CHICAGO
TIES WITH
QUAKERS
A More Desperate Struggle
Seldom Seen on a Foot
ball Field.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Chicago 5, Pennsylvania S.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-The football eleven
Of the University of Pennsylvania barely
escaped defeat at the hands Of the Uni
versity Of Chicago eleven in a game in
which more desperate playing has sell
dom been seen. The final score was a
tie, both sides scoring a touchdown in
the second half, and neither kicking a
goal. Total, to 5. Better football, so far
as clean, snappy playing is concerned, has
been seen in the two or three games here
this season, but for sheer gameness, for
rallies when to yield the least bit would
result in a touchdown and for situations
tending to produce heart disease, the
game was certainly remarkable.
Five times the Chicago elevent had op-
portunities to score-twice by place kIcK-
ing with the ball in a favorable position
and three times getting the pigskin inside
Of Pennsylvania's 5-yard line. But only
once were the MaroonS able to get the
ball over the goal line and that was done
when 1t seemed almost certainty.
Through poor generalship on the part
of Captain Kennedy Of Chicago in at
tempting to send Shaker through Penn
sylVania's S left guard he lost the ball for
Chicago on downs when it was within two
and when, finally, few moments later
Wellington was pushed over for the tie
ing touchdown. the Chicago captain
missed an easy goal.
1t was his attempt at fake kick. too,
that ultimately resulted in Pennsylvania S
score, Kennedy dropping the ball when
tackled and Pennsylvania securing 1t on
Chicago's 4S-yard line. With Chicago's s
goal line in sight Pennsylvania big
guards tore the Maroon line to pieces and
Davidson was finally pushed o--er. But
Chicago's goal line was not again in
danger.
Early in the first half Chicago discov-
cred that Pennsylvania left end was
weak and time and time again Hamill and
wellington got around for substantial
gains. But with the ball within a Yard
of the goal line Pennsylvania made the
most desperate stand of the game. Three
times the line held. and when the mass
of players untangled after the last down
the ball was still a foot from the line
danger, and when time was called the
ball was on Chicago's 45-yard line.
Chicago's all around playing was supe-
rior to that Of the Quakers The latter
were utterly unable to get around the
Maroons' end, and in the first half were
frequently held for down even when using
the dreaded guards back play, which has
brought victory to the red and blue in
many games. In the second half, how
ever. the awful hammering told severely
in the Chicago forwards, and during the
second series of plays which resulted in
Pennsylvania's touchdown thew were
played off their feet. Most of the time
during the second half the ball was we'll
within Pennsylvania territory, and only
the fiercest kind of playing by the well
nigh exhausted Quakers saved them from
defeat

line. Again the ball became red and the
cardinal host renewed the onslaught
against the California line. The tackles
were hammered as If an anvil chorus
were at work for a prize. The center was
smashed and the ends were circled.
Nearer and nearer came the cardinal front
to the California goal and noisier and
noisier became the Stanford contingent
on the bleachers. But this time 1t was
not an accident that stopped the Stan
ford advance. On the thirty-yard line the
California freshmen gumued their line
and stuck fast. Thrice they were assailed
by the Stanford backs and thrice did they
beat back the attack. 1t was the first
time that California's defense proved
operative and successful.
Then the fortunes Of war changed. a
long punt by Valentine and a tumble by
a redshirt gave California the pigskin
at the center of the field. Another punt
followed and when Stanford regained pos

LOSES TO
COLUMBIA
Yale Defeated in a Stubborn
Game Of Football on
Manhattan Field.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Oct 2S-At Manhattan
Field to-day, in a game that was fiercely
contested throughout, the football eleven
of Columbia defeated that of Yale by a
score of to 0. In addition to this Column
bia carried the ball across Yales line two
more times in the same half, neither of
which was allowed as score because of
some technicality. The referee classed
the latter play as a touchback and gave
Yale full kick from her twenty-five ward
line. This was of no avail, however, as
Weeks carried the ball over again for a
touchdown on the first lineup after this
kick. 1t was a beautiful run of about
forty-five yards, in which Weeks dodged
several of the Yale players, including
Captain Mcbride, and carried the bali
squarely between the goal posts Wilson
made poor try at an easy goal and the
score was: Columbia 5, Yale 0. Thus
ended the game, with the ball in the
middle of the field.
The weather certainly favored the snec-
tators much more than the PLAYERS and
that the men were able to last such a
rapid game on such a sultry day speaks
well for the physical condition of ali

HARVARD
DEFEATS
CARLISLE
Indians Succeed in Scoring
en- Points Against
the Crimson.
Harvard 22, Carlisle 10.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 2S.-While
Harvard had no difficulty in disposing of
the famous Carlisle Indian eleven this
afternoon on Soldiers field, the crimson
players were unable to keep little Hud-
son from kicking his customary goal from
the field and a wretched muff by Girasch
early in the game, followed by quick
pickup by Red Water, who ran fifty yards
for a touchdown, gave the visitors five
more points, making the final score %
to 10.
There was bad fumbling by the Harvard
backs at times and during the latter part
of the game the Indians, discovering a
weak spot in the crimson line, hammered
there for steady gains until the thirty
yard line was reached After two downs
without result Hudson drove the ball be-
tween the goal posts.
The little Indian quarterback, however,
did not have all the kicking honors to
himself, for Burnett made fine goal from
a place kick on the Indians fifty-yard line
and Hallowell's punting was almost as
good as HaughtonS last year.
The entire Harvard eleven played with
a snap and dash that carried the IL 900
people almost off their feet with enthusi-
asm.
during the entire game. On the other hand
a number of the Indians were sadly bat
tered. Wheelock was carried from the
field and tonight is still in serious con
diton. His injuries apparently resulted
from a blow about the head.
Until the last part of the second half
Harvard's new defense worked well and
had no trouble in keeping the ball in the
Indians territory. AS the Harvard score
mounted, however. Captain Burden deter
mined to give the substitutes a chance.
Accordingly he called in Eaton and Swain
as tackles, and also a new trio of backs
Parker Warren and Reid Then the In
dams began to play. They attacked Har-
wards line with fury that the substi-
tutes could not meet and slowly pushed
the ball down the field. A mass play just
outside of tackle was the effective for,
nation and Swain especially seemed pow
erless to stop 1t.
On every exchange of punts Harvard
gained partly due to the great SUPERIOR
ity of Hallowel over Miller and to the
brilliant work of Daily, who invariably
ran Millers punts back ten yards before
being downed. The lineup:

the Stanford band played something in

This seasons freshmen football contest
was the most interesting played since
their inception. The long stand on the
west end of the Sixteenth and Folsom
street grounds was packed with col
legians and lovers Of the gridiron game.
On the south end OF the stand Califor-
MAS adherents, beribboned with blue and

center came the cardinal chargers. Cham

Stanford had struck its winning pace and
