage. Again
and again the Cornell line would hold for
a moment and then their opponents would
fairly slide them along. When Cornell had
the ball she treated Lafayette in much the
same manner, but frequently lost ground

INDIANS FAIL TO SCORE.
An Almost FeatureIess Contest on
Columbia Field.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE famous Car
Isle Indians, who have been playing SEN
sational football this fall, were yanquished
at Columbia Field this afternoon by the
Princeton University eleven, the score be-
ing Y to O. after halls Of twenty-five min
utes each. Princeton had been regarded
as a sure winner so that the result was
not unexpected. But the fact that the In
dians were unable to score a point caused
some surprise among the experts who saw
the red men beat the University of Penn
syIyania and run up 10 points against
Harvard. The reason for the Indians fall
ure to score was solely due to the re-
markable defensive tactics of the Princeton
rush line. There was only one period in
the game when the red men made any large
gains in succession, and that was in the
second half, after Princeton had scored her
last six points. Hudson attempted to kick
a goal from the 35-yard line, but missed
the goal although he made a pretty drop
kick and sent the ball well toward the
posts.
While the Tigers were u1mistakable pow
erfuI in defence their attack was below the
usual standard. The coaches were greatly
disappointed because Princeton did not
make more than 70 points.

YALE's PRACTICE WORK.
Surprising Weakness in the oRens-
i've Tactics of Old Nassau.

NEW HAVEN, Nov 11.-Yale played the
last of her practice games this afternoon
with the eleven from Penn State College
and scored 42 points to nothing, The game
showed some surprising weaknesses in the
Yale offensive play. Twice with the ball
on the States 5-yard line, and once on the
10-yard line, they we're unable to push it
farther The splendid work in carrying the
ball up to those points seemed to vanish,
and the State held for downs This was
in the first half, and, notwithstanding these
bad spots, Yale scored five touchdowns be-
fore the half closed. In the second half
the State began working the guards back
play, and with the most disastrous results
TO themselves, for almost every attempt
was smashed and the runner thrown back
for big losses. Mcbride far outpunted Cure
and by this means constantly forced the
play into his opponents territory. Yale's
backs as a whole played splendidly and
in the last ten minutes went sweeping down
the field for two touchdOwns, carrying the
ball 45 and 65 yards respectively.
