by Only One Touchdown.

Philadelphia. Oct. H.-The freshman
football team Of the University Of Penn
sylvania gave the varsity a tough time
Of it to-day, when they lined up against
the latter in regular game on Franklin
Field. They defeated the freshmen by
one touchdown, but this was accomplish
ed only after a hard struggle.
The freshmen started of by drawing
first blood, and for a time things looked
bad for the regulars. Quarter Back john
son, aided by the splendid interference of
Menier and Benson. the two star fresh
man backs. scrambled through a broken
field for a 60-yard run and touchdown.
The score seemed TO give the youngsters
strength, for on the next kickoff they ran
the ball well up the field. Benson. John
son, and Menier taking turns with the
pigskin, each carrying it for good gains
The varsity. however, took decided
brace when the freshmen invaded their
territory. and forced Benson TO boot the
ball. Miller caught Been's long punt
running it back for good gain. Using
Sommer and Macklin on quick line bucks.
the varsity reached the I0-yard line,
when Mackln carried the ball over on a
hard plunge outside Of tackle This even
ed matters up, the score being a tie. At
ter many interesting plays and the hard
est kind OF work, the varsity scored
again.

PENN STATE IS JUBILANT.
Victory over Cornell Encourages
Tenn for Penn Game.

State College. Pa. Oct 4.-State's vic
tory over Cornell at Ithaca puts an en-
tirely different estimate on the strength
of the team from that with which it has
been regarded since the defeat by the
Indians at WIliamsport two weeks ago.
That defeat was looked upon as test
Of the State team, but the fact was not
taken into consideration that when State
went up against the Indians it was with
five new men on the team. who had been
in training only two weeks, while the In
dams had practiced almost two months.
With only practice game with Mari
eta College next Saturday the men need
not be driven SO hard this week. but
special attention viii be given to perfect
them in team work and on the forward
pass so as to have them in shape for
their annual contest with Dickinson at

down after the varsity had fought stub

CRIMINAL CASES NEXT YEAR.
Federal Court Might Convene In Nor

Judge T. G. Munger of Lincoln, Clerk
Chief Deputy Marshal E. M. Mathews
Of Omaha were in Norfolk for the
court session, returning home at noon.
The next regular term of the federal
court in Norfolk will convene in the
third Monday in September, 1908. 1t
is believed that by that time conditions
will have adjusted themselves so that
the new court will carry more sub
stance with 1t.
Judge w. H. Munger OF Omaha open
ed court in the Chadron district Mon
day morning. No cases were ready
for trial at Chadron.
While federal court adjourned in
Norfolk Monday noon and by law is
not required to convene in the city
until next September, terms Of the
court may be held in Norfolk during
the year If sufficient business accumu-
lates in the Norfolk district.
Criminal cases must by the new law
be tried in the district in which the
crime is committed. Civil cases may
be transferred by the agreement of
the parties and the consent of the
court.
If the federal court is not called in
special session in Norfolk before the
year is out there will at least be Grim
inal cases to be tried to a jury next
September. And Judge Munger in
Norfolk Monday said that court could
be convened here when ever business
called for 1t for in theory the federal
court never adjourns during the twelve
months.
