 Harvard played a second team for the first three periods of the game The regular varsity eleven went in for the final period, Out could not prevent Thorpe from getting his toe at work.

After giving the Academy eleven a pretty tussle. on the State hospital grounds Saturday afternoon in four
 ten minute periods, the Greenevdlle Heavyweights were finally compelled to take the count by the score of to 0, when the Academy managed to push Swan over in the third period for the only score of the game. The Heavy weights started at a gait that looked as if they were to sweep the students off the field but training and condi- tlon told in the end, and by the time the fourth period was reached the holes in the Heavyweights' line for a steady march towards the goal line by the Academy backheld.

Elliott and Bliss both show cd ground gaining ability when given the ball for tackle through tackle plays, and Croker cauoght the forward rass in fancy shape.
 In the Heavyweights' backfield, halfback Supa was a star with the straight-arm and a hard man to down while Fielding did some great hne- plunging in the early part of the game. Gadle at quarter ran the team in good shape and Jupes Mcintyre played strong defensive game for the Heavy weights, making many tackles.
 First Period.
 Mccormick kicked off to Supa and after an exchange of kicks Fielding got the ball for the Heavyweights on their own 50yard line by leaping into the air and gathering in a forward pass that Mccormick was shooting over the center. From here the Heavyweights started march in quick time toward the Academy goal line, Fielding plugging the line for consistent gains, and Supa sweeping around the ends for a few yards at time. The Heavyweights were out playing the Academy and they brought the ball to the Academy 3-yard line. Here their ca agerness cost them a pen alty of , yards for offside and they were set back that distance. The Heavyweights resorted to a forward pass to make up the necessary dis tance, but the ball was tossed over the goal line before it was caught, giv-

VALE COACHES PLEASED.
Eleven Game Through With No In
 iuries of Consequence.

New Haven, Conn. Nov 12.-Yale came through yesterdays game with Brown without a player being injured so that the team will lose his services in the big games. Camp, who played at left halfback, is complaining of a slight injury where he was kicked in the side. but he was taken out of the game as soon as it happened. The coaches are we'll pleased with the showing made Saturday. especially with the work of the substitutes who were put in to save the regulars from any possible chance of injury.
 New plays which many thought would be brought out by the Blue were rot used, first because it was not necessary to use them in scoring, and secondly because the coaches did not wish to give them away to the liar ward and Princeton scouts present.
 Practice the coming week for the game with Princeton Saturday will be in secret, great attention to be given to further developing new formations and plays. It is expected that the team that lined up against Brown will start the game with Princeton.

VALE FAvoRITE NOW. Football Now in Semi final Stage Minnesota loems Up in the West.

Football has reached it's semi-fin stass. Indeed, in the middle west the week end may see the championship of the '-big eight in that section de- cided, and in the aest may also see the championship Of the "big four'' claimed.
 The Minnesota eleven, whose unin- terrupted succession of victories in the central west has made that team a favorite, will meet tho strong Wiscon- sin team at Madison, Saturday, and if the former wins the championship of the intercollegiate conference will go to Ainnefcta. If the Minnesota men lost andswisconsin is defeated by Chicago a week later, the three teams named will be tied for the champion ship honors.
 The championship of the old s'big four in the east is also likely to be claimed if Princeton wins from Yale next Saturday, inasmuch as the Fig CTS have taken a game from Harvard and have not met defeat this esason. It is true, however. that Princeton's victories over Harvard and Dart mouth have been by the smallest mar gins. and the Tigers have twice been tied-by Lehigh and the Naval Acad- emy.

She has, however, met with one defeat, that by West Point, but her oldest rival, liar yard, has been beaten by Princeton 4nd Carlisle Pennsylvania has been Eliminated by three defeats.

One Touchdown on HeavyWeights
Academy Won Hard Fought Game, 5 to O-score in Third PeriodHeavyweght Showed Strong at the Start

ing the Aca 5emy possession of the !ecther. Mccormick kicked out and the period ended with the ball in the hands of the Heavyweights on the Academy's 12 yard line.
 Second Period.
 On the first play of the second pe- riod, CroSer gobbled up a fCrw arc pass that took the ball out of the Heavyweights' hands. and the Acad- erny punted out of danger. For the rest of the period the play revolved between the 3o-yard lines without either team showing any likelihood of scoring. Quarterback Gadle was knocked out in a head-on collision but was able to resume play
 Third Period.
 The third period showed some of the fiercest play of the game, Croker, Ga- dIe and L'Heureux all being knocked out at different times. The Academy began to get their game going with some show of effectiveness and worked slowly toward the goal line of their opponents. On an onside kick by Swan Ricketts recovered the ball for the Academy 10 yards from the Acad- emy goal, but Popham rescued his team from what looked like certain score by the~Academy when he caught a forward pass that was intended for Croker.
 Mcintyre punted to Swan and on another exchange of punts Jackson re- covered the ball for the Academy within 15 yards to go to a touchdown Mccormick and Swan made first down in two rushes through the line, McCor- mick hit a solid wall and stopped in his tracks, but Swan plunged over for the touchdown through the right side of the Heavyweights' line. McCor- mick failed to kick the goal.
 Fourth Period.
 In the fourth period. the Academy had the Heavyweights backing towards their own goal most of the time, but were not able to penetrate to the goal line against the stiff defense made by the Greeneville boys. When time was nearly up Mccormick tried a place kick for goal from the 20 yard line. but the leather went to one side of the posts. The lIneups and summary: ACADEMY. HEAvYwEIGHTS Boyd. le re.

FREAK SCORING PLAY
 GAVE PRINCETON VICTORY
Drop Kick Bounds Over the Crossbar -Dartmouth Loses. 3 to 0.

Princeton luck gave the Tigers a 3 to victory over Dartmouth Sat urday at Princeton on , one of the freakiest scoring plays ever seen on gridiron. Frinceton's points were scored by drop kick from DeWitt's s toe on the 47 yard line. The ball did not rise more than 10 feet at the start. anc after bounding twice along the ground, took freakish bounce in front of the goal posts and cleared the crossbar. Referee Langford held that d field goal had been made according to rule 6 section II, which reads: "A goal from rhe field is made by kicking the ball from the field of play over the crossbar of the opponents goal in any way except by punt or kick off,"
 Aside from this piece of luck the two teams were evenly matched, and nuthing to nothing score is a fair indication of the comparative strength Of the two teams as they played
 Three times Dartmouth was in a position to attempt a field goal, but except once when Hogsett narrowly missed a goal from the 30 yard line the attempts were poor.

 It was Yale all the way and the Eli stronghold was not once threatened. A crowd of 2O,000 saw the Brown team humbIed.
 Captain Howe started the scoring for Yale shortly after the battle com menced, lifting a neat goal over the bar from the 32-yard line. Later in the same period Camp was showed over for a touchdown and MsDeVitt kicked the goal In the second period Howe again got his nimble toe working and shot another goal spinning be- tween the uprights from the 25-yard line. Then in the third period Fran cis booted a goal from placement straight and true from the B yard line after Dunn had made a fair catch of one Of Sprackling's short kicks.
 Brown showed it's best work by holding Yale for downs once on the 1-yard line, but never threatened the Yale goal.
 From start to finish the. visitors were outplayed and outgeneraled and had it not been for lively little Sprackling, Browns play would have been dull in- deed- SpraclllinE was everywhere and doing everything

 All of the Army's points were made in the first two periods, whenit seem eG only a question of how large total they would roll up. Tn the second and third periods, however, the Bucknell men more than held their own after the Army had substituted all but one regular man.

ONE-HALF BOTTLE OF THE GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY
 ACCOMpLISHES WONDERS

When I sent for sample bottle of Swamp Root, I was in great distress day and night. Before l received sample by mail, I went to our best doctor (and he is second to none in tbis vicinity) and told him how I felt. He put me up bottle of medicine. l was about a week taking the medi- cine, but was no better than when l began. l then began your sample bottle. and before l got through with it, I felt~a change. The scalding sen sation die not bother only f1~ times in the middle of the day. l V ould not have believed such small quantity would have done so much, but before it was gone I learned that our drugglst kept pr. Kilmer's swamp Root and so got a large bottle for one dollar but actually worth one hundred dollars. I only took one large table spoonful three times a day and before I had taken one-half bottle I was all right and have been since. Gratefully yours,

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
HEAVY PROFIT TAKING. Lower Prices Saturday Caused by Ex- tensive Selling Movement.

New York, Nov. 12.-Operations in yesterdays stock market resulted in lower prices in the larger number Of issues, selling representing heavy proht taking and pressure from the bear ele- ment. Professional traders were not successful in bringing about extensive declines, but the general course Of quotations and dealings reflected weak ened technical conditions and a dispo- sition on the part of the substantial interests to make no serious attempt tT move the market to higher levels. When, however. support was needed big advance reported in the last two weeks there is no reason why a reac- ton should not develop Stocks have moved at q rather rapid pace in recent days, and a large short interest has been covered. but it need not be as stunned that because of the reacuonary tendency yesterday and the possibility of declines in tomorrow's trading banking interests, who are the chief owners of stocks as far as the so- called floating supply is concerned, will permit the market to remain for any length of time under bear control.
 Sentiment in banking circles has undergone a marked change in the last week; likewise sentiment in business circles. Financiers and business men are more confident over the future and they evidently intend to go ahead with Splans long dormant for financial and industrial operations involving g large sums of money The acceptance hv the circuit court of the southern district of New York of the American Tobacco reorganization plan has elim- mated the fear of confiscation of pEop- erty under the Sherman anti-t trust law, and the business and mohey communi- ivy now has a fair idea of it's standing 2 under that law and apparently is about to do things that few weeks ago ap- peared out of the question.
 General business conditions have inn proved materially. a reflection of which is found in bank clearings and rail- road earnings, which show gains as compared with this time last year.

Danny MurPhy's Top Line Record ir
 Three Worlds Series.

Besides Bender, says a Boston Sun day paper, there are three other play CTS on the Athletic team who have taken part in all the clubs struggles for worlds series honors-Lord, Mur- phy and Davis. 4
 Of these, Captain Murphy probably sines as the hest. In 1905 Murphy hit safely in three out of the five games. Last year against the Cubs. Murphy got one hit in each of the first three games and finished out with two in each of the next two, giving his a total of seven for the se- ries. This year Dan failed to get a hit in each of the first three games but he got going in the fourth with a pair of doubles; in the fifth he scored one hit and finished strong with four in the sixth thus cqualling his record of seven hits for the year before In sixteen worlds series games Murphy has made seventeen hits. Dan will be good for a few more next year.
