GOALS FROM FIELD IN GREAT VOGUE nilllrnlt Points Krrrly Scoreil , Imll- riillntr Adriince lit Method * mi I lie ItHntMe StrniKtli tlio Di Some great foot ball Ramos wore played on Saturday. In nearly all Improved playing on tbo port of the victors and tlio losers wen noticeable. Many of the games were so one sided that the scores ran tip toward the half- tin n J red mark , and In a few cases even ex ceeded tlmt point. Tiicro v > cro really no great surprises , though the Phlladclplvlatia arc terribly upset over the strong showing made against their crack cloven by tbo In dians. The featureof Saturday's gumcs that Is most noteworthy and Is most pleasing to the followers ot the game Is the large number of goals from the field that wore kicked. Never before In tlio history of tiic most popular of intercollegiate sports iiave ( hero been so many successful attempts at this trick. 'To drop a goal from the field Is not an cnay task ami the ability to perform It conies only after long and patient practice. The kicker must have plenty of ncrvo and not bo In tbo least bit hurried or frightened by the approaching opponents. Ho must have the hearty support cl' his team In holding back the other play ers , and above all must be accurate. The method of kicking the coveted goal from the Held lias been varied this yoir bji the Intro duction of the place kick and this was tried for the first tlmo In a wcatcrn game on Sat urday at Chicago , when Notre Danio scored a place kick for a goal tram the Hold against Chicago. It was done by Uio joint work of- the right end und Uio fullback. Tao teams wore lined up thirty-live yards away from Chicago's goal , when suddenly Mullen , the light end of Notre IXimc , darted back of the line , took the ball from the quarterback and spread himself down on the Held , placing : lie ball in position for a place kick. Before Lho Chicago men could break through Daly , the fullback , had kicked goal from tuo Mold. Tills manner of turning the trick Is somewhat dlflercnt from that practiced down at Lin coln , where the quarterback runs back from Lho line about tlvo yards and receives the jail directly from the oentor on a long snap- Mck. The quarterback then sets the ball In position for the fullback and the latter has a ; oed chance for a try at gcal from the field , lot being bothered by Laving to drop the iall to the ground and gauge the tlmo to kick t , as was necessary In the former style of dropping goals from the Held. It would seem ttat the placing of the ball in position by the quarterback were the better method , If the center can successfully mike the necessary one bnapback , for tbo reason that less tlmo is given to thc < opponents to break through M Ir.-errupt or block the kick. It takes a speedy end to dash , around , receive the ball , He down and place the ball 'In position , and , noieoxer , his absence from tbo line makes It possible for the opposing pla > ers to come around thai vacant cud In a great big hurry. As long as there arc several good ways , however - over , of performing the s.imo trick it may bo said that the experiment of making a place ; lck In a try for goal from the Held has proved successful. . Goals from the field helped to run up many of the scores on Saturday , notably in the i'enusylvanla-Iudian game , when Hudson , .bo doughty little Indian quarterback , licked two goals from the field in the first , twenty mlnutts of play. Ilaird , the Princu- : ou fullback , made au unusually long goal Irom tbo field , dropping one against the Lafayette team from the forty-live yard line. Charlie Young , Cornell's quarterback , did nearly as well kicking a goal from the field from the forty-yard line. O'Dca , the excel- . lout fullback of Wisconsin , kicked a very dlllleult goal from the Held agalnnt Bololt. It was not the distance , for he was standing on the twenty-yard line , but it was the bard angle at which he was forced to kick that roado this play deserving of especial praise , tn the games of lesser Importance several other goals from the field were also made , showing a general policy upon the part of foot ball coaches this season to train their backs in the art of kicking from the field. Thu Lehlgh-Wllllams game the other day was barely won by a goal from the fleld , 5 to 4 , and several other results have been aided in the same way. All of this Is verj gratifying to those who like to see a greater development of kicking ih the game , and U Is certainly pleasing to the spectators who enthuse almost as much over a pretty goal from the field aa they do over a magnificent long run behind Interference. .Including .tho results of Saturday's games , the following figures show how numerously the big eastern teams have been scoring points thl.i season : Pennsylvania has played twelve games and won them all , scoring 422 points , while the opposing teams have scored fourteen points , ten ot these points having been scored by the Indians' two goals from the field on Saturday. Princeton has played ten games and won them all ; has not yei been scored against , and has registered 340 points against the opposing clevenu. Harvard I1 us played nine games and won them all ; ban scored 193 points to opponents' five polnta. Yale has played nine games , eight won and ono resulting In a tie , the West Point game. Yale has scored 1C4 points 4o opponents' thirty-five points. Cornell has played seven games , won four , Icat two ( Prlncetcn and Harvard ) , and played ono tlo game. Cornell has scored ninety-one points to opponents' thirty-eight points. Drown has won five games and lost three , and has scored 150 points while the opposing teams have scored ninety-two points. In tbo east on Saturday the greatest ex citement was occasioned nt Philadelphia , where the Penrsylvunla-Indhn game re sulted In the score of 20 to 10 in favor of Pennsylvania. Princeton made a much bet ter score against the Indians , 13 to 0. Yale held the Indians down to the score of 24 to 9 , which Is not much different from the re sult at Philadelphia. Indeed , the Quakers may bo said to have made a better showing In that they did not allow the Indians to se cure a touchdown against them. The In dians made a touchdown and a goal from the fleld agalrst Yale and two goals from the field against Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania waa greatly weakened on Saturday by the ab sence of Sammy Boyle , captain and right end , but the Indians were also ehy a man who played against Princeton and Yale. If comparison of scores count for anything , and eomo foot ball men argue they do not , It In dicates that Princeton , Yale and Pennsyl vania are not HO far apart as foot ball men have been Inclined to heretofore believe. The prestige of the Quakers , due largely to the big scores rolled up against weaker teams , has been Injured somewhat by the result of Saturday's game. This lias only Increased the general dralro for games between Penn sylvania and Yale and between Pennsylvania and Princeton , desires which "Yalo policy" and Princeton prejudice will this year keep from being realized. All oyrs are now turned toward the com ing game between Yale and Harvard , It will be played on Saturday afternoon at Cam- brldgo and the Indications are In favor of Harvard. This result would be particularly galling to Yale , since this will bo the first meeting between the crimson and tbo blue on the foot ball field since Yale commanded Harvard to apologize for some harsh com ments made by Harvard coacbca on the brutal playing of Prank Hlnkoy , captain and left end ot the Yale team In 189-1. The apologies were , of course , never made , but the quarrel has been made up and relations resumed , Harvard and Yao ! will therefore struggle with unusual effort to win tbo first game since the trouble between the two occurred. Until Saturday It looked as though the game surely ought to go to Har vard but Yale showed up surprisingly well In the Saturday game against the Chicago Athletic club team , and all previous calcula tions have been upaet. Harvard did not play on Saturday and Is priming Itself for the game. Outside of Now Haven the bulk of collegians want to see Harvard win and there will he a number of colleges repre sented at Cambridge on Saturday by those who want to see Yale lose. Princeton gave a grind exhibition of the game on Saturday to Fit her Cleveland and ODD other npqofttorfl. Iifnycllo was do- fcateJ , 67 to 0 , qnp more- point than Penn sylvania seortM , against the muevvuimtod players from Eautpn , whose bluster hag now pretty well < lliftpprr | < l. Princeton will play i < to ! ono weokfJmpi Saturday , November 20. at Now Haven , and unless something In the nature of n sljihW cqmos Into the N.ISMU camp the JerstfV Tigers will surely win Hie chjmplcnjhlp 6r n * Intercollegiate Foot Hull Association of , Vmrlca , which consists of ex- nelly two tpantt'Princeton ' and Yale. This Institution. It li understood , Is continued In order thnt thj'tRln which loses may have the eatlsfactlon"br taking second place. With teams llko PcilitiylVanlri and Harvard without the fold the cftrrtlnu.trico of such , an a'sccl.i- tlon Is nothing inert of a farce and Is so re garded by collesfiftjis everywhere. Them wore no Riunos In the Western In- tot collegiate association on Saturday. The Nebraska Wcsleyrtn tram went down { o Kan sas City and was largely defeated by the coming medical doctors Kansas City. The Lincoln tcanl scored frirly In the ga'mo , but did not figure very conflplcuoualy after that. .Missouri Is scheduled lo pl-iy at Iowa City next Saturday , but It la doubtful It the game lakes place. The obstacle Is a controversy over a debt of some $350 owed by the Mis souri tcvun of a ycnr ago to the Io\ui team. It Is for the expense of the trip tnado last season by the Iowa toim to Columbia , Mo. , and guaranteed by the Missouri management. The Missouri team offers to playnt Iowa City If the debt Is called offt but tbo lown man- rtKomcnt properly refuses to make the can cellation requested. Whether the lowi-lllssourl game Is or Is not played Is ot mltir consequence , for the struggle for the pennant honors In the West ern association will he between Neraska and Kansas , lloth have unusually strong tcamn and their contest ut Lincoln Is going to bo a gumo worth golnjr " any miles to ace. It Is not generally l.ri .1 'Kt when Kansas ion up fifty-six pols.B nnn.nst Iowa last week but fifteen minutes cf paying was dene In the second half. That statement Is made on the authority of Referee Cornell and glvw color to the report that Kansas Is considerably stronger than generally admitted. It be- liooves Coach Iloblnson to get Uio Nebraska team In the best condition for the contest , for whllo all loyal Nebraskans hope that the best team will win , they ardently wlih that that team may bo the one representing this state. \vntctMij TIM : IIAI.I , IM.AYISHS.

Some of the ibcst features of the life of the late iHonry Ocorgo were emphasized yes terday afternoon at the services held ca a tribute to his memory In the Omaha Labor temple. The exercises were hold under the direction of a committee of the1 Omaha Sin gle Tnxcrs and were attended toy over 200 persons.Vorklngmon constituted the larger part ot the audience. There were a num ber of women present and among the prom inent men there were noticed : Thomas Kll- patrlck , Ucv. John Williams , Uov. John .Mc- Qucild , D. Clem Denver * W. D. Dcckett , Dr. Paabody , George A. Mnitney , Dr. A. H. Hip pie , J. J. Points and Julea Lumbard. Dr. Wheeler acted as chairman and called the meeting to orderHo spoke a few words In tribute to the dead leader and then Introduced Hev. John Williams to speak on "Henry George us a iMan. " Father Wil liams described George an a Christian In his every fibre. The speaker did not inlnco matters In .speaking of the opposition to George nmong the church people of New York , uut said that the 'church ' of God in Now York wea largely controlled by pluto cratic Intluences nnd that the churches of his own denomination , the Protestant Epis copal , were mostly represented by the Van- derbltts , Asters nn.d other 'wealthy ' families. among whom the teachings of George were not popular. "Georgo had been In hot rebel lion against the churches ot Now York be cause of their customs , aa any fair nnd honest man would toe. llut these who were heartily opposed to George alive. Including those of 'wealth and caste , now mourn George dead. iHo lived a life that never bended from Its own high purpose. Ho waa a noble man. 'Ho ' was n martyr , not a martyr of the old days , tout a martyr of a newer type. All we can say now Is : 'Let me dlo the death ot the righteous and may my last daja bo llko his. ' " G120RUE AS A TEACHER. W. D. Hcckett , Esq. , delivered an ad- dieos on "Henry George ns a Teacher. " Among other things he said : "Previous to his death there was not a general recognition of the worth and the greatness of Ilimry George. Now that he Is gene nil the world iccognlzes that Genrge was a great man. A great lover of humanity has left us. His life and his thoughts were great. Tributes to his memory arc now heard on both sides ot fie Atlantic ocean. People now give him credit for having been truthful and sincere , some thing that they did not concede to him ten years ago. Hut thoaimo people who now ail- mlt thnt George wns sincere In his teachings declare that his Ideas are Impracticable. The last thing Henry George would want would bo a tribute to hla own personality without an admission of the truth of his teachings. Ho brought the best knowledge of poverty to the world today. He saw that there was some dark shadow follow Ing the growth of villages Into cities and that was the shadow of poverty. Against this lie spoke out bravely. At first ho was not listened to , but before ho had finished ho compelled the world to hear him. "Whllo paying eloquent tributes to his memory the world will be slow to accept the teachings of Henry George. The world Is not yet up to his teachings , but it will be some day. George not only pointed out tbo evil In the social conditions of the world , but ho provided a remedy for the evil. One who has once seen his truth can never forget It. Ho may blind his eyes to It , but ho can never drjvo It edt of his heart. There were two grqat truths among the teachings of Henry George : First , that the land Is the lieiltagp ot the people of the earth , and the deductions following ; second , by his life he taught that moral truths arc a tremendous power. " SENSE OF LAW AND JUSTICE. George A Maguey spoke of Henry George's vieus cf law. He said that when Henry George's death was announced there was but a fa'nt understanding among the people ple of the world of what George had really taught. "There was a widespread belief among the people who should have known better that George disregarded the law. It Is remarkable how ready people are to con demn what they do not understand. Henry George's theories were new , and ho was not understood. This woo the case with Patrick Henry and Wendell Phillips , when first they lifted their voices for freedom. The latter was hlssod In the very city that later honored him. It Is a fact that George's theories were based upon the law. His teachings can be brought to pass only through the law , and would therefore cer- talrly not seek to oppose them. It was only when George found an unjust law that he opposed It. He taught that laws should bo observed , but that bad laws should bo re pealed. " Dr. A. H. Hlpplo spoke of Henry George's scnso of Justice , and dwelt particularly on the thorough honesty ot his character. Ho said that people all over the world were now paying tribute to the memory of ono whom ho believed to have been a saint. But aa George himself had written so ho believed , that "before a saint must be an honest man , " and It was with special ref erence to this thought that the speaker con sidered the life and works of the departed leader. i J. J. Points was tlio last speaker , and took for his topic , "The Literary Career of Henry George. " Ho called attention to the literary ability of , George as exhibited In his best writings , and supplemented his remarks by readings from a few of George's works. The exercises were pleasantly Interspersed with a bass solo by Jules Lumbard. Ho tang "Over the Stars There Is Rest" In a most effective manner. At the conclusion of the meeting a set of resolutions lamenting the death of Henry George and extending the heartfelt sympathy of those assembled to his family were unanimously adopted. AMUSEMENTS.

Tburaton was naked nt ha ! home last night regarding the slgnlfl- cnco and Immediate pffects of the recent eastern cletslnna. "If you will consider the results In yenra following past presidential elections , " Hild Senator Tl urttor. , "you will nnd thnt the returns of la.u Tuesday compare with thorn niost favorably. The argument of an 'off Joar' is no myth ortln excuse. Always In previous similar Instances have repub lican siiccetaw been followed by temporary defeat , for republican voter * uiiilcr those circumstances liavo shown themselves un duly satisfied and have stayed away from the polls. Wo have lost Ohio tin.lor such eruditions and nlwas Kentucky and Mary * land , ns .1 , inatter of course. On thla occa sion we have easily held our 011 In the popiltlst statra of South Dakota , Nebraska and Kansas. In the cast the republicans I have lost no state which was theirs last j fall except Kentucky and the question of | a doubt In New York. This la actually do ing unprecedented ! ) " well for the sequence of n republican presidential victory. "The election In New York Is a moat un reliable quantity In Us aspect toward na tional Issues As far as the sliver contro versy Is concerned , that Is entirely out of the question. The state democratic conven tion left that Issue entirely out of Its plat form and with A purpwe , Sjuch democratic leaders as David 13. .Hill advocated this ccurso nnd 'thn ' results showed the wisdom of their counsel. It Is nn assured fact. In my ju'gment , that If the Istues of last fall wore referred nt this time to the voters of Now York that the result would bo the same ns then. The George vote waa rather Indicative of the silver strength nnd no In ference favorable 'to ' It can bo drawn from the general result. The republican vote was , ot course , hopelessly divided between Low nnd Tracy and no similar condition would be possible In a national campaign. Low's preatlgo was undoubtedly liirgely re publican and If the Citizens' uhloa had not headed Its 'ticket ' 'wlt'h ' ' a democratic candi date for Judge of the court of appeals the outcome In my opinion would have been moro satisfactory. In forecasting national results frcm the 'New ' York election I am able to see but oile hcipo for the democrats In IflOO. That Is tliait they propose a New- York man. such a ono perhaps as Hill , nnd sub-nit him on a sound money platform. Certainly en the old footing the verdict ot 1SHG will not ibe affected. "In the Ohio legislature a republican strength of seventy-five , n majority of five , Is of course assured on Joint ballot. To my krowledqe 'the ' talk of a republican bolt on Haivia Is all moonshine. ICurtz , who was recently disappointed in his aspirations to bo chairman of the state central committee nnd so has a iposslblo excuse for 'bitterness , voices the opinion of Governor Ilushncll nnd others when he states that the repub lican who falls to support the caucus nom inee iwlll ibe hold as a traitor. In regard to the democratic majority of two in the seii- ate I do not apprehend that It will embar- iass Governor illushuell In making 'his ap pointments. If they are disposed to make him trouble bo will manage well enough with a republican lieutenant governor mid the fusion senator from Cincinnati a doubt ful quantity.

Moorehead , a tooy 1C years old , strayed from the narrow path last night and as a result ho is no.w at the Clarkaon Memorial hospital with n broken jaw. Ho was found In that condition by Sergeant Her at Tenth ani Douglas streets and could give only a very vague account of himself. Ho stated thnt > ho arrived from Dunj'ap , la. , yesterday with a friend named James Loy and that they liad come to visit the latter'a cousin , who Is a bartender In a Sixteenth street hotel. They spent several hours with the Omaha man , so Moorehead rclatw , and finally started for Council 'Bluffs about 8 o'clock. Ho has no idea of the direction taken , but says that within a block they were overtaken by a mar. f who engaged them In conversation. 'Moorehead ' asserta that the stranRor suddenly assaulted him , knocking him down , and that ho then pro ceeded to rob him cf $23. He does not know 'what 'becameof ' his companion , but aajn that he wandered about alone until he met the olllcer. The boy's story presented several weak features and the officers went on a search for Loy , his companion. Ho was finally lo- cy.te-d in Council Dluffs and gave a more sober verst-n of tbe affair. He states tbit ho was walking with Monrohead toward Council Blurts. They had been drinking and Moorebead especially was In an unsteady condition. After crossing the bridge Loy says that they met a gang of men on Broid- way. They accosted Loy und asked him for the prlco ot n can of beer. A hot reply- was given and trouble seemed brewing. Loy concluded that the crowd was too many for him and made a dash Into the darkness , leaving Ills friend , who was incapable ot a sprint , to the mercy of the gang. Loy did not stop till ho reached n haven and to ran- not say what , followed , but says that Moorp- head had only a small amount of money In his possession.

A clew has eomo to light In the casa ot James Nichols , whoso dead body was washed up Thursday night on a Mlssouil river sandbar , that gives to the occurrenro rather a sinister aspect.

Nlrholsan iclcn- tlllud by an inscription In India Ink on ais collar band and by u note In Ills pocket la which his name was mentioned. There was no money found on his person further than a few old coppers and his coat was miss I it ? .

It states that he went to Omaha and that lie Is supposed to have hail considerably money In his possession The Jcsi-ptlon | given ts of a short man nbom 5u years old , a'ttired ' in light brown clothes This was exactly the appearance of the man fo'ind in the river. The correspondent states that Nichols was a colored man and on thlx point it was nearly Impossible to decide In thu case of the body In the river , though such a suspicion was mentioned.
