Philadelphia, November 22.--Some ex-
citement was caused this evening just
after President Roosevelt left the resi-
dence of former Postmaster General
Smith for the reception of Mr.. Stotes-
bury The carriage containing the Presi-
dent and Secretary Cortelpou had Just
started. iianked on either side by a
squad of the Philadelphia city troop. A
secret service man was on the box Of the
carriage. The roped sidewalks were
packed on either side for several blocks
Suddenly man pushed his way through

who Is ever slert on such occasions,
caught a glimpse of him, and springing
up, leaned far over to protect the Presi-
dent from possible harm. The man got
by the mounted guards, but as II turned
out he meant no mischief II only want
to shake the Presidents hand" said he
appealingly to Secretary Cortelyou, ex-
tending an open palm. Secretary Cortel-
you thereupon sank back into his seat
and the President gave the man a friend
-ly handshake. Meanwhile the carriage
had stopped and the mounted police and
troopers had formed a close Gordon
around 1t. But In the confusion coll
ored man had also reached the carriage.

Louisville, November 22-on field six
inches deep in mud, the Louisville Y. M.
c. A. football team today defeated the
eleven from the University of Nashville
by a score Of IT to 6. The local players
clearly outclassed their opponents. They
relied principally on bucking the line to
advance the ball. In spite of the condi-
tion of the field, several long runs were
made, Lord and Robinson of the Y M.
C. A. especially distinguishing them
selves. Lord carried the ball 55 yards and
Robinson went around the Tennesseeans
for IS yards. For Nashville White. at
left half was the best grounds -gainer,
and Hawkins at right tackle, and Car
nett at right half also did fine work.

HOWARD COLLEGE
IS BADLY BEATEN
A. and M. College of Miss,
Wins by Score of 26 to 0
ALABAMIANS WERE PLUCKY
Though outweluhed and outcIassed,
They Stuck to It to the Finish.
Tatum's Great Goal Kicking
Was the Feature.
ALABAMIANS WERE PLUCKY

Though Howard college put up plucly
defense at times and made several good
gains on shrewd plays, the football giants
from the A. and NJ. College of Mississippi
ran away with them yesterday, and when
the end came the score was rs to 0.
The all-star of the game and the man
who drew the most applause from the
limited crowd was Tatum, one of Missis-
sippis halfbacks, who introduced new
idea In football. He kicked all the goals
and the aim of his toe was unerring. In
stead Of having some one hold the ball
for him he simply held 1t in his hands,
dropped and kicked 1t through the goal
posts. His unerring aim caused the
crowd to marvel. This plan of kicking a
goal was novelty.
Tho visitors outweighed the Howard
boys by fifteen or twenty pounds but
they also played superior ball. After a
few plays it was seen that Howard was
btsted, but they put up a plucl1y game
and held the Mississippians down to one
touchdown and a safety in the first half.
In the second half they weakened ana
Mississippi made three touchdowns.
Touchdowns Come Fast.
Two Of the touchdowns in the second
half were made SO rapidly that the spec
tators could hardly keep up with the
score. Howard kicked off and after a
few plays the ball was on her 15-yard
lire. Wilson then went around the end
without much difficulty. placing the ball
between the goal posts. Tatum, as usual,
kicked the goal. The ball was brought
to the center CT the field and after two
downs Guess came around left end with
splendid interference and a clear field
before him. He sped across IS yards OF
territory for a touchdown.
A little later on Eaton performed sim-
liar trick around left end and made a
touchdown afte: q so-yard sprint Tatum
\ kapt up his goal kicking and the score
was then 26 to 0.
Seeing that Howard could not win the
crowd began begging Tatum to try a
drop kick from the field. He finally
yielded to persuasion and tried with the
wind blowing against him. The kick went
of beautifully. but the ball swerved a lit
tie to the right and missed the goal by
less than ten inches. Later on he tried
another from the 40-yard line, but one OF
his men got in the way and prevented
its success.
Howard Deserves Credit.
Considering the fact that this is How
ards first session on the football field
the men did we'll. They were light and
were a little slow in getting up their for
nations, but their nerve and pluck was
admirable. Not once during the one
sided contest could they be classed as
cutters. With defeat staring them in the
face they fought 1t out to the last and
promised to do better next year.
The touchdowns were made as follows:

A TLANTA, November 22.-(speciaL)-
II Tennessee won from the Georgia
"Tech" In a hard fought game at
Brisbine park this afternoon. the score
being 10 to G. The game was the best the
Georgia Blacksmiths have played this
season and resulted In a much closer
score than they had expected after Ten
nessee's victory over Sewanee and her
close game with Vanderbilt. Neither
team succeeded in crossing the white
wash In the first half. though the ball
was in Tech territory the greater part
of the game. Twice the Tech goal was in
danger. but the Blacksmiths got together
each time in great shape and carried the
ball back to the center OF the field. Tho
half closed with the ball in Tennessee's
possession on the Techs 5-yard line.
In the second half Tennessee carried the
ball to Techs 7-yard line. Brinson kicked
for Tech, sending the oval back for S5
yards, Saxton Crawford, Tennessee's
quarter, caught the ball and with practi-
caily no interference ran to touchdown,

Makes Situation Complex.
From the game put UP by the Techs
against Tennessee, the game in Birming-
ham Thanksgiving promises to be even
more interesting. The University of Ala
bama has made remarkable improve
ments, and with the Techs playing Ten
nessee almost to a standstilI, the ssult
is problematical.
Alabama did better by the University
of Texas than did Sewanee, and she
defeated the A. and M. college of Mis-
sissippi, which tied Tulane. Tulane tied
Auburn, so the situation from form"
standpoint is very complex. 1t is under
stood the betting on next Thursday 5
game is even, with both sides little
uneasy about making wagers.

the Techs got together and carried the
ball down the field. When within 35 yards
of the visitors goal on a double pass,
Brinson cleared right end and went to a
touchdown, but the officials decided that
he had gone out of bounds and the ball
was taken back to the 15-yard line over
the protest of the Tech players and many
spectators. However the decision did not
affect the score as Thrash promptly car

CATTLE-There was a light run of cattle
this morning, which makes the receipts for
the two days considerably short of the
same days OF last week. Packers all
seemed to be in need of fresh supplies, so
that the market ruled active and the prices
paid in most cases were quite q little
higher.
There were right around fifteen cars of
beef steers on sale, but the quality of them
was very common. There was nothing on
sale at all that could be called choice, as
will be seen from the sales below. Packers,
though, took hold in good shape and paid
stronger prices, as there were scarcely
enough cattle to flll their orders. The mar
ket was safely 16q25c higher than last
Friday, and some sales looked even better
than that.
The cow market was rather uneven. The
better grades sold freely at higher prices
or at an advance of 15G25c, as compared
with the close of last week The Gamers
and cutters. though, in some cases sold a
little higher than they did yesterday, and
IN other instances they did not seem> TO
be much more than steady. Buyers seemed
TO want them, but they did not like to pay
more than they did yesterday.
Bulls, veal calves and stays all COM
manded good, hrm prices.
There were just a few punches of stock
ers and feeders In the yards, so that any
thing desirable sold at strong prices. The
fact that Christmas is so close at hand
made spectators very cautious about get
ting many cattle. and especially common
stun, on hand, so that sellers found IL
ferior grades. Representatives sales;

SHEEP-Receipts of sheep and lambs
were also rather light this morning and
Sthe greater proportion of the offerings was

better grades of fat sheep and lambs was
active and the market could be quoted
strong on that class of stun. A bunch OF
native lambs sold as high at $500, Mexican
yearlings sold ct $4.25, which is the same
as they brought last Friday, and wethers
