\ GOOD DAY FOR THE UNIVER­ SITY OF PUVVSYLiVAMA.

Prinoeton at I,nut Forced to Bow Be­ fore the Fliilailelpliia Institution

Yale Reals WcMleyan.Princeton and I' ' :ia University

jlaycfl their first ci. ,< iraoie of the irason on th« «i tlie German- iown Cricket Ciub, ut Mmilifira, Philadel­ phia, Nov. 5. and for the first time tliu tiger ,f,,ii v. i .. rr| (j own before tlie red

IP - <*) people and tlie great >ark wiu a scent; of' wild excitement from the. n»ment Uie two teamn entered the field. lv< -•• ••••••• ' o had the colors of either of thein; md everyone did have them f:r. M! rilihons and cheered wildly it every move, which gave either of the teams he slightest advantage.

KXCITKD SPECTATORS.Wild and delirious excitement greeted

Pennsylvania's goal, which win kicked a ihort time after the play began. When the ler.ond half was finished and the Princeton Tigers had succeeded in making but four Ihiints to offset the six scored hy the Univer- lity, the scene was one which outdid any ever * i incised on any field.

The boys were delirious with excitement, llie girls almost outdid them in the display if enthusiasm, old-timers who hud waited pa- lienlly for sixteen years for the 'Varsity to lake Ihe Tigers into camp hugged eauli other mil danced around like school hoys, mothers ind fathers frantically waved lli« colors of 'Old I'enn," while half the older pe>ple in the grounds hraved the danger ot sore throats ind helped the boys in their efforts to make ihe college yells reach to the centre of tue tit jr.

I'lfiy was culled at 2.40 P. M., with Prince- Ion i<i pow-ession of the ball nnd defending Ihe eastern goal. Both teams were somewhat erippled, but both put tip an article of foot bull that was of the highest order of merit. fortune was kind to the Pennsylvania play­ ers in giving them the choice ol goals, so that they played the first half with a strong wind >t their backs, which died down in the sec- Mid half. The absence of some ot Prinee- ton's strong players weakened thrleam some­ what, yet no one who saw the skillful work of (he Pennsylvania eleven would venture to predict a different result under any circum- Btnnces. For the first time since the inter­ collegiate toot ball contests began the Penn- lylvania team fairly outclassed their old an Lagouials in every department of the game.

THE FIKST HALF.The wind was blowing almost a gale rtowr

Ihe field from west to east and Captain Sclmfl chose the west goal and gave Princeton the ball. With Balliett ut their head the Tigers formed into a "V" with the Pcnnsylvaniaa opposite to them. Balliett touched the ball upon the ground nnd the Princeton wedge started its onward rush lor Pennsylvania's goal. For five yards the wedge went through Pennsylvania's line and then stopped. As the two teams lined up ooposite each other the superior weight of the Pennsylvania!!* was apparent. The ball was snapped back to uarter hack Morse who passed it to King. King made no gain and iu a few seconds Princeton lost the ball on a fumble. As soon s the ball came into Pennsylvania's posses lion the tactics it intended lo pursue were disciaieJ. Its heavy rush line was hurled ngainsi Princeton'g centre, and n fatal weak­ ness at that point was at once disclosed Again and again the Pennsylvania rushers made openings for their backs, between centre Balliett and left guard Fisctis. Slowly but surely Princeton was borne back. Finall) Thayer punted, and Poe got the ball auc started to run with it. lie was promptly downed by Maekey.and Pennsylvaniagaineij possession of the ball on four downs. Again did Pennsylvania pursue its rushiug game. Ihfi hall approached within perilous proxim­ ity of Princtton's goal.

PENNSYLVANIA'S A.DVASTAOR.The hall had been in play twelve minutes

when Vail passed it back to Camp, and, aiile< by the interference of Schoff, Thorntun am Beese, the veteran half back dashed around the right and scored a toiK-h-down.

The touch-down was away to one side, and Thayer kicked the ball to Vail for a free kick The little quarter back caught it and Thayer kicked the goal. A wedge was again started Both sides lost and won the hall Severn times, but five runs by King and Poe brought it to within fifteen yards of Pennsyl vauia's goal. With a chance to score, Cap­ tain King made an error. Instead ol following np his play by a run around theendhehurlec his men against the Pennsylvania's line. He might as well have sent them against a.stone wall, for despite his own desperate efforts to break through, and those of" Hall, Lee am] Trenchard, the Pennsylvania rush line v impregnable. Finally Princeton lost the ball during one of its rushes and Oliver fell on it From this time on during the first half Penn­ sylvania's goal was never in danger.

The remainder of the half was simply a series of fierce rushes by Pennsylvania wbicl Princeton could barely stop.

Ten minutes before time was called Pcnn ylvania had the misfortune to lose the ser vices of its captain. (Schoff has been sutler ing for weeks from a bad knee, but pluckil; went into this game despite his injuries During a rush his knee was agaiu hurt, am be was forced to leave the field.

CHANGING PRfNCETOX's TKAM.The magnificent and unexpected strengtl

shown by the Pennsylvania line was a grea surprise to all present. Sirunions and Schof on the ends had played a game that ha: never been surpassed in a foot ball contest Vail at quarter and Knipe and ("amp at hal back were playing as if their lives were a stake. Time and again would oue of these three plow through Prineeton's line for gai:is> of five, ten and fifteen yards.

Thayer at full back frequently punted the ball nearly the distance ot the field, and hi: tackling was sharp and strong. The rest o the Pennsylvanias were playing with the hope of wiping out the disgrace of a long series of defeats, anil they easily found open ings in tbe Tigers' line for their comrades Princeton. in contrast to Pennsylvania, was playing slowly. The centre was weak, both .Fiscus and Hall leaving gaps through which Pennsylvania's backs easily found Ilieir way Some changes had been made in Ihe Tigers team from Ihe first half, and this seemed to add to their strength. Holly had retired and Fiscns took his place at left tackle, and McFadden took Fiscus' ulace at guard

THE SECOND HALF.The second half began at 3.50. Pennsylva­

nia now faced the wind and, bad the ball. It made eight yards in the V. For some time the ball passed from one side to the other without material gain to either side. As de­ feat began to dawn upon them the Prince- toniaus grew desperate nnd baffled fiercely for victory. In one of the rushes near Penn­ sylvania's goal Capt. King twisted his knee badly and wns carried from the field. Bar- nett took his ulace. From this time on the ball was mainly in the possession of Pennsyl­ vania. The hnrd play had told on Prince- ton, while Pennsylvania, with victory in its grasp, seemed to gather fresh strength. Down the field the Pennsylvania!!* went for five mid ten yards nt every rush. Before they could score again, however, tirpe was called mid Princeton had fallen before its once de­ spised foe by ti to 0.

Yale Rent* Wcblcy»nYale played her first championship gam*

of the season with \Vesleyan on the Yale field Nov. 5, «ud defeated the visitors by 72 to 0. As is Yale's custom, a substitute team was presented. DeWilt, a freshman, was placed at left half luir.k; Adee wits at quarter back, instead of McCormick; Norton was at It-It end, instead of Hinckey, and Welles was not in his place at right tackle.

The Wesleyans started off the first half with the ball and gained twenty-five yards on the wedge play. She lost Ihe hall on four downs, and then Yale took fifteen yards through Weslfvan's centre. She tallowed the gain liy sending Bliss around the ends, and lie made the first touch-down five min­ utes after play began. Wesleyan could nut advance the ball either at centre or around the ends. Her halves were tackled quickly by Winter, Greenxvay and Norton, whilo Sanford and Stillman appeared to holdall opposing players atHStandstill. De Witt was worked through the centre for another touch­ down, and a goal was kicked by Bntterworth.

The second half proved to be a repetition of tlie first. Wesleyan attempted to strengthen her team liy putting Hunce in at quarter hack instead of ParsMcy. Berrisn went to full back instead of Cult, who had taken Leo's place in the first half. Ander- son took Berrian's place. Yale started off with a fine run by DeWitt around Wes- leyau's left end, and a few moments later he was crowded over her back line for a touch­ down. This play around Wesleyau's end was continued, and DeWitt scored three touch-downs iu rapid succession.

Just before lime was called Wesleyan braced up and rushed the ball to Yale's 25- yard liue, but lost it on four downs. The ball was passed to DeWitt, aud he ran down the field, dodging here and there, and se­ cured a touch-down the best of the game. Bntterworth kicked a goal. The teams were: Yale. nVrfejoa.

THE TRIPLE LEAGUE.

Dartmouth Wins the Opening Cham­ pionship Game.

The opening championship game of the Intercollegiate League, composed of Am- herst, Dartmouth and Williams colleges, was" played at Hanover, Nov. 5, between Dart­ mouth and Williams. The game was close and exciting up to the second half, when Williams weakened and Dartmouth had things practically her own way. A light frozen snow rendered the held and ball ex­ tremely slippery. Dartmouth was especially weak in goal kickins. Of all her five trials, which were right in front of the goal, she only secured two goals.

Williams won the toss and took the kick- off. After gaining about fifteen yards she gave Dartmouth the ball on four downs Dodge, Randall, Ide, Curtis and gained about thirty-five yards for Dartmouth, when a fumble gave Williams the ball, but it was soon regained, and in ten minutes from time of game. Randall made a touch-down. No goal was kicked. With the ball down for Williams in the centre ot the field, she made twenty yards on the V, and, after several short rushes, lost to Dartmouth on four downs. Ide then went around Williams' end, and, aided by good blocking, made torly yards. Steady rushes carried the leather to Williams'' goal line, where Randall carried it over. No aoal was kicked.

With the ball bncK at the centre of the field Williams made three yards on V, forty- yards by the criss-cross, and several short gains through the line, which carried her to Dartmouth's goal line. Here Draper was fired over. Ide kicked a goal. After the ball had alternately changed hands several times on four downs anil fumbles. Dartmouth finally kept it. Long rushes by HunJall and Dodge, aided by several short rushes, carried Dartmouth over the lme for a third touch down, but no goal.

in the next play the bsll changed hands several times, but by several clever criss-cross plays Williams secured her last tench-down, from which Ide kicked a goal. In the second half Williams failed to score, while Jones and Townscnd each made a touch-down for Dart­ mouth, from which Alien kicked goals. The final score was 24 to 12 in Dartmouth's favor.

FEELING AT VALE.

Probable Results of Princeton's Over­ throw by Pennsylvania.

NF.W HAVEN. Ct., Nov. 8. It has been a long-rime since Yale men have had so much to talk about as they have since the results of the Harvard-Cornell ami Piinceton-Penn- sylvania quotes. Nothing but foot ball hag been diseuwcd on the campus, in the eating clulis and even in thechnpel. But the defeat of Princeton hns impressed one great fact on the Y»le mind Ihe absurd unfairness of Yale having to piny thrc? great trams within two weeks, while IKT rival plays hut one. It will ilo much lo bre:;k uptbepresfiif League. S<oiticlhing mii^t be dune li> prevent another fix like this when Yale must fight for her lift

with her very best team against Pennsylva­ nia, Harvard anil Princeton, and whip all three, while if Harvard wins the one game at Springfield she will pose as champion.

OPINION OF PKISCETON. Princeton's defeat by the University of

Pennsylvania Saturday need not, as wns claimed by manv newspapers to-day, result in the annual Thanksgiving Day game at New York next year being played between Yale and the University of Pennsylvania, Tht: Intercollegiate Association constitution says that ''the two leading colleges of the pre- ceeding year shall play iu or near New York," but it does not name the date of the leaders' game «s at any partienlnrtime. It is the cur­ rent feeling at Yale that Yale will not play the University of Pennsylvania at that date next year

HIST OF A COMING CHANGE.Prineeton's defeat is deeply regretted by

Yale, but the feeling is almost universal here that by it Princeton has shown itself merely a second-rate foot ball college. A revival of the rejected dual athletic league with Har­ vard is thought of by Yale, anil if once more proposed by Harvard it would probably be accepted by Yale. The feeling at Yale, too, tends toward the belief that the present In- tercollegiato Foot Ball Association has about outlived its usefulness, and it would not be surprising if it were entirely dissolved at the clu--e ot this year, or at least if Y'ale were to withdraw.

TALE COSPIDEST.Graves and Ilinkey returned from Phila­

delphia to-day. They said that Princeton put up a much weaker eame than against the New York Athletic Club. Yale men are confident of beatin? Pennsylvania ou Satur­ day, although there is a teeliug that Y'ale will be scored on. Billy Bull, who played against the University of Pennsylvania two weeks ago, thinks that Yale should win by twenty points. $250 was sent up here last night to put np that Pennsylvania will win, even money. It was covered like a flash,and any more such money is hungrily sought for.

It has leaked out that McCoriuick is prac­ ticing drop kicking quietly, but earnestly, aud is already almost in his old form. It is very doubtful whether Graves can play again, and Kutterworth is a poor drop kicker, so even if Ciravesdoes piny it is prob­ able that McCormick will drop back and do the trying for goals, as Graves will have very little practice. Hilly Hull is coaching the Yale captaiu on this point.

BILLIARDS.PARISIAN BII.L.IARDS.

A. Glance at the Game aa U is Played In France anil America.

I ' kle»a fask at lien to b« called oil c on tbe eatne of liiilianU in ! ;, i'aris, fir Pariii iu Frunvc. It sreins lint like y(*tor<lay sine« the Kranco- PrussJHn war ot 1*71, when it was announced to the world in thunder tones, or in sounds which could not be mistaken or misunder­ stood, that "Paris is France!" It is still Ihe same city a jfiy, heartless world in itself, and will prol ably reninin so to the end of time. That there is a latent rein in this very city, to say nothing of the country at large, which all ri^tit-thinking people cannot but help to admire, make:) it all the more difficult to be called on to criticize the action of a poople who are essentially ^reat in ttie broadest sense of the word. Fortunately we are not called on to critii-ize the great French people as a nation, but a few of the t-ultertiy element ot that country, its billiard players. That the lutter are in the minority by nearly half's million to one is probably the be.st proof that the heart of the French people aa a race does not so much differ, after all, from that of those who are to be found iu all Christian countries.

For more than thirty years past, or begin­ ning with the opening of the civil war in this country, France has sent us the must distin­ guished players that have ever been known to her. With perhaps the single exception of lierger, who traveled in this country as an exhibition player until the war in question made it convenient tor him, fur financial rea­ sons, to return to his own country, all con­ formed to the professional rules of this coun­ try by becoming match players in tourna­ ments und private or punlic contests, *nd generally distinguisned themselves, as the records of billiards in this country more than attest. It is doubtful if there is to-day any city in the world where so many really fine nui«ters of billiards can be found as in Paris. That city alone has probubly not less than six French experts who should ntnk as first- class masters of the game; probably not ne­ cessarily on a par with £ves.Slo.sson..Seliaefer and Vignaux, but nevertheless really great masters of the art of billiards.

Add to this the fact that during tho past season Schaefer, Ives, Slossuii, Carter nnd C'atton have been there, and it will readily be seen what an array of talent was In that city. At the present writing Daly, Heiser, C'atton, Carter and Sehaefer are in Paris, with the prospect that all will remain there during the winter, with the exception of Mr. Paly. What has Paris done for billiards during the past sjpc months? With nearly a dozen of the lending eiperts of the world in that city during that time there was not one public contest played which is to-day on re- cord! The one contest which commanded public attention and which was heralded iu the press of the world at large was that which should have been played by Ivesaiul Sehae­ fer for the world's championship, out which, and Jut it be said to the slmine of both Ives tnil Sehaefer, never took place.

Why did this contest which was never played command so much public attention from Ihe press of Europe and America, while the petty tir alleged contests which are played so frequently during almost every day in Paris are rarely if ever referred to? Simply because the public of Europe aud America have confidence in the matches or contests which are played by and between American experts. When American experta engage in a match it is known to be not only bona fide, or in good faith, but is really a contest or match of skill,artistically speaking, as it is well known to be for money. Such a contest in Paris, aa billiards are played there, is simply impossible. Iu the first place the na­ tional or native experts of France seem to have no pride or love in their calling beyond gambling. They cling, it is true, to their native game just us the Englishmen do, but this alone is their only redeeming quality, nnd it is one which we have always adrnireJ. while we have never thought, and do not think now, thatourowu native players should have ever abandoned the American came simply to please or gratify the French ex­ perts who are probably the most ungrateful of all professional players. Having aban­ doned tiieir own game, however, it has long since passed into history that Ithe American experts are more than a match for the French­ men at their own game.

We have said that the present system of billinrds in Paris makes it impossible to have anything like a serious contest. How can it be otherwise? "Contests" there, in what they call billiard academics, are played every half hour, or at most, during every hour. What sort of a "contest" or match can be played In an hour? Imagine Slosson, Schnefer or Ives coining before the American publio to play a serious match game of billiards in thirty or sixty minutes!

Great players, as It is known to every novice of the game, do not, and frequently have not, been able to get into trim or get their stroke until tbe game has been an hour or two in progress. We have seen Slosson almost petrified lor two hours during a match with Sehaefer and yet play some of the prettiest billiards ot his life during the sam» contest. Could such a thing be possible in Paris in their alleged contests of an hour's duration? Where is the expert in the world at the present day who would care to make a serious contest at billiards when the game was not from 500 to 800 points in length, nccording to the style of billiards that is to be pi,i .veil?

Billiards in Paris is simply gambling pure nnd simple on a very huge form, and nothing more or less. The professional players there to-day, whether native or foreign, are simply like the race horses in Gloucester, N. J. The public who frequent these academies in Paris go there for the love of gambling as well as for the gain, while the owners of such resorts, as well as the players, consider only the money at stake, nnd have no more regard tor the purity, integrity or reputation of bil­ liards than a cast-off prostitute has for the salvation of her soul.

I f there is any doubt of this we have but to refer to the fact that since Ives left Paris the professional hillinrd world has been practic­ ally dead. There is no doubt that there is life enough in it in Paris, but it is of that character of life which we have already dis- cribed, and so foreign to American billards that it is but rarely referred to in the public press. Even Eugene Carter, who ivas always a leader in American billiards, and probably never ft follower, has practically disappeared from the public in these Parisian contests, where they play for a round ot drinks for the benefit of Ihe house and a few dollars on each game for the benefit of the gamblers aud the academies.

It is possible of course to have serious con­ tests even in Paris, and iust now there is a prospect of a series of matches between Vig- uauxiand Sehaefer. In this country, however, ilusc contests have but attracted little if any attention, which is simply owing to the vicious practice of gambling which is the rule and not the exception in the billiard world of France.'Even Sehaefer, theoncegreat billiard wizard of the world, seems to have lost his identity since he went to that country, for if he was matched to play Vignaux in America at the present day, instead of in France, not only two continents, but the entire billiard world would watch the result, while the presentcontestor series of games are rarely,it ever, spoken of in billiard circles in this country.

SPORTING NOTESWORK OF THE HOMERS.

Noted Performances by Swift rican Flyers.

The summing up of the season's work under the American Rules for Pigeon Flying, shows that fifty series of journeys have been Mown thus far Ibis season, with the result that in general average speed, distance in the day, and extreme distance, the year is in the lead of all others; and what is equally satisfactory, the work has been done with but little cos* in birds.

The certificates of record ready for the auditor are of series 2, 3 and 4. Series 2 «aa to the Milton, Mass., Club's lofts from tho West und was moivt unfortunate, because bad weather caused every journey but one to ba deferred. In one race, from Albany, the loft of H G. Krooks won the prize for best speed through the season, from that station to New England. The greatest distance ot the scries was from Batavia, 3tiO miles. The best average'work was by A. H. Ladd's Lassie, registered 1056.

Tbe entry for Series S was the nine of Harry G. Thtirston, of Fall River. There were five journeys namely. Bridgeport. New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Sycamore, Va. The nine birds were ready for the start in each, a record without prece­ dent. The aggregate distance for each of tha seven birds nt home from the 540 miles' start was 1420 miles.

Only one bird was timed in every journey, the champion Dickinson. His record for tha series is for the best work ever to a single bird's credit. His average speed for 0119 journey, 110 roilea, was 1011yds.; for two journeys, 274 miles, 1470yds.; for three jour­ neys, 517 miles, 1374yds.; four journeys, 8S2 miles, 1327yds.; five journeys, 1420 miles, 10fi2yds. In the 243 and 360 mile journeys his average speed was respectively llS4.(Jand 1184.8yds. per minute, tlie difference being only two-tenths of a yard. In all his flying Dickinson was out over night only once, and that in the 540 mile journey, when his course led him into a storm that stayed his progre~^

Series 4 was to the Harry Goodby l.v Providence, and in this two birds the Maia and Peg have the credit of arriving before the liberator's telegram, except from 550 miles. These birds were not seen to return in any journey, the watchers always Buding them at home, and they were not timed, ex­ cept from the Washington start, 3ob' miles, when time ot finding gave them the average speed of 1474 yards per minute and the ra- cord and prize for speed from the Capital.

The Maid was the only bird entered in all the journeys having the aggregate distance of 1445 miles. The loss in the flying was two birds, Darkey from AVashingtou mid Stumpy from 540 miles. The loss in the fourteen journeys of the three series was five birds, one trom 100 miles, one from Sod miles, and three from 510 miles.
