LOCAL BOYS IE IT.

Princeton, N J., Oct l1.-When Princeton met Villanova yesterday af ternoon, there was excitement in plenty, for the Pennsylvanians work ed like Trojans and put up a warm article of football at times. Villanova scored a touchdown in legitimate manner and the final result was 45 to , in favor of Princeton Princeton had been looking for an aggressive team just to see what good the Orange and Black really is. She found it yesterday in NillanOva. The Penn sylvanians were aggressive almost to the pint of pugilism. and several per sonal encounters resulted in the ex- pulsion of man from each eleven from the field. Even at that tot of underhand work passed unnoticed. At the outset a bad feature crept into the game in the form of fumbl- ing when both elevens scrambled all over the gridiron after the loose pig skin. Then Princeton settled down and ripped the opposing line to a total of ? to 0 in during the first half. A whole new bunch of Tigers faced Nillanova in the second round. The visitors played Princeton to a stand still for while. X series of rleverly executed forward passes swept the Tiger subs off their feet. and Russell finally broke through for the first touchdown registered against the Or ange and Black this year. Then the Tigers tore like mad down the field and simply demoralized the visitors It was wonderful exhibition of nerve, which netted three touchdowns. While there is no doubting the fact that Nillanova is stronger than any aggregation that has yet faced Prince. ton, nevertheless the Tigers revealed many weak points which have gone Unnoticed till now. and there will he lively doings in practice to-day. The big score is misleading. because the bulk of it was not made on straight football tactics and was accumulated on fancy plays. such as forward passes against very mediocre ends. Brown and Mister stared at the ex- treme positions, manipulating on side kicks and forward passes nicely. The lineup:

WRESTLING ---=---- RUSSIAN LION
 IS A LAMB Bill Rogers From America Makes Him Take Water--0ther
 Wrestling News.

London, Oct 17.-Hackenschmidt the Russion Lion, whom Joe Rogers Of New York expected to wrestle here, has crawfished out of the match made for him by his manager Charles | Cochran, and Tom ORourke, of New York, acting for Rogers It was a | bitter disappointment to O'Rourke, who had brought his protege from the United States purposely to wrestle Hack. Cochran has split with the Russian Lion because of his throw | down. of O'Rourke and is no longer looking after his interests. Hackenschmidt's only excuse for declining to meet Rogers on the mat was that if he Wrestled him he would have to meet dozen others who are here clamoring for a match He is planning tour of the United States next spring and a defeat now would, Of course, knock his scheme into a cooked hat. Maybe that is why he refuses Rogers.
 Cochran, Hack S" former mana ger, has what he thinks a world beat CT in Zybisco, champion of Switzer- land. Hackenschmidt has repeatedly lodged math with Zybisco and it is open talk here in sporting circles that the Swiss would probably defeat him If they ever stepped on the mat to- gether.
 O'Rourke has challenged Zybisco for Rogers and match is almost a certainty. This will attract the greatest interest here, as the Swiss is touted as unconquerable, and Rog- CTS is thought well of here, too. Ex- perts here who have watched Rogers work in his training quarters pro- nounce the American Apollo a high class athlete and a worthy opponent of the formidable Zybisco.
 If Rogers defeats the big Swiss, Hackenschmidt will have to wrestle him or retire.
 There is no dearth of wrestlers here now and all are busy at theaters, London being wrestling crazy" just at present. Pardouney, the Cossack; Koch, the German champion; Orif Hasson, the Turk, and a dozen minor lights are seen on the mat here every night. It is possible a tournament will be arranged.
 The management of the Oxford theater has offered O'Rourke a two weeks engagement for Rogers and he may accept it to keep his protege in training for his meeting with Zybisco.
 Hackenschmidt's tactics have dis gusted the British public and he will have to reconsider his refusal to meet Rogers or be stamped as being afraid Of the big American, who certainly looks good"

Not only did Leo Caprimi, the Ital- ian wrestler, fail to fulfil his con- tract to pin Jim Barnes twice to the canvas in 60 minutes of actual wrest- ling, but he suffered the added hu- initiation of having Barnes throw him in Graves hall, Springfield, last night. By obtaining a fall from Caprimi after 23 minutes of grap- bling, Barnes, by the rules governing handicap contests, was declared the winner of the match by Referee George Y. Tuohey of Boston. In order to learn just what the New Yorker could do inside of an hour, Barnes agreed to continue until the expiration of the time limit agreed upon, during which period Caprimi secured a fall after 24 minutes.
 Excitement came in punches in the match from the time the men shook hands until they clambered out of the arena. Sparring tactics called forth severe reprimands from Referee Tuohey and rough work, in which Caprimi was the chief offend- CT, was immediately drowned upon. When Barnes slipped a scissors hold onto Caprimi and was touched as the winner by the referee, the Italian seemed unable to realize that he was the loser and persisted in going after Barnes until the third man in the ring interjected himself between the contestants.
 Referee Tuohey was plainly riled up at CapTimis conduct, and stated that he stood ready to back the Springfield wrestler against him in d straight match, so confident was he that Barnes could whip the big heavyweight. He said that he would stake any amount of money, allowing Caprimi to fix the limit. As soon as TuOhey made his offer there were several others who rushed forward ready to plank down money on Barnes and the offer fairly swamped Caprimi for a time. IL was finally agreed by the Italian to meet Barnes to talk business for the match.

Matte usually keeps in pretty good trim, but he wants to be in the pink for his bout with Young Kenney, as it will be their sixth meeting. They had four draws and Kenney received the decision once. Mattle expects to even matters up this time. He took a dog trot to Plainville and back yesterday and was ready for d little shadow fight ing after brief rest Baldwin is to box Kid Sullivan at Baltimore on October 29 and he will also meet the winner of tic Johnnie Somers and Bert Reyes bout in New Haven on November l.

Wild Tobacco OF Colorado.

Prof. Fritz Knorr of Colorado AS-
ricultural College has found tobacco
growing wild in greatest profuslon
In the Montezuma valley of Colorado.
Prof. Knorr is a native of kentuc-
XIV and knows tobacco culture all
the way from planting the seed TO
breaking the necks of the big green
worms. While attending the farmers
institute at Cortez, in the Montezuma
valley. Prof Knorr was asked TO
suggest a method Of Graduating q
very troublesome weed. He took q
sample of the weed to examine and
was amazed to see in it very fine
specimen OF wild tobacco. Il seems
that none of the farmers there We're
familiar with the tobacco plant and
did not recognize the obnoxious weed
as the ancestor of the cigars they
were smoking.
1t Is believed that tobacco was
raised extensively in the Montezuma
valley ages ago by the cliff dwellers
the lost race that left so many evil
dences OF their civilization and yet
not a line of their history. The Wild
tobacco plant flourishes there In
great profusion In yicinities thought
to have been cultivated by the mys-
terlous race and along what Is be-
lieved Ia have been once their irri-
