HOW THEY DO WEST.

And still the western teams-ln- ferior though they are to the east in general football ability-go on doing things in the field goal line that their eastern brethren do not equal. Gra- ham of Michigan kicked two place ment goals against Vanderbilt, and, judging from the description of the game, they were place kicks from scrimmage, too, the hardest kind of field goals. Both were from the twenty-five yard line. Capron of Minnesota made all Minnesota s points against Chicago by drop kicks. We went into rapture here when three drop kicks were made in the Pennsylvania-Swar game, two on one side and one on tho other, but here is one man who drop kicks three goals. Neil Snow of Michigan was umpire of the Michi- gan-Vanderbilt game-a sporty ar rangement that. Snow has the repu- tation of being competent and impar- tial, and that being the case Wander bilt did not care where he came from. The east has yet to parallel this case in it's big games Yet Edwards of Princeton or Sharpe of Yale would doubtless be thoroughly impartial officials for Yale-Princeton game. As umpires they are in class with Thompson as referee.

He is the proprietor of one of the biggest and best paying cafes in Los Angeles. which he recently purchased and is attending strictly to business and drinking nothing but water. There is no man in Los Angeles who is thought better of than Jim Jeffries and the report that he is drinking is without foundation. | left him only a little over a week ago, and he was down to the depot to see Ha of. never saw him looking better.

THE GRIDIRON
CAPTAIN SHAWN
 WELL THOUGHTOF
In His Game With Swarthmore
 His Work Was Remarkable Other News.

Here is how they speak of Captain "Saf' Slavin of this city in the game With Swarthmore the other day:
 For Eillanova, Captain Slavin was the star of the game. In generalship and ill running from his position Slavln put up brilliant exhibition The spectacular feature of the game was furnished by the Villanova cap tain when on the kick off in the sec ond half he raced through the Garnet players and by a run of 100 yards made a touchdown for his team.
 :Durlng the first five minutes of play the ball changed hands four times. Neither side had the advan- tage as the ball remained near the middle of the field Then the Garnet began a steady advance down the held and Williams was pushed over Tor the first touchdown. O'Brien kicked the goal. The second touch- down came after an exchange of pCnts in which the Quakers proited Williams, McDonough and Pritchard made consistent gains. Nillanoya stopped the advance on her own 30 yard line. Here O'Brien fell back for drop kick. Instead of kicking, how ever, the little quarter hurled the pig skin for q forward pass to Rowlands, on the 10 yard line. In three plays SWarthmore registered another score, Williams again carrying the ball back of the line. O'Brien kicked the goal at a difficult angle. The first half ended with the score: Swarth- more F. Villanova O.
 During the second half Villanova took 8 decided brace. Slavin caught the kick off and slipped around the Quakers' left wing for 100 yards and a touchdown. No goal was kicked.
 "Swarthmore went in desperately on the next kick off Slavin was downed in his tracks Barr punted and the ball went to Swarthmore on the 10 yard line. At this point bunch pass was tried. Rowlands grabbed the pigskin and raced to the 3 yard line before he could be down. ed. -Pritchard was pushed over for touchdown. Here Nehls replaced Smith. Swarthmore again marched up the field by means of plays out and inside tackle. Villanova made a bold stand on the 20 yard line and held for downs. Roberts replaced Miller at end for Swarthmore.
 At this stage of the game Swarth- more passed into stage of coma The visitors advanced the ball the length of the field and on an on side kick and long forward pass. Russell grabbed the ball and raced over the line for second touchdown. Barr failed to kick the goal.
 This score gave the Garnet another brace. She marched the length of the field and when time was called only had one yard to go for a touchdown. Final score, Swarthmore IS. Villa nova 10"

Heffner's GeIdine Shows Great Speed
 In Race For All Aaes.

New York. Nov. 7.-The handicap for all ages at the Aqueduct race track resulted in the victory of E. W. Heff. ner's Hastings gelding Okenite. When the barrier arose, he was left flat foot. ed, and it was not until the field was several hundred yards away that G. Swain got his mount going. He trailed his field until the stretch turn was reached, where Swain let him out, and, closing with a great burst of speed, he easily managed to get the honors by three lengths from Tramp, the early pacemaker, who easily beat Purslane out for second money. The winners follow:
 First Race.-Frank Lord, first; Gen. eral Haley, second; w. H. Daniel, third.
 Second Race.-Glenecho first: Lord Stanhope, second; Consistent, third.

GRIFFITH MAKES A DEAL.
Trades Williams and Hoffman for
 Niles and HemphiII of St Louis.

Rumor was busy yesterday fixing up deals for the two New York base ball clubs. One was that Hobe Fer ris, the Boston second baseman, had been bought outright by the New York Americans, and the other that the New York Nationals were to get Fred Penney, the first baseman of the Boston Doves. But here is one deal that was genuine, all wool and bona fide: The New York Ameri- cans and St Louis Americans made dual swap. Griffith traded Jimmy Williams and Danny Hoffman to Me- Aleer for Harry Niles, the fast sec- ond baseman, and Hemphill, the out fielder. Niles is fully as speedy a runner as Hoffman and also good sticker. He led the American league for good part of last season.

 think the slippery field at New Ha-
 ven helped keep Yales score down,
 and I think there is superiority in
 the Yale line that will be an impor-
 tant factor in the Princeton game.
 From tackle to tackle Yale's line is strong enough to go through Prince ton, and the Yale defense is the stiffest I have met this year. James, our left guard, who outplayed Nc Fadden at Princeton, thinks Goebel the strongest man he has played against. Yale will find it very diffi- cult to gain by end runs, while the fast and tricky Princeton backs and their perfect interference will pre- sent a problem that the Yale ends will find hard to solve"
