Princetons s clean football slate for this
season was marred for the hrst time
this afternoon by Bucknell, when Len
hart 8 kick from placement IN the sec
Ond half made the nnal score 81 TO I.
In the second half ClarlC's signal for
a free catch OF a punt was interfered
with and the penalty advanced the ball
to the 40-yard line, where Lenhart
kicked the field goal Cleanly.
Princeton had no trouble in gaining
at any time. although a STEADY rain rem
dered the field unfit for the lodging
game OF Harlan and Eddie Dillon. As
the ball was slippery. PrinCetOn's FUN
bles proved very costly, the visitors
twice recovering it. TWO attempts at
drop kicks failed. The feature to-day
was the fast end running OF Harlan and
the running back of Eddie Dillon.

LOSES
TO ANNAPOLIS
MidShipmen's Victory Mark
ed by Forward Passes
and On-Side Kicks.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. Oct 2O-The Mid
shipmen won from Lehigh here this
afternoon by y TO 0. about half OF what
was expected. Forward passes and on
side kicks from different formations
We're much IN evidence and the former
were used by the navy lads VIZ. much
success. The grounds were wet from
several days of rain and fast play was
impossible this fact probably contribu-
ting to the small score. Leigh put up
an excellent defense In the FIST half,
but weakened In the second
Navy scored one touchdown and one
goal in each halC. though the first half
was for twenty minutes and the second
for only fifteen. The Sailors adopted the
policy Of kicking on the first down dur
ing the first part of the game and a
muffed punt put them within fifteen
yards of Lehigh's goal line II two
rushes by Richardson and Ingram. the
ball was put over. the former carrying
IT, Norton kicked the goal.
Lehigh Shows Down in Second.
In the second half, tho let-up on the
part of the visitors was evident. The
Midshipmen found that line plunging
was good enough for ten yards In three
plays and hammered away at it. The
ball was carried eighty yards in this way
and Burg made the second touchdown
Norton kicked a very difficult goal.
After the second score. the team was
almost entirely replaced with substi-
tutes and though there was no more
scoring, the winners had decidedly the
better OF it, Time was called with the
ball in their possession on Lehigh's 5
20-yard line
IN Navy's forward pass play the ball
was passed by Norton to DeMott or
Bernard and it almost invariably re-
suited in a substantial gain. With the
on side kick they were not as successful
and generally beat the bail.
The new rules are beginning TO be
popular here and the frequent kicking
wide end plays, and passes are generally
enjoyed.

and SO when he Is taught anything
new it jars him. Any man with horse
sense would know that 1t takes years
to learn how to rope steers, and keep
from being tipped off the horse, and
run over by procession of cows, but
because pa had lassoed hitching posts
in his youth, with clothes line, with
a slip moose in it, he posed among
cowboys as being an expert roper, and
where did he land? In the cactus.
He was just meat for the natives
to have fun with, and he has sure
been hashed up on this trip. But the
worst of all was this trip to the buff
falo ranch, to secure buffaloes for the
show, and if / was in pas place
would go into retirement, and never
look a man in the face. Pas idea
was that these buffaloes on the ranch
were just as wild as they used to be
when they run at large on the plains.
When we got to the ranch at evening,
pa put in the whole time until it was
tine to go to led telling the ranch
man and his hired man what great
things he had done killing wild ami
mails, and what dangerous places he

but If the worst came he could run
some, but the ranchman said If he
should run that the whole herd would
be apt to stampede on him and run
him down, and he thought pa better
lay down and let them go by.
Gee, but pitied pa when We got
out on the prairie and found the herd.
They were as tame as Jersey cows,
and the old bull. the fiercest of the lot,
with head as big as barrel, came
up , the ranchman and wanted to be
scratched, like big dog, and the
calves and cows came up and licked
our hands. 1t was hard work to drive
them towards pas blind, cause they
wanted to be petted, but the ranch
man said as soon as we could get the
bull up to the top of the ridge, so the
old man would open fire on him, they
would hurry right along to pas blind,
cause they always came to be sailed
at the signal of revolver shot.
So we pushed them along up to-
wards the ridge, out of sight of pa,
by punching them, and slapping them
on the hams, and finally the head OF
the old bull appeared above the ridge

had been in, and what bold things he
had Gone.
He said, while the object of his visit
to the ranch was to buy herd of buff
faloes for the show, the thing he
wanted to do, above all, was to kill
a buffalo bull in single-handed COM
bat, and have the head and horns to
ornament his den, and the hide for a
lap robe, but the ranchmen would be
welcome to the meat. He asked the
man who owned the ranch If he might
have the privilege, by paying for it, of
killing buffalo.
The ranchmau said he would ar
range it all right in the morning, and
pa and l went to bed. After pa got to
snoring, and killing buffaloes in his
sleep, / could hear the ranchman and
his helpers planning pas humiliation,
and when I tried to tell pa in the
morning that the crowd were string
ing him he got mad at me and asked
mo to mind my own business, and
that is something l never could do to
save my life.
Well, about daylight we were all out
on the veranda. and they gave pa in
structions about what he was to do.
The ranchman said it was against the
state laws to kill buffalo, except in
sslf~defense, so pa would have to get

There she blows" said the ranch
man, and then there was another shot
and by that time the whole herd of
about 20 was on the ridge, and the
shots came thick, and the herd started
on a trot for the shed where pa was
to get their salt. When we had count
ed IL shots and knew pas guns were
empty we showed up on the ridge, and
watched pa.
He started to run, with the peck
measure of salt, but fell down and
spilled the salt on the grass, and be-
fore he could get up the bull was so
near that he dassent run, SO he laid
down and played dead, and the buffa-
loes surrounded him and licked I'D the
salt, and paid no more attention to
him than they would to log until
they had licked up all the salt. Then
the bull began to lick pas hands and

that one girl before he should drift
into oblivion.
1t is not at all uncommon for staid
and sober old bachelors who appear
to have drifted so far past the age
of romance that they cannot see back
to that land of glories, to be nursing
secret and hopeless love and getting
lots of comfort out OF 1t.
Wilmont closed his eyes; the dream
fairy, that amiable sprite who tells
us so many pleasant things that are
not so, was leading him gently back to
the old homestead and showing him
about the place, when from the calm
summer sky there burst forth thun-
der clap louder and more terrifying
than the combined report If all of the
artillery in the world were being fired
off at once.
Just moment later he realized that
it was only a firecracker, singing it's
part In the nations jubilee under his
chair.
That might have been considered a
good joke in the days when he was
young, but it didn't appeal to him just
then as such. "Confound those boys!"
he muttered, glazing at group of
celebrators a few doors away, who
were, If appearances counted for any,

An unprecedented
Celebration
By DUNCAN M. SMITH

Fourth of July in boarding house

tached male citizen, although other
wise patriotic and loyal, fully appre-
ciate the efforts Of those who fought,
bled and went barefoot that joy might
find vent once year in the firecrack-
er and all of it's little cousins.
If in addition to that, one sweet,
idealic creature, the repository of all
virtues and the composite picture of
the worlds famous beauties, in short,
the only girl in the world, is out Of
town, is there any reason why man,
the one lone inhabitant of the board
ing house, overlooked in the grand
rush that carried the population to
rural joys, should stay awake?
Hugo Wilmont thought not. He
tilted back the rustic chair on the
narrow porch and closed his eyes to

Chased Bear II DAVIS.

Bangor, Me.-Pearl Jenkins and
Frank Gray, of Temple, started black
bear in Avon and followed him for II
days, when they brought him down in
the Carthage basin, near Saddleback
mountain. They followed him from
Avon, through Temple, Weld, the east
part of Carthage, Washington and Per-
kins plantations. During the pursuit
the bear led the hunters twice over
Saddleback mountain and once over
Bald. The bear from the start showed
much cunning in his tactics to evade
and escape them. The bear was jet
black, with fine fur and was beauty.
He weighed, with the internal parts
removed. 304 pounds.

treat the matter with silent scorn,
when another reminder of the fact
that we licked the British once upon
time sang forth a noisy taunt in the
air at his side.
With bound he was on the lads
and, having seized two by the collars,
began in explosives far from polite to
threaten them with many kinds of
dire punishment which the law in its
infinite wisdom or the kindness of it's
heart does not allow.
Meanwhile the boys were not only
protesting their innocence, but were
threatening him with that awful aven-
ger of all wrongs to whom the suffer-
err turns with all confidence when all
other means fail, the big brother.
1t was becoming an embarrassing
situation, in which Wilmont was look
ing for place to back out, when the
excited voice of young woman broke
on his ears above the general din of
the day.
"Please don't hurt Them" she ex-
claimed. "They didn't do it. I threw
those firecrackers at you myself out
of the window, but 1 didn't suppose
you would take on so about it on the
Fourth of July"
Wilmont turned, and there pleading
before him was the divine one.
I'll beg your pardon" he STAN
mered; "of course didn't mind it."
ooh, l thought from the way you
acted, perhaps you did," she replied,
with a twinkle In her eye.

"You might apologize to the world
through the boys" she suggested.
II will" he replied; but on turning
he discovered they had not waited for
the little pleasantries of life.
."I know l shouldn't have done it."
she said, as they walked back, but
there was no suggestion of repentance
in her voice.
