THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1896 FAST AND FURIOUS FOOTBALL GAMES PLAYED IN THE EAST : University of Chicago Wins ‘ a Splendid Victory Over Michigan. _ Brilliancy of the First Collegiate Game P ayed Under a Roof. ‘Fu Iback H-rshberger's Drop Kick for Goa Bstablishes a N w Mark cn Western Gri.irons. CHICAGO, Irs.. Nov. 26.—The Univer- sity of Chicazo won a splendid victory over the strong eleven of the University of Michigan to-day, the score being 7 to 6. The game was played in the Coliseum, and the 20,000 peopie who cheered the :players coneratulated themselves on being - present at the first collegiate game of foot- ball played under roof. This is the first time the Cbicago eleven has defeated Michigan in three years, and a successful drop kick by Hershberger and a dropped punt and a safety were 1esponsible for the victory. Michigan did not score until the second hali, when the bail was worked down the field and Hepnninger was pushed over the line, Ferbert kicking an easy goal. Indoor iootbail isan innovation, but it promises 10 become a permanency fo: late games, While the other fields about Chi- cago were sloppy and the players were floundering about in seas of mud, the ath- letes in the Coliseum played upon dry sur- face and secure from theelements. A two- inch layer of tanbark was placed over the “bard earth, and there was no inconven- ience from dust. None of the punts touched the beams overhead, and sp-ctators and players were captivated with the comfortable condi- tions under which the coniest was waged. “Darkness came on at 4:30 and the players were scarcely distinguishable for a time, " but electric lights soon rendered each play distinct. _ The credit for Chicago's victory un- doubtedly belongs to Fullback Hersh- ‘berger, who played balf on offensive work. | His drop kick for goal from about the 45-vard line establishes a mark in West- | ‘ern foutball. The sphere sailed squarely between the goal-posts and the Michigan Tooters were stupefied. - Michigan, as expected, was stronger than Chicago in the line, but Stagg’s men held well for downs at critical points. Chicago was at least equal on the ends, and Ler men ot down the field better on punts. Coy was replaced by Gordon Ciark at halfback in the second half, Henry Clark going into the game at quarterback. Michigan moved Herbert from quarter to half at the end of the first half, retiring Pingree. Drumbeller took Fervert’s place at quarterback, Hersnberger kicked off for Chicago at 1:35, Michigan defending the south goal. Pingree was downed after carrying the ball back ten yards. After several rapid exchanges Hersuberger tried a drop kick from the twenty-vard line, but failed. After two downs Hogg puntei twenty yards for Michigan. Hogg kicked out and Chicago got the ball on Michigan’s forty-five-yard line. Hersuberger imme- - diateiy punted to the opposing iwo-yard line, Hogg cttempting to punt aut of danger, but the ball was blocked by Hamill and bounded among the specta- tors, Hogg seeing it and giving Chicago a safetv. Score: Chicago 2, Michigan 0. Cuicaro received the ballon the punt- out at the forty-five-yard line and followed it up with gains of two and seven yards through Michigzan’s right tackle. Hersch- berger then dropped back three yards for a kick, sending the oval prettily between the goal posts for five points. Score: Chicago 7, Michigan 0. Thg game had been in progress but fifteen minutes. Hogg kicked off to Hershberger, who re- turned the pigskin, Michigan securing it on its 25-yard line. Soon after Michigan - began to hammer the line. Two short 20,000 and 25000 people saw the game. Missouri was overmatched from start to finish and the Kansans won almost as they pleased. During the game Sinett, Tucker, Cooley and Brannan of the Mis- sourians had to be carried from the fiela. Dowdell, Perry, Corrigan and McAllister took their places. Kansas made two touchdowns and Hester kicked two goals in the first haif ana three in the Second. The Indian (Bain) did the lion’s share of the work for the Jayhawkers and Shaw and Sinett for the Missourians. EVANSTON, Inp., Nov. 26.—Wisconsin and Northwestern Univers: ies plaved a tie game of football at Evanston to-dav, the score being 6 to6. The game was sup- posed to go a good ways in settling the Western championship, as the winner was to play the winner of the Michigan- Chicago game, Although the score was a tie, the Evanston ieam clearly outplayed the badgers irom the start. 'W. 8. Hotch- kiss, & 13-year-oid Loy, was trampled under foot during the last half and had anarm broken. The game was played ina hard rain. DENVER, Coro., Nov. 26.—The Univer- sity of Boulder and the Denver Athletic Club football teams contested for su- premacy this afternoon on a gridiron cov- ered with sleet and snow and played the game throughout in the teeth of a driving sncw und bitter northwest wind. Score: First hali—Denver 5, Boulder 0; second hali—Denver 0, Boulder 8. ANNAPOLIS, Mp., Nov. 26.—The naval cadets were defeated to-day by Lafayette by a score of 18 to 6.

Best “Rubertin EW YOR Y., Nov. 26— thousand persons saw the eleven of Brown University defeat the plucky Indians of the Carlisle school at Manhattan Field this afternoon, the final score being: Brown 24, Carlisle Indian School 12. Brown’s victory, which was rather a surprise, was mainly due to the magnifi- cent playing of Gammons and Futtz. It was in the second half that the two hali- bucks made sensational runs and won the game. Gammons was the fi:st to score in the last half with a grand run of eighty yards, in which he walked clean awav from Cayou, the speedy Indian haliback. Futtz ran sixty yards for the next score and the final touchdown was the result of a beautiful concerted run in which Colby interfered for Gammons, enabling the lat- ter to pass Metoxen and score after a dixty-five yard sprint. It was the first time during the season that the Indians had such fast scoring backs opposed 10 them and the redskins were completely outclassed when it came to running. As was expected, the Carlisle boys were able to go through Brown’s line for big gaing, and if it had not been for a coupie of inmbles at critical moments and a very poor decision on the vart of the time- keeper at the end of the first half the score might have been a tie. A feature of the Indians’ play was the cool, strong and well-timed kicking of Captain Bemis Pierce. He outpunted Hali and made good gains at every at- tempt. The redskins fought heroicaily to the end and the crowd, which was en- thusiastically in favor of the “natives,” The line-up was cheered them heartily. as follows: Wh-elock .Lone Wolf Colby (eap) Gammons ..Quarterback.

The ball was then on Chicago's 22-yard line. A tandem play yielded three moreand a series of line plays took it to Chicago’s nine-yard line. A touchdown seemed im- minent, but Hershberger punted out of danger. Michigan was unable to score and tue half ended 7 to 0 in favor of Chi- cago, the ball near the center of the field. " Hogg kicked off to Hershberger in the . second half at 2:23. He carried the ball - back ten yards and punted as he was about to be tackled, completing a wounderiul play. After about fifteen minutes’ play Michigan was given the ball for holding at Chicago’s 37yard line. It was getting dark and a discussion arose as to continu- ing. Playwas resumed after ten minutes, .and the lights were turned on after Michi- gan had scored a touchdown. Chicago gained ten yards through the line on a re- volving wedge, and & series of short gains carried the pigskin to the opposing two- yard line. Chirago beld for two downs, but on the third Henninger was pushed over the line right by the goal posts. Ferbert kicked .an easy goal. Score: Chicago 7, Michigan 6. There were iwelve minutes yet to play and Michigan bent every energy. A short time after the kickoff the v.sitors . gotthe ball and again began hammering the left side of Cbicago’s line jor gains of three to seven yards. The ball was thus worked to Chicago’s 30-yard line and a revolving wedge given ten more. Chi- cago secured the ball on a fumble at its 20-yard line and the Michigéns’ chances of victory were dashed. The second half . ended with the ball in Ch cago’s hands on M chigan’s 35-yard line. Final score: Chicago 7, Micnigan 6.

Fierce and at Times M1 icious Tactic: Characterize th: Game on the Quakers’ Grounds. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 26.—Penn- sylvania this afternoon defeatea Cornell by a big score, but the plucky boys from Ithaca succeeded in twice crossing the Quakers’ goai-line. Pennsylvania scored six touchdowns for a total of 30 and com- pelled Cornell to make a safety touch- down, making the total score Pennsyl- vania 32, Corne!l 10. Cornell furnished a surprise by the first hard, plucky game she played. Corneil’s first touchdown was due to Beacham's magnificent running. In two runs the Cornell captain carried the ball around Pennsylvania’s end for a total of nearly fifiy yards and landed it benind Quaker goal-line. This was in the first half, and in the second half Cornell got the ball on Pennsylvania’s twenty-yard line and carried it directly up to and over the goal-line of the red and blue, where Ritchie scored the touchdown on a plunge through the center. Beacham’s general, all around play and running with the ball was as fine an exhibition of balfback work as has been seen here this year, and to his great playing is mostly due the credit of Cornell’s scoring. While Cornell played fast, it was un- luckily overmatched, overweig .ted by its heavier and stronger adversaries, and could offer only a siubborn but unavail- ing resistance to Pennsylvania’s advances. Pennsylvania’s style of play bears heavily upon the opposing team, and ihe Cornell piayers suffered severely. Cornell quently had men hurt, and before the game was over had revlaced three players by substitutes, While Pennsylvania had anumber of men hurt, none were compelled to leave the field. While Pennsylvania won rather easily to-day as was expected, the Quakers lacked the fierce dash and enerey which it showed in the second half of the Harvard game. The guards’ back interference was worked effectively against Cornel!’s line, and Gilberi frequently went around the Cornell ends for good gains. After a close, foggy morning the weather cieared and by noon the sun was shining brightly. The air was soft and the heat of the sun made heavy wraps for the spec- tators too weighty and the players suf- fered considerably from the warmth. A crowd of 13,000 people was present when the two teams came upon the field. The fo’lowers of Pennsylvania lost no time in testing the capacity of their lungs, but a smell and valliant band of Ithacans cn the stand replied to the Quakers’ cheers, and throughout the afternoon this little contingent of Cornellians made their pres- ence known by their constant cries. A light breeze, that was of but little ad- vantage to either side, biew across the field. Captain Beacham won the toss and took the ball. Fennell kicked off for Corneli to Pennsylvania’s twenty-yard line. Dur- ing the first ten minutes of piay both teams played a kicking game and neither side had much advantage. Captain Wharton, for the first time in his life, did the kicking at fullback for Pennsylvania. He also outpunted Ritchie a few yards on each kick. The Cornell man did very pretty work in catching punts and got his kicks off cleanly and quickly from close up benhind the line. Pennsylvania gradually worked the ball up to Cornell’s five-yard line, where Ut- fenheimer broke through and bLlocked a kick of Ritchie’s. Ritchie fell upon the ball behind his goal line for a safety touchdown. Pennsylvania got the bull on the kickoff and bucked Cornell’s line for forty-five yards to the tep-yard line. On a fake pass Giloert went around the right end for a touchdown. The kickout wasa failure and no goal resulted. In the first scrimmage after bis kick Reed was badly hurt in tackling &8 man and was carried from the field, Taylor taking his place. After several interchanges of kicks Cor- nell got the ball in the center of the field. Aided by fine interference Beacham went around Pennsylvania’s leit end, and avoiding ail the Pennsylvania tacklers, scored a touchdown after a twenty-yard run. The ball was directly in front of the goal post, but Ritckie failed for the try at goal, the ball striking the crossbar and bounding back. Pennsylvania woke up after this, and gaining possession of the ball shortly after the kickoff, rushed it from the center of the field by hard line bucking to Corneil’s two-yard line. Minds then went through the center for a touchdown and Woodruit kicked the goal. Aiter the kickoff Penn- sy.vania without losing the ball smashed through Cornell’s line for sixty yarls and Uffenheimer went through a center for another touchdown. Woodruff again kicked goal. The ball had been in play but a few moments when time for the first hall was called, the score standing: Penn- sylvania 18, Cornell 4. After ten minutes’ intermission play was resumed. Pennsylvania tried to work a trick on Cornell on the kickoff. Instead of kicking the ball hard Woodruff booted it aiong the ground, and following ciosely tried to fall upon it after it had rolled twenty yards, but a Cornell man was ahead of him. After one down Ritchie punted to the center of the fisld. Morice could make no gain, and on the second down the ball was passed to him again. Morice made a gorgeous fumble and Beacham snaiched up the ball and rushed to Pennsylvania’s goal with a clear field. Beacham had covered twenty yards with Minds close at his heels before the Quaker fullback caught him and threw him vi- ciously on Pennsylvania’s thirty-yard line. Cornell could not advance and Ritchie punted to Minds on Pennsylvania’s one- yard line. Taussig was on top of Minds almost as soon as be caught the bell and hurlea himself across the goal line. ‘The Quuker fullback, however, before falling had calied *‘down’’ and so saved a safety. Pennsylvania took the ball and bucked through Cornell’s line for thirty yards from their own one-yard line. Cornell got the ball on a punt and Beacham made another run for thirty yards around Penn- sylvania’s left end to Pennsylvania’s forty- five-yard line. Cornell could not advance and punted to Pennsylvania’s twenty-yard line. Pennsylvania fumbled on ti:e first down and Cornell got the ball on Penn- sylvania’s twenty-five-yard line. Ritchie and McKeever bucked the left the | fre- | side of the line for fifteen yards. Beacham bucked t e left side also for nine yards and was only downed when one yard from Pennsylvania’s goal. On the next down Riichie was pushed over for a touchdown. Ritchie easily kicked the goal, making Cornell’s score 10. An exchange of kicks followed the kick- off and then Pennsylvania got the ball in the middle of the field and by a series of hard, fierce rushes carried it up to Cor- nell’s goal, where Woodruff went over for a touchdown. Woodruff failed at h:s try at goal. The next touchdown made by Pennsylvania was from a fumbled punt by Riichie on Cornell’s two-yard line, Boyle faliing upon the ball for a touch- down. Woodruff kicked the goal. As soon as Pennsylvania regained possession of the ball from the kickoff it again carried it up the field by hard line bucking and Uffenheimer made a touchdown and the last one scored. Woodruff iailed again at his try for goal. But a few minutes more of play after this remained and when time was called Pennsylvania had pos- session of the ball on Cornell’s thirty-yard line, ‘With to-day’s game the football season of 1836 for Pennsyivania and Cornell closed.

LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 26.—A joint tariff sheet has just been issued by the South- western Traffic Association. It covers rates to the City of Mexico and Mexican common points. The tariff bears a date of November 21 and will go into effect December 1. The readjustment was brought about by a claim puat in by the Louisville and Nashville road for a differ- ential that would give that road s share of the business. The rate irom New York is 75 cents and all rail from St Louis to the City of Mexico is 83 cents. By the new rating the Louisvilie ana Nasbville can ship from Bt Louis to tie City of Mexico via Pensacola, Fla., at 74 cents—a reduction of 8 cents in favor of this city and a gain of 1 cent a.ainst New York. By the same differential the St. Louis rute to Mexico is lower by 6 cents than from Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville and Piusburg. —_—— TO PENMNSYLVANIA TROOPS.

CHICAGO, Inn, Nov. 26.—A special from New York says: Coroner Tuthill said yesterday that the chewical analysis veing made by Professor Witthaus for the purpose of ascertaining if the viscera of Frank P. Arbuck'e, who was found dead at the corner of West Une Hundred and Fitty-third steeet and Eighth avenue, con- tained poison was not yet completed. He said that enough progress had been made by Proiessor Witihaus, however, to prove that “knockout” drops had not been given him. It may be discovered that morphine or some such drug was administered to Arbuckle, he said, but no indications to that effect had yet been discovered. The professor will not finish the analysis for about two weeks. e LI Has Lost His Memory.

By a Score of 12 to 6 the Lake City Team Defeats the Men From the Hub. CHICAGO, I, Nov. 26.—Tweuty-two exhausted and bruised football players, decorated with mud from head to foot, walked off the Chicago Athletic Assoma- tion field at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The Cnicago team carried with it also the honor of having won the fourth annual coutest on the gridiron against the Boston Athletic eleven. The home team doubled tha score made by the overmatched vis- itors, the figures at the close of the game being 12 to 6. Boston’s players were too weak and slow for the opposite aggrega- tion of muscle and running power. A heavy rain fell most ®f the time, driven by & brisk wind, which was in Chicago’s favor in the first half, when eight of their twelve points were made. Three men were disabled—Grabam and Butler of Boston and Choynard of Cuicago, Graham having tne ligaments of his right leg broken, but there was no dirty work done except by the mud-laden field.

Y., Nov. 26.—Richard Croker said emphatically yesterday that he did not intend to resume the personal direction of ti.e affairs of Tammany Hall. Soon after the holidays he plans to return to England to look after his racing stable there. The date of his coming back is un- certain, but it Is believed he wili be here some time in September of next year. To a representative of the United Asso- ciated Presses, who called his attention to a report that owing to business matters John C. Sheehan, who has been the executive head of Tammany Hali, was go- ing to retire, he said: “I hope this is not so; it would be unfortunate for the organi- zation, Mr. Sheehsn has made a great record for this year for Tammany. The organization was practically without any <ufficient fund for 1ts campaign expenses. Yet Tammany Ha'l polled for the Demo- cratic National ticket over 135,000 votes. To my mind it was a wonderful showing.” Mr. Croker said that since nis arrival in this city he has found no one who does not believe that it will be in theinter- est of the city to elect a Democratic ticket next year. “I cannot see,’” he said, *'that the peo- ple ot the city have gained by electing the so-called reform administration.” it 35 5 BN CREATES QUITE A STIR. Seevetary Franeis 2hrows a Bomb Among Gold-Standard Democrats. CHICAGO, Iin, Nov. 26,—A special from Kansas City, Mo., says: SometLing of a stir was created among the gold- standard Democrats here last night by the reading of a spirited letter from D. R. | Francis, Secretary of the Interior, at a banquet held in celebration of the recent defeat of tree silver. Adter referring to the result of the re- cent election and aeclaring that, in his opinion, it s-ttled the financial question at least until the existing standard shall have been given a fair and thorough trial, Secretary Francis said: “While I agree with the advocates of sound money in the fight r cently made, there are many principles advocated by some of those wbo have been advocates of that cause to which I cannot subscribe. If some legislation is not enacted to check tne growing influence of wealth and cir- cumscribe the powers of the trusts and monopolies there will be an uprising of the peovle before the century closes which will endanger our institutions.” iR S o VIRGINIA’S (LuSE VOIE. of the Canvassers Aids the Democratic Candidates. RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 26.—The State Board o!f Election Canvassers met again lust night and made a recount, which will probably give to Charles M. Wallace Jr. | (D) the certificate of elector for this dis- trict. The county, it was thought, would exclude Mr. Wallace and give McKinley one elector. H. D.

He says: ““While I believe I received a majority of the legal votes cast in the Tenth Dis- trict on November 3, still upon the face of the returns Mr. Yost, under his various designations, has a majority of 147, and I cannot accept an advantage from the re- versal of this majorily, not on the ground 4 of frauds, whi.h { belieye were committed against me, but upon purely technical grounds.” > Recount P SR SILVER LEADERS CONFER, Factions in Congress Are Their Programmes.
