    THE OMAHA DAILY BEE.
TWENTY-FRIST YEAH. AHA xnniJAY MORNING 1 OVEMBER 27 , 1SUL NUMBER 102-
HAD TOO MUCH HARD MUSCLE ,
Iowa University Boys Too B'g and String
for the Nebraska Toira.
VERY PRETTY BUT. ONE SIDED GAME ,
Gnl'nnt Flulit Made hr the Klovcn
i'rom I Inroln A nliiHt OddH'Ihcy
Could Not Overcome De
feat Nut
1CTOKY porches
upon the banners of
Iowa.
There was probably -
ably a crowd of 2,500
P001"- ! ' ntl n bdl-
"nut and cnthus-
ins'lc ' crowd it was
t00' ( lssclllblcd nt
day afternoon to
witness the great In
terstate foot ball
match , between the teams ot the Iowa and
Nebraska universities.
The day was an ideal ono for the sport ,
being neither too warm nor too cold , but of
that even temperature best calculated for
successful play. The sky was overcast with
a film of leaden clouds , rendering the light of
that mellow charactet host suited for the
visual organs when put to n prolonged and
severe strain' .
At ns early an hour as half-past ! ! the
grounds were fairly swarming with the ex
cited followers of the two teams , nnd at the
commencement of hostilities the seono was a
picturesque ono indeed. Lining the u-cst
limit line was phnlunx after phalanx of men
nnd bovs , while In the rear ot these wns nn
ocean of vehicles , .from the cumbersome
tally-ho down to the tandem dog cart , filled
with fair women nnd bravo men , all be
decked in guy colors , which lent much light
nnd t-no to what might otherwise
have bcon considered a very somber Hem-
brunut. These that were fearful of
the efforts of the November nir had
their uneasiness quicisly dissipated
after tlio ball was once put into
play , and tbo muscle nnd brawn of the two
rlvul stntes were in active conflict. The
quick shifting of the situation , tbo rush and
whirl nnd the general hurly-burly of the bat
tle , as ono side or the other advanced or fell
back , keep all the senses alert and the blood
bounding through one's volts in suoh tor
rents ns to preclude nil thoughts ot frigidity
or discomfort.
ntnrrcd the Occasion.
One drawback to the situation was that
both colleges met dimming tlio same colors-
old gold milking it nn Impossibility , so far
na the crowd wont , to distinguish friend
from foo. Again , It is but just to chronicle
that tlio arrangements made for the emno
vesterdny , lot the blame full on whomsoever
it may , were about the shabbiest and most
inadequate that could possibly bo conceived.
Even the lines of demarkatlon were only
dimly slathered over tboscro and yellow
turf , nnd up to ten minutes before thu game
was culled the goals bad not been established
nor the poles up. Again , there were no pro
visions made fur keeping back the crowd ,
nnd as a result ubout half the gcmo was a
veritable scramble between the crowd nnd
the players to determine who should have
possession of the gi-ounds. Of course this
wns n big hindrance to anything liku bril
liant , work nnd a disappointment to that portion
tion of the throng who were forced to main
tain their positions In the rear ot the striv
ing masses. If it uos impossible to scctiro
su(11 ( clout police protection $10 worth of
clothesline would huvo been umplo to have
preserved the players' territory free from
obstruction nnd Interference.
But as to the story of the gamo.
Too . 'Inch Beef.
It was simply n case of being out-clnssod ,
tbo big , strapping , athletic lownns speedily
( lomonstr.uing their supremacy In nil tlio de
tails that go toward furnishing a close and
stubborn contest , and It required no export
In tlio intricacies of the play to sco why the
old void ot Iowa City Haunted proudly and
triumphantly in tbo autumnal breezes ,
while the old gold of Lincoln was trailed and
bedrnbbled in tbo dust. Tito Nobruskuns
were overmatched and outplayed from the
ilrst shriek of Hefcreo Uuvo Holbrook's
whistle until the melee reached a termina
tion In the gathering shades of eventide.
By all odds the bolter team carried oft the
laurels , but in asserting this no disparage
ment Is meant to the doughty Nebraska
boys , for they made a heroic struggle , and
hud they not bcon so inestimably on tbo
upper side of the scales , would certainly
liavo pulled out n victory. In a thorough
knowledge of tha game , and in finesse ,
craftiness and agility , they were the superi
ors of their antagonists , and only lowered
their colors ns an acknowledgment to over
whelming brute force. So It v\llt bo seen ,
notwithstanding their signal discomfiture ,
the Nebraska cloven bus nothing to bo
ashamed of.
In Flippln , the colored hillf back , the Lin
coln brigade has a playorof whom nny eleven
may bo proud. A man ot herculean mould ,
with muscles trained to thu hardness of iron ,
n level head nnd n pair of legs on him that
nro ns capable of covering urouud witti n
speed that might ba likened unto the No-
brusua winds when out for n llttlo blow over
the measureless pralrio. But it Is not to
Fllpplu ulono to wham ull tbo credit belongs
for tlio st.ibborn resistance Nebraska made ,
for ho had In Captain Johnston , White ,
Pace and Anderson assistants that could not
Imvo been dispensed with , and .loi.es and
Stockton were frequently tbo right men in
the right placo.
'For the lown cloven well It might bo
Invidious to v/nrticularizo so far as they are
concerned , as all are nervy , brainy , bustling ,
luibtllng players , Klllott. Sanford , Builoy ,
Larrabce and Ciormnn probably excelling.
For excellent nnd effective work Johitut tbo
line , Larrabco took the laurels , his rustling
nnd tackling being superb , but in punting ho
wns no butter than White of the Nubrnskas.
The poor blocking olT of the latter team
mudo It out of the question for the bucks to
pain any vantage , while on the other hand
Iowa was a tower of strength hero. Yet
they did not attempt to secure victory by
tlio new end play , relying almost solely upon
thu wedge. They were not slow In recogniz
ing lhat this was the easiest uvunuo to suc
cess , nnd they wonted It for nil It was
worth , Consequently there was but llttlo
kicking In thu game.
Hut hero is the way In which the day was
won and lost :
Into Nulirnska'ri Torrlto-y ,
Thu battto opened with Iowa In possession
othu ball , thu team opening with thu old
wcdjjo scheme In which Full Buck Lnrrnbco
mudu a gain of three yards , und thereafter
the lowans forced the ball , by repeated exe
cutions of this trick , clear up to Nebraska's
ton-yard lino. At this point the bull wus
lost to the Lincoln boys on the fourth down.
Two herculean efforts to gain ground
through thu center failed , but on the third
Cuptaln Johnston made a run around the
right end , gaining full thirty yards ,
This brilliant achievement unlisted n
salvo of cheers from the partisans
of thu Nebraska crowd , In this play , which
was ns brilliant ns any made In thu giuue ,
Skllcti , thu right end , cleared the Way and
warded off In beautiful stylo. Johnston then
attempted to send the full back around the
right end , but ho was Intercepted and
downed bv the sturdy Klllott.
Tlio Lincoln contltujont was unable tomnko
further progress and on the fourth down the
bull again ravortcd to the Iowa City giants.
'Ilioy quickly lokt It again , however , for all
lueir uttimpts to pusJi toward Nebraska's
coal failed. The tatter's efforts were also
futile , and Iowa aualn capturing tbo sphere ,
] iy Irresistible rushing ana repetitions of tbo
old V fake , loft balf back scored a touch
down , irlviiiK Iowa the Ilrst four points ,
From this Larrabce , by an unerring klcK ,
scored n goal ,
Score : Iowa , U ; Nebraska , 0.
When \Vliitu Wan Hurt.
The ball was speedily returned to play ,
Nebraska , by dint of tremendous .struggling ,
gaining 11 vo'yards , principally through the
flcutness nnd good generalship of Full Back
White. Then they surrendered the ball to
lown , who mndo considerable trains by short
runs through the center nnd the wedge , their
most invulnerable mode of aggression. Cap
tain Johnston , by his heroic assault on big
Klliolt , prevented dire disaster , it was n
great tackle. Wnlte , In an effort to emulate
the captain , wont down with a trud that
made tilings vibrato. Ho was severely in
jured and pnvo way to Substitute Moshor.
The Iowa Brodignagians kept rlcht ahead ,
though , and quickly forced the b.ill over the
line , scoring another touch down , thus in
creasing their load to 10. Larrabco essayed
n goat but failed.
Score : Iowa , 10 ; Nebraska , 0.
lOiiHy lor Iowa Now.
Good team wont on the port of Iowa , and
just the reverse on the part of Nebraska , from
this on until ttio close oC tno first half ,
iniido mutters assume the features of a pic
nic for the bivmny prohibition athletes.
Nebraska's rush line was lamentably
weak , and Its attempts at blocntng off
were simply unavailing. In this respect
Iowa "beet" told wofuliy , nnd when once
they formed that resistless V n gain wns an
absolute certainty. Flippln , the colored loft
balf back of the Nebraska team , assumed a
vast amount of tbo heavy work for his side ,
nnd some of his rushes were ot Unit
character that never falls to evoke the
plaudits ot an enthusiastic crowd. Ho
not only played ball with hands
and feet , buo kept his bead all the
time , and in several tight corners , used it to
admirable advantage. Finally the Lincoln
team rcnlixod that there was but precious
little hope for It , through the center or
around tbo ends , nnd In consequence the
ngilo Moshor took to kicking the ball. Ills
first essay in this line was a brilliant punt
over tho" opposing force's heads for fully
fortv yards. Hero Elliott , Pieivo nnd Sanford -
ford captured ground for lown by terrific
rushes plump down the center. Nebraska's
line was enervated h > this tremendous
strain , and unequal to the task of staying
their advance. Again and nsaln the lowans
used the wedco , and finally succeeded In
reaching Nebraska's ton-yard lino. Hero
Larrabco , by irraeo of Plorco's magnificent
blocking , scored another touch down.
Score : Iowa , 11 ; Nebraska , 0.
No points were made after this in the first
halt , the referee calling tlmo n few moments
subsequent to this play , leaving the Lincoln
lads , bowever , possessors of the bull.
In the Seeond Half.
After the regulation ten minutes rest , the
field wns again partially cleared and the bat
tle , rosunibd.
Tlio Nebmskans started off encouragingly
by reason of several thrilling and successful
rims bv Flippm , the copper-colored half
back , bis progress , however , being substan
tially abetted by Quarter Back Pace , Full
Bucit Mosher and the ubiquitous Johnston.
In ono of thoao dashes ho- was plucliily
tackled by Larrabco and Bailey , end put on
his back and pinned there. Hu held the ball ,
though , and was loudly cheered. In the fol
lowing play , through a miserable fumble by
Mosher , lo'wa took tbo ball. On four downs
Nebraska again got possession , but despite
their tremendous htrnirglcs they were unable
to olTsut any of the vantage pained by their
muscular adversaries.
AVsis opelcsB for Ne1)riHlci. :
This was on account of a very noticeable
weakness in Nebraska's blockinir off , her
rush line being vncillatory and at many
points at , sen. Like White , Full Back Mosher
punted , making a flno stride of over twont-
liv > yards. Fcrrin cautiht the ball , but wns
thrown before ho could recover himself nnd
got awny. Hero again the lowans resorted
to their favorite fake , the V , lilliott making
a big train of ten yards in tlio outset , Gor
man and Pierce assisting him finely. Ttion
mrrabco and Pierce followed with decisive
gains , their comrades in their assistance
evincing splendid uniformity of purpose nnd
execution. Left End Bailey and Hight
Tackle Sanford malted Hi" ball close upon
llio live-yard line , German a moment later
achieving n touch down. No goal.
Score : Iowa , IS ; Nebraska , 0.
It required but a short time utter this for
Iowa to run her total points up to 22 , By
tbo longest run of Ibo game the ex-governor's
son carried the ball clear to the live-yard line ,
Cicrmun succeeding Immediately theroupor ;
with another touch down.

MOUNT VKUXOJC , Ind. , Nov. 2t5. This is
ono of these dark , gloomy days which nro so
common along the river nt this season of the
year. At daybreak It was r.ilntug , but nlong
In the forenoon thu clouds lightened up and
ttiero was no moro rain ,
At 9 o'clock promptly the remains of Gov-
erno" Hovoy were moved to tbo corridor of
tbo court , house. The bulls of the city began
tolling ns the coflln was carried out of the
Hnvoy homestead nnd continued to sound
during the entire forenoon , The pall baarors ,
representing Harrow post , were William
Burnett , Christian Urcen , Knoch Uandolph ,
Leroy Jones , Dr. Huston and Frank Dixon.
The remains rested in tbo court house until
11 : : iO o'clock nnd It is estimated that during
that time 10,000 persons passed by the re
mains.
Upon the body being taken back to the
homestead the military guard was with
drawn nnd the dead governor was loft alone
with the family for one hour. During that
time no ono was admitted to the bouse.
Atl20 : ! ! the bouse was opened for the
uncrul services. Tlio casket rested In ttio
south front parlor and around it were
gathered the relatives and near friends of
deceased , the clergy nnd most prominent
men attending the fiinornl. The services
were simple. After the singing of n hymn ,
by o choir selected from the Alt. Vernon
ftiurche * , Hov. Dodge , of the Mt. Vcrnon
Methodist Episcopal church , offered prayer.
The sermon was then preached by CJovornor
Ira J. Chase , wuo talked for twenty-llvo
minutes.
The services nosed with sinclng and

How the Great Battle
*
Was Won.
MANIUTTAX Fini.t ) , New YOIIK Nov. 20.
The greatest uthlet.ic event of the year is
over. Yale and Princeton have fought their
baltlo for supremacy on the foot ball field ,
and lone will It bo remembered by the
thousands who saw ono of the finest games
over played in this country. For weeks the
generals of the two llttlo armies of men were
drilling their forces for today's work , i'ho
struggle wits ono of the events in tbo sporting
world which the lovers of sport have
faith In.
It was n fight on its inontB , the better team
won , and the better uho lost will pay over
his cnsh knowing that ho had an honest run
for his money.
The gates were not opened until 10 o'clock
but by that time great throngs of persona
had gathered about the different entrances
When the gates were opened there wns n
rush that would have done credit , to the
members of dither eleven. By It o'clock a
great throng had gathered In the grounds
and every moment It was augmented by
fresh arrivals. Tally-hos and all manner of
vehicles began to arrive at that hour.
Tally-hos crowded with shouting students
were to bo scon on every thorough faro leadIng -
Ing to the grounds. These were draped In
blue and draped in orange and black , but
whichever color it was the noise was just the
same.
Tliolr I.UIIKS All KiRlit.
Many were the ways In which the students
chose to show their ptoforcnce. As waste
to bo expected the free stands llllod
up first. From every row of
scats fluttered orange and black Hups and
blue Hags. It was difficult to toll which
color was tlio most prevalent. Tlio wearing
of a llowor appeared to bo the mode 01 ex
pressing a preference on the part of ttio
women who were present. And the women
formed no inconsiderable portion of the im
mense throng. Some , so there would bo no
mistake as to how their sympathies wont ,
were blue costumes while others , and par
ticularly a bevy of handsome brunettes , were
striking costumes of orange and black.
By noon the grand stand began to fill up.
The lirst person to take a seat in that portion
tion was a handsome young woman who
were an Immense yellow chrysanthemum.
She occupied a seat in front and when tbo
Princeton boys saw her they howled aloud
and for a long time.
Tbo managers had prided thomselvcs'on
ono thing which they were disappointed in
afterward. They bad said that the grounds
shod wutor like sand. This was far from
being true. Tbo rain of last Monday in the
Hold left moro marks than could oe covered
up by the llttlo sawdust on bund. More
than this , the game of yesterday between
Wesloyau and University of Pennsyl
vania hud loft the turf In a badly cut up con
dition , which the rain that fell early in the
afternoon did not help in the least.
At 1 o'clocic n steady stream of humanity
flowed in upon the stand. Pretty much
all the other uvnilublo space had been
taken by * that timo. The Yale Hug was
hoisted on the northern end of
the grounds , whore there were much
hurrahing and blowing of horns. It was
repeated when a tijror skin representing
Princeton was hung out in front of the upper
balcony of tbo main stand. Up to that time
thnro wns n preponderance of Princeton
colors about the grounds , but tbo adherents
ot Yale kept coming in at the gates in whole
droves and the stand soon became a moving
muss of blue.
Nothing hut Molac.
Yale nnd Princeton were not the only colleges -
legos doing the yelling. There were doleca-
tions from every ether colleuo within u radius
of ! IOO miles from Now York , nnd they all
cheered lor one sldo or tbo other on the
slightest provocation. University of Penn-
sylvunia , Wcsleyan , Trinity , Columbia and a
small bunch of Harvard men cheered for
Yule , and among Princeton's backers were
Rulers , Swartnmoro and a number of Penn
sylvania collages. It did really seem as if
the crowd would yell Itself out before the
game begun. There was not a still moment
from 11 o'clock to 12 o'clock.
At 1 : 'M every available space about the
flold wns occiiplod. Every seat on the
different stands was occupied. On tbo long
line of tally-hos stood students waving the
different colors and blowing long and par
ticularly villainous sounding horns. The
collopo cries nnd college songs arose on every
side. The rain had ceased entirely before
this tlmn and every nno was happy. It wns
estimated that there were about ISO,000
persons on the grounds fifteen minutes before
the hour set for the game to begin. But
moro Kept arriving constantly , not by dozens
or scores but by hundreds. Fully 37,000
persons were in attendance before the game
was called. It was estimated that the sum
paid for admission to sco the CUIUQ would
reach $50,000.
Up From thu Stnl > len.
At last , after the crowd bad waited hours
thu Yale team filed out of the club house ,
Jumped over the fence nnd onto the field. It
was a signal for renewed shouting , but ttio
crowd had yelled so much tint there was
really llttlo difference In the total noise.
McClungwas tlrst , followed by Hartwclt
nnd the others , and u'.l had their sweaters on.
They hud scarcely got to the middle of the
Held and tossed tlio ball around for a monuto ,
when "Stumpy" King vaulted over the
fence and led the b'ueH ' nnd orange striped
ycung men Into the arena. Princeton made
more noise than Ynlu on this occasion , and
did not grow tired so soon. With the largo
number of substitutes , there were about fifty
men on tlio Held.
HcKlnnlni ; ol' the II ttle.
There was a sudden wild deluge of shouts
and blowing of horns and waving of flags
.vlien thu two tennis were seen to erystalizo
out of the scattered lot of players , and line
up In thu middle of tnu big L-ridlror. . Then ,
as oacli man bunt forward with his hands on
his Knees and gazed bard ut bis opposite , tbo
noise as suddenly stopped , and every ono of
these moro than 117,000 wild men and women
was as stilt us n statue , and every ono of
these eyes was focnssed on ono little spot
where the bull was. The great struggle that
had been written about and tulked about and
dioamt about so much for a year was to
begin. Tnero were the men who stared each
other hard in the eye and waited tor the first
plunge.
Princeton won the ton and chose the west
sldo of the field. Sy minus , the giant center
rush of the Princetons , hud the ball , and us
the piovera drew up on either sldo of tlio mi-
uulnary line ha snapped back the ball to *
King , the star quarter back. Quick ns
"V" formed nnd
llgbtulng the famous was ,
King recorded for his side eight hard fought
yards.
Symincs surprised the great San ford , the
center of the Yules , by lilt inagnttlcont Intur-
furence with the ball In play. Again Symines
shoots tlio .spheroid bacK and tins tlmo Flint ,
the loft half back , makes n dash only to lose
live yards when downed by Uio great HofTol-
linger. Flint's little gain of three yards Is
forgotten when Full Back Homuns gave
the Ilrst sl hl ot his ability as a kickorof the
leather bag , which ho sent like a shot for
thirty yard * Into Yale's territory alter King
had passed the ball buck to htm.
Vale GelH the Hull.
Now Yttlo for the first tlmo has the ball ,
which was caught In clover style by McCor-
mlck , the full back of the Yale olovon. The
ball U uow In play , well lo the middle of the
field. It Is snapped back to McClung , Yale's
doughty captain , who , amidst a storm of
Yale's cheers and thu waving of blue Hags ,
makes ono of his famous' runs , wall toward
the left of the Hold , and aided by magnificent
Interference records a gala of fifteen vards.
Hols dually thrown heavily by Vincent , the
rising Princeton star.
Bliss now takes the cue , as the ball again
comes In play , with the tvvo sldc.s lined up
face to face , and In a great spurt makes oldit
vards , but for offsldo play Is allowed but live
yards. Another gain by the sumo player ,
who Is downed by VInoont.
On the two opposing linns the boys face
each other iiguin , and whqn the ball Is passed
swiftly back to Bliss ho punts it high In the
nir Just In tlmo to csciipo the ynrushing
ornngo and black , nnd the lively Homans
catches It forty yards and returns' It to the
sumo spot with a punt tlmt sends It Into the
hands of McCormlck. The Yale man has no
tlmo to breathe , for ho Is downed by Vincent
before ho can move from his trucks. Tbo
first live mlu.uto.3 of play elapses ns the men
line up nt centre with tliujiall In the hands
of the blues.
mg' " Grout Hun.
The second live minutos.opnns with great
applause for Captain Al'Clung , who maitos a
gain of twenty yards with a run around the
left. Ho wns dually tackjod and thrown by
the giant Ulggs. Ctoso fighting followed , on
whioh tliroo downs were counted against the
blues , nnd the excitement of the multitude
wns nt a fever heat , for all the tlmo there
wns such a mingling of ut"ns nnd logs and
bodies of the player.1 ! n ? mudo it impossible to
keep truck of the individual players.
Again the Yale cohorts cheer a thirly-flvo-
yard punt by Bliss , but It was the turn for
the "tigers" when the old reliable Homans
returned the boll twentv-llvo yards into the
hands of Captain A'cClung. At this point
there was a delay of Hvo minutes over tno
discussion of a point in the play and the 11 rat ,
ten minutes had passed.
As the men line up on the far north bound
ary of thu Hold , McCormick gains flltocu
yards , to bo tackled beautifully by Pee , who
was well up toward Princeton's twenty-live-
yard line. Bliss makes a wild rush toward
Princeton's line , out there is no gain.
"Old D < assail" has the ball. Again Homans
makes ono of his famous nicks fcr forty
yards , and his men rush on so swiftly that
the ball is put in play on a down. Ileffoi-
finger could make but four yards in a rush in
Princeton's center , and MeCormicK follows
with a rush for eight more , and tbo ball is
still with the blues.
Scoring Slow Worlc.
The "V" trick falls to work , and MeCor-
mick mulling , Bliss kioks the ball forty
yards , while the Yale men chcor till the
very air is blue. But little Pee catches the
wlnd-Hllod oag in line form , and fifteen mln-
tcon have passed with no points scored by
either side.
As Princeton gets the 4ball and passes It
back to Homans who klcits It nigh toward
the eastern Held , McCormlck stops it on the
bound nt Yulo's forty-rod lino. The twenty
minutes' play ends with a kick out beyond
bounds by Bliss to tha south of the Held.
The next flvo minute * is filled with
active play which gained bought for either
side , until llomnus makes n croat kick of
filty yards , which McCormick drops , and
tbo Yalcs by sticor good luck retain tbo
ball. M'Clunp trains fifteen ynrus by the
aid of grand interference of his mon and Mo-
Cormick's two rushes of twenty yards down
the centre. Twenty-five rninutos have
passed.
With the ball in piny again , Homans works
a clean catch of Bliss' punt of forty yards ,
and after tbo men line lit ) Flint makes a
gain of fifty yards. Then the ball Hies back
to Homans , who , as . sure as fate , kicks it
well back InYale's territory into McCor-
mick's hands , forty > ynrd < . kown the flold.
M'Clung loses on Harold's < .tacklo and Bliss
kicks for twenty yards fyeforo 'the ball is
caught by Pee as the first balf hour goes by.
Ilomung Still Punting.
Again Princeton tries hSr full back's punt
ing powers and she does well , for tbo ball
speeds forty yards away and for the third
time McCormlck muffs thoball , , as tbo orange
and black pounces upon him. A miserable
] umblo of legs and arms men of both siaos
in a scrimmage whore individual play cannot
bo noted makes the thousands frantic with
enthusiasm. As the tanclo is pulled loose , it
is seen that Ynlo has tbo ball , and of this tbo
Yale cheer was tbo signal. Small gains after
the struggle were made by M'Clung and Mc-
Cormlak. Bliss makes n great run to the

Scrimmage nfter ccrimmago follows , and
Higgs of Princeton showsjwhnt a hero ho is
as ho prevents the grout J Heffolllnger from
gaming for Yale by the mighty rush of his
UHK ) pounds. Each scorned impassable to the
other. As tbo forty minutes passes Yale has
tno ball and has gained but llttlo ground.
Twice the Ynlo mon try the Princeton center -

Forty-llvo minutes have passed , while Yale
has made llttlo more than enough to still re

Five Minutes to' Scorn In.
There is now but five minutes moro of the
first half to play Hvo minutes having been
taken up by the delay and lively work must
bo done to scnro before the close of the first
Inning. Princeton trots the ball , but stuns
In by losing it in a fumble. McClung mudo u
desperate ten-yard gain well up toward
Princeton's twonty-dvo-ynnl lino. Bliss ad
vanced tha leather sphorqid still further to

A wild cheer broke forth from the ad

plucky Vincent also gained the ball. As the

Through the air the ball idles for forty-tlvo

Vincent is on his back before tba aal ! is cold.
Time is flying , only two minutes nro lolt ,
every norvu is nt tension , the drizzling ruin
that has fallen twenty minutes is unnoted.
Yule lines up opposlto 'tier foo. The ball
shoots buck to Bliss , who punts well to
Princeton's field. Tho' inning ends with a
live-yard gain for Flint by the use of the
great "V" trick to center ,
Yale Was De.spcr.ite.
In n driving rain nt.1:15 : p. in. the Yule and

on the face of every Ynlo player , and the

It is Yulo's bull , and with n mighty effort

Special to TUB BKK. 1 It may bo dountcd
whether any living man lnu talked as much
and as vigorously , or listened to as nmny Idle
phrases as M. do Glors has boon compelled to
for tlio past fortnight. In Purls the Husslan
minister nnd the French dlplomattats could
not speak pliitnly to each other , because
tlioy had too much to say. In Berlin M. do
Olors and the German officials had to conllno
themselves to commonp'iacos , and why I Because -
cause thoyhnd nothing to say. As you know ,
M. do Giers had n twenty-minuto audi
ence with tbo emperor. The Husslan minister -
tor wore an embroidered uniform and tbo
grand cordon of the Black liuglo. Tbo em
peror received him in n studiously calm mid
indifferent way , and avoided nil ( illusion to
politics. Ho made pollto inquiries about the
envoy's stay at Wiesbaden , and so forth.
Next ho nuked for news of the c/.nr's health ,
and , having talked for a short time about the
Kussian crops , broke oft the nudtonco.
General von Caprivi , the Gorman
chancellor , was rather less reserved
in his subsequent interview with
M. do Giors. Ho said that Germany
and her allies bad peaceful aims ,
an assurance which the Russian envoy an
swered by declaring that Russia aud her
friends were not ono whit loss peaceful.
So the much talkud of visit of M. do
Giers to Berlin ha ? had no visible result.
At most , it lm served as a pretext for much
ominous wagging of heads by diplomatic
wiseacres.
Much grave slBnlllcanco attaches to the
speech of the ompornr to the guards , to
which I referred yesterday. In this year
of grace it is strange to llnd a
sovereign assuring his troops , as
the German emperor did , that it
was perilous for soldiers to have much to do
with civilians , and advising thorn to hold
aloof from them. The emperor also remarked
that his troops might have nuod of their
courage in domestic conflicts. Speeches like
this , of course , help on the cause of socialism.
They show that internal complications may
force the young emperor to go to war. A
struggle begun under such circumstances
would bo to Germany what the war of 1870
was to Franco.

The senate has approved the
first seventy clauses of the general
tariff adopted by the chamber of deputies ,
but despite tbo objections of the minister of
commerco.-tbo senate has refused to sanction
the application of tbo minimum tariff to salt
meats , canned provisions , game and turtle.
The minister pointed out that iho proposed
measures were aimed principally at the
United States , whoso annual ovports of pro
visions represented 500,000,000 francs. Tlio
senators refuse to change their minds. They
stick to their ultra protectionism.
A proposal was also maao by the minister
of agriculture to postpone the debate on tbo
duties on imported flour till June.
It is rumored in theatrical circles that the
Melba scandal will bo compromised by the
intervention of the duo d'Aumale , who Is
willing to pay Mr. Armstrong , the singer's
husband , heavy damages to got tno duo

know the due d'Aumnlo's good nature and
indulgence in such matters think the report
worth crcdenco.
It seems true that thrco Englishmen have
been arrested ns spies at St. Etlcnno , for
trying to securospcclmonsof the now French

on the prisoners it would appear that the
German government has a regularly organ

Land Commissioner Carter John issue
with Secretary Dlalnoovcr tno proposition
to continue the present tiAttonal committee
in onlco nfter the presidential candidate has
bncn chosen. When the national committee.
called on Mr. Blalno tlio other day Mr.
Blalno said that from the prosrmt gathering
of rcprosuntatlvo republicans from all over
the country , they had obtained much In
formation which could bo of great vnluo to
them In conducting the forthcoming national
campaign , lie was reminded that tins com
mittee would have nothing to do with the
conduct of Ibo next campaign.
"That is a great pity , " snld the secretary ,
and ho then went on lo give reasons why it
would bo an excellent policy to clmniro thu
present method and hereafter let every na
tional committee , instead of expiring by lim
itation when thu now candidates wore nomi
nated , continue lo act until after the elec
tion. Having worked toirulhor for
four years. the members of the
committee have much knowlod o of
detail , which Is lacking to n now
committee. Air. Bliiina's suggestion .toomed
to strike the commltteomon very favorably
and it is not impossible that a proposition
will bo made at thu next convention to make
the change , but Lund Commissioner Curler
takes another view. Ho has been sccrotnry
of tbo national congressional committee for
some years and Is , therefore , in a position to
speak advisedly on the subject.
Not 11 I ructloaI Idea.
"Mr. Blaino's Men may bo very good on
the surface , " said he , "but It would network
work in practice. The national committco
ought to bo eiioson at the sumo time the
presldi-ntiiil candidates nro ctiojon , in order
to bo thoroughly in touch with the candi
dates and their platform. A committco
which holds over muy have nflllmtlon with
some particular candidate who Is not thu
choice of the national convention , and in that
case the candidate fails to secure tlio legal
support which a committee chosen with spe
cial respect to his nomination would givo.
Furthermore , there Is 11 popular error as to
tlio amount , of work which a national com
mittee does H is not the working body of
tbo presidential campaign , for the executive
committee does all tbo hard work. Mr. Blaino's
idea could not bo carried out , therefore ,
by continuing this executive committco in
ofllce , for it may bo made up of men entirely
outside of tbo national committee.
"Mr. Dudley , for instance , who was troas.
urer of the executive committee which did
the hard work of the Harrison campaign ,
was not a member of the national committee
but was chosen because of his special lltnoss
forthowonc. So also Mr. Biirbour , the
present treasurer. Is not a member of the na
tional commutes. "
Tlio suggestion of Mr. Blatno Is not likely
to bo curried out if the politicians accept
Mr. Carter's theory.
I'r. Hidcnt Hi'.rrlHon'H Success.
"If I were Mr. Blaine I would not accept n
presidential nomination if it were tendered
to mo by nuoliimatlon and I were siuro of election
tion , " said ox-Sonator Palmer of Michigan
this morning after an allusion to the World's
fair commission , of which ho is president.
"In the first plncu , " continued tlio ox-son-
ator , "Mr. Blalno has got nil the credit out
of national politics ho could got under any
circumstances , It would not. add to his
laurels to DO president and in his present
ofllce bo can got ns much credit ami satisfac
tion as ho could if in the presidential chair
and nt the sumo time ho may have all the
pleasures mid none of the responsibilities.
"President Harrison's administration , "
continued the ox-senator , "is n great HUCCOSS.
it is republican In the most vigorous and
nuinly form. U'o have never had a man in
