The Score 10 to O-The Game Hotly
Contested from Start to Finish—The
Big- Crowd of Spectators Full of En
thusiasm—The Team Work of the
Virginians Far Superior to that of
the North Carolinians.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 30.—This after
noon, at Island Park, the University of
Virginia, for the fourth time in five years,
won the foot ball championship of the
south.
The University of North Carolina, who
last year threatened the athletic suprem
acy of Virginia, were the vanquished, and
they went under with the desperation of
dying men.
Every inch of ground made by either
team was hotly contested, ana for the
first half it was anybody’s game.
There was present by far the largest
crowd ever jammed into Island park, and
among them were almost the whole of
Richmond society. Such enthusiasm was
never seen before. Every gain was made
to the accompaniment of college yells, the
blasts of many horns and the singing of
college songs.
The grounds upon which the game took
place are poorly adapted to foot ball.
There is a most decided slope, and in one
portion the grass was so long that it
caused several fumbles. In size they
were wholly inadequate to accommodate
the crowd of 3,500 people, aud time and
again the game had to be stopped while
the field was being cleared.

HARVARD WINS
The Score 26 to 4 in Favor of the
Wearers of the Crimson.
Boston, Mass, Nov. 30.—The eleven of
the University of Pennsylvania was given
a royal welcome on its reappearance on
Jarvis field to-day after an absence of
four years. The reputation which she
had gained by her strong stand against
Yale a fortnight ago had in
creased greatly the interest with
which the team was awaited. Harvard's
defeat of Saturday served also to add to
the interest. These two games seemed
to indicate the closest of contests. The
result completely overthrew all calcu
lations. In the fortnight since the
Yale game. Pennsylvania has gone
backward. Fora single five minutes her
play was equal and even more effective
than that shown in New York. The
opening play gained a full 40 yards. But
this spurt was not kept up, and when
time was called on the first half, the
score stood Harvard 20; Pennsylvania 4.
In the opening play of second half,
Harvard gained 15 yards, and Brewer
went around the right end for 20 yards.
A series of short gains was ended by a
touch down by Wrighington, from which
goal was kicked. Score, Harvard 20;
Pennsylvana 4.
This ended the scoring for the game.
From now on the game was more
evenly contested, the bail going from one
side to the other on either a kick,
or on four downs. It was at this
time that Brooke made the star
kick of the game, his opponents
being all about him. Much time
had Been lost during the game, and dark
ness settled in. obscuring the final plays.
Time was called with the ball on Penn
sylvania's 30-vard line.

ST. ALBANS WINS AT ATLANTA.
The Technological School Eleven
Beaten by a Score of 0 to O.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 30. St. Albans,
after a desperate struggle, that was never
before equalled on the grid iron in Geor
gia, defeated the Technological School's
eleven to-day by a score of 0 to 0.
While it is true that the game was won
on a fluke, it was nevertheless fairly
gained. The Techs won the toss anil
played the Princeton. The ball was
fumbled, and Whitney, a Tech, fell upou
it with a loss of five yards.
Very little end running was indulged
in. but some fierce center bucking and
tackle breaking were displayed.
During the entire first half the playing
was not within 20 yards of either goal un
til the last few minutes, when Biggs, of
the St. Albans, punting, and Haskell
catching, the ball was downed on the
Techs 10-yard line. End of first half.
Little punting was indulged in. St. Al
bans doing the most kicking on the fourth
down.
Second Half—Biggs punted to the
Techs' half back: Whitney, who attempt
ed to run, stumbled and was tackled,
losing the ball. Biggs catching up on the
run and with F. Spain and Adams inter
fering, made a touch down. Symmes
kicked a goal.
The playing became fast and furious.
Time was called witli the ball on St. Al
bans 25-yard line.
There was only one foul tackle, that
being for St. Albans.
Biggs, McGuire and Kimball were
slightly hurt.
Referee: Banks, of Lehigh; Umpire:
Colwell, of Cornell.
MOBILE WINS AT PENSACOLA.
The Vanquished Team to Contest the
Game on a Technicality.
Mobile, Ala., Nov. 30.—The Mobilo
eleven defeated the Pensacola eleven in
a game of foot ball here to-day by a score
of 10 to 8.
Capt. French, of the Pensacola team,
will contest the game, claiming that the
last touch down made by the Mobile team
was not in accordance with foot ball
rules.
The game was umpired by Paymaster
Wilcox, of the United States army, of
Fort Barrancas, Fla.
Much interest is attached to the game,
as it is the first game of foot ball which
lias been played in this city. The game
was hotly contested, and both teams
showed fine form. Several hundred peo
ple were in attendance.
VANDERBILT VICTORIOUS.
The University of the South Defeated
at Nashville.
Nashville. Tenn., Nov. 30. The greatest
foot ball contest the south ever saw
was that in which Vanderbilt University
of this city, to-day defeated the University
of the South, of Siuvanee, on the Vander
bilt campus. Tlte score was 10 to nothing.
This was the deciding game of the year,
and the winner is, therefore, the collegi
ate champion of the central south. When
the teams appeared on the field to-day
they had each won three games. Neither
side scored in tile first half, and the hall
was never more than 30 yards from the
center. In the second half Vanderbilt
appeared much fresher than Suwanee,
and scored two touchdowns and a goal.
WON UNDER A YALE MAN’S LEAD
A New Orleans Eleven Beats the Uni
veroity of Mississippi-
New Orlcnns. La., Nov. 30. —The South

latter also had an unbeaten record, but
were outplayed by the local athletics and
the Southerns won by a score of 24 to 0.
Bluefield Beats Roanoke.
Roanoke. Va., Nov. 30.—After unde
cided contests for the past two years be
tween the Roanoke and Bluefield foot ball

Center , Impenetrable The Game
Opened By a Pretty Run For 20
Yardß By a Princeton Half Back.
The Game Witnessed By 30,000
Spectators.
New York, Nov. 30.—The day was a
perfect one for foot ball, and the field
was so arranged that neither wind nor sun
favored either team. Much, therefore,
was expected in the line of brilliant play
ing on both sides. In this the crowd was
not disappointed. Never was such a game
of foot ball played in the history of the
sport, for dash of movement, exquisite in
terference, masterful judgment and
dogged persistence. Yale was beaten at
her own game to-day. Much of the in
terference that was so effectively used
against her was first used by her, and
has this year been adopted and improved
upon by Princeton. Yale is no longer the
master of team play on the foot ball field,
for she was outclassed in this art by her
opponents to-day.
PRINCETON’S STONE WALL.
Though the Jersey backs showed re
markable agility in dashing through
openings and in worming their way along
under the very nose of the tackles, fully
three yards frequently, the credit of
Princeton's brilliant play must not all go
to them, for the work of the resistless
five, though unseen by the crowd, made
such breaches in their opponent’s ranks
that it only needed a quick dash by. the
backs and five yards was gained, and
showed clearly that the Princeton center
cannot be matched in the field to-day.
Though Yale's backs hit the line well,
their gains were small, for Princeton was
impenetrable.
bvtterworth's RUCKING.
Butterworth was the only man who
could advance any appreciable gain. He
was worked hard ana liis bucking, added
to his punting, easily put him at the very
top. His punts ou the whole was not as
brilliant as was expected. A few were
phenomenal, but many others were weak
aud showed the effects of excitement.
The result was that Blake punted for
more cards on the whole than lie. Blake
was easily outclassed in bucking the line,
however, and was not given the ball for a
single run around the ends. Blake won
fame to-day by his coolness. Wheeler
outclassed Hickok at guard, and is there
fore now the recognized king of the field
in his position. King. Ward and Morse
also proved their right to a place in the
front rank as backs.
THE BOYs WHO DID THE TELLING.
In the south side grand stands there
were two sections devoted to the under
graduates of the contending colleges.
Yale filled her section, of course, and
there was a liberal Yale overflow scat
tered about in the different stands, but
numerous as they were, the friends of the
tigers outnumbered them. Princeton
was the popular favorite, but not over
whelmingly so. The Columbia boys, who
were numerous, were cheering for Prince
ton, and as they wore not only numerous,
but noisy and übiquitous, they made a
big showing of partisanship for the black
and yellow.
VIEWED FROM TIIF. HTGHTS.
Upon the steep bluffs which mark the
beginning of Washington Hights to the
west of the field, there were between
10,OIK) and 12,000 spectators. These were
not admitted free. The owners of
that ground had spent a few
hundred dollars in fencing it
in and charged 50 cents admission.
This thrifty enterprise netted him about
*5,000. The iron viaduct which runs
along 155th street from Washington
heights to the Harlem river was black
with people. Altogether, it is a reason
able estimate to say that 50,000 people
viewed the game.
TIIE TEAMS LATE IN ARRIVING.
Those fifty thousand were all very im
patient when 2 o'clock came and no team
appeared. This was because the special
car which the elevated road was to have
ou hand for Yule at Fifty-ninth street was
delayed. The impatience begot a tension
which finally stopped all the noise, and
just before the teams appeared the vast
fields and the overlooking liights and
viaduct had become strangely quiet when
one thought of the excitement pent np
there. The excitement and pent-up
forces were turned loose in the usual
way when a wildly agitated young man
clinging to the top of an electric light
pole, over near the dressing rooms,
startled tho stillness with a shriek'
“They are coming.” They came. Then
for five minutes there was a wild tumult
of horns and rattles, punctured by the
far-conveying blast of a trumpet sound,
which gave a martial call.
THE ELEVENS ON THE FIELD.
The twenty-two shock-headed young
sters ran out on the gridiron and began
cavorting on the grounds, as porpoises in
the sea, and the cheers were deafening.
The poachers, doctors and attendants
spread themselves out on blankets along
the north side-lines: tho captains were
called up by the umpire for a serious
word of warning against rough play, and
at last play was called at 2:15 o'clock.

PRINCETON HAS THE BALL.
Princeton lias the ball and defended the
east goal. As the teams lined tip there
were cheers for individual players and
some general cheering, but, as the piayers
broached for the first shock of battle, the
great crowd again became absolutely
quiet. Princeton forced the ball into
Yale territory, and. for a time, all the
jubilation was by the wearers of chrysan
themums. They became hysterical
when Ward, the New Jersey left half
back, made a run of 20 yards, but were
subdued soon after when five Yale men
went back apparently for a flying wedge,
but the ball was passed instead. Butter
worth, who made an unexpected kick,
which landed the bail nearer to the
Princeton goal than it ever was again
during the first half.
HINKEY HURT.
Blake caught tlte ball and started to
run. when he was tackled by Hinkey,
then playing left end. and both men went
down hard. Blake, got up. but Hinkey
did not. He was insensible, and was
bleeding from a cut on his right onr. He
was taken off the field protesting in a
dazed manner, and it was supposed that
he was out of the game. The substitutes
ran on the field,and the blanketed play
ers. who roamed slowly about, looked like.
Indians, while every one waited anxiously
for news of Hinkey. That in
trepid and silent young man reappeared
after his injuries were bathed and
b andaged and played out the game, look-
I ing gory, but game. Then Princeton
tried the flying wedge, which resulted in
a gain, but Lea came out of t lie scrim
mage with a hurt head, which caused
another delay. After repairs wore made
things began moving in away that moved
the Princeton partisans to a frenzy,
which, the cranks proudly claim, has
never been equalled at any foot ball game
played in New York. Princeton began a
dogged series of rushes against Yale's
center, with gains resulting from every
rush. and it was fast and terrific work,
and Yale, for the first time, tried to keep
her line intact.
NEARING TALE’S GOAL.
The New Jersey blood was boiling
when a scries of straight rushes had cat
apulted the halt down to Vale's ten-yard
line. Princeton men and Princeton
women were on their feet in every stand
cheering madly when, with the ball just
on the ten yurd and in Princeton's hands,
her big men went back to try again for a
gain by the flying wedge. Yale braced
with muscles set and teeth clinched. The
wedge came thundering ngairist them,
their line quivered, broke, there was a
plunge forward, the twenty-two men
struggled and fell. but down on
the five-yard line, his lilonde head
covering the ball, was little King, Prince
ton's quarter back. Yale was dazed;
Princeton was frantic. Her substitutes
fought the police in their efforts to rush
to their players, and then suddenly, when
the men lined up again, that silence that
was most impressive again showed the
degree of excitement to which the specta
tors were wrought. There was another
flying wedge, and the struggling mass
fell. The cry on all sides rose, “Is it
over!”
CARRIED OVER THE LINE.
The ball had been advanced only a yard.
Every one felt that at the next effort the
ball would go over if it had to be pushed
througli a stone wall. The effoit was not
made by the flying wedge, but by one of
Princeton's plunges at the line. The
mass of players, when they fell in the
scrimmage, extended! over both sides of
the line, and it was not known until the
men were slowly untangled, that
Ward held the ball on safe terri
tory, and a touch down was recorded
against Yale. Then the New Jer
sey contingent and their friends
throw away every restraint. One girl,
whose bunch of yellow chrysanthemums
was so big she could scarcely look over it,
waved a yellow flag from the front of the
Princeton section in time to the cheers
about her, and pretty soon she had re
peated the famous scene of the Minne
apolis convention. Princeton men from
all parts of the grounds turned and
cheered as she beat time until her escort
had dragged her back into a scut.
KING KICKS ,Jir GOAL. ""
King then kicked the goal, which com
pleted the day’s score, and for several
minutes there was wild panlemoniuin.
Yale, true to her traditions, even at this
discouraging stage of the game, cheered
its team wildly to give them heart. But
cheering could not count against the kind
of foot ball Princeton was playing.
During the rest of that .half and during
all of the second. Princeton played like
demons, but like cool, clear headed
demons, for their success had not rattled
them. Princeton nearly scored in the
second half and kept Yale playing its
best game to prevent an increase iii tlm
score. At the final call of time, the
final wave of Princeton enthusiasm
broke and it swept over theileld, literally
carrying its warriors off their feet. Al
though there was one man disabled from
further play, Thorne of Yale, the game
was not,'noticeably rough, and there was
an entire absence of slugging. To night

000,000, and in tin- year following they
were $07,000,000. The great increase in
population and wealth since then leads
the committee to believe that the tax on
oor|K>rations alone will furnish a consid
erable amount of the revenue needed to
supply the deficit caused by the reduction
in the tariff duties. Chairman Wilson
now believes that $35,000,000 will cover
the decrease in revenues from imports,
caused by the bill just made public. He
has reached this conclusion after a care
ful examination of the new tariff bill.
And this conclusion is shared by Keen*
tnry Carlisle, with whom the chairman
has had repeated conferences.
A tax of 10 cents a pack on playing
cards has been suggested, and will, no
doubt, be adopted, its all the majority
members regard the proposition favora
bly.
The committee have reached no under
standing as yet regarding whisky, but it
is not likely that the tax will be in
creased beyond 10 cents a gallon, with a
fair probability that it may remain un
touched.

SPULLER GIVES UP.
Casimir-Perier Finally Agrees to
Form a New Cabinet.
Haris, Nov. 30. imte this afternoon
M. Spuller informed i'resident Carnot
that he could not form a cabinet. His
efforts were thwarted by the president’s
refusal of M. Hurdeau to enter a cabinet
without M. Cons tans or M. Casimir
-1 ’crier. He retired willingly in favor of
M. Casimir-Perier. who consented this
evening to try to form a ministry.
I'EKIKR'S EXPLANATION.
An official note from M. Casimir-Perier
states thus the oourseof the negotiations:
“M. Spuller. at President Carnot's de
mand. accepted the mission to form a
cabinet. He conferred with M. Raynal
and M Bur,lean, who assured hint of
their support. Upon joint examination of
the situation, however, the eonelttsion
was reached that M. Spoiler should dis
continue his efforts, lie visited Presi
dent Carnot and informed him that M.
Raynal. M. Hurdeau and himself concur
red that At. Casimir-Perier was the
politician who, in the present situation,
was most capable of forming a cabinet.
Consequently President l 'arnot requested
M. Spuller to see M. Casimir-Perier, ex
plain to him the situation and beg him to
go to the Elysee. M. Casimir-Perier
acceded to this wish. President Carnot
appealed anew to his devotion and patriot
ism, ami eventually received his accept
ance of the mission.”
A BARGAIN WITH CARNOT SUSPECTED,
This unexpected turn of affairs has ex
cited a great stir among politicians and
along the boulevards. Everybody is
curious to know what means President
Carnot used to persuade M. Casimir-
Perier to accept the mission despite It is
oft repeated and apparently immutable
refusals. One rumor is that President
Carnot promised to withdraw from the
contest for the presidency noxt year, and
to exert himself to secure the election of
M. Casimir-Perier. Many ascribe M.
Spoiler's failure to the campaign against
hitn as friend of England, and therefore
an opponent of the alliance with Russia.
Probably M. Casimir-Perier will have
his cabinet complete before to-morrow
evening. Meantime it is regarded as cer
tain that M. Hurdeau will be minister of
finance; M. Raynal minister of the inte
rior, and M. Spuller minister of public in
struction The premier is expected to
take for himself the portfolio of foreign
affairs.

Schedules.
Brunswick, Ga , Nov. 30.—There were
no new cases of fever to day', no doaths,
and no discharges.
The refugees are returning fast and the
streets are lively.
To day has been one of unusual thanks*
giving in Brunswick, and everybody gave
thanks, from the humblest citizen to the
highest official, in the churches the con
gregations gathered and joined in the
prayers of thanks of the ministers for de
liverance from the deadly plague that
has been among the people. All are free
now and all rejoice. This afternoon the
brass band paraded the streets with en
livening music that brought out large
crowds.
THF QUARANTINE RAISED.
Surgeon Murray gives Brunswick
double reason for celebrating thanksgiv
ing to-night bv removing the government
quarantine around the city. Any person
can enter Brunswick now'without fear o t
certificate. Surgeon Murray said to
night. “I have removed the quarantine.
Any one can enter Brunswick now with
out a certificate. A surveillance will ba
kept on any outgoing baggage off
household goods. The railroads will
resume their regular schedule in and out
to-morrow. The Mallory line steamships
will resume their schedules immediately.
There have been no new cases of fever
among the refugees lately returned. The
condition of Brunswick warrants the
statement that the city is practically
safe. The outside world may implicitly
trust people from Brunswick now, as far
as yellow fever is concerned, und if tha
people in Brunswick will be rationally
careful they will suffer no danger them
selves. If more cases occur they will ba
treated as sporadic, nnd duo reports will
bo made of them. In every way
good faith will be preserved with tha
outside world. A, Ott, who claims he is
a citizen of the United States and has
refused to allow his bedding to be disin
fected, has been arrested under the law
of the city and has given bond to answer
for trial on the charge of violation of the
sanitary rules. Brunswick will be disin
fected properly, but no damage will be
done to the people's property. You can
say as coining officially from me that tho
epidemic is over as far as the outside
world is concerned, alt hough I think a
few more cases may occur, which need
cause no alarm.”
SURGEON CARTER INTERVIEWED.
Surgeon Carter, assistant to .Surgeon
Murray in controlling the fever in this
section, arrived in Brunswick to-night,
in speaking of the Brunswick fever ho
said: “Before leaving Brunswick last
summer I expressed the opinion that
cases of fever had existed in Brunswick
before the Branham case, anil i am of the
same opinion still. To support this
opinion I have no absolute proof, in fact
it is only a surmise based upon the lack
of fads to prove the origin of yellow fever
in Brunswick and the apparent fact that
other cases of fever occurred independ
ent of the Branham case, immediately
afterwards. The department wants
proof of tlte origin of the fever in Bruns
wick. 1 believe that there were rases
before Branham’s, butorepeat the state
ment that I have no proofs. We want
proofs and we are now looking for them.”
"What about JudgeMershon’sspeech?”
“I have never said anything about
Judge Mcrslion or his speech, but say
now that his attack on Camp Detention
was severe and not warranted. Like
Judge Merslion. we want a state health
board, it will help the government
work, the state, tho people and tho
Country at large.”
Surgeon Carter requested your cor
respondent not to give him much pub
licity, and said that he neither desired or
courtedit. His remarks are given as made,
without elaboration but in plain, em
phatic words.
SURGEON Mt’RRAV TALKS.
In regard to the writing of tho history
of Brunswick's epidemic, Surgeon Mur
ray said: "The statement quoted as
made in Savannah is funny, it is an
enigma. It is beyond m.v power to imag
ine how any umu can write the history of
Brunswick’s epidemic who has never
been near here in Iter troubles.”
in Brunswick Surgeon Carter will
assist Surgeon Murray in fumigating in
fected localities.
The end is near, and before many days
the epidemic will be declared over.
