CARPENTER, Univcrsity's star Half
WHO Played tie Most Isl Hiatt
Game for Carolina Yesterday.

Miss Christian, and many who said
that the town beauty had become in
tensely jealous of her old friend and
companion, the blind girl.
Little was thought of this gossip,
though there was evident trouble be-
tween the two girls and soon they
were not seen together. A climax
came few days ago, when Miss Bates
went to the home of the blind girl,
and before the otehr young women
of the town, who were present accused
her of alternating her sweetheart's af-
feCtiOns.
An exciting scene ensued, but when
the blind girl had denied the accuSa-
tion the girls seemed to renew in
slight degree their friendship. Two
days later they were seen together
walking on the outskirts of the town
and apparently on as good terms as
before the estrangement.
That was the last time Miss Chris
tian was seen alive. When she was
missed her father sought her at the
Bates home. The police were notified
and they also went to the residence
of Miss Bates. They insisted upon
seeing her and finally were admitted
by Miss Bates parents that their
daughter had disappeared.
A pursuit was begun but for two
days the young girl eluded her pur-
suers When finally located and ar
rested at the house of friends a few@
miles away she declined to make any
statement and was taken to Jail.
When it was learned that Miss Bates
had disappeared the police searched
her home and found clothing there
which was Unidentified as belonging to
the murdered blind girl.

Philadelphia, Nov 24.-The Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania football eleven
today closed one of the most success
ful seasons in the history of the insti-
tuition by defeating the Cornell eleven
by the score of "a to 0. Pennsylvania
scored four touchdowns in the first
half and two in the second. Had it
not been for penalties inflicted on the
red and blue, Cornell would never
have been within striking distance of
the Pennsylvania goal. The Ithica
boys were poWerless on the offensive
until neav the close of the game when
Pennsylvania had in an almost entire
new team and on the defense they
We're equally weak. Not a first down
was earned by the visitors in the open
ing half and only once during this
period did Cornell hold the downs.
Pennsylvania was penalized forty-tlve
yards in the first half and was set back
forty yards in the closing period of the
game.
umble after tumble occurred in the
Cornell back field, and on nearly every
offenSs she would lose the ball
A feature of the game was the fierce
tackling of the Pennsylvania boys. On
nearly every scrimmage when the
Cornell team had the ball there would
be one of the visitors laid out. Stew
enson, Pennsylvania s quarterback,
was finally sent to the side lines by
Umpire Edwards for rough play.
