Harvard Disappointed Carlisle.

Harvard disappointed the Carlisle Indians
at Cambridge Saturday afternoon by pre-
venting the redskins from scoring. The
Indians came with high hopes of being the
first team this year to cross the Harvard
goal line. but Harvard kept her record
clean. The score was II to 0, but that hard
ly indicates how close things were for the
most part. In the first half it was nip and
tuck all the way, and the half ended with
neither side having scored.
Harvard's game was full of life and fight,
and the outlook for the ultimate success of
the team is encouraging. Harvard showed
unexpected strength on the defense, which
was thought to be her weakest point. but
she also showed a greater weakness on the
offense than she has showed before this

George Washington Team in Bad Shape

The hopes of the George Washington Uni
versity foot ball coaches to make a good
showing against the navy Wednesday have
gone a-glimmering. The Gallaudet game,
instead of proving easy, developed into the
hardest game of the season, and many of
the 'varsity's stars were seriously in
jured that they may not be able to get into
the game against the middies. At least,
this seemed to be the opinion of the coaches
today. With the exception of Stevenson, it
is probable that entirely back field
will have to be put in against the navy.
Four men on the line. Morris, kilgore, Law
and Vanvlet, are not in condition to play,
and the probabilities are that they will not
be able to play until the latter part of the
week This will necessitate the playing of
about seven substitutes. Under these con-
ditions the prospects for close score are
remote.
The Pennsylvania railroad has granted
the management a special rate of s1.56 for
the round trip, and a large crowd of stu
dents will accompany the team to cheer
them. The first train will leave at $40
an. The team and small crowd
of students will go at this time.
AT 12:10 the student body will go over,
and II there are as many as sixty in
the party the railroad has promised to run
a special train from Annapolis to Wash
ington, leaving there at o'clock. Any per-
son desiring to take the trip may do so by
applying to one of the managers, who will
be found at the Medical School Tuesday
morning. No admission will be charged to
the grounds at Annapolis

largely to Parkinson passing Herman

game. and he ran the team better than IT

playing that made the first touchdown pos

Capt Hurley was the individual star of
the game He seemed to be everywhere,
making daring tackles, breaking up trick

And still the foot ball upsets come. Yale
visited West Point Saturday and drank the
bitter draught of defeat. Columbia met
with a similar experience at Pennsylvania
hands. Harvard disposed of the Indians
handily and now looms up ahead of the
eastern pigskin brigade. Princeton gave
Lehigh a sound drubbing. the navy could
only break even with Dickinson, Dart
mouth was scored on by Holy Cross. as was
Cornell by Franklin and Marshall; Lafay-
cite took Swarthmore into camp and Am
herst beat Brown. and, like Harvard still
has clean slate.
Here's an unusual state of affairs. The
foot ball championship of 1904, of the east,
so far the snar of confusing results will
permit of satisfactory deductions, may
hang in the balance when the army and
navy meet in Philadelphia on November %.
West Point has trimmed Yale and Annapo-
lis has fayed the Princeton Tiger: SO if
Yale should beat Harvard, the only team
which has beaten West Point, the soldiers
and mddies may toe the scratch with rec
ords that enttle them to championship
claims. What will happen to them in the
meantime may make difference. West
Point has Princeton to meet. but even
should the former lose to the JerSeymen
victory over Annapolis would offset this,
for has not Annapolis whipped Princeton?
the West Point game undefeated-
That will be about enough bridges to
cross for the present in figuring on the West
Pont-Annapolis encounter as champion
ship one.
Form in foot ball is supposed to be the
most trustworthy of any sport involving
team competition, yet form received black
eye at West Point last Saturday. There are
two kinds of form. There is the form of
scores and the actual playing form. The
former considered. Harvard by beating
West Point to D. excels Yale, which was
beaten by West Point, II to 6. But in the
actual playing form exhibited by the Grim
son and the Blue. respectively, against the
cadets Yale has the call The game played
by Yale at the Point was stronger than
Harvard's game there. There was more to
it, a better offense and a better defense.
Harvards game was the more successful
because free from the manual shortcomings
which cost Yale the game. Harvards game
was surer, but nothing like as powerful.

Tigers Good Brace.

Princeton played Lehigh at Princeton
Saturday afternoon in the last game the
Tigers have on their home grounds before
the Yale game. The contest was character
lied by improved team work by the Prince
ton eleven and speed and snap which have
been absent from recent games. The Tig-
ers in beating Lehigh 60 to 0, played
strong, aggressive game and plainly ex-
celled in offensive work, but on occasions
they exhibited tendency to weaken on
the defensive which would have proved
disastrous with stronger team. Lehigh,
weak as she was, made nine first downs on
Princeton. The Orange and Black eleven.
however, found the visitors easy victims
to their irresistible line plunges and DASH
ing end runs. Foulke followed his inter-
ference better Saturday than at any time
before this season and his quick daShes
around end were the most brilliant fea-
lures of the game. Ritter. who was at
left In Kings place, instead of at his old
position at quarter. played a strong. con-
sistent. game and was second only to
Foulke as ground gamer. Miller. too,
who was back at his last years position OF
fullback, proved far more satisfactory
than at end Tenney did well at quarter.
and Tooker at right end held down his po-
sition in manner satisfactory to the
coaches. Crothers who has been causing
considerable uneasness at center by his
poor passing, had much better control.

West Point Trounced Yale.

The army foot ball team smashed Old Ell
Saturday afternoon and thereby accom-
plisEed something no previous West Point
eleven has been able to do. The score was
II to g. and this combination Of figures
means joy unbounded i'm the army camp
and a corresponding prevalence of deep
gloom in the Yale ranks Yale knows now
how Princeton feels. and the army is shar-
ing with the navy the sweet taste of victory
over a powerful foe. For powerful Yale I'M
questionably was, but she was beaten be-
cause the army. although greatly outplayed
in straight foo ball. was always alert and
keen rs a hawk to seize and make the most
of opponents mistakes. Yale made two eX-
pensive misplays. so what mattered it how
much ground they gained?
When the game ended the cadets rushed
out on the field Like wild men and carried
their game and conquering fighters off the
field on their shoulders. The air quivered
with the waving of army colors. through
which the Yale men walked silently. There
was no weeping among them over defeat,
but rather were they grimly determined to
make somebody suffer for their humilia ton.
The foot bail the E.ls showed stamped them
as dangerous despite the result of the
game.
Il dread this game more than any other
this season." said Mike Murphy, the Yale
trainer before the game. He knew whereof
he spoke Yale rushed the ball up and
down the field. and had an attack that tore
West Point up for big and numerous gains.
Yet Yale was beaten. The reason for it
was this:
In the first half West Point blocked a
kick on Yales 25-yard line, and a touch
down was the immediate result. In the sec
ond half, when Yale had the ball ten yards
from West Points goal line and was in the
thick of an irresistible attack, a West
Pointer suddenly shot out of the scrimmage
with the ball and ran 100 yards for a touch
down. 1t was amazingly sudden change
in the aspect of things. An instant before
a Yale victory was all but sure. and few
seconds later West Point had the game as
good as won.
