CONTEST CLOSE TO THE FINISH | Game Ends with Ball Inside the Pellevue Five-Yard Line and in Possession of the Fast riio Sq Bonfires burned bright In Bellevue Sat- urday night, for the purple and old gold has beaten Tarklo and the students thought they had good eauso to celebrate, In & warmly contestel battle on the Bellovus campus Tarkio was foroed to take its medicine to the tune of 9 to 6, the local Iads making & field goal more than their opponents. With the result in doubt until the final minute of play the spectators were treated to » fine game of foot ball and many on the fleld rejoloed with Bellevue beca of the standing It gave that team to d feat Tarkio, which had won earlier in the season from the heavy Crelghton lads. At the end of the first half the score was 9 to 0 in favor of Bellevus, but the Prosbyterians were unable to score in the second, while Tarkio made a touch- down, followed by @ gosl and came within & yard of scoring again as time was called. Mortor was {njured in the second half and this nearly cost Bellevue the game, as he continued to play and made a ©costly fumble which gave Tarkio the ball within the five-yard line, but the sturdy Missourians were unable to push the bail over the goal. That was their chance to win the game and they missed it. Credit for winning the game goes largely to Mortor, Claybaugh, Primrose and Jones, who were in every fray and did themaelves proud by their superb tack- ling and the way they carried the ball into the camp of the enemy. Mortor saved the day several times by bringing down his man after he had passed the line and Curtis broke through and spolled several plays that otherwise might have been ex- pensive for Bellevus. Dow lied his eagle eye on the opposing end apd spolled sev- eral attempts at & forward pass. Clay- baugh wis & conslstent ground galner When called upon to carry the ball. Jones and Dow make s good palr of ends and on several ocoasions were on top of the op- posing backs befére they had a chance to start aftor recelving punts. The line as & whole played well, but lacked snep in charging. At times some one would be thrown to break up & play, but thers was not the consistent charging that is notice- able in the Crelghton team or in the Corn- huskers. Wind Favors Tarkio. Tarkio won the toss andytook the south «oal with the aid of the wind, but this did not help much, as the first score Bellevue made wi when Mortor booted a drop kick between the bars from the thiry-yard line before the middle of the first half. Nelther side had shown any superiority be- fore that time. A forward pass had given Bellevus the ball on the ten-yard line, but it was lost on downs. Tarkio made a couple of good gains when Bellevue got the ball again on & fumble which Ed Gowdy made because of the dive through the line made by Curtiss. Mortor tried for a field goal and was successtul. Bellevue, 3; Tarklo, 0. Bellevue kicked off to the north and the ball rolled along the ground to the twenty- five-yard line, where Thompson fumbled it and Dow secured the ball for Bellevue. Mortor missed & try at goal and Tarklo lined up on the twenty-five-yard line. On the first play the ball was fumbled and secured by Bellevue. On the next play Joe Claybaugh circled the left end for twenty- five yards for a touchdown, from which Dow kicked goal. Bellevue, 9; Tarklo, 0. After swaying back and forth for five minutes in the second half & sucoessful thirty-yard forward pass gave Tarkio pos- session of the pigskin on Bellevue's three- yard line and on the second ry Thompson carried It across and a goal was kicked, the cnly score of the second half. Bellevue turned out ome of the largest crowds of its foot ball career to watch its favorites defeat Tarkio, and the players were spurred to their utmost endeavors by the songs of the co-eds, who, bedecked with colors and megaphones, sang the songs of old Bellevue and cheered thelr best. The game was marked by many attempts st forward pass, but both teams seemed loath to give up the oval by punting, seem- ing to prefer to try for the distance by some trick play or forward pa The lineup: BELLEVUE TARKIO. i MeMilisn Withrow Beil Jones FROrT Hzwma0 oam FrOEFE: i EEPEAPLEAR PRIFB Thompeon Nltr.- Hamblin: umpire, Plank eld fRies, Cappell: head linssmen St ‘Clair. of hthn Mlv fiv Navy and Washington and Jefferson Play Each Other to Standstill.

BRILLIANT RUNS BY HALFBACKS Miller Repeatedly Breaks Through Michigan Lime and Makes Long Gains by Artful Dedgin ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 6—Outplaying [them at avery department of the game | Notre Dame defeated Michigan this after- |noon by the score of 11 to 3. The Indiana |team scored two well éarnea fouchdowns | against the Michigan eleven, while one | place kick by Captain Allerdice was Mich- |1gan's only score. The Notre Dame halfbacks showed some |of the most brilllant running that was ever seen on Ferry fleld. Repeatedly Miller broke through the Michigan team for runs of ten to thirty yards, breaking away from the Michigan tacklers by his wonder- ful dodging and twisting. Ryan, who scored Notre Dame's last touchdown, also ran and dodged wonderfully well. Notre Dame's first score was the result of a series of forward passes and onside Kkicks varied by plays through Michigan's left tackle. Miller scored the touchdown. The second score of the Indlana team came five minutes before the call of time in the second half. Wasmund missed a punt on Michigan's thirty-yard line and Ryan recovered the ball. nO the first play he made a thirty-yard run around Michi- gan's right end and scored, He also kicked goal. Michigan's only opportunity to score a touchdown was lost when with the ball on Notre Dame’s fifteen-yard line a place kick was attempted. Notre Dame broke through the Michigan line and blocked the ball, which rolled thirty yards and was re- covered by Lynch. This was the only time Michigan was within Notre Dame's fif- teen-yard line. While Captain Allerdice outpunted Vaughan, ragged work by the Michigan ends nullified his gain. Notre Dame runners were seldom downed in their tracks. Borleske, who started at left end for Michigan, recelved a broken collarbone in the first half. The lineup: MICHIGAN. DAME. .

AMES, Ia., Nov. 6.—(Special Telegram.)— By the decisive score of 1§ to 6, Ames evened up its humiliating defeat at the hands of Cornell last y Coppess, the great kicker, whose work contributed to Ames’ former defeat, did some great work during the first half. His long punts and forward passes were ground —gainers for Cornell. The forward passes in quick suc- cession gave Cornell a touchdown in the tirst fifteen minutes of play. Ames' play- ing was ragged at first and the men made plenty of fumbles. In returning punts they were outclassed by Cornell. Beedle made some flerce tackles for Cor- nell. When the Ames team work stitfened they began to make consistent gains throug hCornell's line and around the ends. Steady hammering brought the ball to CdrpelPs fifteen-yard line, and a fake run by Heggen put the ball within two yards of the goal, & line smash taking it over. The whistle blew with the score 6 to 6. Although Cornell made a few brilllant spurts In the second. half, Ames' goal was in danger but once, when a serles of pen- alties and end runs put Cornell on Ames’ fifteen-yard line. A serles of long, con- sistent gains with splendid runs by John- ston and Hergen brought Ames two touch- downs In quick successton. Coppess was out of the game in the second half, but in the face of Ames' long galns through Cornell's line his kicking could have made little difference in final results. The lineup: AMBS. Chapple .

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.—The substitu- tion of five men late in the second half saved the University of Pennsylvania foot ball team from defeat at the hands of Lafayette this afternoon. As it was the game resulted in a tle at 6 to 6. Neither team could score in the first half, but in the second period each side made a touch- down and kicked a goal. It was a kick blocked by Pennsylvania and the recovery of the ball by Lafayette inside Pennsylvania’s twenty-yard line that gave the visitors their opporttnity to score. 'Being unable to advande the bali rapidly enough MoCaa, the Lafayette full- back, tried for a goal, which was blocked, but & Layayette man received it With four yards to go on the third down, Me- Caa, while being tackled, made a beautiful forward pass to Irmschler and the latter scored, after which McCaa kicked goal. This touchdown stirred up the Pennsyl- vania eleven. Two new halfbacks and a fullback were rushed to the resoue. Hutch- inson at fullback, took the ball to the five- yard line, where it was lost on downs through Miller's poor work on an end run. Agaln Pennsylvania started for Lafayette's goal and in three plays Hutchinson took it over for a touchdown, from which Brad- dock kicked the goal with but a minute left to play.

Team: CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oot. 6.—It was Har- vard's plunging and “help the runner at- tack,” and its stone wall defense that de- feated Cornell in the first meeting at foot ball between the two universities in twelve years on Soldlers fleld today, by a score of 18 to 0. One touchdown was made in the first half after elghteen minutes of play, and two more were added in the sgc- ond, with goals from all three.

In the seo- ond half Frothingham circled the Cornell right end for fifteen yards, and then way hauled along with his jersey over his head ten yards further. The last touchdown was the culmination of another march from the center of the fleld with a forward pass.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.~The University of Chicago foot ball team overwhelmed thelr old-time rivals from Northwestern by the score of 84 to 0 on Marshall fleld today. At Do time during the game did North- western have an opportunity to score. The speedy and varied attack of Chicago proved 00 much for their opponents and the Chi- cago backs were far superior to the back- field of the Nortiwestern team. Chicago scorad its first touchdown after about ten minutes of play and after that it was only a question of how large the score would be. Chicago scored seventeen points in the first half and after gathering seventeen more {n the second half began to play a defensive game. The second half was but.a repetition of the first period of play, as Chicago dupli- cated its seventeen points. The Chicago backfield was changed early In the half, Davenport going in at left half, while Meraut was shifted to right half and Crawley went to the side lines. Both Menaut and Davenport shone by their brilllant end runs, several of these at- tempts netting more than twenty-tive yards. Withwine was taken out after scoring his fourth touchdown, as he was badly used up, and DeBoth replaced him.

LINCOLN, Nov, 6.—(Special Telegram,)— By a sensational return of a punt In a run of soventy yards in the last two minutes of play Quarterback Johnson toe day won a victory for Kansas In a game in which the Jayhawkers were beaten in nearly every department of play by Ne« braska. The Jayhawkers' thrilllng feat lodged the ball squarely behind the goal posts and Pleasant kicked an easy goal that made the score of the struggle ¢ to 0. The game was one of the most flercely fought exhibitions of the ‘“new foot ball" ever saw In Nebraska, and but for the wiggling and dodging of Quarterback John« #on In the waning seconds of the contest it must have been a 0 to 0 score. Johne #on's run was similar to one he made in the game with Nebraska last fall, when he raced sixty ya from a punt, placing the oval so near the Cornhusker goal that it was easily pushed over for the five points, In the battle today RBeltzer booted tie ball from Nebraska's forty-yard line. It fell into the hands of the Jayhawker quar- ter at the Kansas forty-five-yard line. Johnson was in the middle of the fleld, and, recelving the ball, he darted straight across the grounds for the north side, hurling off ‘tacklers and side stepping others. Within five yards of the side lines he turned west toward the Cornhusker &oal and wriggled away from more Corne husker tacklers. Here the Interference for the Jaywhaker was grand, four men being with him. He raced along the fringe of the field behind perfect protection ahd dropped behind the Nebraska goal for the points that won the game, Nebraska's Play Good. Nebraska, the team that before the gama was touted to lose by a margin, bewildered the Jayhawkers with its startling varlety of attacks. In both halves It outplayed Kennedy's men In but two departments of the game, punting and returning the ball from punts, The Cornhuskers never wavered befor the attack of their opponents and presented a stone wall from tackle to tackle. In the early minutes of the struggle Quarterback Johnson chose to send some plays at both sides of the line, but they were 50 effectually checked that he had ta rely on a punting game. In the use of the forward pass and on-side kick the Corne huskers completely outclassed the Kansas players. The Jayhawkers tried several shdrt kicks, but not one of them was a success so strong was the Nebraska de- fensive play. rt kiek made was snatched up an alert Cornhusker. nedy’s much talked of forward d to materalize and not one ted.
