It is recognized that there ie no man in the party more capa- ble of answering the speeches of Bur rows and Lodge than the senator from Texas, and on that account there Is a general demand on the part of demo- crats all over the country for his selec- tion.

SALT LAKE HIGH
DEFEATS OGDEN
All Chance for Championship
Is Lost to Junction City
Lads.

The Salt Lake and Ogden High schools
have settled their football differences for
the season of 1908 and the red and black
of the west siders waves above the orange
and black of Ogden. The football SUI
premacy OF the Salt Lake High, after a
lGpse of two years, is again established,
and Ogden's only hope is to muster its re-
sources for next year in an effort TO stop
what appears to be a grand upward trend
in Salt Lake High athletics.
For the second time this year Salt Lake
and Ogden met and for the second time
Salt Lake was victorious. The score was
Is to 0 and left no doubt as to the super
iOrity of the local team. Salt Lake was
at its best yesterday and won the game
because IL played better football. Some
may say the element OF luck was with
Salt Lake, and while this was true as far
as one of the tOuchdowns was concerned.
yet Salt Lake kept the ball in Ogden 8
territory all the time. and on the kicking
game which was played by both sides, 1t
was to be expected that Salt Lake would
have all the best of the argument in any
flukes that might arise. Four times on
these kicks the ball was sent back to
Ogden's goal line, and each time an Og-
den man reverted a tumble into a touch
back. In one of the miXups after the ball
IL was a Salt Lake man who was the
lucky individual and Salt Lake gained
touchdown thereby. Had Ogden been able
to keep the ball down the field this would
not haze happened.

EISELE WINS RACE.
Ten-MIIe Run Is Won in Best Time
for Nineteen Years.

New York, Nov. John T. Eisele, a
Princeton graduate, sporting the colors
of the New York Athletic club, won the
national ten-mile running championship
of the Amateur Athletic Union of the
United States at Celtic park, Long ISL

two competitors. several of whom were
members of the American Olympic
team. Eisele won today's event in 90
minutes 16 Is seconds.
The American record for this dis
lance. 80 minutes SO 2-5 seconds, was
made by the late Willie Day, at Staten
Island, Oct. %, 1889, and Eisele's time
is the best that has been recorded for
this event since that year.

Dartmouth.
PRINCETON BEATEN.
Dartmouth Administers the First
Defeat of the Season.

New York, Nov. Before a wildly
cheering crowd that packed the Polo
grounds, Dartmoaths football team
gave Princeton its first defeat of the
season today, scoring ten points to their
opponents six. 1t was anybody's game
until the final whistle blew, although
the men from Hanover exhibited the
more consistent ball. Pishon, the tiny
quarterback-he weighs but 1875 pounds
played brilliantly. In addition. he di-
rected his team with excellent judg-
ment.
His forward passing brought about
the winning score. Buckingham's short
punt had given Dartmouth the ball on
Princeton's twenty-yard line. Pishon
then called for a forward pass and
hurled the ball Clearly to Schilldmiller
who dashed across the goal. Immedi-
ately before at the opening of the sec
ond half, Princeton secured the ball OIL
Dartmouth's twenty-yard line on a
holding penalty. Successive line plunges
carried the leather over. and Waller
kicked goal.
Dartmouth's other score came in the
first half The ball had zigzagged back
and forth without either side gaining
a decided advantage, when Hanley
finally got away on a forty-yard run
around Princeton's left end, bringing
the leather to the New Jersey mems
thirty-two-yard line. A few moments
later Sherwin fell back for drop kick
The angle was difficult, but he booted
the pigskin squarely between the posts.
On the whole, Dartmouth's victory
was clean-cut, and Princeton is more
than worried over the Yale game next
Saturday.
There were fifteen substitutes, three
men, Marks, Sparks and WEIGH being
taken out for injuries.

Especial to The Herald.)

American Fork. Nov. THE Ameri-
can Fork High school football team
was again victorious today, beating the
South Jordan High by a score of So to
6. From the start it was plainly seen
that the visitors were no match for the
home team. Some very clever work
was done by the local team. two or
three of them making some remarkable
plays by making long runs with the
ball, scoring touchdowns thereby. The
visitors were unable to block the home
boys advance. The coaching they have
received demonstrates that there is
some good material in the American
Fork team. Holding of the home team
made good record in kicking five goals
out of six. Ingersoll refereed the game.
The boys play return game with the
Salt Lake county team next Saturday
at Sandy. They are matched with a
game each with Springville and Pleas
ant Grove, and two games at Provo be-
fore the season closes, and will have a
chance of winning the championship
of the county by city block.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. For the
second time in the history of the foot
ball relations between the universities.
Brown played a tie game with Yale
today. the score being 10 to 10. The
other game occurred in 1895, and ended
to 6. The visitors outplayed Yale in
practically every department of the
game, except that of kicking, and but
for carelesSness in catching a punt
from Yale's goal line in the second half,
and for holding in the line just before
the close of the contest, would undoubt-
edly have won the game.
Browns first score came quickly after
the opening of the first half Hobbs
kicked off for Yale. Brown rushed IL
down TO the forty-yard line. Mckay
and Mayhem carried it twenty yards
more. Spreckling passed it forward to
Dennie. and the latter carried il over

goal. Five minutes later. after Bruce
