TULANE DEFEATS
 UNIVERSITY BOYS Both Teams Did Excellent Work ' in the Struggle II WAS B BATTLE ROYAL New Orleans Boys Won by Score of gr Q. o-one of the Prettiest Contests Ever Seen in ..
 Tuscaloosa
II WAS B BAT TIE ROYAL

Tuscaloosa, November 3-(Specia1)- )-The university and Tulane football teams met on the campus this afternoon in the most exciting game played by either team in a long time which resulted in a score of 6 to in favor of Tulane. Both teams did ex- cellent work, and it was only after a hard struggle that the visitors succeeded in car rying the ball over their opponents line. Tulane's touchdown was made in the first half in the last few minutes of play. and the necessary ground was gained on the last down.
 Alabama kicked off in the first half, gain ing 20 yards, secured the ball by Tulane's failure to gain five yards and gained ten more by a beautiful end run by Forman. Tulane in turn gained the pigskin by tumble, and succeeded in carrying 1t up the field through long series of bucks and end runs. The ball was carried over the line by buck on the last down, six-inch gain being required for touch down. Nine inches were made. and the goal kicked, giv ing the visitors a score of 6 to by the mar row margin of three inches
 Inthe last half Alabama turned the Tu- lane boys back from their goal when the ball was within a few yards thereof, and bucked the ball to within ten yards of the opposite goal when time was called. The game was much delayed by disputes of the referees decisions, and it was almost dark

OLD PENNSYLVANIA
 IS BADLY BEATEN The Crimson of Harvard Waves
 Happy at Cambridge LOOKS EQUALLY FOR YALE Harvard's Victory Over Pennsylvania Was Not Only Surprising But it
 Showed the Team to be
 in Great Form

Cambridge, Mass, November 3.-A mar the famous guards back formation, speedy and brilliant offense, together with some Lad errors by her opponents, gave Harvard a most satisfactory victory over the Uni versity of Pennsylvania on Soldiers field this afternoon and made the crimson a warm favorite for the Yale game at New Haven just three weeks hence.
 That Pennsylvania should have been beaten r to was something considerably beyond the expectatio of the most san guine crimson students, while it was doubly surprising and almost humiliating to sev- eral thousand followers of the red and blue who journeyed from Philadelphia with the confident expectation of seeing, If not reversed figures, at least a victory by a comfortable margin.
 All this was apparently based on that famous offense originated by Coach Wood ruff of sending the heaviest men on the team plunging into the line. It took just two plays to show the fallacy of this be- lief, and then came a whirlwind of rushes by the crimson eleven, coupled with sev- eral nasty errors by the Pennsylvania play CTS, and almost before the Pennsylvania men knew it Harvard had scored not only once, but twice and thrice
 It was just the kind of a football game that crowd of 20000 people enjoyed with thrilling runs around the ends, some good
