Princeton, N. J., Nov. 12.—Every
thing is blue in Old Nassau to-night.
Yale to-day administered defeat to the
Princeton Tigers by the score of 12
to 0.
Prinoeton will forever blame the ele
ments for to-day's defeat. The inter
mittent downpours of Friday had made
the gridiron soft and slimy and the
orange and black were the chief suf
ferers.
Their backs, reputed to be the fast
est in the country, could gain no head
way on the slippery field, and their
forwards, much lighter than Yale’s,
were unable to brace themselves for
the fierce attack of the Blue line.
Luck In Both Touchdown*,
It would be an injustice to Yale to
attempt to detract from her glorious
victory, but there was surely an ele
ment of luck in both touchdowns.
On the first score Princeton’s over
anxiety was her undoing. Three times
early in the opening half were the
representatives of Old Nassau penal
ized for off-side and once for holding—
a distance of thirty yards, a great ad
vantage for a fierce line bucking ag
gregation like the Yale eleven. In the
same half Yale suffered only once for
a penalty, and at the time the ball
was so far in Princeton's territory that
the fire yards availed nothing.
No Spectacular Play*.
The game was absolutely devoid of
spectacular plays; Yale’s eleven is not
constructed on the spectacular line,
and the soggy field militated against
Princeton’s reputed brilliant backfleld.
Yale used straight plays aimed at
center or tackle, only twice did she
essay a quarterback run. The first at
tempt was a dismal failure, but on
the second try Rockwell got away for
a pretty twenty-yard run. Time and
again Tenney gave his own signal for
a quarterback run, but he ran so
much faster than the interference and
the Yale second defense was so unus
ually alert that he found a tackier
awaiting him at the end of the line.

Princeton's gains and her defense
were due in a great measure to the
Individual playtne of three men, Coon

While Yale outplayed Princeton In
the opening half the latter clearly had
their opponents on the defensive in the
closing half. During the last thirty
five minutes of play the ball was al
most continuously in Yale's territory,
except when Hoyt would kick.
Yale Weak at Tackling.
There was one noticeably weak point
In Yale’s play and this was her tack
ling in the open. Time and again her
ends would miss Tenney and on two
different occasions he eluded three Yale
men, only to fall on the treacherous
turf as he was turning the end. Yale
was also weak in the kicking g*aine.

HARVARD HAD LITTLE
TROUBLE WITH HOLY CROSS.
Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 12. —Har-
vard had little difficulty in defeating
Holy Cross on Soldiers’ Field by the
score of 28 to 5, this afternoon. Holy
Cross was weak, especially in the cen
ter. Harvard was weak in her de
fense at times, but she had the ball
through most of the game.
PENNSYLVANIA HAD
TROUBLE WITH INDIANS.
Philadelphia, Nov. 12.—Although the
football team from the Carlisle In
dian School failed to score against the
University of Pennsylvania team on
Franklin Field, three touchdowns
made by Pennsylvania were earned
with difficulty.
The Indians were lighter than Penn
sylvania, but what they lacked In
weight they made good in speed. Stev
enson was the bright particular star
of the battle. Three times he stop
ped runs that promised to cross Penn

made runs that were little short of

Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 12.—Clemson

a downpour of rain by a score of 6
to 0.
The winning touchdown was made
early in the first half by Holland, aft
er which the ground gaining honors
were Tennessee’s. Several times it
seemed as if the home team would
score, but the Carolinians held them
at critical points.

Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 12.—1n the
annual game for the football cham

the University of Alabama to-day, by

Auburn used the Yale tackle-back for
mation, and so perfect was the Inter

to stop It. By on-slde kicks, Alabama
advanced the ball In the second half,
so that she succeeded In scoring. An
Immense crowd witnessed the contest.

TECH TRIUMPHED
OVER GEORGIA
FIRST VICTORY IN YEARS.
GAME FOUGHT IN DRIZZLING RAIN
BEFORE LARGE CROWD.
Eliminating Fumbles, the Score
Should Have Been IX to O In Favor
of Tech—Ball Was Pnnted Over the
Fence, Tech Got It and Scored a
Touchdown—Georgia Seemed to
Lock Training, Being Poor on Of
fensive Work, But Played Well on
the Defensive.
Atlanta, Nov. 12.—For the flrsrt time
since 1893. when Gen. Leonard Wood
played with Georgia Technical, the
University of Georgia was defeated by
the former team here to-day, thus de
ciding the state championship for this
year. Score 28 to 6.
From beginning to end the battle
was fought In a drizzling rain, but be
fore a large crowd. The score does
not show up the real nature of the
fight, which was a dogged and per
sistent one from beginning to end.
Quarterback Woodruff played the star
game for the university, while Right
Halfback Billy Wilson was Tech’s
leading man.
The score, eliminating fumbles, should
have been 11 to 0 for the Tech. The
wet ball brought about much fumbling.
Tech made the first touchdown on
straight fodtball and poor judgment
by Georgia.
Georgia Tried to Buck.
Brown of Tech kicked off to Georgia,
and Georgia made three futile attempts
to buck the Tech line. The ball was
just about twenty-five yards from the
Georgia goal line and was easily push
ed over. After an exchange of punts
a Tech runner fumbled the ball and
a Georgia man secured it. The dis
tance to Tech’s goal was ten yards.
Sage made three and Wadley bucked
for seven and over. Score, Georgia, 6;
Tech, 5.
Georgia was steadily forced back to
her own goal line. Three yards from
her line she held Tech for downs. Sulli
van dropped back for a punt, the ball
hitting a goal post and bounding over
the fence. A Tech man climbed the
fence first and secured the ball and a
touchdown.
In the second half a fumble of a re
turn punt after a kick-off and a few
bucks gave Tech another touchdown,
and straight football gave another
touchdown. Georgia lacked training,
her team work being miserable, her
defense was great and offense poor.

Fiery liniments, drawing plasters and penetrating oils never cured a cake of Rheumatism; because it is not
a local or skin disease, but a disease of the blood caused by a sour, acid condition of that vital fluid. The kidneys
and bowels get weak, the liver torpid, and the poisonous accumulations that should pass off through the usual
channels of nature are absorbed by the blood and distributed into the muscles, joints ana nerves through the circa*

greeable symptoms of the disease. Rheumatism sufferers look with dread upon the winter season with its damp,

A letter from Coach Forsyth of tha
Florida State College team to Manager
Frank Mclntlre of the Savannah Ath
letic Association states that tha old
Clemson guard believes Jacksonville
end Savannah are evenly matched, end
that a game between them should ba
of the spectacular order.
“On the defensive,” said Forsyth,
“both teams are very strong, indicat
ing strong individual playing. 1 don’t
believe that Jacksonville would be able
to score on Savannah, and there is a
bare possibility that Savannah would
be able to score on Jacksonville. Both
teams lack in aggressive line charging,
which I expect will be greatly reme
died when Cope gets hold of the Sa
vannah men. I know that little bunch
of energy and football brains of old,
and what he can’t do with a team
leaves nothing to be done. 1 would
like to see the two teams play.”
Jacksonville presents unusually
heavy forwards, the line averaging 200
pounds to the man. Both tackles,
Jones and Bridges, tip the beam at
something over 200, and on these men
will the Jays depend largely in the
line. Jones is the big fellow who is so
often mistaken for Mullaney. One
twenty-minute half lays him out, how
ever, and he is practically all in dur
ing the second round. Bridges is the
old Cumberland guard. He pitched for
the Atlanta team in the Southern
League last year and weighs a little
over 200.
Aocordlng to Forsyth, one of the
ends is excellent, the other being of
ordinary ability. Bob Kennedy, Sa
vannah's right fielder in the early part
of the baseball season, is playing quar
terback for the Jays. Jack Curran
and Hogan Yancey, both well known
tx> Savannah ball fans, are taking oare
of the half back positions, and it is
understood Yancey’s brother will play
fullback for the team. This makes a
formidable aggregation which Savan
