Ithaca. Sept 26.-Capt. Eddie But ler's goal from placement from the 19-yard line in the last minute Of play scored a victory for Cornell In what looked like a scoreless game with Washington and Jefferson yes terday. The score was three to noth- Ing
 The Ithacans gained a large amount of territory by using the forward pass, but their rushing game was in effective and they lost two good op- portunities to put the ball over from within ten yards of the Washington and Jeffesson goal line
 The visitors had a surprisingly strong team, their line proving more than a match for CorneHs, and their heavy rushing backs plunged through the Cornell guards and tackles time after time for big gains.
 Heyman once broke through and made a dash for a touchdown, and only Buffers sharp tackle on his 40- yard line saved Cornell. In the first half Nash, Fritz and Butler made long runs, but when the ball reached the 10-yard line the backs could not gain through the Washington and Jefferson line.

YALE'S SHOWING AGAINST
 WESLEYAN TEAM VERY BAD EIis Have Hard Work to Beat Light Middle
 town Eleven

New Haven, Sept 26-The bottom fell cut of YaIe's football campaign yesterday when Wesleyan held Old Eli scoreless in the first period, tied the score in the third and kept the home crew to a tie until three min utes before the game ended Only the heroic plunging of Captain Jesse Spa1ding of Yale saved the game for his team.
 With the ebbing minutes almost cozed from the Yale hour glass Spald- ing hurled himself into the onslaught, leading every attack after every oth- CT Yale back was unable to advance and took the ball by the most dogged sort of gains from the Wesleyan 30 yard line to the goal for the only touchdown of the game.
 Spa1ding's irresistible dash gave the victory to Yale 10 to 3, for each team previously had scored field goal by the drop-kick route, and Mark1e sup plemented Spalding's touchdown by a goal from it.
 The game made football history for the season, attesting to Yale the fact that her team is poorly trained and had cramped possibilities only, and showing that little Wesleyan may prove to be one of the meteors of the season Captain Bacon starred for the Methodists. His handling of his

REAL WILD MAN
 CAUGHT IN CAVE REMARKABLE CASE

Poughkeepsie, Sept. 2s-ShrinkinR from all who approached him and seemingly ignorant of the use Of mod ern utensils, Arthur Britton, 40 years old, a wild man" found living In a cave in the Pawling Inountains. was confined, today, in the Hudson river state hospital, that eKpcrts might study him in an effort to understand his remarkable case.
 'fBritton presents a. type as near tho wild man as was ever discovered fn an American country" said pr Wn- liam E. Merriman, a rsychopathfc ex- pert who was with the officers when they captured Britton.
 The man who disappeared 10 years ago, was discovered living unclothed and uncivilized in the cave. The of- ficers had difficulty in capturing him His beard and hair were very long and a soft brown hair covered his entire body. His teeth were strong ana sharp and his shaggy brows gave him a ferocious look Snarling and yelp- ing, he tried to evade capture and when he reached the hospital lashed about like a frightened, wild thing. He cannot talk. He ate ravenously but with his fingers.
 The experts believed that Brftton's mind was affected when he wandered away 10 years ago. They hoped that ne might be educated up to his former state of civilization.

 On the defensive Bacon twice gob- bled forward passes heaved by the Yale captain at the Wesleyan 10 yard s1fne. These were relied upon by Yale as trump cards, and their interception blighted Yale's brightest hopes
 It was Wesleyan's second offense in registering against Yale. Her first tally was cha1ked up in 1889. The first period was scoreless. although the Yale backs showed flashes of form in hurling their rush to the Wesleyan ten yard line, where PhiIbin funnbIed. The Ellis forced the play in the sec ond period and Quarterback. Dyer of Yale, who had just got into the game, booted 8 neat field goal over the bar from the twenty yard line as the half closed.
 Wesleyan showed class in the third period. Captain Bacon lifting his for ward passes till the ball had reached the Yale twenty-yard line, where his field goal was raised. Yale crashed through Wesleyan territory in the fin al period, but twice lost the ball on interrupted forward pe sses. Captur- ing the ball finally at the Wesleyan twenty yard line, Captain Spa1ding led the attack and consumed the ter rftory until he took the ball over
