POSTSCRIPT PENNSYLVANIA WINS Harvard’s Eleven Given a Surprise at Philadelphia. Re ES THREE OF THE'R MEN BADLY HURT aoe A Safety Touchdown That Was Not Intended. CRIMSONS PENNSYLVANIA... HARVARD. PHILADELPHIA, November 20.—It Capt. Knipe of the university foot ball eleven and the thousands of foot ball enthusiasts who attended today’s big game between Penn- sylvania and Harvard had been allowed to select a day from among the unlimited variety that “Old Probs” has been handing up to us for the past fortnight, just such a day as today would have been chosen. It has been an ideal one for foot ball. Last night the followers of the long- haired fraternity retired with the idea that today was to be almost 2s cold as some of the weather that Peary experienced in his arctic explorations. But what a pleasant disappointment when they awoke this morning to find that the piercing wind had | almost was tempered with the warm November sun. Everything was in readiness for probably the greatest foot ball battle that will be seen on the gridiron field during the present season. The seating capacity of the uni- versity field, which, but a few days ago, was limited to 3,000, had been increased to the extent of almost 25,40. The entire fleld had been encircled by nineteen tiers of open seats, which began within a few feet of the side lines of the foot ball field and extended backward and upward about thir- ty feet, and on two sides monopolizing a portion of the sidewalk. The city teok on a regular foot ball garb. All the principal business houses displayed the red and blue and the crimson, and the friends of either college showed their pref- erence by decorating themselves with the bright colors. It was the first big match that has been played in this city between these colleges. Everybody is a college boy today, and the man who Is too stately to unbend himself to the hilarious occasion is not “in it.” Straggling for Admission. As early as 12 o'clock long lines of the long-haired enthusiasts were struggling to gaip admission to the university grounds. As time wore on the crowd increased rather than diminished, and at 2 o'clock there were still thousands who were scrambling for admission. The four huge stands were crowded, and there were many hundreds standing around the low fence which sur- rounds the field. The sight was a beautiful one, crimson and red and blue flags were everywhere. Everybody was at the grounds, from the small boy, with his tin horn, to the head of the family, with an eight by ten flag. The betting just previous to the time the game began was 5 to 4 on Pennsylvania. The Teams Appear. The Pennsylvania boys were the first to come on the field. They made their ap- pearance from the southeast corner at pre- cisely 2 o'clock. George Breoke was in the lead. This was the signal for wild cheer- ing on the part of the Pennsylvania fol- lowers. All the team seemed in perfect con- dition, and put in a few minutes throwing the ball around and holding secret confer- ences. Brooke dropped a few goals from the 40-yard line, and the way in which Capt. Knipe pranced around no one would Imag- ine that he was the man who, a few days ago, was in doubt as to whether he would be able to take his place at left half back. Just fifteen minutes later the Harvard boys made their appearance at the same egrner. This was the signal for thousands crimson flags to wave frantically from each of the big stands. The boys from Cambridge went through practice for a few moments, and then the great game was on. Laurie Bliss was chosen referee and Paul Dashiel umpire; Iinesmen, Dr. Brooks and Charles Schoff. Both teams were call- ed to the center by the referee and given instructions as to the mode of play. Sweaters were pulled at 2: Harvard won the toss and took the west goal, with @ slight advantage of wind, and they also had the sun in their, bac Play Begun. ‘The teams lined up as follows: vanished and the frosty morning rays of a Univ. of Pa.

Marvard’s HL Luck. The same ill uck that followed Harvard in her game with Yale on Saturday seem- ed to pursue her today, C. Brewer, Fair- child and Emmons being forced to retire during the first half. The only point scor- ed in this half was a safety by Harvard. Brooke had kicked the ball witga three yards of Harvard's goal and Hayes, press- ed by Rosengarten, Minds and Gilbert, not knowing that he was so close to the goal line, ran back and caused two points to be scored against his own side. It was a sad case of rattle at a critical point by the Harvard half back. it was also a lucky play for Pennsylvania, as time for the half was called less than a minute afterward. Pennsyivania’s stock took a big boom during the intermission, and many were the predictions of a red and blue victory. In the first part of the half things had been going mostly Harvard's way. But the loss of Hmmons, C. Brewer and Fairehilds greatly weakened the critason’s game. A Goal for Pennsylvania, 8:30 p.m.—Wagonhurst carzies the ball acrosssthe home line for a touch down.

Columbia Athletic Club and Georgetown College lined up today at National Base Ball Park for their annual foot bail game, and a tremendous, howling crowd filled the stand and overflowed the surrounding fleld. The day was a perfect one for foot hall, just enough snap to keep the blood in circulation, while the warm sun made it comfortable for the crowd on the stands. The crowd, however, did not need any sun to keop itself warm. It was chuck full of enthusiasm and had enough at all times to keep any amount of blood in circulation. From early in the day coaches loaded down with the supporters of the two teams, gayly decked out with colors, paraded through the streets and cheered and blew horns, while long before noon every cable | car contained dozens of C. A. C. or college men determined to get good places for the game. In the stand a number of ladies were on hand by 1 o'clock, and the bleach- ers from that hour on to the start of the great event were a secthing mass of cheer- ing humanity. Colors were everywhere, | and the foliowers of the blue and gray and the blue and red seemed almost equally di- vided. Characteristics of the Crowd. They were all on hand—the long-haired youth with the latest cut of voluminous overcoat and the beribboned cane; the pretty girl with the chrysanthemum and her favorite colors; the exuberant young man with bellows-like lungs, and some- times with a tin horn accompaniment. These old friends were on deck in num- bers and with all their enthusiesm. It doesn’t take much to arouse party spirit on a holiday, when there ts a foot ball game near enough to reach,and today there was seemingly“a vast crack or chasm yawning straight across the face of the human family, dividing it Into two factious parts. One half yelled for Columbia and sport- ed the blue and red; the other screamed for Georgetown and flaunted the blue and gray. Even the tin horns seemed to take on partisan tones. Those that were fed by Columbian breath were hoarse and deep, confident tones that grew strong from former victories. The University toot was shriller, more strident, perhaps a bit more disagreeable. But the youths with the gorgeous bouton- nieres and resplendent canes were about the same, whether thelr blue ribbons were wedded to reds or grays. They had about the same fin de siecle radicalism in dress nd the styles of wearing the hair, and they seemed to draw their confidence from the same common stock, whatever their hopes. The Glorious Girls Were Out. So, too, with the pretty girls, who gave to the field the appearance of a great posy garden, Their cheeks were red with the snappy air and the excitement, and the at- tend@ant blues and grays were generally to | filled be found in their eyes, whieh glistened with expectation before the game and with hap- piness or disappointment afterward. How they cheered, and clapped their Hittle gloved hands, and amused thelr escorts with unique remarks about the game! How they pitied the poor chaps who chanced to be underneath-in a scrimmage and blamed the lucky ones who happened to be on top! In short, how they did enjoy {hemselves! They were very numerous, perhi more so than in former years. They soon ‘aught the different cries and lent @ ‘ggod deal of en- thusiasm to the scene, . . Seven Thousand People Present. When the ball was put im play the: were about seven thousand people inside the grounds. The grand stand was fairly well filled, and there was only a small space vacant at the west end of the north cpen stand. The south stend, or bleach- ers, was packed, and the standing crowd the space inside thé ropes and stretched all around the field. The din of horns was almost incessant from the moment play was called. A youth on the south side had a large cow bell, that he rattled with Jndiscriminate glee whenever there was a play. Glee of the Georgetown Boys. The north side of the fiell was mainly given up to a big crowd of Georgetown men, and this crowd had tun with every- thing and everybody, They sang songs and they cheered. Some their songs were not exactly musteal, but they were noisy. One was to the tune of “Th Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, one verse ran something like this: As wo walk along amidst the threng, You hear the people say, They're the victors of the day, it's a cinch for the “Blue and Gray.” For we'll cut a dash and spend the cash Of C.

The Columbia team was the first to reach the field, and were received by a tremen- dous cheer from the crowd. Homer Janeway three times led them on the fleld. And they seemed in the finest of condition. Georgetown came on ten minutes later, and the ground and air shook once more with a mighty cheer. The teams lined up at 2 as follows: Columbia, Georgetown. Shields .-Full back... Murphy. Lewis. Right half beck. -Bahen. S. Johnson..Left half back. Mahoney. Harder. -Quarter back. dy (Capt.) Gafen Center . O'Brien. Sefton. -Right end.

Walker, Prin umpire, and Henry Riggs, Princeton, '95, linesman. Georgetown Gets the B: The game was started with the ball in Georgetowns hands and Columbia guard- ing the west goal. Georgetown started the game with a! kick, and the ball for a few moments stay- ed close to Columbia’ ine. The Columbia Athletic Club men immediately, however, kicked, and for the next ten minutes play was in the center of the field, with some lively play. Harder Gets Hi In one scrimmage Harder of Columbia Athletic Club, was hurt, and McGee went in. Harder’s arm was broken. He running with the ball and his arm was twisted in the fall. Fifteen minutes after the game-started, Shields kicked to George- town's 20-yard line, and Georgetown got the ball, a rush through the center gained five yards, and then Harder made a good run for-ten yards. Murphy followed with @ go through center for five yards; the Georgetown interference being excellent. The ball was, however, brought back, and Georgetown given five yards for off-side play on Columbia's part. Ball on Columbia's 20-Yard Line. A shove through center gained — three yards more for Georgetown, and tie ball was on Columbia's twenty-yard line. Bahen and Carmody Badly Hurt. Five minutes’ delay occurred by Bahen, Georgetown, being hurt by a punch in the stomach. He was carried off and Guillen went on. Immediately afterward George- town kicked, and the ball was caught by Shields, who ran back and was downed on | Columbia Athletic Club's twenty-yard line, Carmody being hurt in the scrimmage. He was carried from the field and Vinson Smith took his place. Two short rushes by ©. A. C. did not advance the ball, and a kick to the center of the field followed, the ball going to Georgetown. An around the end was gained 10 yards and another by Davis around the left end gained 5 yards, and Murphy went through the center for 5 yards. Murphy followed around the end for 5 yards. The ball was given to C. A. C. for off- side play and Shields for the red and blue went through Georgetown’s line for thirty yards, having an open field almost. He Was tackled by Murphy and two kicks fol- lowed and the ball was left on George- town’s forty-five-yard line. C. A. C. tried to kick, but it was a failure and George- town got the ball at the same spot. Bahen, Georgetown's right half back, was kicked in the stomach. He was taken from the field on the shoulders of half a dozen friends and placed in an omnibus. In less than five minutes Carmody, Georgetown's quarter back, was seriously hurt, and was taken off the field in the same way. His leg was badly wrenched. Columbia's Enthusiasm, Shields’ run at 2:45, by which Columbia gained about thirty yards, caused the wild- est excitement on the south side of the field, which was largely Columbian in its sympathies. “Two to one Georgetown don’t score,” was the cry sent forth by an exuberant young man near the ropes. There was a rush in his direction by several would-be speculators, but he shrank into nothing- ness. Boyle, Georgetown’s right end, was badly hurt in a scrimmage at 3 o'clock. No Score in the First Half. Boyle, Georgetown right end, was hurt, but continued play. Georgetown was given 5 yards for offside play and the ball carried to center, Mahoney went around the end for 5 yards, but on the next pass was down- ed back of the line. Murphy next tried to kick, but the ball was stopped by C. A. C. line. Mahoney was hurt, but continued. Cc. A. C. got the ball on downs. Sefton made ten yards by a run around left end. | Short rushes through the center carried the | ball to Georgetown's 25-yard line. Lewis | went round end for 5 yards and was shoved through center for 3 yards. Lewis and Dickinson carried ball to Georgetown's 5- yard line. Three rushes at Georgetown | center failed of result and the ball went to Georgetown on her j-yard line. Time for the firs? half was called with the ball left on Georgetown’s 5-yard line. Score, nothing to nothing. Slugging Indulged In. There was a great deal of slugging on both sides. Callahan of Georgetown and Wells of Columbia were particular offend- ers, and were frequently separated by the umpire. Georgetown was clearly baving the worst of the casualties. ven big Ma- honey was knocked out for a few minutes in the first half. At the sight of his great form stretched on the ground the hearts of the wearers of the blue and gray sank PAGES. TWO CENTS, like lead. But the big man soon recovere: and went gallantly on with the play. Lively Scenes Between Halves. The field was a-swarm with men the mo- ment the whistle blew for the end of the first half. Par ins of both sides rushed from the ropes and began to march around to the tune of tocting horns and the rhythm of the college and club yells. The Georgetown men were greatly in the majority, and had two columns going, with banners flying and horns blowing. A large delegation from the Carroll Institute joined the mob, with two large silk banners of white and yellow. There was the best of good feeling, and the countermarching Mnes fortunately did not collide with each other, Columbia, 4; Georgetown, 0. The second half commenced at 3:23, Co- lumbia having the ball. Shields kicked and it was caught by Harley. Harley made 20 yards for Georgetown. 4 Two tries at center failed and Columb’ Athletic Club's ball. Shields backed, and Wells, who was playing well out, got the ball end ran forty yards, making a touch- down. No goal was made. Score, Colum- Lia, 4; Georgetown, 0. Another Georgetown Player Injured. After lively play, mostly in Columbia's favor. Boyle was badly hurt in a serlm- mage and taken off the field. A Disgraceful Mele Burritt took Boyle's place. After further play an exciting scrap occurred. Lewis was down close to the side line and a general melee followed, in which the police took a hand. Dickinson was in the hands of two officers, who seemed determined ‘o take him from the field. ¥ The affair was settled, however, and the game continued. The crowd became unmanageable on the south side, and the police were unable to preserve the lines. The spectators surged into the field and interfered \ith the play. Columbia Scores Again, A few minutes of 4 Lewis, for Columbia, made a good run from the center of the field and then made a touchdown at the | southwest corner. The angle was so great that Shields was unable to kick goal, the ball striking the cross wire. Score: Colum- bia, 8; Georgetown, 0. Six More for Columbia. At 4:20 Dickinson made a good run around the left end and scored a tou down. Goal was kicked. Score: Columbia, 14; Georgetown, 0. Another touchdown was made by Colum- bia, a goal was kicked, and the game end- Occurs. ed. The final score was: Columbia, 20; Georgetown, 0. ae 1S RES FOOT BALL AT RICHMOND. Virginia and North Carolina Univer- sities om the Field. Special Digpatch to The Eventing Star, RICHMOND, Va., November 2).—The all- absorbing topic in this city today is the great foot ball contest between the Univer- sity of Virgisia and the University of iforth Carolina for the championship of the south. For weeks this notable event has been looked forward to with much interest, «nd today the interest is Intense. Many of the shop windows in the retail department are lavishly decorated in the colors of the two institutions, and, strange to say, even here in Richmond public sympathy ts divided nearly equally between the two teams. A notable fact in this respect is that the students of Richmond College are wearing the Carolina colors almost to a man, while many other Virginians are fol- lowing theit example. Albert Riggs of Princeton will referee the game, and Stuart Janney, captain of the Johns Hopkins University team, will act as umpire. , The average weight of the Virginians Is only a little more than three pounds more than that of the Carvlinians. : The line-up of the teams was as follows: University of Va.

Algar’s boat house, con- taining himself, wife and six children, wag turned upside down, spilling the children out of their bunks Into the icy water, and it 1s feared one of his daughters has been drowned. John Hanson, a watchinan at the North- ert Pacitic hydraulic pump, went down i the debris and cannot be found. He was roasted to death or drowned, in the opinion of steamboat men. The tire department was called out at night, and 500 more people had gathered at the wharf. All the cattle pens of the Northern Pa- cific, together with the office and that com- pany’s 400-foot freight house, went down to the ground, and fire at once broke out and the pump station soon disappeared in the debris. Nearly all of the dock which fell into the is that portion of the water front which the city of Tacoma has been endeavoring to secure from the rall- road and the Txcoma Land Company. Al- ready the damage’is estimated at $50,000, Steamboat men claim a tidal wave, twen- ty-five feet high, had rushed up the sound and tore the dock away. Employes at thi wharf believe that there has been a grea subterranean land slide, or that a great fissure or hole has been formed in thé bay, causing the dock to be swallowed. It is not positively known whether the plung- ing of the docks into the bay caused the heavy sea which overturned Algar’s boat house and tore the steamers away from their fastenings, or whether it was in fact a tidal wave.
