AUTO STRIKES FOUNTAIN
Commissioner Bowman Seeking Reck-
less Autoist

The fountain in the triangle at the
junction of Derry and Mulberry streets
was struck by an automobile at 3
o clock last evening and knocked about
six inches west. There was no other
damage TO the fountain but it is be.
lieved that the auto suffered the most.
That is not all. City Commissioner
Bowman will institute a search for the
autoist and make him pay for displae-
ing the fountain if he is discovered.
The late Mayor Maurice C. Eby, who
was president of the Dauphin County
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, secured the fountain for
Harrisburg from the National Humane
Society. The accident did not hurt
the water connections and it could be
used to-day as usual.

81 Associattd Press.

Princeton, Nov. 14.-The Yale
squad was first on the field shortly aft
er 1.S0 and was followed almost i'm
mediately by the Princeton cheering
squad, which, headed by band, pa
raded around the field.
The Princeton team came on the field
at 1852, amid the cheers of the Tiger
supporters.
Yale won the toss. Yale scored in
the first period on forward pass, but
the try for goal failed. Yale, 6;
Princeton, 0.
Tigers Kept on Defensive
During the first quarter Princeton
was kept almost entirely on the de-
fensive by Yale's open field attack.
The Tigers defense proved just as in
adequate to this method of offense as
against Harvard s close formation plays
a week ago. Princeton was forced to
punt frequently and briggs was out
distaneed by Legore in his punting
duels.
Princeton Completely outplayed
During the first half of the game
Yale completely outplayed Princeton
ON the otfense. Using forward and lat
eral passes, eleverly mixed with short
line plunges and end runs Just outside
tackle, the Blue constantly forced the
ball into the Tigers territory.
The Princeton defense against the
ordinary line and wing tip charges at
times proved sufficient to hold the Blue
in check. Whenever this occurred,
however, Yale Immediately turned in
another forward or lateral pass, with
the result that in majority of cases
another first down was scored. Both
touchdowns came as a direct result of
these wide open and overhead plays
Legore constantly outpunted briggs
in the exchange of kicks and Prince
ton s policy of returning these punts on
the first or second lineup gave little
opportunity to gauge the offensive
strength of Princeton against Yale dur
ing the first thirty minutes of play.
In the second period Yale scored an
other touchdown. Score: Yale, Is;
Princeton, 0.
Yale scored third touchdown in
the third period but failed to kick the
goal. Score: Yale, 19; Princeton, o.
Princeton, n. j., Nov. 14.-Fine au-

who jammed into this historic place to-
day to see the annual contest between
those old rivals, Yale and Princeton.
The town was crowded last night with
old graduates back to see the struggle
and TO meet the comrades of their
youthful days. The added seating ca
pacity afforded in the new stadium and
the Increased transportation facilities
induced a greater crowd to come to

New York. Nov. 14.-The annual
meeting between Yale and Princeton in
the new Palmer stadium at Princeton
overshadowed all other gridiron con
tests in the Eas, to-day, although the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS game at Phila.
delphia and the wn-Harvard con
test at Cambridge gave promise of
keen sport and surprises were predicted
that NAV serve to further complicate
eastern football statistics for 1914.
In the seasons scores Yale has done
better than the Tigers. The New Ha-
ven team has piled up 159 points in
seven games, as against 73 for Prince
ton in the same number of contests.
Both teams have been defeated, Yale
falling before Washington and Jeffer-
son and the Tigers being humbled by
Harvard. In Dartmouth, the Pennsyl-
vania team meets an opponent well in
the fore rank of eastern teams and fre-
quentlv accounted one of the three
strongest. so that repetition of last
year S victory over the Quakers is not
unexpected.
Other Interesting Games
Results from two inter-sectional
games will be awaited with interest in
the East. Cornell meets Michigan at
Ann Arbor and hard, fast struggle is
expected Carlisle plays Notre Dame
at Chicago. Other games of the East
