THE INDIANS VS.. HARVARD.
Wet Grounds and Heavy Mist MT
Cambridge Field.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, October 2S.-With
the prestige Of a victory over Pennsylvania
and a reputation for always playing hard
foot ball. the Carlisle Indians met the Har-
ward team on Soldiers Field this after
noon on field wet by nights rain. The
crowds braved heavy mist to witness the
contest, which. 1t was expected, would be
almost as exciting a game with Yale,
and which, moreover, would show to some
degree what might be expected Of Harvard
in the game with Pennsylvania next week.
An hour before the time for the game to
begin the avenues leading to the field were
filled with undergraduates and others in
terested In the game, including many la
dies, clad in red coats, or carrying GRIM
son devices for showing their sympathes.
1t was expected that Harvard would win.
but the strongest supporters of Harvard
hardly seemed to dare to express the be-
lief that the Indians would not score, Each
team was given good reception as it came
on the field and spent few minutes in roll
ing over the foot ball in practice.
The lineup 8 follows.

MUD ON MARSHALL FIELD
Chicago and Pennsylvania Teams Will Have
Heavy Going.
Poor Prospect for Brilliant Playing in
commemorative of
the Teams.

CHICAGO, October 2S.-Under leaden
skies and on a gridiron that only many
carloads OF sawdust and shavings saved
from being a quagmire, the foot ball elev-
ems of the Universities of Pennsylvania and
Chicago lined up this afternoon. 1t was
the first time that one of the eastern Big
Four teams had ever played in the west,
and this fact drew thousands to Marshall
Field in spite of occasional showers and a
cold, disagreeable wind that blew without
ceasing. Since Thursday morning a driz-
zling rain has been falling with scarcely a
let-up, and notwithstanding every effort
to protect and drain the gridiron, the field
was In a condition that rendered clean,
snappy foot ball almost out of the question
The clay was soft and sticky, and the mem
bers of both elevens had taken the pre-
caution of putting extra long cleats on
their shoes to prevent slipping as much as
possible But 1t was almost foregone
conclusion before the referees whistle
sounded for play to begin both teams had
to depend almost entirely on line bucklng
for gains, the more spectacular feature OF
foot ball. runs around the ends, being
almost impossible on account of the slip
perry condition of the ground.
Little Difference in Weight.
When the two elevens lined up for the
kickoff there was little advantage as far
as team weight concerned, but the
weight of Pennsylvania men was more
evenly distributed, and this and the great
improvement that has taken place in their
work since their arrival here Thursday
made the fasteners slight favorites.
The average weight of the Chicago team
was 1S2 pounds, that of Pennsylvania being
ISL. But Pennsylvania averaged 1S5 in the
line, against 1873 for Chicago, and here the
superiority of the Quakers was expected to
count the most on the soft field. Chicago's
hope of success lay in the almost perfect
team work and the quickness with which
the ball was put into play. The offensive
work of the Maroons. with their fast heavy
backs has been the best this year ever
shown. and every man on the team was
confident Of winning. With Pennsylvania
it was a case of do or die. With a POSSIBLE
ity Of a severance of relations with Har-
ward as a result of defeat by Chicago, the
men were keyed to the highest pitch, and
determined to win at all hazards.
Many Rioters Present.
A large crowd Of rooters for the red and
blue arrived here yesterday from Philadel-
phia, and the section of the stand on the
east side of the field set apart for the
Pennsylvania adherents was well filed with
gaily bedecked admirers of the Quakers.

A reference to the statement be-

sworn to is a bona-fide one.
1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
Users, by sending out thousands of
papers to newsstands which are re-
turnabie, and which are, in fact, re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
ciuded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
judge by results, and bogus circula-
tons don't give them.
