GOOD GAME AT NEWARK
HAVERFORD WINS FROM DELLA
WARE BEFORE LARGE CROWD.

Delaware College, at Newark on Sat |
urday sent in a badly crippled team
against tho big Haverford team. Time
after time play was stopped to allow
q Delaware man TO have an old injury
dressed Mitchell, the Delaware guard,
suffered from a wrenched knee, which
he got in practice game Huxley had
confused head which was bumped
often, and prevented him from makingl
the good plays OF which he is capable
Wolf could not kick because OF al
wrenched knee, Huxley doing the
and, besides. Wolf was handi-
capped by q sprained wrist. Trotter
was unable to get into hard tackling
because of bruised shoulder sustain
ed IN practice, and his inability cost
enc touchdown, at least.
Haveriord on the other hand, was
10 fine fettle. This is the identical
team that beat the University OF Penn
sylvania two weeks ago in practice
game. and weighed nearly twenty
pounds TO a man heavier than the Del
awareans.
Haverford scored on the first line
up. Hall running fifty yards, being
missed by Wolf who slipped in his ef-
tort to catch the fleeing Haverfordian.
After this Delaware's goal was not
menaced during the half Huxley, for
Delaware. from the thirty-hye yard
line, missed a field goal. This was the
nearest that Delaware came to scoring
The heavy weight and mass plays
told on Delaware in the second half,
but her injured men fought pluckily.
Havorford scored three touchdowns,
frsm which two goals were kicked.
Hall, Chambers, Fox and Captain Mif-
fin played a great game for Haver-
ford. r. Cam, r. Cam, Captain Hart
uann and Huxley eXcelled for Della
ware.

the game including visitors from Elk

Chester county The lineup:

SpORTING NOTEs-

Hall, Of Haverford, is a promising
athlete OF over six feet in height, and
weighs 1870 pounds He was a candi-
date fer half-back on the Harvard
team last year, and would have prob
ably made it this year had he gone
back TO Cambridge Hall runs fast and
is hard TO tackle. He holds the Haver-
ford championship record at shot-put-
ting, and has a track record Of ten sec
onds for a hundred yards dash.

strikes the lay mind with awe. Mount
Everest, that stupendous Himalayan
peak whose summit scars far above the
usmost efforts of even the most devoted
mountaineers, virgin fastness mocking
mans soaring ambition, if sunk in the
ocean at the spot just mentioned would
disappear until it's highest point was
two thousand feet below the surface.
Yet out of that abyss rises the volcanic
mass of Sunday Island in the Kerma-
decs, whose crater Is probably two thou
Sond feet above the sea level. But in
no less than forty three areas visited
by the Challenger depths Of over three
thousand fathoms have been found, and
their total area is estimated al 7,152, 900
square miles or about per cent of the
total water surface of the globe Within
these deeps are found many lower deeps,
strangely enough generally in compare
lively close proximity to land, such as
Tuscarora Deep near Japan, one III the
Banda Sea, that is to say, in the heart
of the East India Archipelago, etc.
Down, down into these mysterious
waters the ingenious sounding machine
runs taking out its four miles and up
ward of pianoforte wire until the sud
den stoppage of the swift descent marks
the dial on deck with the exact number

of fathoms reached. And yet 50 vast
is the ocean bed that none can say with
any certainty that far greater depths
may not yet be found than any that
have hitherto been recorded, amazing
as they are,
The character of the ocean floor at all
these vast depths, as revealed by the
sounding tube, bringing specimens to
the surface, is identicaI-red clay
which strikes the fancy queerly, as be-
ing, according to most ancient legends,
the substance out of which our first
ancestor was builded and from whence
he derived his name. Mingled with this
primordial ooze is found the debris of
once living forms, many of them of
extinct species, or species at any rate
that have never come under mans OBJ
servation except as fossils. The whole
story, however, demands far more space
than can be allowed but one more in
stance must be given of the wonders
of the seabed in conclusion. Let a
violent storm dsplace any considerable
body of warm surface water, and 10!
to take it's place up rises an equal
volume of cold under layers that have
been resting far below the influence of
the sun, Like a pestilential miasma,
these chill waves seize upon the myriads

destroy it, causing endless labor of re-
placement by the never resting cable
ships. But this Isl only one of the many
deeply interesting features of oceano-
graphy, a science of comparatively re-
cent growth, but full of gigantic posi-
bilties for the future knowledge Of this
planet. The researches of the Challeng-
er expedition, embodied in fifty portly
volumes, afford a vast mass of material
for discussion, and yet it is evident that
what they reveal is but the merest ten
tative dipping into the great mysterious
land that lies hidden far below the level
surface of the inscrutable SEA.
That veteran man of science, Sir John
Murray, has in a recent paper (Royal
Geographical Society's Journal" Oc-
tober) published his presidential ad-
dress to the geographical section of the
British Association at Dover, and even
to the ordinary scientific reader his
wonderful resume of what has been
done in the way of exploring the oceans
depth mush be as enhancing as a fairy
tale. The mere mention of such a
chasm as that existing in the South Pa
cific between the Kermadecs and the
Friendly Islands, where a depth of 5,155
fathoms, or $50 feet more than five geo.

The Anglo-American Company Is one
| principal agent between this country
and the seat Of war, charging sl.23 per
word for dispatches to either Durham
or Cape Town. It's wires end at Lon
don, 1t is true, but It receives and trans
mlts dispatches through the Eastern
company to the Cape. The Eastern
company controls two cable routes:
one by way Of Lisbon, Gibraltar NAL
Ia. Alden and the east coast Of Africa
to Durham; the other by the west coast
TO Cape Town. The former route ia
by far the more used, and as telegrams
in enormous numbers go by the same
cables to points lying between London
and Alden, a great deal Of unnecessary
labor Is spared the government censors
as well as a great deal Of unnecessary
delay to business, by establishing the
censorship at Aden rather than fur
sorship has been made in reference to
any point on the west coast route. but
1t Is pretty certain that, since the route
Is in connection with both Lisbon and
Cadlz, the authorities at Cape Town
will take good care OF all messages to
South Africa which come that way.
How the details OF the cenorship are
to be managed at Alden there is no
means Of ascertalnlng here. In the
Sp1nlsh-American war all dispatches
for cuba handed in at the offices had
10 be VIsed by the military staff officer
r charge. At Aden the only effective
way viii be to have the circuit inter
rupted, 50 that every telegram must
BE- there taken off the wires and put
IN after due confederation by a staff
,ficer, who viii, no doubt, be repre-
tented in the operators office by q
ion-commissioned officer.
