ANNAPOLIS, Md, October "a, 1908.
A fiuke play in the second half was
all that kept the Harvard eleven from
going down to defeat this afternoon
before the Navy team at Annapolis,
when the contest ended in a tie game
6 to 6.
The Navy boys had scored touch
down and kicked goal in the first half
after but six minutes OF play and were
holding their own against the Crimson
team, when. shortly after the kickoff
of the second half, after LANCE had re-
ceived long punt and Navy was carry
ing the ball up the field for good gains,
Richardson tried line plunge, and in
the scrimmage which followed Nourse
scrambled to his. feet with the ball and
ran sixty yards for a touchdown. after
which Burr kicked goal. Navy had
scored its touchdown on forward pass
from Lange to Reifsnider. Navy had
a good chance to win the game about
the middle of the second half when, with
the ball on the 25-yard line, Lange
dropped back and tried for a goal. but
the ball went few feet outside of the
post, although it was clean, high kick.
Big Crowd on Hand.
1t is estimated that over 5000 people
attended the game. Special trains from
Washington and Baltimore brought a
large number of persons from those
cities. The Harvard alumni, with their
friends, were much in evidence, and
cheered Justify for the Crimson team.
Long before the game was started the
several stands on either side of the field
We're packed and standing room within
eyesiSht of the contest was at a pre-
MUM. The naval cadets were seated
on the east side of the field and during
the intermission sang several songs and
cheeTed for their team. The Harvard
rooters occupied the west side of the
field, and, although they were outnum-
bered by the Navy followers, they did all
in their power to help the Crimson team.
Old Timers on Hand.
Among the noted foot ball stars of for
mer years along the side lines were Jim
Hogan of Yale, who was busy getting
pointers for his university on the Harvard
team work: Charley Daley of Harvard
and West Point; Ogden Reid of Yale;
Gresham Poe of Princeton; Mike Thomp-
son of Georgetown, and Barnard of Har-
ward
and. as result. there were but few pen
alties. The Crimson team this year is
much better than the one put out by that
university last season, and the followers
of the Crimson were confident it would
offset the fact that the Navy team had
eight men of experience in the lineup.
Harvard could do very little with the
Navy line, and Quarterback Cutler. after
trying number Of plays through the
line positions, shifted to end runs. just
outside of tackle, where his team was
able to gain some ground. Capt. Burr,
who did the punting for Harvard, secured
an advantage over Dalton. although the
Navy man made some fine kicks.
Forward Pass Successful.

three times and was successful in each,
although one of them was not for a long
gain. Harvard presented several trick
plays. one of which was fake kick,

left tackle for 10 more, and Jones tried
a play at the same place, but did not gain.
Navy Makes Touchdown.
At this LANCE called for forward pass
and Reifsnider ran around the line and
took the throw on the other side Of the
touchdown after but six minutes of play.
Northcroft kicked goal. The interior
ence of the Navy men on this play was
quite noticeable. The score was to 0.
Navy was penalized Is yards before
the next kickoff, because boy carried a
bucket of water on the field without the
permission of the officials. Richardson
caught the ball from the KICKOFF and ran
back 10 yards before being downed

making long gains through the line and
scoring almost at will. No trick plays
were resorted to on account of the soggy
grounds, which hampered the work of
both teams greatly. The condition of
the field broke up the NJ. A. C.'s only
chance of scoring by eliminating all
speed work, on which the Farmers re-
lied. Although drowned in weight, the
:Maryianders fought gamely to the end,
holding the university men on their =
yard line when time was called. The
sloppy ball also proved disastrous to
the visitors, when Crapster threw the
ball behind him in a forward pass and
Eickhoff recovered II. The absence OF

Dangerous Only Once.
The NJ. A. C. lads only once were near
the goal of their opponents. when Byrd

ders fell on the BAH. They were forced
to kick nearly every time they got the
ball and, as Sylvester's punting was
not up TO standard. the Washingtonians
gained many yards on the return. On
the other hand, George Washington car
ried the pigskin well.
George Washington made their goals
In quick succession on long runs by
Crafts, Hamilton and Ellis. The goal
kicking OF Witten was OF the best. miss
ing but one goal. Hamilton made the
first touchdown after two minutes of
play ON a run of 20 yards. Hart
kicked to Saunders. who brought the
oval back but little. After several scrim-
images NJ. \. G. fumbled and Hamilton
recovered on the 40-yard line. Hamil-
ton on a left-end run made 10 yards, and
Daugherty added 10 around right
end. In the next scrimmage Hamilton
made the touchdown through left tackle
Written made an easy goal. The Mary

FRANKLIN FIELD, PHILADELPHIA.
Pa. October 24-Before a record crowd
of 10000 the Carlisle Indian School eleven
played Pennsylvania TO a standstill on
Franklin Field in one of the most bitter
battles ever waged on the foot ball field
The score was to 6, and when the final
whistle blew the ball was in the possess
sion of the Indians on PENIS 5O-yard
line. Penn scored early in the first half
by fierce playing that gave every indica-
ton of an early victory. The Indians
were swept aside and their favorite plays
failed to work for any large gains. This
score acted like galvanc battery on the
Redskins and they played like madmen.
In the remainder of the game the Penn
PLAYERS were rushed off their feet, and
only couple of unfortunate fumbles and
three missed field goals. after the tireless
Indians had made brilliant gains for al
most the length of the field, prevented
them from winning. The second half
started with the Indians aggressive, and
within twelve minutes they had scored
the touchdown and goal that tied up he
game.
Thorpe a Wonder.
Twice within the last ten minutes the
Indians rushed up within striking dis
tance of the goal, losing the ball once on
a tumble and again on a poor try for
field goal. The wonderful Indian kicker
failed dismally in his tries for field
goals. but he amply repaid by his re-
markable work in every other depart
ment. His running in the open field was
the greatest seen on Franklin Field in
years. He had the speed of Splinter
and the agility of a cat. He had numer-
Gus runs of twenty and thirty yards. and
his brilliant dash of forty yards through
the entire Penn team in the second half
scored the only touchdown. He also
kicked the goal from a difficult angle.
The Indians as usual. sprang some of the
most sensational plays ever conceived. AT
least half dozen had never before been
used. Several involved three and four
passes. but they worked faultlessly. Their
most successful was triple criss-cross,
and it never failed to gain ground.

a star for the Indians. particularly in

Wet Grounds and Small Attendance
Cause Of Pushing Forward
Scrap Of Rivals.

Because of a small attendance and the
soggy condition of the grounds 1t was
mutually agreed by the managers of the
Georgetown and North Carolina foot ball
teams to call off the game scheduled for
yesterday. 1t was decided to play the
game Monday afternoon. There was a
steady downpour at the time set for the
game. and the grounds were in a very
poor condition.
The rain did not prevent the local team
from getting little practice, however,
and To-Day the team will hold secret prac-
tice behind closed gates.
Georgetown Field is at the disposal
of the North Carolina men, who will un-
doubtedly get in little of the secret
work themselves. The postponement of
the game will materially help the Blue
and Gray boys. as 1t is expected and
hoped that O'Rourke and Stewart will
have recovered. from their injuries by
the time set for tomorrow's game, and be
able to play. The men who will offlciate
tomorrow are Mr. Eisman of Johns Hop

1t was announced by the respective
managements that the team will line up

ROBERTSON DRIVES CAR AT
RATE OF 64.4 MILES AN HOUR.
One Of the Closest Finishes on Rec.
ord-Lytle on Heels
Of Winner.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 24-The great
automobile race for the Vanderbilt cut,
the blue ribbon event for motor cars on
this side of the Atlantic, is all over and
for the first time the cup has been won
by car designed and built in the United
States by an American and of American
materials Moreover, the driver Is an
American. The winning car is the big
120 horsepower locomobile, and the driver
is George Robertson.
Robertson drove his car over the 25S. 6
miles of the race course at an average
of GA miles an hour, higher average
speed than has ever before been attained
for the entire distance of a Vanderbilt
cup race. His time was hours 4S 10
seconds. Just behind Robertson and the
locomobile came Herbert Lyle with the
lsotta car that won the Briarcliff race
last spring. 1t was one of the closest
finishes on record, the 1sotta finishing
only 1 minute IS 1-5 seconds behind the
American car.
Crowds Break Up Race.
William X Vanderbilt, jr.'s, Mercedes
unofficially was third, but its time was
not taken, for as soon as the first two
cars roared over the line the crowded
thousands that had been hanging upon
The deeds of the racers for hours broke
all bounds and simply poured out over
the course. making things look so peril
Gus that the committee at once deter
mined to call the race ended.
The speed at which the American car
travelled may be imagined the better by
comparing it with the record made by
other Vanderbilt cup winners. 1t was
Hemory who won with q Darracq in 1906,
and made an average speed of 81 40 miles
an hour. In 1907 another Darracq, driven
by Wagner. took the cup. with an average
speed of 81 .43 miles an hour.
Track Was Sticky.
In all probability a speed of better than
seventy miles an hour would have been
made by the winner had it not been that
the track was sticky from the rain that
fell during the early hours of the morn
ing.
From one point of view it was rather a
tame race. Not an accident of eonse-
quence happened to any of the drivers or
mechanicians who travelled in the flying
cars. The most serious casualty, so far
as they were concerned, was the smuggling
of the mustache of Foxhall Keene, when
the Mercedes car, driven by Mr.. keene,
took fire. Mr.. heene leaped from the car
and busted himself in extinguishing the
flames.
