FIERCE TIE BATTLE
ON MARSHALL FIELD
Wisconsin and Chicago Strug-
gle to a 6-to-6 Tie
Game.

MARSHALL FIELD, CHICAGO, ILL.,,
November 20.-Wisconsin and. Chicago
battled to a sensational 6-to-6 tie game
on Marshall Field today, and when the
final whistle blew there was no advan-
tage on either side. Both teams scored
in the first half. but in the second
neither could add to its total. The
result of the game leaves possession Of
second place among the western teams
still undecided. This is the second 6-to-6
tie Chicago has played within the last
eight days.
Both teams played raggedly at times.
Most OF the plays were old-fashioned
but now and then there was a forward
pass. an onside kick or a triple pass.
While it is hard to pick any one man
for individual honors. great credit must
be given to Anderson, the Wisconsin
right half. AT times he appeared to be
tackled for a big loss, but wiggled out
and ran down the line for substantial
gains.
Rogers, Worthwine and Badenoch
played we'll.
The Wisconsin team was without the
services of two of its stars. Culver and
Moll, who were kept out of the game on
account of injuries.

TRINITY COLLEGE
SWAMPS HAVERFORD

PHILADELPHIA. November 2O.-Trinity
College defeated Haverford College this
afternoon in their annual foot ball con-
test on Walton. Field at Haverford by
the score of II to 0. One Of the features
of the game was the openness Of play, in
which both teams INDUCED frequently.
Trinity scored two .touchdowns In the
first twenty minutes OF play, the half
ending IL to 0. Haverford took a wonder
full brace in the second period, but was
unable to overcome the visitors superior
playing. The home team frequently held
Trinity for downs, but could not keep
Trinity from again scoring. Another
feature was a 6O-yard run by Ramsdell
for the third touchdown. He played a
fine all-round game. A large crowd saw
the contest.

GUNNERS
DEFEAT ATHLETICS
Alexandria Boys Shut Out in
Loosely Played Foot
Ball Game.

Seaman Gunners, 16; Alexandria Ath
letic Club, 0.
The Seaman Gunners' foot ball team
wreaked a rich vengeance on the Alex
andria Athletic Club at American League
Park yesterday afternoon when the lads
from across the Potomac were swept
under by salt wave and beaten, Is to 0.
few weeks ago the gunners went to
Alexandria and were beaten IL to by
the athletic club. Nobody was killed in
yesterdays game.
The trouble was that Cockrell, lAlexan-
dria's crack halfback, could not play and
the visitors were lost without him. Some
said Cockrell was kept away by parental
objection. Another report was that the
hard hearted boss of the glass works he
is employed in would not let him off.
Anyhow he was not there and Alexandria
could not score.
The gunners were very much there.
Also a hundred or more able Seamen,
who crawled into the grandstand early
and rooted hard. In their yells that
was lacking. but for fervor and intensity
they left nothing to be desired. Their
siren yell was a big feature of the game.
Back of the line for the navy lads were
Edwards and Scott, left and right half
backs. respectively. On them did the navy
pin its faith and not in vain. Both played
great foot ball.
Come on, Scotty," the tars in the stand
would yell. and Scotty would come on
Scott made two touchdowns and when he
finally retired in the second half, eX-
hausted and much skinned about the face,
King took his place and made another
Edwards failed to kick two goals from
touchdowns, but was successful in his
third attempt.
Everybody played the best he could,
but the game was characterized by
chronic fumbing on both sides and many
penalties. But one forward pass was
worked successfully. In the second half
McMeekin, the navy quarter. sent a good
one to Scott which resulted In a touch
down. Most of the time the forward
passes would either hit the ground or the
left ear of one of the players.
Conspicuous on the side lines was Lieut.
Osterhaus, L. 8. n, naval aid to Presf-
dent Taft and coach of the gunners' team.
Osterhaus used to play quarterback at
Annapolis.

SOCCER COACH SELECTED.
Georgetown Makes Big Move To-
ward Taking Up New Game.

With the old rugby game practically
abolished, at least for the time being.
Georgetown is losing no time replacing 1t
with soccer. which many believe will
succeed in popularity as the fall sport of
the colleges. For the past week the Hill
toppers have been endeavoring to secure
the services of a coach to take charge of
the class teams and their efforts have
been rewarded with success: Yesterday
President Carlin Of the athletic associa-
ton had a long conference with Robert
B. williams, for a number of years one
Of the famous CALIFORNIAN team. with the
result that commencing the Monday after
Thanksgiving Williams will have charge
Of the class teams at the Hilltop school.
With the selection Of capable coach
Georgetown has completed practically all
the preliminary plans toward installing
the game. Beginning a week from Sun
day class battles will be played for the
championship Of the college and If pos
sible a contest with an outside team will
be arranged for some time in January.
1t is hoped that in this way sufficient in
terest will be created among the students
to get large number of candidates out.
In which case the games can be made at
thing can be done toward educating the
public.
Should any other schools in this section
of the country take up the sport it is
probable that a schedule will be made for
next year without any further delay. A
number of northern schools already have
soccer teams and negotiations will also
be started with these. 1t is also believed
that soccer clubs will be formed indie
pendently In the city, in which case there
should be no trouble in listing an attrac-
tive bunch of games.
INQUIRIES among the students indicate
that a great many have intentions of 60
ing out for the class teams. II this should
prove true the lads on the height may
find that they have lots Of material from
which to build up representative ag-
gregation and this will do a great deal
toward bringing them around to the new
state of affairs. Just at present there
are some who are hot for the reinstate-
ment of the old game, so that there prom

will then rest between them to show
which sport Is the better, and hence there
promises to be great deal of rivalry
between the two parties before either side
of the question is finally put through.
The ultimate settling of this will prob
ably be late in the winter after the meet
Ing of the intercollegiate rules committee
Is held and after soccer has been given a

First Cantaiever 8ridue.

The first cantaieyer railroad bridge Is the one across the Firth of Forth at Queens Ferry. Scotland. It Is nearly one and half miles in length. Fifty one thousand tons of stee, were used in it's construction, employing as many as 5000 men at one time. It cost $18,- OOOO0O and fifty-six lives. The work men began at either end and worked toward the center. When they met and undertook the last connection 1t was found that the two ends lacked a small fracion of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion ot the bolts that were to complete the span. For time this was puzzle. but was finally solved by an ingenious workman who suggested expansion by artificial heat, and 1t was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel glrder.

An imaginative Statesman.

? Imagination Is the greatest moving force In the world In saying this am merely repeating remark of Dis raeli's. and to prove the strength of his conviction I will repeat story Mr Lowell told me when he was minister to England. It Is the custom of the Royal Academy of Painters to hold 8 private view of their pictures before the public exhibition. Disraeli, walk ing arm in arm with Browning through the galleries. said. What strikes me most forcibly here is the lack of ina agination," and he proceeded to enlarge upon the power of imagina- ton, declaring 1t to be the greatest force in the world. In responding to a toast at the banquet which followed the private exhibition he dwelt upon the wealth of imagination in evidence on the walls about him and again ex- pressed his conviction that imag1na- tion is the moving force in the world, Browning repeated Disraeli's first re- mark to Gladstone, who sat beside him, and he muttered, "The devil"'- John Trow bridge in Atlantic.

A Ticklish Moment.

If to act clever!y on the spot Is the measure of tact. then the man who figures In the subiOined New York Tribune story deserves both respect and admiration: \ woman. driving through New EnSland last summer. noticed suddenly that her horse limped bit, so when she reached the next village she stopped at the door of the blacksmith shop. A man was holding up the doorpost, and to him she said:
 Will you please tell the blacksmith to come out? want to see him"
 After the manner of the village idler, the man did not stir. but smiled sweetly at the woman and, lifting np his voice, called:
 ''I;ill. come out, There's a lady wants to see you"
 From the depths of the blacksmith shop a deeper voice roared
 'Is she young. John or old? ?"
 In the words of the old poem. "she looked at John and John looked at her" 1hen. still without moving. he answered:
 ''you'li ba sat1sted, Riil, when you get out"

The Middle Horse.


 A farmer, blowing with three horses hitched abreast. noticed that the mid de horse became tired and exhausted long before either of it's mates. As the animal was the equal in every way of the other two, he was puzzled as to the cause of It's not being abl' to stand the same amount of work He finally observed, however. that as they drew the blow along the three horses held their noses close toSeth CT. with the result that the middle horse was compelled to breathe the ex- pired air from its fellows. The farmer then procured a long jockey" stick. which he fastened with straps to the bits of the outside horses. The device worked perfectly. for, given its right full share of good. fresh air. the mtG die horse was able to do the same amount of work and with no greater fatigue than it's fellows.
 Many persons are like the middle horse-they do not get their rightful share of pure air. And this is why they are not able to perform as much work nor of as good q quality as they would otherwise be able to do.-Ch- cago Tribune.

Willing to Hsip.

Lord Pauncefote suffered SreatIy from rheumatic gout in bis latter days' and he walked stiffly and sometimes had to use two canes. He went one afternoon to make call, and he re- mained quite long time, so long that the horses got restive, and the groom walked them up and down the street. When Lord Pauncefote left the house the carriage was not in front, ana. thinking there was some mistake ID his orders, he started to walk to the embassy, which was only a square or two. But he had twinges of his ola enemy, and the pavements were Icy. He was a large, heavily built man, and he feared a fall While he was pondering over his dilemma along came a young man in working clothes. and the British ambassador, after a courteous salutation, asked: My friend, will you walk beside me and help me home? It is just short ways. but l am afraid of falling. l shall greatly appreciate It." The young man looked him over and then said thickly, "Old gent. l am pretty full myself, but I'll do the best 1 caa-ths very best can.'
