ton this afternoon, and won by a score Of

the Vermonters in every department Of the
game. The visitors stuck TO old style foot
ball, which the stronger Amherst line and
ends had no trouble in breaking up. Mad
den and Cook the powerful Amherst ends,
played all over the field, and handled for
ward passes TO perfection Practically
every one that was tried was successful,
Cook scoring Amhersts touchdown on one
Of thirty-fve yards.
The Amherst backfeld was without Miles,
but played a powerful game. Connolly and
Fits made good use of their lodging abil-
ties for several long gains Madden was
the hero Of the game, with three drop kicks
and a field goal Two Of his kicks were
from difficult angles. The right side of the
Norwich line was much stronger than the
left, and Fits directed his attack against
the latter.
Alyord and Lee, Of Norwich put up a
star exhibition for the visitors. Neither
team had much TO offer in the punting line,
as McGay did not play for Amherst. Fits,
Whiteman and Goblin did the kicking with
honors about even. Whlteman worked the
onslde kick well for Amherst. Norwich
made only two first downs, while Amherst
made The required distance nine times.

Midshipmen Find Op'
ponents Unexpect-
eddy Strong and
Fail to Score.
[By TeleEraph 70 The TrIbune. !

Annapolis Oct. 2S.-Western Reserve put
up an unexpectedly strong defence against
the Naval Academy this afternoon and
succeeded in emerging from the game with
a scoreless tie. just as did Princeton last
Saturday. While the visitors had no at
tack that was at all effective against the
midshipmen, they put up a desperate de
fence whenever the mdshipmen were close
TO their goal line, and on all such occa-
sions were able TO secure the ball on downs.
In the second. third and last quarters the
midshipmen had the ball inside of Re-
serves 1O-yard line, but were never able
to carry it over.
In several departments of the game the
Navy team was easily superior. Dalton
gained an average Of ten yards on each
punt exchanged with Hoagland. and more
still when Hanley did the kicking for the
visitors McReavey, who did the kick
ing after Dalton left the game, was also
better than the hooters OF Reserve.
The Navy lnemen got down under the
kicks far better than those of Reserve, but
the visiting backs, particularly Water
worth, did clean work in receiving the
Navy kicks Occasionally one of the Navy
backs found a hole in the Reserve line, but
generally the work of the forwards was
very even.
At the opening Of the second half the
coaches replaced every forward of the
Navy team at the same time and the seven
substitutes running on the field afforded an
unusual sight. Later the regulars returned.

Adelphi to kick the hall out Of danger.

MICHIGAN GETS A SCARE
Vanderbilt Beaten at Ann Arbor
by a Single Point.

Ann Arbor Mich, oct. 2s.-Vanderbilt
played Michigan to a standstill here to-day
and was beaten only In the last period of
the game. when It could not score the goal
following a touchdown. That gave the
victory TO the Maize and Blue by the
score Of to s. The contest was brilliant
by streaks and individual work was at a
premium.
Michigan outplayed Vanderbilt slightly IN
the first half, but I'm the final two periods
Yost's men fought as fercely and as often
to defend their own goal line as they did
TO batter Vanderbits defence.
Neither team counted in the first two
quarters Each scored a field goal in the
third In the final period Wells, Michigan's
All-American end, crossed the Vanderbilt
goal line. and Captain Conklin kicked goal

Of Vanderbilt, duplicated Weiss perform
ance, but he put too much energy in his
kick-out The oval sailed over the heads
Of his team mates. and Nandcrbits
chance to tie the score with the goal fol-
lowing the touchdown was forfeited. That
failure gave the game to Michigan.
With the exception of the deadly ac-
curacy with which Vanderbilt executed
long forward passes, neither team showed
consistent strength i'm any department.
When Vanderbilts defence was nearly i'm
pregnable the team failed 10 gain: when
the Southerners began TO drive Michigan
back toward the Maize and Blue goal in
the last half the line weakened, and Michi-
gan. retaliating, battered the tackles and
slipped inside OF the ends for gain after
gain. Michigan depended almost entirely
on straight football for gains, nearly all Of
their forward passes going wrong.
Craig was Michigans glittering star
while Captain r. Morrison, who used him
self completely up, and who himself as
sumed the burden of the offence in critical
moments. PLAYED a wonderful game for
Vanderbilt.
