CARLISLE BEATEN.
Minnesota Walked Up and Used For
ward Pass First Time This Year.

Minneapolis, Nov. 23.-Showing the
best form of the season and the best
exhibition of the "open game" seen on
Northrop field this year, Minnesota
completely outplayed the Carlisle In
dams at their own game and won by
the score of II to 6. Minnesota used the
forward pass oftener and with greater
effect than the Indians. They made
several forward passes of forty yards,
and her two ftouchdowns were directly
attributed to these plays. Minnesota
also tore large holes in the Indian line
and outplayed them on straight foot
ball. Minnesota would have scored an
other touchdown had the game lasted
minute longer as the ball was on the
Indians one foot line, with Minnesota
tearing big holes in the Carlisle's de-
Tense, and with two chances to carry
the ball over when time was called.
The Indians were unable to elude the
Minnesota ends on the forward pass
and also fumbled frequently. After the
first few attempts Minnesota easily
solved Carlisle's fake plays.
Each team scored touchdown in the
first half. Minnesota scored one touch
down in the second half, but failed 10
kick goal. The Minnesota goal was
never in danger in the second halt-
Minnesota played throughout the game
with the same lineup, while Carnsle
made frequent changes, especially IN
the second half. Hauser retired from
the game in the second half with blood
streaming down his face. Plankers,
Johnston and Pettijohn played sensa-
tional football for Minnesota, While
Hauser, Little Old Man and Thorpe
starred for the Indians.

This will be the big game of the season.
While Washburn does not rank as among
the best of football teams even in her

plays very creditabie football. Washburn
is not a very large school and probably
this is the reason that she fails to ever

Missouri Coach IMPRESSED

Iowa City, Ia, Nov. 23.-Coach
Monilaw of Missouri witnessed the
Iowa-Kansas game from the side
lines, and used his pencil and paper
freely in taking down the Kansas
plays.
you have a great team" he said to
Coach Kennedy. Much stronger, L
think, than you had last year, but
you need not think for minute that
we are ready to concede you a victory
Thanksgiving day.
81 am well pleased" said Coach
Kennedy. I'VE had our hands full
but / was not surprised. The Iowa
team played a great game of football
and had we not put up the best we
had in the second half we would have
lost the game. The fact that we de-
feated Iowa by the same score that
Missouri did is conclusive evidence
that the Thanksgiving game will be
one of the hardest fought of the
year.

The End Comes Next Week.

In one more week the football sea-
son of 1908 will be a matter of his
tory. There are just two games of i'm
portance to be played in the, east and
one of them will have much to do
with the determination of the premier
honors of the year. On Thanksgiving
day the unbeaten teams of Cornell
and Pennsylvania clash on Franklin
field, Philadelphia, and the same field
will contain the Army and Navy
elevens two days later. From the
standpoint of real football the
Pennsylvania affair will be
the more important, but no game of
the year will attract so much of So
ciety and the diplomatic and ad-
ministrative life of the country as the
Army Navy game. In this respect the
latter game is in a class by itself.
In the west Missouri and Kansas
will play for the Missouri valley
championship at Kansas City Thanks
giving day and Oklahoma and Wash
burn will struggle for the consolation
prize.

PLAYED TIE GAME.
Topeka High School Could Not Win
From Lawrence.

high school football team held the high
school Championship of eastern Kansas
by playing the Lawrence highs to ne
all in the first half. when each team sue
ceeded in making a field goal but neither
over for a touchdown. Topeka had the
ball on the Lawrence six-yard line on
the third down near the end of the first
half but Sears, the Topeka quarter, fear
ing to lose the chance to score, called a
place kick which failed, and the Topeka
boys did not get in scoring distance again
in the game and time was called with
the score to 4.
The game was the last chance of the
Lawrence boys to nab the championship
and they played hard, but could not
break through the defense of the To-
pekans for a score. Topeka defeated Law
renee at Topeka two weeks ago by the
score of 8 to q making two field goals

CHICAGO WESTERN CHAMPS.
Won From wisconsin Through Great
Playing of Steffen.

Madison, Wis, Nov. ga re-
markable 100 yard run by Quarter
back Steffen gave the western football
championship to Chicago. Had it not
been for this run the fierce contest be-
tween the old time rivals, Wisconsin
and Chicago would have resulted IL
to ~. With this touchdown, which
despite the elements which made it
look something like a fuke, was per-
fectly legitimate, made the score:
Chicago IS, Wisconsin IL. The play
which brought about this result was
oen of the most remarkable ever seen
on a football field Sto1hm, for Wis
consin, kicked off to Steffen. who got
the ball on his own 10-yard line near
straight up the field and only two or
three times in his progress was he
compelled to dodge around the tackles.
The Wisconsin players seemed dumb
founded at the rapidity with which the
play was carried off. Steffen ran like
a whirlwind and attempts to catch him
from behind were futile.
The touchdown was scored probably
within thirty seconds from the time
the play began. Chicago scored twice
more in this half, Iddings making both
touchdowns, and Schommer kicking
all the goals. The Chica~0 line was
shifted in the second half, Hirchl go
ing out and Falk coming in, but the
Wisconsin defense had stiffened Won
derfully, and Chicago was unable again
to cross the goal line, while Wisconsin,
strength and strategy. They used the
forward pass in combination with
backward pass, gaining almost in
variably. Forward passes from fifteen
to twenty yards gained nearly every
time and were used frequently on third
downs.
About 10000 persons, including
many from Chicago, saw the game.
The weather was cool, but not enough
to inconvenience spectators. A light
wind blew obliquely across the field.
Aside from the exceptionally brilliant
work of Steffen there was little differ
ence in the offensive strength of the
two teams. There was little difference
likewise in the punting ability OF
Schommer and MoIl. The Chicago
ends however, got down under punts
much better than Rogers and Dean.
Wisconsin was seldom able to return
punts for any considerable distance
Steffen and Schommer seldom failed to
return from ten to twenty-five yards
on punts.

ST. MARYS VICToRS.
Beat NormaIs by Successful Use of
Forward Pass.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 23.-In a
smashing game Quigley's st. Marys
eleven trimmed the Normals by a
score of 20 to here. The game was
full of open play, with many forward
passes, long runs and much kicking.
Whirled off their feet in the first two
minutes of play, during which time
st. Marys made touchdown, the
Teachers steadied down and played
the visitors an even game the rest of
the half. In the second half the Cath
olies came back strong and pulled out
another touchdown and two dropkicks.
st. Marys kicked off to the Normal,
and, gaining the ball on downs, push
ed it over the Teachers goal line in
the first two minutes of play. Then
the NormalS took a brace and the
nearest Quigley's men could come to
scoring were three attempts by Beaky,
the big guard, at goals from place
ment from the center of the field. The
wind was with him, but the ball went
wide. In the second half Captain
Dockery placed a neat drop kick over
the bars while the half was still
young. Then came the sensational
play of the game. With the ball on
their own s0-yard line, Beaky, with
good interference and clever footwork
in the open field, got away for an so
yard run for g touchdown. Another
dropkick by Dockery ended the scor-
ing. The Teachers fought hard all the
time, but after the first half they did
mt have a chance to win. In the sec
ond half Quigley used number of
substitutes to give them all a chance.
The forward pass was used by both
sides a great deal, and while many of
them failed, a number of successful
passes were made for good gains. The
Normals used the double pass to ad-
vantage. For the visitors Dockery,
Kistner and Bennett did good work
while Mulvaney for the locals was cas-
lily the star. Often he was through the
line before the play was we'll under
way. In order to reach home before
Sunday, which is rule of the school,
the ST. Marys team had to take mo-
tors from Topeka. The lineup follows:

HORSEMEN WANT TO VOTE.
Jamaica Racetrack UW Be Closed
on Election Dag.

on the request of a number of horsemen there
will be no racing on Election Day, November 3,
this year This announcement was made at Bel
mont Park yesterday by official of the Metro
politan Jockey Club. who explained further that
as the horsemen appeared TO be more interested
this year than usual in the coming election
the request had been granted in spite Of the fact
that in all probability it would have been the
only profitable day during the fall meeting at
Jamaica
The reason for this request, explained by
one horseman, was that many men might be
prevented from going to the polls on account Of
their duties in getting the horses which we're to
race at Jamaica ready for shipment from the
other Long Island tracks, and that in view OF the
feeling aroused by the passage of the Agnew-
Hart law. the men who make their living at
the racetracks were anxious to protest at the
polls
1t was announced further that the nine day
meeting at Jamaica. which ends the racing sea-
son in this state, would be cut to five days
There will be racing on October 81 % and 81
