Princeton met her Waterloo last Saturday
t'the hands of the University of Pennsyl-
anla. The field and day were as perfect
or foot ball as they could have been. The
grounds were neither too hard nor too soft ,
n fact , wcro Just yielding enough lo give
good foothold. The wind vvas blowing
gently almost directly across Ihe field , and
; ave nellher sldo any particular advantage ,
ellher wcalher or field can bo used lo ex-
lain Iho resull , which was a great sur-
, rlso to the majority ol the foot ball public ,
is tluy had the greatest confidence In the
hie v hlch did such magnificent work for
: 'rlnceton last season.
Pennsylvania starled oft wllh n kick well
down the field and Princeton , running the
ball back a short distance after the first
down , kicked to Ihe center of the field , thus
ilaclng the ball In Pennsylvania's posses-
Jon. Herein lies one of Ihe lessons of Iho
game. It was nollced laler , when
rlncelon kicked off , Ihat the Penn-
lylvanla line remained well down
he Held , and relied upon Full Back
Jrooke to run a shurt distance , until I
langer of being tackled , nnd relurn the ball
v Ih one of his Iremendous punts Then
hey would be all around the man who was
o receive It. He would have no chance tc
advance It. nnd they would have gained 11
ot of ground If he had muffed. I'rlnceto i
relied on Poe or Morse lo run the ball back
under Interference. 1'oe's catching , however ,
vas exceedingly bad. he irumns tr .u.iib Ins
o such un extent that the PomiBylyani i
ends were upon him before he could go
nto shape to run. Mois > e'fl catching wa.
ilso very bad nnd lost many sarda foi
There WPS considerable kicking In tin
. . nine , and Brooke outklcked Cochran Iwo t <
one. The advanlage lo a team of a gout
ilcker was clearly shown , and also the nd'
vantage of employing him to n great extenl
n the game. Suppose Princeton hnd th (
iall on her forty-ynrd line. Cochran , slnnd'
tig back of the line about ton yards for t
kick , would be upon his ow'n thirty-rim
Ine , kicking to Brooke , who would be abou' '
en yards be nd the center of the field , 01
on Pennsjlvanla's forty-five yard line 'Wlier
Biooke received the ball , he vvas able tt
run up the Held between live and ten yard !
and kltk with ease back to Princeton :
: vventy-yard line. Thus , one can see that
although Princeton regained possession o
the ball , she had lost twenty yards. To n ;
; oot ball men Ihls lells Ihe slory. Prince-
.on , on accounl of her poor kicking- qualities
was continually on the defensive. Althougl
Pennsylvania's style of Interference rosultec
n good advances , It vvas stopped In the ma
lorlty of cases.
NGW. SUCCESSFUL. INTERFERENCE
Pennsylvania used a new stvle of Inler
ference. another Invention of Coach Wood
ruff , upon the very flrst down she Hhovvci
It. and she played It Ince asntly throughou
the game nnd with good suece = s. It vvn' '
formed something like this : The two fuard
would fall back from their positions In tin
line and the two tackles would step Into tin
guards' position next the center , so as ti
protect the quarter bick In passing the ball
The. guards would then assume n posltlot
two or thiee yards behind the line nnd dl
rectly behind the guard position , slnndlnf
one behind Ihe olher and very 'close to
gelher , Whnrton usually leading. Thli
placed them a llllle In advance of the bach !
and slightly to one side. The two enu :
would fall back and take a position upoi
the other side of tho' back" , standing no
quite so close together ns the guards Tin
packs took their noimal position , possibly i
few feet further back than ordinarily. Thl :
was the formation of the Interference. 1
was used on nearly every occasion , vvhethe :
the atlack was on the center , on the tackli
or around tha end. In the play on tlv
tackle It appeared as If Ihe guards made i
run directly al Ihe opposing tackle , helpec
Py ono of the backs. The two ends madi
for the guard and the other buck took can
of the exlra man behind the opposing line
thus splitting nn opening for the man vvltl
the ball. Sometimes they did not send thi
runner nt Ihe point which the guards Etru"k
The guards would rush at the guards' po
sltlon merely for a fake , and the man vvltl
the ball would run with the two ends ai
nterferers at the tackle on the opposite sldi
of the line. The ball vvas kept concealci

which of the Tigers to take care of , and ui
a result the men usually to hard to pas :

Despite the many reports that the line o
the Pennsylvania team was composed o

too , Pennsylvania showed remarkable skill
but this was nol a surprise. Williams , a

gridiron Ihls year. Knlpe and Osgood dli

Cochran's work vvas very poor. Morse am

Ihey had no Inlerferenco to speak of. Peat

bhocklngly bad muffs of punts and lacklei

Pennsylvania proved beyond a peradven
lure Ihat she Is In the same class with Yale
Harvard and Princeton. Neither Yale no
Harvaid could win from her If she playe
the same kind of a game she played wit :
Princeton. She plays Harvard on Thanki

'Young ' Napoleon" of billiards , demon-
straled his rlghl to the Ulle of champlor
bllllardlst of Ihe world lonlghl by defeallnj
Jake Schaeffer , Ihe "Wizard. " The vlctorj
was a. decisive one. Ives beating his old-
time instructor by the score of 3.COO to 3,07-
points. Ives has been challenged by Edouart
I'outnlll , the French expert , to play for * XK
a. side. As Ives Is willing to accommodnts
the I'renchrnan. the game will probably b (
played In the near future.
Ives opened this evening with a run o ;
twenly-elKhl. Bchaeffer. In his Inning , re
spondcd with a beautiful tun , which cami
to an abrupt close after he had mad <
ninety -lliree. He misted a simple carom
solely Ihrough carelessness. There was m
excuse for such n bad miss , and It mad. .
the Wizard's friends lose heart. The mis :
left the balls In position for Ives. who wa !
not slovy to take advantage of the chance
and , with careful nursing and exccllen
round table play. his. cue ball clicked me
lodlously for a total of 331. This breaks thi
record at this style of game , suppmntlni
Sclmeffer's run of 271 In the last match
The nm vvas n remarkable one , and vvai
an excellent example of high class playing
The run practically setlled vvhaleve
chances Schaeffer might have had. Kvei
his more ardenl admirers conceded he wa
bealen Ives' average suffered when nex
he failed lo count. Schaeffer also scored i
zero The Michigan boy's next two Inning
yielded him twenty-nine and thirty
Schaeffer closing the Innings with breaks o
thirty-live und twenty-four. A very pretti
run of 101 by Schneffer followed nnd al hi
? . ; tet5Rt he further altered his score bi
Just 235. These fine rallies awoke consider
able enthusiasm. "Jake" vvns playing i
fine up hill game , which was fully npprc
elated bv the fcpectetors. Ives endeavorei
lo finish mailers In his nexl Inning , bu
stopped after making twenty-three. Th
spectators had not long to wall , for Ive

SYRACUSE- . Y. , Nov. 17. Con Rlordan ,
he pugilist , died at the Cnndee at 3:30 : this
morning from the result of the blow In-
Icted by Bob Fltzslmmons at Jacob's theater
ast night. At about 3 o'clock ho was In
he same state of unconsciousness which ho
iad been In all evening , when his laborious
ircathlng nnd nervous twitching of the
nuscles of his face and body warned the
plijslclans that his death was approaching
\t 316 | o'clock his breathing had almost cn-
Irely stopped nnd at 3 30 Dr. Tollman pro
nounced him lifeless. At his bedside at the
line of his death were three physicians and
about twenty members of the local sporllng
rntcrnlly. Fltzslmmons when Informed of
its death was much affected nnd bursl Into
sobs. The coroner was notified of his death
at 3 45.
Fltzslmmons was taken to police head
quarters at 2 o'clock. Ho seemed In low
spirits at Ihe outcome of the accident and
mplored the ofllcers that he be not required
.o go lo Ihe bedside of the djlng man.
When explaining the light to the police ho
said Klordan was only taking his evening
lap and that ho thought he would come out
all right. Ho said Ulordan had been drlnk-
nX a good deal for a long time. The com-
> any were about to dlscharga him as ho
vas not lively enough. "I did not lilt hard
I only tapped him like that , " striking an
officer lightly on the cheek. "When he fell
o his knees he said : 'Call time. ' I didn't
think I had hurt him and supposed ho only
wanted lo escape punishment. We had only
jeen at It n few minutes when I made a
mss at him. I hit him on the right cheek
with the back of mv right hand. "
ritzslmmons Is being detained by the police
pending the resuit of the coroner's Inquiry.
Captain Glorl , Fltzslmmons' manager , said ,
'lllordan has been drinking tua\Iy ! for
nonths I ndv scd him several days ago
0 stop drinking and go to work and train
! le promised ho would , and had started and
walked about ten days , causing swelling of
the feet. He was accustomed lo fortify Jilm-
self with whisky before his performance
each evening , and last night ho probably took
an extra large amount , as he felt more
: han usually out of sorts. I am convinced
that had he taken bolter care of himself
10 would not have gona on the stage. "
Dunfee , who boxed with Fltzslmmons
ast night after the mishap to niordan , Is the
nan who knocked " "
out "Dan" Donovan al
Maple City Day , near this city , about
elghleen months ago. Donovan died under
similar circumstances ns did Ulordan last
night. I > . J. Donoghue , who died In New
York yesterday , was the referee In the Dun-
fle-Donovan fight.
HOW FITZ STRUCK HIM.
The b6ut which resulted fatally lo Rlordan
was a lively one. In facl , Filzslmmons Is
such a quick boxer and hard hllter that his
opponent never has an easv time. The Idea
'n a sparring bout Is to In rest Ihe audlenct
.vtlhout making 11 a flghl. To make a boul
Dear a close resemblance lo a fight , how
ever , the star nol always deals gently wilt
Dls opponent. Every man In the house was
positive last night that ritzslmmons' blow
landed on the Jaw , and that Rlordan dropped
forward on his face the worst kind of a
knockout. It did not seem to be a hard
alow , and probably was not. The chances
are that U was a new punch which rilz-
ilmmons said he discovered a few weeks ago
It may be described pracllcally In Ihls way
lllordan would lead wllh a stralghl left , II
was the custom for Filzslmmons lo countei
wllh his right , forcing Rlordan's lefl bacl
to his own face and neck , with Ihe Idea ol
Filz landing a light punch. Fltzslmmon :
conceived the Idea of reversing this methoc
when Ihe lead of his opponenl was nol par
ticularly strong. Rlordan would be allow < J
to shove out his left , and Fltzslmmons would
counter with his tight on Ihe sldo of Ihe
opponent's lefl arm , forcing his (1st ( oul ami
away from Iho body. Then , wllh lightning
rapidity , Fltzslmmons would continue the
countering blow , landing In nine out of ten
cases on the Jaw or face.
II Is ono of Ihe prettiest , most scientific
alows In pugilism , bul It has been contended
very hotly by authorities on boxing Ihat a
man cannot punch hard enough with It lo
produce a knockoul. If this was the blow
practiced last night the arguments against
It are forever thrust aside , for here , where
there was no Intention to pul niordan outer
or even hit him hard , his friend and em
ployer landed the blow which ended his
lifeAn
An autopsy was held on Rlordan's remain :
at 11 a. m. The certlflcalc Issued gives a <
the cause of death "hemorrhage within UK
cranial cavity , causing compression of Ihe
brain. "
Rlordan was found lo be In perfect health
Dr. D. M. Totmon , who conducted lh <
autopsy , says lhal Rlordan must have beer
slruck a terrific b'ow on the chin , vvhlcl
communicated direct with the base of tin
bralm The depression of the right sldo o.
the brain was very deep and remained foi
half an hour after Ihe clol was removed.
Captain Glorl has engaged Corporalloi
Counsel Charles E. Ide of Ihls city as counsc
for Fltzsimmons.
Filzslmmons Is charged with manslaughte
In Iho first degree. Ho was taken befor <
County Judge Norlhrup Ihls morning for ball
It was discovered , however , that his attorne ;
had failed to waive examination In his behali
This formallly was necessary before he coul
be released and he was locked up In Ihe cour
house cells until Ihe police Justice could b
found.
At 3.55 the errors In Fltzslmmon's arraign
ment were corrpcted , and ball was fixed a
(10,000. Yank Sullivan and Charles Can
signed the ball bond.
HOW FIT55 FEELS.
"Yank" Sullivan brought the news of hi
sparring partner's death to Fltzslmmons.
"My God , you don't mean Connie Is dead !
said the pugilist. "I cannot believe 11.
did not hit him hard enough lo Injure
child "
Filzslmmons was completely broken up ovc
the affair. Ho did not sleep al all last nigh
and refused to eat this morning
"You can have anything In Ihe world yo
want , Fllz , If you will only ask for It , " sal
the officer In charge of the. police stallon.
"Thai's Iho way Ihey will treat me. You'r
very kind , " was Bob's reply.
To a reporter Fltzalmmona said : "Do yo
suppose I would strike my sparring partne
wllh any force ? I knew ha had been drlnh
Ing hard , but did not know he was In such
condition. Invariably when I sparred with hlr
he turned blue around the mouth , and
was a sign for me lo let up. I never slruc
him hard.
"Last night I noticed after the first e >
change of blows that he was not right. Th
blow that I delivered that caused the troubl
was light ns I could make It , merely slai
ping htm with the back of my hand. Ho fe
down and then rose and staggered around ,
put my arm around him to assist him off tli
stage.
"When he fell headlong I thought he wa
faking , and was thoroughly disgusted bi
cause somebody In the house , thinking
was a fake , hissed me. I was never hlsse
before. I began to comprehend In a few m <
ments that something was wrong with m
sparring partner and I was horrified to fin
him still unconscious. I attributed this I
his drunken condition and thought he woul
revive from the stupor In a few minutes.
"I have known this man for eight yeai
and he was always a hard drinker. Detng 1
poor condition , I presume he had come heai
difficulty that brought on the disaster. I ai
nt fearful of my position , Everybody In U
opera house was aware that the blows whlc
1 struck were as light as I could posslbl
make them. Naturally , It makes my bloc
run cold when I think of the condition i
my friend , not because I have any fear of it
reeults to me- , but I do not want thai man' '
death laid at my dcor. "

cltted down agiln. He smll"d a second
me. Then I tried to pick him up and some
no helped me nnd I fell over Rlordan , They
iclped htm off the stage and I went on with
Dun fee.
"I fee that the newspapers say Rlordan

Mcsbrs. Smllh , Clarke and Alexander , thrco
of Omaha's ccllsls , made a ccnlury run to
Red Oak , In. , last Wednesday. The trip
consumed fifteen hours of hard riding nnd
walking
Three of the Tourist wheelmen made the
round trip to Illnlr last Sunday , the club's
called run for the week. They had a hard

does not look as If the hard times had made
a great Impression upon them.
That excellent c > cling authority. "The Irish

saves the tire from the hard wear usually
seen In tires that are taken care of In a

Several weeks ago the members of ono ot
Rockford , 111. , Swedish churches clubbed to-
gelher and purchased a bicycle for their
pistor. Ho In turn became an expert and used
his gift quite frequently. Now the church
committee have asked him for his resignation
or else for the return of their gift , claiming

pistor refused to give up his mount , how
ever , and Is bicked up by the majority ot
his congregation , many of whom use Iho
wheel as a means of locomotion.
The third annual ordinary run of the Chicago
cage C > cling club was a grand success.
Thirty-five old and new vets turned up at
the club house and took their weary way to
Pullman A svstcm of fines for dismounts ,
headers , last man In , etc. , created consider
able fun. Ordinaries were sold before the
mn for 50 cents each nnd what were left of
them wcro given away afterward , The pro
ceeds of the run were turned over lo Miss
Mjrtle Hopkins , the poor unfortunate young
lady cyrllst who was so brutally run over
by one of Chicago's magnates on the 12th of
September The young Hdy has been made
a cripple for life , and , as she vvas dependent
upon her earnings for her support , and now
her means of obtaining a livelihood has been
taken from her , this lltlle sum , with other * .
proved a godsend.
