THE TEAMS COMPARED. pene Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 18, 1893. The Yale-Pennsylvania game, which was decided last Saturday in one of the pret- tiest and most determined contests of the Season, showed clearly the strength of the Yale team, and its great capabilities for be- coming quite as strong as the team which represented the blue last year. ‘Thos> who saw Princeton play Pennsyl- vania at Manheim a week before, and af- terward Yale play them, are of one opin- ion, namely, Princeton had no chance with the blue. Indeed, the most conservative of foot ball experts freely expressed the opin- fon that the game Pennsylvania put up against Yale would surely have won with Princeton as opponents. A comparison first of the two games, afterward of the teams, will easily show this. Now, when Prince ton played Pennsylvania, there was only one instance in the game where the tigers made a succession of gains, and the poor kicking of Knipe in the first half was alone responsible for the only touch-down scored. Then, again, Pennsylvania’s line Was undoubtedly weaker with Reese and Upton in place of Oliver and Newton, who played against Yale. If Brooke had been played from the very start instead of Gel- bert, his fine kicking qualities would surely have kept the ball well in Princeton’s ter- ritory. Brooke, it must be understood, be- sides kicking finely, is absolutely sure on the catch. The fumbling of Gelbert and Knipe and the blocked kicks of the latter player were prime factors in assisting Princeton on her Journey toward the Penn- sylvania goal line. The wet weather must be taken into con- sideration, too, for it was admittedly dis- advantageous to quick plays on the part of the heavier Quaker backs. Ordinarily, this would not be so, but the Princeton line be- ing the stronger, made all the difference in the world. The good derived by Woodruff and Wharton, the Pennsylvania guards, be- cause of their inexperience, must also be taken into consideration. Thus we see that the Pennsylvania team was a stronger ag- gregation of players when they met Yale. Princeton, although not playing all the tricks she was capable of, had very few up her sleeve when the game closed. They tried the flying wedge, running the quarter back, and attempted other plays, making an aggregate of at least eight. ‘The wet weather did not seem to affect Princeton's play to any extent, for her backs got off quickly behind well-defined interference, and Blake kicked at all times finely, and he Was called on repeatedly many times on the first down. Princeton opposed Penn- sylvania that day with her strongest eleven, ‘The Yale Team Considerea. Now let us turn to the Yale game. The Quakers enter the contest fresh from the experience of a hard-fought battle and the eradication, of certain faults which the ex- perienced eye of Coach Woodruff has de- tected in their play against Princeton, and with Oliver in the line, a tower of strength, and Newton, a demon tackler, they lined up against Yale a better team by 25 per cent. No one who saw their sluggish play at Manheim and their snappy work against Yale could doubt it. Those who saw Knipe run with the speed and force of a locomo- tive could not have questioned his ability to do the same against Princeton. As Os- gol went around Hinkey, so would he have gone around Brown or McCauley, and Capt. Mackey never played so good a game before. Only once did Pennsylvania outplay Yale, and then they carried the ball for fifty-five yards without losing it. Nearly thirty yards of this distance, ho ever, was made on the opening play, a fly- ing wedge. Butterworth went through the Pennsylvania center time and again for never less than three yards. Pennsyl- vania’s center was by no means a weak one, either. When compared with Yale, the blue-legged giants loomed up far and away the better center of the two. Beef Wheeler and ‘Taylor, the Princeton guards, may have opened up quite as well on that day, but no one back of the Princeton line could have made the ground Butterworth did. Four times in succession this great player, who was giving the signals, sent himself for the center, with a gain every time to his credit. Pennsylvania played her masses on tack- les in an inimitable way and the Yale men, Beard and Murphy, who had to stand the brunt of the attack, did nobly. Gains were made through them, but on the whole not any more than was made last year by a weaker trio of Pennsylvania backs against Wallis and’ Winter. Indeed in the second half of Jast year’s game Winter was re- peatedly opened up for five yards or more. This goes to show that this year the Yale tackles are not so far behind last year's. Indeed in the defensive game they are al- most on even terms. ft is the running of the ball in the aggressive game where Wal- lis and Winter excelled. Knipe, who is a marvelously strong runner in center plays, could not make an inch through the Yale center. Now the score of the game was 14 to 6 in favor of Yale, and Yale by the way played throughout the entire game six dif- ferent plays. All of them were the old standard ones. Hence it is certain that the Yale team to have withstood the Penn- sylvania:game and make thres touch-downs was a better team than Princeton when she played Pennsylvania, but let us com- pare the players who will face each other at Thanksgiving time and note the result. To begin take the ends. At left end, Hinkey, the Yale man is easily superior to Trenchard. Last year Hinkey was bet- ter and this year Trenchard is not playing as well as last year and the Yale man is playing the game of his life. Greenway Is also better than either Brown or McCauley because he has more experience combined with form, which is quite up to Hinkey’: Princeton's left end is undeniably weak {and to this day it is unsettled as to which | shall play, McCauley or Brown. Both play- }ers do not cop: in first-class style with in- terference and McCauley in particular is not a good tackler. Both are inexperienced so far as playing big games goes. It is likely that at the tackle points, Lea and Holly, the Princeton pair, will hold Beard and Murphy of Yale almost on even terms. The Teams Considere ndividually, Beard, however, should run better than either Holly or Lea, and make more of the interference game. Murphy, too, should break through a little better and stop either a play or the interference. Lea is better on the whole than Holly and will make the better showing in the game. He will | have Beard to contend with. Holly will try | to handle Murphy. Many think Murphy | will get the better of the duel. But the! four men se2m to be so equal all round | that in this comparison we will call the | tackle points a standoff. Now for the cen- ter. Stillman, the Yale man, will have Bal- liet, and do better with? him than ever be- fore. Stillman weighs at least twenty-five pounds more and he knows more how to use his weight. Stillman, however, is rot so quick and will! therefore be unable to do so much outside of his position as Ballet. Balliet, too, can get the ball to the quarter back cleaner. In other respects Stillman does as well. He makes holes nicely and holds up the cen- ter better. In stopping center plays he will do. Altogether then we will suppose Balliet a better man as counting more for the success of his team. | At the guard point, Wheeler, the star of | the Princeton rush line, will face Hinkey, | und a battle royal it will prove to be. Both are so good that it would be an injustice to give either the preference. We will therefore call them equal. McCrea at left | guard for Yale should outplay Taylor, who | has less experience and jess strength. | Hence we see in the rush line Yale strong: er by two points in the center and at both | ends. King at quarter back for Princeton is, of course, stronger than Morris by long | odds. Back of the line the Yale men show | p far and away the best. Butterworth an’t be touched and Armstrong and| ‘Thorne are better than Morse or Ward. | Ward, however, is a better end runn | than Armstrong, and Thorne is better at | \this game than Morse. Going at the line [both Yale men ‘excel. In tackling Arm- i strong is the best of the lot. Morse comes next and Thorne and Ward are about equal. | On the whole the Yale trio should do more of the good work that counts in touch- | downs than the Princeton men. Just who will play full back for Prince- ton is not known, but be he Allen, Blake, McKenzie or Burt, Butterworth will be the choice. Hence we see Yale stronger back of the line. The Yale style of game will be quite as good as in former years and the Princeton game consequently cannot sur- pass it. Both teams will have some fine tricks. But summing up from the above comparison it is impossible to see anything but a Yale victory. Jt will be a close con- test, though, be sure of that, and Yale will have to put her best men in the field to make sure of the game, W. T. BULL. —— CONFERENCE OF CHURCHES.

Recent Episcopal jurch Congres: To the Editor of The Evening Star: The church congress in the United States is modeled after a similar institution of the sage name in the Church of England, which enjoys the cordial and active support of the two archbishops, and, I believe, of the entire bench of bishops in the kingdom, Its object is to afford an arena in which the living questions of the day, whether in theology or ecclesiastical order or social de- velopment, may be freely discussed by men of diverse opinions. It is the aim of those who control its arrangements to select speakers who shall best represent the chief divisions of sentiment upon the matters un- der discussion. Our conviction is that truth is always the gainer in the end by full and free debate. Hence the divergence of sentiment at the church congresses is not strange. It is the necessary result of the principle on which they are constituted. Moreover, there is no fixed proportion observed between the size or influence of any particular school of thought and the number of speakers ap- pointed to represent it. The weakest party may have just as large representation in the debate as the strongest. No vote is taken; ho canons are passed; no resolutions adopted. ‘The sole aim is free discussion, ‘Thus in the discussion of the question whether the Protestant Episcopal Church should support missions in Roman Cath- olic countries those who oppose such a policy were represented by three speakers {against four of the other opinion), al- though they are only a very small minor- ity in the church. Of course it is impossible to provide against sych eccentric ebullitions as that of the clergyman who on Friday last de- clared his belief that his Protestant Church is much nearer to the Roman Catholic Church than she is to her Pro- testant sisters, together with other equal- ly preposterous opinions. But those who heard Bishop Doane’s crushing reply, in which he magnificently vindicated the Protestant character of the church and administered a scathing rebuke to the man who had dared to cast contempt on his own church, will feel that even such pain- ful exhibitions have their uses. The newspaper reports unfortunately convey a quite erroneous impression of the discussion. They make Dr. Hall Har- rison advocate what he strenuously op- posed. They give great prominence to the denial of the Protestant character of the church by an obscure individual, while scarcely a word is reported of the able speeches of Bishop Coxe and Bishop Doane in reply. Nor do they make any record of the whirlwind of applause with which the great audience of clergymen and lay- men hailed the latter’s vindication of the church from the aspersions of the speak- er just alluded to. Nov. 19. RANDOLPH H. McKIM. ae eae) THE TITLE TO PROPERTY. Records in the Assessor's Office Can Only Be Changed Twice a Year, The opinion of the attorney for the Dis- trict was recently requested by the Com- missioners to settle a dispute over a record of title to some property in the tax books. It appears from the records that the spe- cial assessment office in preparing an as- sessment followed the records of the as- sessor’s oftice as to the name of the party holding title. Later it was developed that another party claimed title to the property and a copy of the bill was served on her. As soon as the service was acknowledged by the latter she applied to the Commis- sioners for an order directing the assessor change the records in the assessor's of- ice. In view of the facts Mr. Thomas is of the opinion that the record of the assessment cannot be changed. He cites the law, which provides that on or before the first Monday of July and January in every year a correct list of the transfers of reai prop- erty in the city shall be made to the as- sessor by the recorder of deeds during the next preceding half year so far as can be ascertained by the records of his office. The assessor, says Mr. Thomas, is author- ized to change the record twice yearly to correspond with this list of transfers, but not otherwise, except to correct a cleri- cal error, pees Mr. Renshaw’s Statem To the Editor of The Evening Sta My attention has been called to an article recently published in The Evening Star, giving the proceedings of a directors’ meet- ing of the United States Electric Lighting Company and stating that 1 had been drop- ped as general manager, I have always deprecated the obtruding |of the company’s affairs upon the public, but, inasmuch as A. A, Thomas and cer- tain associates of his have given the pri- vate minutes of a directors’ meeting to the press for publication, the truth will be best subserved by stating the facts. I know The Evening Star has always accorded a fair hearing to both sides of a controversy. Months ago, as a director and general manager of the company, I protested vig- orousiy against what I believed to be the unlawful acts of A. A.

To Wrecks Caused by the Storm Off the English Coast. THREE-MASTER FOUNDERS NEAR DOVER, Too Rough for the Calais and Bou- logne Steamers. > MANY FISHING SMACKS LOST. LONDON, Nov. 20.—As the day progress- es reports of wrecks and loss of life come in from the coast towns and villages with which telegraphic communication has not been cut off. It is feared that the loss of life will be greater than in any storm of recent years. A spar bearing the name Moray has come ashore at Land’s End, Banffshire. This is taken to confirm the report that the steam- er Moray was lost off that place during the gale of Friday night. There is now scarce- ly a doubt that her entire crew of fifteen persons were drowned. The Electro has foundered in the North sea, near Heligoland. Her passengers and crew were saved. Eight fishing smacks from Hastings are missing, and it is feared that they were not able to ride out the storm. The German yessel Corrientes, bound for Lisbon, has been wrecked near Barfleur, fifteen miles east of Cherbourg, France. ‘There were fourteen persons on board of her, eight of whom were saved. Neither the Calais nor the Boulogne channel steamers left Calais today. The Boulogne boat feared to face the awful gale that is sweeping up the channel. The Ca- lais boat could not have left even had she so desired. The sea is pounding the jetty there to pleces. In fact, it is already about completely destroyed. The entrance to the harbor has been so blocked up by the mass- es of rock swept from the jetty that it is impossible for vessels to get in or out. Foundered in Sight of Dover. A dispatch from Hythe, on the English channel, eleven miles southwest of Dover, States that a three-masted vessel foundered off that place today. A part of the crew | took to the small boats, but before they jhad got far from the vessel the boats were swamped and all in them were drowned. When the vessel sank her topmests stood |above the water. Nine men could be seen for hours clinging to the upper rigging with the water sweeping over them. The vessel was too far off shore for a rocket to reach her, and it would have been fool- hardy to have attempted to get a life boat through the surf that was pounding with terrific roars upon the beach. There is | Scarcely a chance that a single man in the rigging will get ashore alive. In fact, some |of them have already been swept off into the sea. Three ships are ashore between Dym- church and Romney, on the English chan- nel. Distress signals were thrown up by the stranded vessels, but no assistance could be rendered from the shore. The Dungeness life saving crew tried to | get their boat afloat, but they were swamp- ed and thrown into the sea. Their cork jackets saved them from drowning. The whole Kentish coast {s strewn wit! wrecks of large and small vessels, and it i: believed that aside from those heard of, | many others have been wrecked at places | remote from telegraph communication. The maritime underwriters will sustain heavy joses through the storm. Many smacks are missing from Yarmouth. The ship Samuel Landann has foundered in Lynn channel. Five of her crew were drowned. The British steamer River Garry has gone down off Dunbar at the mouth of the Firth of Forth. It is feared that all on board her were drowned. One body has been washed ashore. Two large vessels are ashore at Dunge- ness, on the English channel. — a MISS GARLAND’S DEATH. Her Own Testimony That There Was No Love Affair or Un piness at Home The Dallas News publishes a letter written by Iona Oakley Gorham, a class- mate and intimate friend of Miss Daisy Garland, whose sad death by her own hand recently greatly shocked and grieved her friends. Miss Gcrham’s letter is in- teresting as it quotés from one addressed to her by Miss Garland the day before her death. Miss Gorham wrote to the News from Chicago as follows: There was no “love affair,” as some of the papers said, nor “unhappiness at home,” in the sad and tragic affair. The following is quoted from a letter from her written to me the day before she died: “I think, dear, you would understand this terrible lethargy into which I have fallen better than any one. You always under- stood me exactly. I am in just such a state as I was our last year at school, be- fore the final examination. The moments with you were very bright, but otherwise I was wretched. You remember it all. I could not arouse myself enough to study, at the last, though my ambition and the wish to gratify my father urged me on. I failed simply because I could not exert myself. I am nervous and just want to be let alone. They wanted me to go to West Point for graduation week, chaperoned by Mrs. Col. Wilson. Think how lovely. I really made a violent effort to go, to please papa, and because I knew I would regret not taking the trip, but I just could not go. I do not understand why I feel so, with youth, position, health (papa, with his usual good sense, has nearly established my health again, with tonics, &c.) and sur- rounded by loving friends, who do every- thing for me. I feel myself a perfect little ingrate that I cannot be bright and gay for their sakes. But I cannot stir. I simply exist. Papa and every one is so kind and con- siderate, even more so than usual. I have even ceased to care for music, and you know how I used to love it. Cummins has succeeded so well in his music, a thing that at one time I would have been wild with delight over. There is no love affair and unhappiness at home, thank heaven, as the papers and so many people suggested when I went to Baltimore. You will be glad of that, I am sure.” “She was a very brilliant girl, and her wit and personal magnetism were marvelous, but she failed on mathematics. There were thirteen of us In the graduates’ room at Norwood College, Washington. I came last, but did not take the full course. She with- drew from the school as soon as she knew she would not receive her diploma, being, as she said then, the thirteenth. She left home two months ago to enter a convent, but the sister superior persuaded her to give up the idea, or, at least, to reconsider it, and write to her brother, which she did. It hurts us, her friends, to have it said there was a love affair or a secret. The idea is absurd, She was oversensitive and allowed religious matters to prey upon her mind, which, coupled with a very delicate consti- tution, made her undoubtedly temporarily insane. “There was a mistake about her age. She is twenty-three years old, not thirty, and was by several months the youngest girl in her class.” —_>_—_. MIDDIES AND CADETs, Great Interest Felt in the Coming Foot Ball Game. It is said that no objection will be offered at either the War or the Navy Department to the foot ball contest at Annapolis on the 2d proximo between the middies and the West Pointers. Army and navy officers here are taking deep interest in the con- test. The Army and Navy Club will have a special train to Annapolis for the game. The betting is about even, but it is believed by the time the game comes off the West Pointers will be slight favorites, owing to theiy greater weight and advantage of age. The naval cadets are practicing daily, and wiil undoubtedly put up a strong game. They have beaten some of the best colleges this season and have held the University of Pennsylvania down to 12 points and Princeton to 24. Lehigh, which beat West Point 18 to 0, could only score 12 points to the cadets’ 6. Washington girls are getting their class colors out and preparing to flaunt them at | Annapolis, | FINANCIAL.

His well- known sentiments on this subject led to his being asked to discuss. this subject before the church congress at its recent session in New York. Personally Dr. McKim believes in total abstinence. In the course of his sermon, which was couched in the vigorous and convincing language for which his pul- pit utterances are famous, he said that the drink curse is the greatest work of the devil. The saloon, he said, is entrenched in our social system. He thought that it w: futile to hope to conquer the saloon by legislative enactments alone. The question is largely a social one. The environments of the laboring man must be improved. He must have light in his home and healthful food on his table. The monotony of his life, which now drives him to drink, must be relieved. Temperance people must draw him away from the saloon by providing something better. The Swedish System.

The system also requires that food shall always be procurable with drink, which is, he said,| CORNER 15TH ST. AND NEW YORK AVR a most important consideration. The sale of provisions as well as tea, coffee, soda water and cigars is obligatory. The pro- fit accruingfrom these sales goes entirely to the dealer, while the sale of liquors is ex- clusively on the account of the company granting the license. The motive of gain is thus transferred from the sale of intoxi- cants to the sale of food. The greatest advantage, he said, is that the saloon is taken entirely out of politics, good authority declaring that the saloon is absolutely without political significance un- der this system. The system had been tried twenty-five years and drunkenness had de- creased under it. It ought to appeal to dif- ferent classes of thinkers on the temper- ance question, because it combined the high license and the prohibition principles. It was also a local option system, because it gave every community the opportunity to decide for itself whether it would adopt the license regime or the plan of prohibition. It was reported from Sweden and Norway that the system had resulted in practical prohibition in the country districts. ie ENCOURAGEMENT FOR BROOKLAND THE NATIONAL SAFE DEPOSIT, SAVINGS AND TRUST OCOMPANE Of the District of Columbia.

For some time the engineer department has been wrestling with the details of a large water main to supply that suburb, and the final move will shortly be made. Several days ago the matter came before the board of Commissioners, and it was de- cided to get the legal advice of the attorney for the District upon several important questions before it was finally settled. These are the questions they desired en- lghtment upon: “If a water main be laid on Michigan avenue adjoining the grounds of the Sol- diers’ Home, are these grounds assessable for a depth of 100 feet the same as any] ‘The Maryland Agricultural College foot other real estate, or would it be held that] pall team added another to their list of viow they are exempted under the head of ‘the | tories Saturday afternoon by winning the Soldiers’ Home and grounds actually occu-| game from the Orient Club of this city. | pied by such buildings?” The score was 16 to 6, the Maryland | “Could the assessment be levied upon the | agricultural College scoring three toucdh-_ Srounds of the Catholic University abutting | downs and two goals, and the Orients one on Michigan avenue? touch-down and one goal.

The playing of Davis and Brock for the “if a main is laid on Lincoln avenue can Mtob4 Prospect Hill cemetery be assessed?” In passing upon these questions Attorney Thomas says: . “In answer to the above questions I have the honor to say that section 8 of the act referring to of Congress approved March 3, 1877, for the made for ; support of the government of the District ‘a for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1878 and pond for other purposes, commonly called the iesue a tax law, is the one to which Capt. Derby to do refers. That section defines what property shall be exempted from taxation under the act. But this act relates to general tax: tion, and not to assessments for improve- ments or to assessments to de- fray the cost and expenses of laying water mains. There is a well de- fined distinction between general taxes and assessments, the differences being that the former is a burden or charge put upon persons or property for public uses, whereas a local assessment Is a charge imposed by way of reimbursement for a benefit con- ferred, and it is almost = generally held that exemption from taxation does not extend to assessments for im- provements. For these reasons T am of opinion that section 8 of the tax law of March 3, 1877, does not apply to assess- ments for laying water mains.
