Army Beats Springfield
In Last OF Home Games

West Point. N. Y, Nov. l9.-The
Army beat the Springfield Young
Mems Christian Association training
school yesterday in the last home
game of the season, u to 2. The
cadets have gone through the season
without single defeat. The visitors
attack lacked drive and power and
their line yielded at critical times.
The West Point men also were ragged
in their work. Oliphant made some
sensational dashes, eliminating in his
touchdown and goal. Vidal's long
runs and his pretty field goal from the
thirty-yard line also were features.
Cole was thrown behind his line for
a safety in the last period.

Brown had never defeated Harvard
in the history of the two schools.
Harvard had a great team and was
expected to make mincemeat for the
Thanksgiving dinner out of Pollard,
the big dinge half back, and the rest
of the Brunonians. So Brown only
beat Harvard, q to 0, and was kind
and generous to keep the score that
low.
Tufts started out the season by
slipping Harvard a dose of defeat.
Then the schoolmasters barely beat
Indiana, II to TO- and got walloped

Nebraska defeated Ames, and Ames

downs. 1t will be even money the
only way for the Cornhuskers to

Notre Dame team drop dead And
that, according to the way the dope
has been running these beautiful fall
months, will make it cinch for the
Cornhuskers to trim up the Catholics
on Thanksgiving day.

The Cruise Of the Dora Bassett.
After that there was a kind of
tableau, same as them they have
at church societies, the crowd
taking it all in.
Hartley got up and bowed. The
young woman held out her hand.
But afore he would take it, she
seemed to remember something,
for she dropped the hand and
turned to the boy, who was on
his feet by this time looking down
at the relics of his clothes.
"You naughty boy!" says she.

Then Major Philander showed
her arm into his and headed for
the hall. Hartley looked kind of
set back like. Then he takes the
boy by the hand and falls into
the Majors wake. Me and the
doctor trailed along behind.
The little chap was chirping up
to Hartley all the way. What
worried him was when he was
going to get his five dollars. Mar
