 less than five yards from the point where the ball was snapped back or else the run will not be allowed.
 The fake kick is useful and discon- certing. The fullback drops back as though to kick. He receives the ball. but instead of kicking he dashes around either end, going very wide of the position of the opposing end man Good interference must be supplied by the other backs. tackles and ends.
 To perform the startling trick known as hurdling the line. perfected by Har- old Weekes. the sensational Columbia halfback of few years ago. have one of the guards crouch very low as the ball is snapped back The back re- ceiving the ball leaps forward and on to the back of the guard and springs high in the air over his opponents heads into their territory.

CORNELL JUST GOT THERE.

Ithaca, N. r., Sept. 2s-The Cornell football eleven barely managed to win its first game of the season yes terday afternoon. Hamilton holding the Ithacans to points. made on a touchdown by Earle near the end of the second half The work of War ner's men who outweighed their op- ponents nearly twenty-five pounds 10 the man. was far from the usual stan dand of his teams. Fumbling at criti- cal points lost at least two touch- downs. Cornell's defense proved in- vulnerable, Hamilton never getting beyond the center of the field except on the kick-off.
 Kirberger. the big guard from Mer- cersburg. failed to pass his entrance examination and yesterday returned to the preparatory school. Furman. another promising candidate for guard. was injured in yesterdays skirmish practise and this morning was taken to the college inhrmary. He will be laid up several days.

Spain and Slavin of This City Played With Villa n 0va and Were Shut Out Other Games.

Two college eleyens which hold a leading position in the premier sport Of the l-football-began their campaign yesterday, when they got down to actual battle with actual foes. The Princeton eleven ran up a good sized score against the light Villa Nova team, one in which the Jerseymen can take some comfort on account of its size. for despite the difference In weight and experience, team has to be pretty active to run up Il points in brief halves. There was nothing in the game to test Princeton's defense. Cornell had q tough time beating Hamilton. the at tack being handicapped by fumbling, weakness to be expected at this early stage, but the defense thus ear ly is good sign. Defense is harder to learn that offense. The Syracuse university eleven started out well by beating Hobart handily.
 WATERBURY BOYS PLAY.
 Princeton. N. J., Sept. 2S-Prince- ton opened her football season yes. terday by defeating the Villanoya eleven fl to 0. The Princeton team though light one, was much heavier than the Pennsylvania eleven and far faster. The Villanova line broke like eggshells before the vigorous at tack of the Tigers and the Princeton backs circled the visitors ends fol long runs. With Princeton, on the other hand. the reverse was the case The visitors gained their downs only twice and could make little headway about the ends. The Tigers however fumbled badly. Penney, the Prince ton quarter. ran the team we'll and showed remarkable speed and skill in running the pigskin back aftel punts and kick-offs. In the second half Simons and Willock were put 1T as halfbacks and the crowd woke uI at the wonderful speed of Simons or end ruhs. He was the fastest mar on the field and was repeatedly on of reach before the visitors had time to realize that he was around tht ends. Willock also was very fast bu was eclipsed by the speed of his mate Dillon. the Andover freshman, in tlt second half was at quarter. and Fry CT of Hill at end. Both made a good showing.

Still another double pass is that in which the fullback drops back as though to kick. The ball is passed to him, but instead of kicking he plunges straight at the line. The right half back stands close to the quarterbacks position, and the fullback as he hits the line turns his back to it and passes the ball back to the waiting right half. who runs around either end. usually the left.
 The quarterback run is a simple trick When the quarterback receives the ball from the center he dashes through either tackle or around either end. aided by strong interference. He must cross the line of scTimmage not

HARVARD TOOK REVENGE.


 Cambridge, Sept 2s.-The Harvard varsity eleven had it's revenge on the substitutes for Tuesdays defeat in a thirteen minute scrimmage yesterday afternoon. The first string men scored one touchdown after carrying the ball seventy yards, but they were not able to keep the substitutes from advancing the ball. The subs gained fifty-fve yards, forty of which came on fum- bled punt. Yesterdays playing was fiercer and somewhat better Captain Hurley was in the game for the first time, but had to retire after the third play. when he gained ten yards on an end run and was pulled down by Me Donald. whom Hurley tried to hurdle. The captain landed on his head, and, while not injured, had to leave the game because of the blow. Both sets of backs played a good defensive game. Foster being especially strong at this.

Dinneen Shuts Ch icago Gut Without Hit or Run - Race in American League is a Thriller.

The lead of the Philadelphias in the American league race was further i'm perilled yesterday when Macks' men were nosed out in hard fought game with the Detroits. The Chicagos, on the other hand, after losing one game in Boston, gave their opponents a sound drubbing in the second. The squirting White Sox begin series of three games in Philadelphia to-day, and it looks as if that series would de eide the destination of the American league pennant and which team is to do battle with McGraw's pennant win ners. There is a pretty four-cornered fight going on for third place, but the New Works lost ground yesterday in the tussle for this position. They were beaten by the Browns, making three defeats out of four games. It was one of those rare occasions when Harry Howell succeeded in trimming the New Workers. The Detroits went to third place, the Clevelands being shut out by Washington. The results:
