HOWARD AFTER SCALP
OF STARKVILLE BOYS

Howard will play the strong team Of the
Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical
college at West End park Monday after
noon beginning at $3.50 o'clock.
The game promises to be exceptionally
interesting. Howard hopes to make flne
showing, and will battle to get away with
the decision.
The visitors are ranked stronger than
Howard, but 1t Is probable that there will
be an upsetting of the dope. Coach Long
well has done, strenuous work with his
team since the return from Chattanooga
and the boys are in first-class condition.
The A. and NJ boys are strong this sea-
son. They made a good showing against
Mississippi. Alabama did not defeat Mis-
sippi and Vanderbilt defeated Mississippi
by no bigger scores than Vanderbilt de-
feated Auburn.
This will be Howard's first appearance
in Birmingham this season against a

PLAYED BY YALE

Yale Field, New Haven, November g.
Especial. )-Yale's football was giltedged
today from start to finish and Brown was
smothered by % to 0 score. Never dur
ing the game was Eli's goal threatened
and Yale ploughed through for incessant
gains Browns defense was stubborn,
the first half holding Yale to single
touchdown.
In the second half Yale's artillery drove
the weakened Browns defense back and
brilliant plays were reeled Off by Cap
tain Coy and Philbin. The most spectac-
ular performance of the afternoon was
contributed by Philbin, WHO caught
punt at the Yale 85-yard line and lodged
back through the entire Brown team for
a touchdown after a 75-yard run. Twice
he was tackled but he struggled and
wrested himself away and finally tore
into the open for the score. His per-
Torrance brought up the crowd with a
roar and he finished his run with 1000
spectators in a shrieking frenzy. This was
the only spectacular play of the game
which netted score. Three other Eli
touchdoWns came at the close of a series
of short gains after Yale had recov-
cred the ball at the Brown 35-yard line.
Yales batterlng ram attack was put
in evidence each time. Captain Coy usual
" leading in the advance. Savage. who
was given a tryout for fullback proved
Irresistible during the first half when he
retired
For Yale's first touchdown he and Coy
smashed through the Brown defense
When Browns 2O-yard line was reached
Savage was called upon for. the gains
and he shot through center In two leaps
of 10 yards for the touchdown. Yale had
reached the Brown 30-yard line on an
other rugged attack and had been held
for downs just as the first half closed
with Yale leading, to 0.
In the SECOND half Coy and Philbin
divided the gallopng through the Brown
lines after taking the ball at tho v's'-
tors 35-yard line. Coy was called upon

strong team. The people will rally to the
aid of the Baptsts and will encourage
them by largo attendance. For pa
triotic reasons, Birmingham should root
for the Howard boys, and should encour-
age them by attending and using their
lungs. Howard is making earnest efforts
to get into the running with representa-
tive southern colleges, and this end can
only be reached after Birmingham people
have demonstrated an interest in Howard
athletics.
The betting, in spite of the strength of
the Mississippians, Is about even.
Tickets to the game are on sale at the
Florence cigar store, Browns cigar store,
Empire cigar store, Burnett's cigar store

WALL STREET. NOTES.


Uptown Sentiment-Several railroad
and banking interests who are thor
oughly familiar with the financial
situation and, to a considerable extent,
the political situation in England, are
confident that the rejection of the
budget by the House of Lords will not
seriously disturb our arket In the I'M
mediate future. They believe, however,
hat as a result of the vote Of the
upper house conditions in England will
be greatly disturbed for some little
time, They believe that a little later
on this viii be reflected in both the
money. and the stock market. Several
important interests expressed the
opinion this morning that our market
would have a moderate rally within
the next day or two; in fact, they look
for higher prices today.
EARLY quotations in London show a
slight Improvement in tone in all the
active issues. London advances are
explainsd q. no doubt, by covering orders
from this side and realizing of their
own, now that the worst is known on
the rejection OF the budget. Brokers
look for, a better market today, so far
as prices are concerned. The short In
terests have not entirely flied their
commitments and we're disposed to en-
large their short sales on the advances
yesterday afternoon. Technical; condi-
tons will govern the market for the
next few '.days and traders therefore
ought to expf ct narrow fluctuations and
