( the MORNING NETV9. ) . ESTABLISHED lgSu. INCORPORATED ISBB V I J. H. ESTILL, President. f 11l l) HARVARD IN HARD LI'CK Pennsylvania Yuiis tbe Foot Ball Game by a Score o( 18 to 4. Thfl Harvard Eleven in Bad 9hape From Its Game With Yale—Five of Her Best Players Borne From the Field During the Progress of the Game—But for an Oversight by the Umpire She Would Have Been Shut Out. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 29.—Over *1 ulmed, broken, and shattered, but light ing desperately to the last, Harvard went down before Pennsylvania this afternoon, ] a score of 18 to 4. The precious four was wrenched out of the jaws of defeat by des jn-rate p laying and a reckless disregard of ]if, ; or limb by the wearers of the crim son. Harvard was defeated, but no dis j. attached to their overthrow, as they played a magnificent game from start to finish, and the loss of five of their best inrn from injuries weakened thorn when their help was most needed. The Harvard men showed the effects of the terrible struggle they went through at Springfield on Saturday last and in almost every rush, some one of their bruised and battered pi,tvers would remain stretched out help less on the turf. Early in the game Harvard suffered an irreparable loss in the injury and retire ment of Capt. Emmons, and before the game was over, Fairchild, Charlie Brewer, Hallow 11 and Frank Shaw were borne from the field. Pennsylvania made her first punt three minutes before the call of time in the first half, when Gilbert threw Hayes across the line after catching a punt for a safety touch-down. In the second half Pennsyl vania scored three touch-downs, from two of which goals were kicked, making the total score 18. Waters made Harvard's one touch-down about the middle of the second half, but Arthur Brewer failed at the try of goal, and Harvard did not suc ceed in scoring again. But for a palpable oversight on the part of the umpire, Harvard would probably have been shut out. The ball had been punted into Pennsylvania’s territory, and striking on the ground, one of the Harvard ii u rushed and kicked It against Brooke’s body, and it bounded back and a Harvard man fell upon it. The umpire gave the ball to Harvard, though it was clearly an off-side play, and then it was that by a series of fierce plunges through Pennsyl vania's line from the twenty yard line that the crimson carried the ball up and over the goal line of the red and blue. The fine condition of the Pennsylvania players told as the struggle progressed, and from the middle of the first half till the end of the game, with the one excep tion of when Harvard made its touch down, the piay was mostly in the crimson territory. Though Pennsylvania’s play lac ked the fierce rush that overbore Princeton, still, a* the certainty of victory grew brighter, the red and blue played with greater and greater ardor, and toward the close of the game they were sweeping Harvard be fore them almost as the dust is carried before the winds. Though Harvard’s list of casualties was large, it was due only to the hard game that w r as being played and the poor con dition of its men, for in marked contrast to the Springfield game, there was no slugging or brutal playing indulged in by cither team. Only good, hard, clean foot ball was played by both sides, and throughout the game the best of feeling wa > shown by the players on both sides. Pennsylvania to-night is fairly revel ling in the delirium of joy, for through long years of defeat and disaster they have struggled on to victory and they dosed the season of 1894 with an un tarnished record of victories. The Penn sylvania boys claim that they are fairly entitled to the honor of the champion 6hi:> of the college foot ball world, as Tale has refused to meet them, and as th y have defeated Harvard, Tale's great antagonist, by a larger score than the blue- made. Pennsylvania now aw’aits anx i'jusly the result of the game with Prince ton, which Yale plays on Saturday, and if the Tigers should down the New Haven Is Pennsylvania will have a clear title to the championship. *' “ver was there a more perfectly ideal '*!>■ for a foot ball game. The sky was | !'> idless and the air bracing, but mild. The gridiron had been resodded from end *<j end and was as level as a board and as ■ rr n and nearly as hard as an asphalt pavement. A board fence, four feet in h>ght inclosed the grounds, and beyond this again was another fence completely encircling the first one. Back of the °nd fence, rising tier upon tier high into the air. were four stands, enclosing 'he field. Two immense stands on the j ;’h and south ran the length of the b and two smaller ones ran across the ! lon the east and west. The north sta ’ n was Harvard’s and the south Penn sylvania's. All the stands were prettily draped with the colors of both colleges. 'I he gates were throw’n open at noon an 1 a constant stream of people poured through for two hours. The stands ac utnodated 27,000 people, and as the hour 2 o'clock approached 23,000 people were upon them. Every seat had been * but the space that would have ac ' 'fumodated 4,000 more people represented b that had been sold to speculators "bo had expected to reap a harvest of dollars, but were woefully “left.” Capts. 1.* ipe and Emmons met this morning and F ' Ud upon the officials for the game. ! irb* Bliss of Yale was chosen for ref ' ■ *' and Harvard withdrew* their objee * 'n?! to Dr. Paul Dashiel of Eehigh for drnpire.

What ever was said was most effective, for from this time on there was more dash and spirit in the play of the Quakers A few minutes later Fairchild, in catch ing a punt, was downed and badlv hurt. The doctor and rubbers worked with him for some time, but finally decided that he must leave the field. The gritty boy refused to go, and he was dragged off with tears rolling down his face. Dunlap came on In Fairchild s place, but Char lie Brewer went to full back and the last comer took the curly-haired half back's position. The play was now becoming fast and hard, and the strain was now beginning to show on Harvard. Bull, in a scrim mage, hurt his hand, but after having it bandaged up resumed. Charlie Brewer was the next man to be crippled. In a savage tackle with Knlpe he hurl his injured leg, and like Fairchild he was dragged protesting and crying from the field. The curly-haired Hayes came on at full back and Dunlop to half hack In place of Brewer. The advent of Haves Into the game was a costly one for Harvard, for he cost them Just twelve points. Knipe was hurt in bucking the line, but continued play after a few min utes’ intermission. At exactly 3:20 o'clock, an hour and three minutes after play had been begun, the whistle sounded for the call of time for the first half without either side having scored. Play was resumed at 3:39 o'clock. Har vard now had the east goal and the sun in its eyes. Waters kicked off. and five minutes later Wagonhurst had the ball behind th" goal posts for a touch-down. Brooke kicked the goal, and the score was 8 to 0 against Harvard. The adherents of Pennsylvania never ceased from this time forward, except when Harvard made a touch-dqwn, to cheer and sing songs indicative of their joy. Pennsylvania was now playing fast and furiously, and in a mass play on the tackle Hallowed's unfortunate nose came In for another bang. Hallowell was stretched out by the blow and again he was helped to his feet, he reeled and staggered off the field, gesticulating and throwing his arms wildly about. He was laid down on the ground, beside the other cripples, but before long he became de lirious and was carried into the dressing room at the corner of the field. As defeat and added disgrace of being shut out loomed before them the Harvard players became imbued with a savage energy, Hayes, WhUtipore, Waters and Dunlop plunged irresistably through Penn sylvania’s line. Still they could not avert their fate. The ball was on Harvard’s 40- yard line. Again it was passed to Hayes for a kick and again he fumbled the ball and Knipe picked it up, ran with all speed towards Harvard’s goal. Arthur Brewer was close upon his heels, but he could not gain upon him, and when Knipe was but three yards from the Harvard goal line Brewer with a last despairing effort fairly hurled himself through the air after him, and got him by one foot and brought him down. Before Knipe could roll over the line, Whlttmore was upon him. Brewer had knocked the'wind out of himself In his effort to stop Knipe, but resumed after a few minutes Intermission. Gelbert made two yards through the line and then Knipe went through tht enter for a touch-down. The touch-down >‘.Vs made far on one side of the goal and Brooke kicked out to Wil liams. Williams made a fair catch, but Brooke failed to kick the goal, the ball striking the posts and bounding back. The score was now twelve to nothing against Harvard, with only ten minutes more of play left. The ball was kicked off again by Har vard and Pennsylvania again carried it up to the crimson’s twelve-yard line. Brooke made a feeble effort at goal from the field, but came nowhere near it. Hayes kicked to Pennsylvanias 35-yard line and the ball, bounding on the field, struck Brooke and Cabot fell upon it. The ball should have clearly been Penn sylvania’s for off-side play, as Brooke had not touched it, but the umpire probably thought he had, and gave the ball to Harvard. The ball was now on Pennsyl vania’s fifteen-yard line, and here Har vard made its most desperate rally. Wa ters and Hayes bucked the line like mad men. Pennsylvania was unable to stem the onslaught and the ball was carried up and over their line for a touch-down by Waters. Arthur Brewer failed at the try for goal the ball striking the posts and bounding back. From this time on the game was en tirely in Pennsylvania’s hands and Har vard could only oppose to their advance the desperate resistance of a brave but shattered team. Frank Shaw was hurt and Doucette took his place. Brooke made another miserable try for a goal from the field, and Osgood made another wonderful run of sixty yards around Harvard's right end to the crimson ten yard line. Wharton and Knipe plunged through the line to within three yards of Harvard’s goal and then Osgood went around the right end for another touch down. Brooke kicked out to Williams, who made a fair catch and Brooke again kicked the goal. In five minutes more time was called, at 4:50 o’clock, and the Harvard players left the field with bowed heads and tearful faces. As the referee’s whistle sounded the crowd swept over into the field, and pick ing up the victorious Pennsylvanians on their shoulders, bore them away to the training house, a square off. Over in the Harvard dressing room the scene was really a pitiful one. The men were broken-hearted and terribly bruised and battered by the hard play. Emmons, Hallowed, Frank Shaw, Charlie Brewer, and Fairchild were all unable to walk, and were carried out and placed In the carriages that were waiting for them. Hallowed did not seem to be seriously In jured, and had recovered from his de lirium. . ...... To-night the two teams attended the theater and If any one went there with the Idea of knowing anything that was going on on the stage, the howling col legians In the audience speedily dissipated this notion by drowning the performance. The followers of Pennsylvania are having a veritable saturnalia of rejoicing on the Streets to-night, and ad the usual scenes that' follow a big college foot bad game are being enacted.

Emmons re turned to Boston to-night and the bal ance of the team will follow to-morrow morning. A ROUGH AND TUMBLE GAME. The Columbia Athletic Club Defeats Georgetown University. Washington, Nov. 29.—T0-day was a per fect foot ball day and about 4,000 people witnessed the annual game for the cham pionship of the District of Columbia, played between the Georgetown college eleven and the Columbia Athletic Club team. The Columbia boys will keep the handsome silver trophy for another year, winning by scoring 20, and shutting the college boys out. The game was very rough and four men were carried from the field. Harder, the clever little Columbia quarter-back, broke his collar bone in the first 15 minutes play. It is feared that “Shorty” Baher is internally injured. Shields and Callahan distinguished them selves, the former for his brilliant all round playing, and the latter for his un necessary roughness and slugging, re ceiving a black eye from Dickinson. At no time was Columbia’s goal in much dan ger, and when time was called in the first half, the ball W’as on Georgetown’s 1-yard line. The Georgetown boys were plainly out of condition, as shown by their nu merous accidents and the fact that all scores were made in the second half, the Columbia boys standing the rough play much better than their opponents. The teams weighed just about the same. The score was as follows: C. A. C. Position. G. U. Shields Full Back Murphy Lewis Right Half Back Bahen S. Johnson ..Left Half Back Mahoney Harder Quarter Back C. Carmody Gaff Center O’Brien Penton Right End Boyle Wells, C Right Tackle Nelson Dicenson Right Guard Davis A.

David, Princeton, ’93, was chosen as referee; Phil Walker, Princeton, ’95, umpire and Henry Riggs, Princeton, '95, linesman. Touch-downs—Wells, Dickenson, Lewis (2.) Goals Kicked—Shields (2.) VIRGINIA DOWNS THE TARHEELS. The North Carolina Boys Beaten by a Score of 34 to 0. Richmond, Nov. 29.—Fully six thousand people attended the game of foot ball plp.yed here to-day between the Univer sity of Virginia and the University of North Carolina teams. From an athletic standpoint, the game could hardly be called a success, as the North Carolinians were clearly outclassed at every point. It was observed that they went into the contest with grave fears of defeat, and ten minutes after the struggle began, it was still more evident that their appre hensions would be realized. The Vir ginians won easily by a score of 34 to 0. The team lined up as follows: U. of Va. Position. U. of N. C. Price, 158 Right End Merritt, 159 Johnson, 156 Left End..’—Gregory, 156 Bosher, 160 Left Tackle Pugh, 160 Hicks, 159 Right Tackle Baird, 172 Penton, C. 210..

Baker succeeded Burlingame In the last half and before the close of the game Graham war substituted for Baskerville, who sprained ljis knee, and Baird wrenched his hip ,and was succeeded by Guion, who In turn was succeeded by King. The effects-of the careful train ing to which :he Ytirglnla lads had been subjected ’were evidenced In all their ac tions and -.their tpam work was, ex cellent. The players composing the elev en were nearly all experienced, while the North Carolinians showed lack of prac tice and a degree of weakness which was unquestionably the result of their Inexpe rience and want of training. To make the superiority of the Old Dominion even more manifest they (considerably out weighed the “Tar Heyls" and broke through their lines with facility. What the "Tar Heels" lacked In skill and strength they more than made up In pluck and determination. al though these qualities served for but lit tle against the odds that handicapped them. The game was clean played through out and wai freq from the slugging and many other disagreeable things which have heretofere put the sport In disfavor In Richmond. It was generally conceded that for tlie time they had played together the North Carolinians did splendid work. In the first half they came near scoring, but Sharp, when running with a clear field, stumbled In the grass before making the touch down and the Virginians sooi forced the ball back to the east end. The Individual work of the North Carolina boys was ex cellent, but they were not solid In team work. Pope made the superb record of kl.-klng goal five times out of a possible six. The time that he missed, however, was the easiest score to make. After the game a brilliant reception was tendered the two teams at the Common wealth Club by the Richmond alumni of the university. The guests, numbering pernaps 600, ladles and gentltmen, were received by a committee of ladles, assisted by Gov. O'Ferrall and several Of the resi dent alumni. FOOT BALL ILA YBRBXZLLSD.

Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 29.—About 4,000 people witnessed the game of foot ball played here this afternoon between the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Auburn and the University of Alabama team of Tuscaloosa. It had been looked forward to with considerable Interest, caused by the Intense rivalry between the two coleges, and there were people In at tendance from all over the state. Before the game Auburn made a protest against Tuscaloot I'a playing outside men, and In consequence two former University of North Carolina students were de clared out. Another protest was filed against Shelly and Abbott of Tuscaloosa, It being charged that they are each paid a salary. This was denied by the Univer sity of Alabama . epresentatlves, and the mutrlculatlon of ' ue two men was shown to be regular and they entered the game. In the first 35-mlhute half Tuscaloosa made a touch down and kicked a goal, and in the last half two touch downs were made and two goals were kicked by the University, while Auburn failed to score, thus leaving the scoie 18 to 0. This makes honors even, Tuscaloosa having suffered a defeat at the hands of Auburn last year. Not a single man on either of the elevens was Injured and the game throughout was free from slugging and ruffianism. MERCER BEATS MACON. The Betting Was 3 to 1 on the Macon Eleven.

About 3,000 people saw the game. No serious accidents occurred, but there was some slugging. The betting was three to one on the Macon team. Several thousand dollars changed hands, and the result of the game was a great surprise. SOLDIERS ON THE GRIDIRON. The Technological School Eleven of Atlanta Defeated by 34 to 0. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 29.—The technolog ical school was defeated here to-day by a team composed of officers and privates of Ft. McPherson. The score was 34 to 0.

The Strip That Slipped Away 1.400 Feet Long and 100 Feet Wldt—lt Was Composed of Made Ground and Had Nothing to Hold It in Place—A Man and a Girl Known to’ Have Perished and Heavy Loss of Life on a Fleet of Small Craft Probable. Tacoma, Washington, Nov. 29.—Shortly after 11 o’clock last night forty-five feet of the south end of the Puget Sound ware house of the Northern Pacific railroad on the water front, including the office of the road, the cattle sheds and the pump house for the hydraulic work of filling In tide lands, sank Into the bay. John Han sen, a watchman, was In the pump house and has not been seen since. He Is be lieved to have been drowned. Close by the south end was the boat house of H. H. Alger, built partly on made land and partly on piles. This turned over completely. A family of six persons were asleep In the boat house at the time. All were rescued except a 15- year-old girl named Emma, who Is miss ing. At an early hour this morning the land seemed to be still slowly slipping Into 'the bay. Whether It was caused by some convulsion of nature, or merely the slipping of the made land Into the oay remains to be seen. What appeared to be a tidal wave was observed by Sergt. Harris at Old Town, more than a mile away. Several ships parted their cables, but were secured before sustaining any damage. The length of the strip which caved In Is about 1,4(8) feet and the damage done extends back In places 100 feet. The ground Is all made, that is, filled In, and com posed of loose rock, earth and debris of all kinds. This has never had anything to brace It or hold It In place, and the recent heavy rains have undermined It, causing It to slide forward Into the bay, carrying everything In its course. This Is the generally accepted theory as to the cause of the accident. The whole water front at this point was anchoring ground for what Is called the “Mosquito fleet,” made up of small craft. Many of these vessels have disappeared, and thus far no trace of them has been found. Many of the boats served us sleeping apartments for their owners, and for this reason It Is thought several lives have been lost besides those of Han son, the watchman, and Emma Stubbs, the 15-year-old step-daughter of Mr. Al ger. A diver will at once search for the missing property which lies at the bottom of the bay. An estimate of the damage to property Is hard to give, but It will be over $50,000. Much freight, some of It perishable, was standing on the wharves and stored In the warehouse which col lapsed. Some of this merchandise can be readily recovered, but much of It will prove a total loss. A small army of work men are already at work moving freight and saving goods which He within reach. No bodies have been recovered. THANKSGIVING DAY. How the Holiday Was Obsorved in Va rious Parts of the Countrv. Washington, Nov. 29—Thanksgiving day was generally observed In Washing ton, largely as a religious and athletic holiday.

FALL OF PORT ARTHUR. Two Thousand Chinese Killed During the Cannonading of the Place. London. Nov. 29.—The correepondent of the Central News at Toklo telegraphs as follows: “Details off the fall of I'ort Ar thur are now beginning to arrive. The number of Chinese killed In the engage ment was about 2,000, most of whom were slain during the cannonading of that place on Nov. 30. The statements that there was a further excessive slaughter of Chinese, although It would have been excusable In consequence of the mutilation and torture of Japanese soldteis, are ab solutely denied by the Japanese officers in command. During the attack upon Fort Arthur a large force of Chinese from Foe Chow, and beyond Kin Chow, at tacked the latter place, but the Japanese garrison repulsed them after severe fight ing, with a heavy loss to the Chinese. The Japanese loss was 20 killed and 60 wound ed, Including several officers." A dispatch to the Central News says that the Japanese army under Field.fc.ur shal Yumagata has passed through the Mo-Tien Casses, ami Is believed to have taken possession of the city of Llao-Y'ang, forty miles from Moukden.

The 1 'ally News will reproach Japan again to-morrow for continuing the war, saying: “There is no clear, open, avowed issue between the Chinese and the power which revels in the luxury of hitting at them when they are down. No war in our recollection has been continued on such terms.

She can retire from the contest with unstained laurels and with the maximum amount of advantage that external forces will per mit her to reap.

London, Nov. 29.—The admiralty and board of trade committee, which for some time past has been considering the subject of the destruction of derelict vessels, does not advise the adoption by the government of any scheme for the destruction of aban doned vessels, or the holding of an inter national conference on the subject. It does, however, recommend the better re porting of derelicts as to their character, location, etc., and the periodical publica tion of such reports. The committee further says that the danger of disasters resulting from collis ion with derelict* Is probably greatly ex aggerated, as the number afluat at one time In the entire north Atlantic has not exceeded 19. The publication of the Infor mation In regard to derelict Vessels given In tho charts Issued by the United States would, the committee states, be Impractic able, and Its use would be likely to mis lead mariners and needlessly alarm them.

The Monroe Doctrine Involved in the Nicaraguan Flurry. A Fruitless Discussion of Forty Years’ Standing Would Be Re-opened by Yielding to the Contention of Great Britain—The New Order of Control at Bluefield’s Tacitly Agreed to by Great Britain for Several Months Past. Washington, Nov. 29.—The present con dition of the Nicaraguan Involvement ap pears to be this; The United States dis tinctly refuses to reopen the Mosquito question at the point where negotiations were proceeding a year ago, when the only law In the disputed territory emanated from Chief Clarence, and the filibustering supporters he had gathered around him. The reopening of the question at this point appears to be what Great Britain desires. It is held by the United Stutcs that thw new government established by Nicara gua at BldsOelds Is admittedly a vast Im provement upon the Irresponsible rule of an Ignorant half breed, and that Great Britain, In common with the United States and other countries In the Interest of commerce, should now be willing to up hold an organised government for thet maintenance of order and for the protec tion of foreign Interests In that sparse ly settled country. YVhlle to some extent the negotiations which England herself In vited under pressure, looking to the abro gation of the treaty of Managua, involved the threshing over of much old straw, tho Indisputable facts remain that Great Brit ain has known and tacitly agreed to tho new order of control which has existed at Bluefields for several months, that Great Britain has been fully aware of the ap proval extended by the United States to the Nicaraguan assumption of responsi bility for the preservation of lnw and or der there, and that Great Britain has re frained, until goaded by the expulsion of ex-Consul Hatch from rehabilitating tho claims of an ancient tribe of Indiana whose present members consist of Jamai ca negroes, half breeds and law-resisting whites of various nationalities. Under the circumstances the United States could hardly do otherwise than re sist an attempt tc return to the old order of things. For forty years not the slight est progress had resulted from the con tinuous and exasperating negotiations growing out of the Clayton-F.ulwer treaty with Its voluminous correspondence, unttl Nicaragua secured complete and final con trol over the Mosquito territory last Au gust, The valuable time consumed by tbe great statesmen of thin country and of Great Britain In the exchange of Ideas resulted In affecting the convictions of neither In the slightest degree, and with the recollection of this condition of hope less discussion of a question) forced upon the present administration It Is regarded as certain that the United States will not be Induced to again throw opep to profit less discussion the principles of the Mon roe doctrine, which are now held to he firmly established beyond any possible friendly contention by a foreign power. Notwithstanding the natural desire of naval authorities to disclaim any menace to a friendly country In the announced In tention to maintain unusually large fleets on both coasts of Central America this winter, It Is not denied that the ships are held In readiness to proceed under tele graphic orders, nor is It regarded as at all probable that the fleets, while cruising near Nicaragua, Panama or Venezuela, will even passively encourage any disre spect for the American flag In those wa ters. London, Nov. 30.—This morning's news papers do not refer editorially to the re qorted differences between the United States and England In Central America. TRAGEDY AT A GUN CLUB SHOOT.
