The third week of the Wheeling tour
nament was finished last Friday even
ing with games between the Emigrant
and All Alike teams.
The standing of the teams has chang
ed considerably in the last week. The
All Alikes were first at this time last
week. and now they are tied with
three other teams for second place,
while the Rough Riders slid into first
by the small margin of one game. The
kissing Bugs, by losing three to Norte-
mans Oceolas, went from fifth to sixth,
in fact, changing places with the
Oceolas. The All Rooters, K. x. KS,
Kenmores and De Shack teams are
holding exactly the same places they
claimed last Sunday. 1t is yet too early
for the public to form an opinion as to
how teams will finish, as they really
have not yet settled down to business,
the captains not wishing to slight any
Of their players by passing them by,
and are giving them all a chance so as
to find the strong and weak spots, and
some captains have really not given the
race much thought as yet, for they
have not commenced hunting for re-
spectacle position Knowing well the
strength behind them they don't worry,
but will be heard from later on.
Last weeks performance started with
games between the X. K. K. team and
the ex-strong Wheelings, the latter win
ming two games and thereby causing

WASHINGTON, Pa, October I'll
Washington & Jefferson found the West
Virginia University an easy proposition
this afternoon, defeating them in two
25-minute halves by a score of 20 to 0.
w. & j. outclassed the mountain boys
at every point and put up excellent
offensive and defensive work. The in
reference of the home team was the
best seen on the home grounds this
season. 1t worked like charm and
with Thompson, Theurer, Mcfarland in
the interference the backs were able
to make repeated gains through West
Virginia's line. In the first half w. & J.
secured four touch-downs and simply
ripped the visiting team to pieces. In
the second half West Virginia took a
brace and held w. & ]. down to one

Wisconsin line for short gains, but on
the lineup Yale lost the ball for inter-
ference. For six or seven trials Yale
bucked the Badger line for slight gains.
Then the ball seesawed back and forth
for several rushes until Yale gained
possession of it and Mcbride made as
good a kick as any of his filters dur
ing the game. Wilmarth, on WiscOn-
sins 45-yard line, tried to gether it in
but muffed it, and Thomas was upon
him, taking the ball on the bounds and
netted Yale a handsome gain. Odea
fumbled McBride's kick on Wisconsin'S
25-yard line, and Schwepper repeated
Thomas performance. Odea tried the
rush line by sending them down to the
middle of the field after punt, where
Yale had hard work rushing the ball
back. On an exchange Odea let the
ball roll across his goal lines where
White picking up, both Yale ends grab
bed him. Failing to wriggle away from
them Odea made a fierce pass at
Thomas. On the kick out Yale got the
ball, but the half was over.
The second half opened with Brown
kicking the ball to Chamberlain on
the 10-yard line. 1t was carried back
by a brilliant run by the right halfback
10 the middle Of the field. Wisconsin's
try at Yale's center failed, for Cunha, Oh
colt and Brown were impregnable. The
Badger backs tried the ends for short
gains and then between left guard and
tackle. Odea dropped back for kick,
but Goddon Brown was through his OPP
ponent and blocked it, Mcbride made
a splendid punt to Odea on his ten
yard line and it looked like magnifi-
cent opportunity to return the oval, but
Thomas again was upon the Badger
and threw him so hard that the big full
back lay winded for a few moments.
Odea recovered possession of his wind
and lifted the pigskin just as the wind
caught it and it went soaring high in
the air for So yards, the Yale spectators
applauding the brilliant punt.
Richards was put into the game in
the second half and at once began to
make himself felt His short, sharp
rushes netted Yale many yards. But
when the ball finally went to Wincon
sin, Odea astonished the crowd by a
60-yard punt, which Sharpe misjudged

marched I'D the field steadily for long
gains, bowling over their opponents.
Richards found soft spots through
tackle and ends for twenty yards, ten
yards and seven more, until on Yale's
45-yard line, Richards got the ball and
behind good interference sped down the
field. Peele and Chamberlain caught
him by the legs, but both failed to hold
him, and Wilmarth was bowled over
with a shove of the extended arm.

him. The fourth man sped down the
field and actually got his hands on Rich

forward for five yards. Brown kicked

Yale territory with Yale rushing It
back when the referee signalled that
time was IN.

OBERLIN DEFEATED.

CHICAGO, October 21-In a game
that was marked with frequent scoring
and Oberlin's inability to stop Chicago
fierce rushes on mass plays, Chicago
won by a score of IS to 0. Only in the
last half did the Ohio men show
strength, and then only to work the ball
to Chicago's fifteen yard line. where
they lost it on downs. Oberlin won the
toss and chose the wind. Fell kicked 10
Oberlins fifteen yard line, where it was
fumbled and Chicago got the ball, and
with continuous line bucking the ball
was pushed over for the first touch
down. Henry kicked an easy goal
Score: to 0.
After this Chicago had everything its
own way, and tearing through Ober-
Inns line wore out their opponents be-
fore the first half was over and scored
almost at will. With perfect interfer-
ence, Hamill broke through the entire
Oberlin line for so yards and touch
down. This was the longest run of the
game. Hamill, Shaker and Henry dis
tinguished themselves by making long
runs
Chicago time and again made big
gains by trick plays and the delayed
pass was worked for long runs. Ober-
lin had the ball but four times through
out the game, and then lost it by inabil-
ity to make the necessary five yards.
In the last half the maroons took things
easy and working the ball steadily
down towards Oberlin's goal tried some
new play, Henry trying three place
tricks and being only successful the third
time, when he sent the ball between the
goal posts. Many of the Oberlin men
were completely tagged out, and in
tackling they often fell to the ground
exhausted. The Chicago men looked as
fresh at the end as when they started.

York amply proved that he has over
come his habit of fouling and is now as
fair fighter as is in the ring Another
point that his admirers regard as being
in his favor is that he has been for
many months in the hands of Tom
O'Rourke, than whom no shrewder
handler or trainer of pugilists is now
living. Impartial critics declare that it
is worth a good deal for a man to have
O'Rourke in his corner as adviser dur

knowledged to be the cleverest living
