HARVARD DEFEATS
 CARLISLE INDIANS
Game Was Exciting and Even Sensa. tional at Times, But Crimson
 Was Steady and Won.

Cambridge, Mass, November Liar yard defeated the Carlisle Indians to- day on Soldiers field, 2S to 0. The game was exciting and even sensational at times. Both sides punted frequently and Herman especially with very marked eff feet, one of his punts sailing over 45 yards. Harvard attempted but one trick play. In the first half Carlisle was per- mitted to throw Putnam as he got through tackle for 5-yard loss, but be- fore any one realized what was going on Marshall had passed the ball to Ker- nan, who sixirted the Indians left end for a 45-yard run to Carlisle's 5O-yard line. By far. the most sensational play of the game cAme toward the close of the second half when Marshall caught one of Charles punts on his own 35-yard line and ran the length of the field for a touch down.
 The Indians had several tricks up their sleeves end succeeded in gaining quite a good deal of ground with them, but their runners fumbled the ball so often that their rushings availed them but little.
 Although Harvard held we'll still the Indians succeeded In getting through the lines often, and several times prevented gains on line plays. Harvard's most eff fective plays were end runs and her tackle back formation. The Indians ends were too light to stop the plays

ON EVE OF ELECTION BOTH SIDES CLAIM
 CONGRESS AND THE STATE OF NEW YORK
BURNETT WILL WIN
 IN SEVENTH DISTRICT

as to the reelection of John D. Burnett to congress has been removed
 Democratic speeches were made in the district today by Governor Jelks at Gull man and Congressmen Maddox and Adamson of Georgia and Congressman Burnett at Albertville, Congressman Clayton and j. Thomas Hefin at Fort Payne Charles D. Waller at skinner, w. W. Brandon at Centre, Frank S White at Springville. Congressman Richardson and L. D. Godfrey at Russel1ville, c. w. Ferguson and John M Caldwell at Dou- ble Springs and A. H. Carmichael at Burlson
 Reports from all of these meetings are most encouraging and the democrats do not now concede a single county in the distSict to Candidate Street. A careful and conservative estimate of the result indicate that Mr Burnett will carry Cherokee by 250 majority, DeKalb by 400 majority, Etowah by 800, Cullman by 200 Frankling by 25O, and Winston by 100 making a total majority of 1850 While the democrats do not eoneede it, the chances appear favorable for MT. Street to carry Marshall by 200 and St. Clair by 15o, a total of $50, which leaves MT. Burnett a clear majority of 1200. Mem- bers of the democratic committee say that the result will show the majority to be nearer 1900.
 indications are that the vote in the district will be full, no such word as apathy being known in this section.

In Great Game of Football the Soldiers Tie the Sons of Eli By Score
 of 6 to 6.

West Point, N. r., November 1.-The largest crowd ever in attendance at a football game here witnessed the bat tie today between Yale and the Military Academy team. The score to 6 was the same as last year, both touch downs being made in the first half. The game was an exciting one from start to finish. Yales touch down was made after ten minutes of play, Ward being forced over the line after a 35-yard run by Metcalfe and some splendid line bucking. Bowman kicked an easy goal. In the next forrna- tion Yale punted short and Bunker caught and ran with the ball to Yale's s five-yard line. It was then only a mat ter of a few seconds until Torney was pushed over for a touch down. He also kicked goal. Time was then called with the ball in West Points territory. Score: Yale 6; West Point 6.
 Better football was seen In the second half the last part of the battle being fought principally in West Points terri tory. Hackett made sensational run Of sixty yards Metcalfe also made run of twenty yards. Near the close of the game West Points line began to show weak ness, and time was called with the ball in Yale's territory on punt. Final score: Yale 6; West Point G.

TENNESSEE GIVES
 SEWANEE DRUBBING
Proud Wearers of the Purple Go Down Before the University Lads By
 Score of to o-Matched.

Knoxville, November 1.-The University of Tennessee defeated the football team of Sewanee for the first time in it's his- tory this afternoon by a score of to O.. The only touch down was made in the latter part of the second half, through a beautiful delayed pass in which Douglass, left half back carried the ball through. The game was the most spectacular of the season, abounding in brilliant runs, hurdling and hard formation plays.
 The teams were evenly matched and twice Tennessee's goal was in immediate danger. On an off-side play Sewanee had the ball on Tennessee's six-yard line, but the University of Tennessee team held them there for downs and then rushed the ball to the center of the field. Sewanee secured the ball on tumble, and Powell, right tackle, made brilliant run of sixty yards for a touch down for the purple. but it was recalled on account of off-side plays.

22.OOO PEOPLE SAW
 CAME AT CHICAGO
Michigan Defeats Wisconsin By Score of to 0 In One of Prettiset Games
 of Season--Grand Stand Fell.

Chicago, Ills, November 1.-Before a crowd so densely packed that it was found necessary to close the gates of Marshall field. the battle for football su- premacy between Michigan and Wiscon- sin was fought out today, and the game resulted Michigan, 6; Wisconsin, 0.
 The contest was regarded as deciding the western champonship for this sea- sol. The inadequacy of the accommo- dations of Marshall field for such a crowd-the attendance is estimated at several people were hurt. At the north- east corner of the grounds one of the temporary grand stands, hastily erected to accommodate 400 people, crowded be- yond it's capacity, fell with a crash.
 Manager Bartelme, who made arrange ments for the game, immediately gave orders that no more tickets should be sold. It is said that thousands were turned away. One man offered $20 for a ticket but was unable to obtain 1t.
 Michigan's touchdown was made in the first eight minutes of the game, when they seemed to take Wisconsin by sur prise, bucking the line wikh terrific force. These rushes, together with long gains by Jones and Palmer, carried the ball to Wisconsin's 3-yard line, when Maddocks was forced over for a touchdown. Weeks kicked an easy goal. For the rest of the game the Badgers showed themselves nearly, if not entirely, Michigan's equal, but either fumbles or sharp stiffening in the opposing line would force them to punt.
 Heston, Lawrence. Maddocks, Palmer, Jones' Herrenstein and Graves were Michigan's best ground-gainers, while Juneau, Driver, Vanderboom, Fogg and Haumerson played star parts in Wiscon- sins offensive work.
 Michigan won merit, according to many critics, but the grade of superior ity the team displayed over Wisconsin was very small.

It give the dem ocrats at least two hundred and three members of the next house or twenty ma jority T am absolutely confident we will reach those figures" said Chairman Griggs, tonight, and I would not be at all surprised if there is democratic landslide.'' MT. Griggs', statement is as follows:
 "rhe next house of representatives will have a democratic majority of not less than twenty. How many more than this we will have can only be determined after the counting of the vote on Tues day next. It depends largely, as every election does, on the weather and other conditions which cannot be forecasted
 "rhe republican leaders until recent ly have been complaining of apathy. For the last day or two for political purpose, they have been claiming that they have overcome this to a large extent, and are faint-heartedly predicting success. Re ports to us do not indicate that this Is true. Republicans everywhere appear list less and even careless of results. We find that our democratic friends are wide awake and alert in every district in the United States where there is fight
 Ut is well to understand that the last apportionment bill was so drawn as to add piaet 9en republicans and ten demo- crat$ to the house. d republican adYant- age of nine in addition to then present majority. The legislatures of the repub- lican states, where possible to do so' have outrageously gerrymandered con- gressiona1 districts go as to create a few heavily democratic districts and few republicans by what they consider safe maiorities This is notably the case in Illinois and New York, but these states have had habit of playing havoc with political gerrymanders in the past, and we believe that this is a year in which there will be a repetition of this. We are not depending on this, however, for our majority named above. Even if these states go as they were gerrymandered to go, we shall have democratic house py a safe working majority"

Leaders of Each Party Say Their Ma
 Iority Will Be About 5o,ooo.

New York, November With the lead CTS of both parties confident Of success and predicting majorities of 4O'OOO or 5o'- 0OO for their respective tickets, the state campaign for the election next Tuesday was brought to close tonight. The candidates of the two leading parties for governor chose the battle ground or Kings county for their speeches tonight while former Senator Hill was in Buffalo making a final effort to capture Erie county. Conservative men in both the leading parties predicted that success would be won with a majority possibly as small as 10000, and all predictions are based on widely different estimates of the majority the democratic ticket will show up to the Bronx and the majority which the republican ticket will bring down there from up-the-state to meet it,
 Governor Odell himself today predicted the success of the republican state ticket by 50,000. while Chairman Dunn of the republican state committed, chung 10 his prediction of 37,OO0 for the ticket. He was sure of Erie county by 5000 to 50OO,i and he said that Monroe county was rel publican notwithstanding the alleged set clement of differences between the demo- crats of that county and Rochester.
 ''There are two issues,' said Colonel Dunn, the economical administration or Governor Odell and the mud-slinging of former Governor Hill The first was al- most enough, to return Governor Odell and the second is reaeting with deadly effect upon the democratic party"
 Democrats Also Confident.
