Princeton at that stage had in sew

Weekes not in the game for thirty min
utes out of forty-flve today, Columbia de-
feated Hamilton by score of SO TO O.

On Hamiltons third kickoff in this
half the bali reached Weekes on Column

BROWN PUTS 1T OVER
PENNSYLVANIA ELEVEN
Score Two Touchdowns in First Half
of Game by Catching Quakers
Mapping.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1S.-Brown de-
feated Pennsylvania here today by the
score of Is to 6. 1t was Penn's first
defeat of the season, and also the first
important game the Quakers have
played. Brown made good her reputa
tion won against Harvard and Yale this
year.
Pennsylvania could not force her way
through the line, nor around the ends,
and Browns offense was too weak to be
very effective against Pennsylvania.
Brown succeeded in scoring two touch
downs against Pennsylvania in the first
half by catching the Quakers mapping.
They were both made by Barry. the
f1eet-footed halfback and captain In
scoring one of the touchdowns he broke
through Penh's line for a 65-yard run.
The other touchdown was the result Of
3Oyard run by Barry. Penn scored
in the first half on tumble
1t was hard struggle in the second
half. Up and down the field the ball
went, changing hands either on downs
or on punts. Brown tried a place kicl,
from the 25-yard mark that failed.
Brown got the ball again, and Barry
by 15yard run placed the bal, on
Penn's 20-yard line. Webb put the ball
on Pennsylvania 10-yard line. Tho
Providence boys could get no farther. SC
Barry dropped back to the 23-yard line
and sent the ball over the bar in
pretty kick.

GIVES YALE HARD RUB
Scoring by Old Eli Done Only After
Most Grueling Kind of
Football.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Oct 1S.-The
Yale team this afternoon for the second
Time this season met an eleven which
was not an easy mark for the blue.
Yale was able to score but twice. once
IN each half. and her scoring was the
result of the most grueling sort of
football. The score was: Yale, H. Penn
sylvanla State. 0.
The field was in the poorest possible
condition on account of a driving rain
The storm delayed the game half an
hour. and when the players trotted out
on the field they found 1t covered with
two inches Of mud.
In the second half George Ward was
for Hare, who was injured
The finish of the second half
was revelation to the Yale team. Penn
sylvania fought with desperation for
every inch OF ground and time and
again the Yale backs or tackles made
short gains only.

lEH|GH AND NAVAL
CADETS PLAY TIE GAME
Quakers Score on 85-Yard
Run by Farabaugh.

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 1S.-Lehigh and the
Naval Academy played tight game here
this afternoon. each scoring 5 points on
single touchdown and neither kicking
the goal. Lehigh scored in the first
half on spectacular run by Farabaugh
of eighty-fiv yards. He was thrown at
the beginning of the run, but recovered
his feet and although hotly pursued by
Decker planted the ball safely behind his
opponents goal line.
The navy's score was also out of the
usual order. Belknap punted from Le-.
highs 35-yard line and the ball bounded
and rolled quite a distance behind the
gcal line, where Whiting. the navy end.
fell on IL. A long dispute followed, as
the visitors claimed that none Of their
players had touched the ball but this
was disallowed by the referee and
touchdown allowed.
The ball was punted out. but Smith.
who caught it fair, did not heel
properly, and the goal was not allowed.

WEST POINT. Oct. 1s.-The hardest

The soldiers were beaten, but they scored
a fair and square touchdown The final
figures were only IA to g.
1nasmuch as two of West Points best
men. Bunker and Daily, did not play, and
the cadets are biding their time in de-
velopment, their game was surprisingly
strong. The score at the end of the first
half was to G. and Harvard had been
held level in all points of playing.
When Harvard had the ball she looked
powerful. but on the defense weaknesses
came to light forcibly. Harvard's attack
was at all times conducted with great
vigor.
