SUNDAY, NOVEMBtK cc. SPECTATORS ITCH IN AMAZEMENT US YULE MUSHED BY HARVARD /Seventy-One Thousand Persons Witness 36 to 0 Drubbing’ in ' Blue Bowl-- Largest Number of Points Ever Registered Against An Eli Eleven-- Crimson Rushed Up and Down Field Almost at Will, Scoring in Everyone of Four Periods. New Haven, Conn. —Harvard's foot ball juggernaught crushed the Yale eleven by a 36 to 0 score in the Blue "bowl" here today while 71,000 spec tators watched the gridiron rout in stupified amazement. The Crimson machine rushed up and down the field, almost at will, scoring Jn every one of the four periods and when play had ended in had rolled up the largest number of points ever registered against an Eli eleven. With the exception of the 1885 Yale victory of 48 to 9. it was the greatest score ever made in the thirty-four games played since 1875. Thrilling Scope. The one-sided score fails to give the slightest inkling of the thrilling scope of play or the remarkable strat egy and individual brilliancy. The elevens struggled back and forth the length of the gridiron, every second or third play bringing the thousands to their feet. Bewildered. Spectators were bewildered by the rapid successions of runs, passes and kicks which were turned into scores with almost as much rapidity, but al ways for Harvard. Far from the least of those kaleidoscopic changes were the fumbles Yale contributed in the shadow of the chimson goal posts and which Harvard turned into additional touchdowns. The grip of the game seld spell bound the great gathering of football enthusiasts ever assembled for an in tercollegiate contest in this country. Row after row the cement tiers rose In great elliptical sweeps, each thou sand of men and women, crowded shoulder to shoulder, while from the blue sky the sun shone with just enough power to take the chill from the sharp November atmosphere. The Yale cohorts remained loyal to the last, although they realized that the Blue had a foil for one of the greatest elevens of all time. No Safety. Harvard scored by all methods ex cept the safety. Hardly had the con test opened before the Cambridge combination showed its power. Just after the kickoff the Crimson took a Y'ale punt on her own 20-yard line and started down the field. The ad vance broke through on around the Yale line for steady gains until inside the Blue’s 10-yard line. Hem a for RESULTS ON THE GRIDIRON Illinois Defeats Wisconsin. Madison, Wie.— The powerful I Ilinois eleven won the Western Conference championship here Saturday by taking the final game from the University of Wisconsin, 24 to 9. Illinois made three touchdowns and one field goal. Wisconsin made one touchdown and a safety. The Wisconsin line could not resist the fierce Illinois plunges and with the visitors’ brilliant backfieid the Cardinals had little chance. Wisconsin vainly resorted to forward passed, but failed to gain. » The Wis consin team, however, is given great credit for its game stand against Illi nois, which is credited with aving the *best balanced eleven seen in the confer /ence for years. \ Purdue Victorious. ■ LaFayette, Ind. —Purdue won from In diana Saturday, 23 to 13. Superiority at line smashing and skirting ends brought victory. Pultse, Purdue’s quarterback, drop kicked a goal from the 45-yard line. Both teams failed at forward passing. Army Wins. West Point, N. Y. —The Army closed its home season Saturday by defeating Springfield Training school, 13 to 6. The game was played in mud. Both teams made many attempts at forward passes and open play but foot ing was so treacherous few trys were successful. Navy Defeats Ursinius. Annapolis, Md. —With a team com posed largely of second string men. Navy today defeated Ursinius, 33 to ‘Vindication is suns; led frank Atlanta, Ga. —Leo M. Frank, under sentence of death for the murder of 14 year old Mary Phagan, issued a state ' ment here tonight in which he ex- Jfcpressed confidence that his vindica tion would ultimately be established. "Whether I will live to see my vin dication, I cannot tell,” added Frank. ‘ I am human enough to want to live to see it, for it is my right and due. But I may not; X may suffer death. "Still one thing is sure—the truth can not be executed. Vindication may be long In coming but it will come. With this knowledge, death itself has little terror for me, for It is said 'He who is innocent within is armed without.’ The statement was prompted by the recent decision of the supreme cuort of Georgia declining to annul the ver dict of guilty returned against the young factory superintendent. Attor neys for Frank are now attempting to obtain a hearing before the supreme court of the United States. Frank again criticized the condi tions surrounding his trial, asserting that there was "an atmosphere reek ing with prejudice and mob violence, where Impartial, calm and judicial consideration was impossible." Him JEN MUST DIE Phoenix, Ariz. —With the statement that his heart had been saddened by the verdict of the people in refusing at the recent election to abolish capi tal punishment, Governor Hunt de clared today he would let fourteen condemned prisoners die on the g&l ward pass resulted in the first touch down. Harvard struck savagely in the sec ond quarter. Starting from its own 40-yard line, the team carried the ball in rapid fashion until Francke was given the pigskin for the final plunge. He fumbled, but, following the ball like a flash, fell on it as it rolled across the goal line for Harvard's sec ond score. Hardwick again failed at the try for a goal. Yale Punted. Yale then took a punt on her 25- vard line and the team rammed its way through to the Harvard 25-ya.rd line. The Crimson forwards stiffened and Yale resorted to a forward pass for ten yards. Then the team resum ed its line battering but it went for naught. On the final rush Knowles dropped the ball and Leftend Coolidge, of the Crimson eleven, got in and on a dead run started for the Y'ale goal, 98 yards away. The Y'ale team was slow to get into pursuit. Not so with Harvard. The Crimson players streamed along in the wake of Cool idge, ready to ward off tackles on his rear. It was well they did for Le gore and Wilson, two of Yale’s fastest sprinters, were soon sweeping over the turf at great speed. They began to try to overhaul Coolidge but clever blocking and checking by Hardwick, Mahan and Trumbull protected the tiring runner until he had crossed the line for the third touchdown from which Hardwick kicked his first goal. In the history of football, which goes back to 1873, but four longer runs have been made following a fumble and those were in the days when the field was longer than and present 100- yard dimensions. Yale Out-Classed. Yale was out-classed and out-gen eraled, although several of her players compared favorably from an individual standpoint with Harvard's best. Le gore’s running, Knowles’ line plung ing, Wilson's, Talbott's and Betts’ de fensive work were bright spots. Like all recent Harvard teams, the indi vidual was sunk in the perfect work ing of the machine. Mahan and Hardwick were the Har vard stars from an individual stand point, but it was a football team that Coach Haughton sent into the Yale bowl to help in the dedication of the new football stadium. 2. The visitors scored a safety in the final moments of play. Minnesota Gets Second Place. Chicago.—Minnesota today won sec ond place in the Western Conference race for football honors, defeating Chicago, 13 to 7. Chicago, though crippled by the absence of Gray, its best back, held the strong Minnesota team down even terms, one touch down each, until Captain Desjardien, of Chicago, who repeatedly saved Chi cago by his long punts, was hurt in the first play of the final quarter and taken out. Minnesota made its final touchdown by successive plunges through the weakened Maroon line. Dartmouth 40; Syracuse 0. Boston.—A versatile Dartmouth eleven, with bull-like rushes, sweep ing end runs and accurate passes overwhelmed a heavier team from Syracuse today, 40 to 0. Man for man the New Hampshire eleven excelled. Dartmouth took advantage of frequent fumbles and used the forward pass successfully. Syracuse played an open game. Georgetown Defeated. Washington.—Washington and Jef ferson added another to its string of football victories here today, defeat ing GeoGrgetown, 14 to 0. Penalties imposed on Washington and Jeffer son had much to do with George town’s touchdown. lows on the date originally set. “As December 19th has been des ignated as the execution date for 11 there will he eleven hangings In Flor ence penitentiary that day,” said the governor. “I have not the power to commute sentence, because I put the question up to the people and they have given the verdict.” mw aid IN PEACE FEAN Wars Denounced in Final ses sion American Federation of Labor. To ’Frisco in 1915. Philadelphia.—The American Fed eration of T.abor at the final session today at its thirty-fourth annual meeting re-olected all present offi cers and voted to hold the next na tional convention at San Francisco in November, 1915. Wars Denounced. Philadelphia.—Tha American Fed eration of convention, at its final ses sion here tonight. denounced wars that have back of them brutality, greed and commercialism. It also adopted a resolution pledging support to any plan aiming at the disarma ment of all nations "to the furtherest extent consistent with the preserva tion of law and order throughout the world.” Revolutionary wars for redress of wrongs Inflicted by despotic rulers were approved, but the convention ad vocated resorting to constitutional means if there gre any, before taking up arms. One resolution adopted suggested that representatives of organized la bor of the different nations should meet at the time and place of meeting of the nations following the war that labor might help In restoring frater nal relations and thereby laying the foundation for a more lasting peace. Girl Victim of Hydrophobia; Bitten Year Ago i||flH^^Bj£. t ;‘ r .^gTCj^nH i MISS GRACE POLHEMUS. New York.—The most remarkable ease of hydrophobia on record Is that of Miss Grace Polhemus, thirteen years old, who is now in the worst stages of the dread malady. A newly discovered serum—a combination of quinine and urea hy drochloride —has failed to make any appreciable change in the condi tion of the little patient. It was on November 19, 1913, that she was bitten by a oat she picked up on the porch of her home and tenderly fondled. She was placed tinder the Pasteur treatment and it was believed that all danger had passed long ago. GOSSIP IN FOOTBALL WORLD The 1914 football season which closes this week will go down In his tory as the most surprising, the most spectacular and the most successful financially of any season in the long history of the rah rah sport. The season was filled withsurprises of a startling nature. Not one week went by that some big eleven did not go down to defeat or was tied by one of the so-called weaker elevens. Not one week flitted hence without the grand old dope being upset in a fash ion that made it dizzy. The new style game that was uni versally adopted this year was the cause for the surprises and it also was the cause for spectacular playing that featured nearly every game in which evenly matched teams figured. The open style game changed foot ball from a game that was rather un interesting and marked by only a few spectacular open plays to a game re plete with open and spectacular plays Practically every college team in the country will finish the season with bigger profits than ever before. The three big colleges—Yale, Princeton and Harvard—will have a bulky net profit due to the fact that the Har vard-Princeton game drew 40,000 per sons, the Yale-l'rinceton game, about 42,000 and the Yale-Harvard game over 70,000. The. spectators paid $2.00 each to see these games, so it may be seen that he total proceeds from these three games alone were over $300,000. Coaching System. One thing that the season has prov ed and that is that the. professional coaching system is better than that of graduate coaching. Harvard pays Percy Haughton some thing like $7,000 for his three months work, and ever since Haughton has been coaching Harvard the Crimson eleven has been considerably among those present. Yale hired a coach this year and Yale this year has shown better form than any of the Yale teams for hte past four or five years when the amateur coaching system was in force. Princeton has graduate coaches and THE “IMPOSSIBLE” RECORD OF UNION COLLEGE, N. Y. New York.—Unlon Cullegfi in Schenec tady, N. Y. ( ha* accomplished the seem ingly irnpoKHible in thin year of foot ball sports. Union cloned it* season Saturday with a record of eight victor!cm in eight starts. Only two other college*—Afrny and Washington and Dee have gone along without Buffering defeat and neither of those teams ha* finished their season, Union College ha* a student enroll ment of less than f»00. In other years it had team* that furnished little more than practice for the teams that op posed. And then came Fred T. baw son, an old Princeton star as coach and thing* began to T>erk up greatly in a football way at Union. Material Bad. Dawson didn’t have much real foot ball material at his disposal when the 1914 season opened. Hut Dawson find ing that ids teem lacked In brain taught It to ukc its 1 rains. Dawson schooled his men in the new style game and as a result Union this >ear Jumped from the Joke team class to an enviable posi tion Jri the football world. Dawson built up a great defnsiva team THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. Princeton's showing this wear shrieks against the graduate coaching sys tem. Michigan has a professional coach. It has had a professional coach for many years In the person of "Hus tle ’Em Up” Yost and in all these years Michigan has figured largely in football affairs. Washington and Jefferson hired Hob Folwell to do the coaching two years ago and ever since Washington and Jefferson has been one of the Idg noises in the football world. The University of Pittsburg has a profes sional coach, and Pittsburg this year had one of the very best teams in the East. Carlisle has had a professional coach for many years and for many years Carlisle has been one of the most feared teams in the country. Forward Pass. Most of the football elevens in the east have considerable difficulty in executing a forward pass. In the big games in the East in which the for ward pass was tried more than a score of times, it was successful in only a few instances. Judged from the spec tators’ viewpoint, the forward pass ought to be successful at least, five times out of ten. Princeton tried a half dozen forward passes in the game against Harvard. Only once did it "take.” That result ed in a 20-yard gain for the Tigers. In two of the other four cases Har vard got the bajl, while In the three other Instances the ball was grounded and was to he taken back to the lay ing point. It seems from a spectators' view point that the men who handle the throwing end of the forward pass waits too long before making the heave. They get the ball, pull back their arms, Upping the opposition to what Is coming and then usually wait and take aim. The business of tak ing aim may be all right, but it hasn’t proven to be all right. While the thrower Is taking aim it gives the opposing players a chance to shoot, forward toward the man who is to receive the ball and kill off his chances to catch the ball. as is shown by the fact, that In elgtit contests. Union has been scored upon only three times once by a drop kick and twice by touchdowns. Union closed its season in a blaze of glory on Saturday by defeating Hamil ton, its trongest rival, 25 to 7. It was Union's fourth victory over Hamilton In Ya years- and th< Hamilton team this year looked like one of the best that has represented one of the so-called smaller colleges. MINNESOTA WON BIG NINE CROSS COUNTRY RUN LaFayetts, Ind.—Minnesota won the big nine conference crons country run here this afternoon scoring 45 points. Ames was second with 81 points. Wat son, of Minnesota, the individual win ner, crossed the tape in 2fi minutes and 25 seconds, said to be a new con ference record for the distance of five miles.

THE PRINCESS “Never,” She Cried, “Never Again Will I Leave My Fairy Tale Kingdom.” And Just Then a Slender Hand Took the Old Book and Opened it Just £t Her Page. The princess was living on a ro mantic page In the book of fairy tales. Blie was beautiful and fair as prin cesses only are in fairy tale books. Sho wore a gown embroidered \\ ilh gold and in her hand she held a White lily. As long as she could remember she had been standing on the tower of her castle looking at a landscape that never changed. Now it does make you feel rather stupid always to hold a lily in your hand and at times it made her thor oughly disgusted with herself. She felt an almost irresistible desire to throw it away and run from the stupid picture page out into the wide world. It was quite unbearable. In the pic ture where she stood the sky was al ways blue and the sun a golden yel low, but what disgusted her more than anything else was the fiddler . stand ing at the foot of the tower with whom she was supposed to he hopelessly and romantically In love. For a cen tury he had been standing there with out getting a single step closer. Onoe when It was dark night in the real world without she screamed aloud so that it was hoard through a hun dred pages of the fairy tale book, screamed for somebody to help. On the next picture in-t.ho'fatry tale hook lived an old witoh In a flood of dazzling moonlight. Toads and snakes were all around her. The old witch knew how dreadful It is always to be alone and while she was young and pretty she had run away from the fairy tale book many times In search of adventure, but now she was old and virtuous. Old witches, however, love to see beautiful young princesses go to the bad. She did not hesitate long, hut put on her peaked cap wrapped her self and astride a broomstick she rode straight through a hundred pages Into the princess' castle. The princess who saw her threw away her Illy and ran, ran as fast as she could but not toward the loving and faithful fiddler, out of the castle, through the garden and the long alley to the white margin of the page. “Beware, princess,” the old witch cried, "you must be hack before the cock crows or pay a dreadful penalty." “1 shall he back In time,” cried the princess and jumped right out into the real world. For a moment she looked around all bewildered for the real world was full of hooks ami very, very dark. Only on a small table a little sun was shin ing under a green silk shade anil there sal a young woman reading a letter. Giand Duchess and Princess on firing Line As Red Cross Nurses V 0 St U ' v **■ r - 'Hfh j}>* , / ' \’ V T^~.', > GRAND DUCHESS MARIE PAVLOVA OF RUSSIA. Patrograd.—Word earn* from tile front today thai Hu Grand Duchess Marl*- Pavlova, recently divorced from Prince William of Sweden, and Princess Helen of Heryln, daughter-in-law of the Grand Duki Constan tine, are now on Hi*' firing line. They left here attired in ibe Red Gross garb, having abandoned all forms anil ceremonies of (he court. The Dowager Empress of Russia In atao Indefatigable In her work of visiting the Red Cross hospitals and Ik doing splendid service In draw ing ladles of the court und others to follow her example. Ihe princess recognized her Imme diately, it was her good friend of .years ago--though at that time her hail- was hanging loose and she wore short skirts. Today her friend was sad and the princess wanted so much to enjoy herself. Fortunately there lived In the nc.\i book a young nobleman called lionieo, who held a rope ladder in his hat'd, tie politely offered Ills assist ance ami helped the young princess lii reach the window sill. The win dow was open and a branch of a rose hush stretched into the room. The princess clung to (his. It bent under her weight and gently let her down on the lawn. The garden strangely enough look ed just liltr that in her own fairy tale hook, in one walk stood a man just like her faithful loving fiddler. But, he did not stand still very long. With hurried steps and quite out of breath he came nearer. “You are the fairest, most beautiful princess in all the world," he said tenderly and kissed her. The prin cess trembled with a feeling she had never known before. “How Is It?” she asked, "that your lips speak most sweetly when you say nothing?” “Oh, that was a. kiss." And every night after this the prin cess rah away from her fairy tale book to listen to the strange sweet ness of lips that said nothing and only returned home Just before the cock crowed. She slipped noiselessly hack into her hook and never noticed how everything changed. The lily began to fade and wither and the faithful fiddler grew paler. At last the old fairy tale hook changed. II acted In a rnyst odious manner, hid behind other hooks anil concealed love letters hot ween Its leaves. And the pale young woman sat under her 111 lie green shaded sun and cried until It was nearly dawn. The princess paid no attention to her. She did not even understand what tears meant. In the fairy tale book time 'never moves, in tho real world it Is continually being wasted. The roses in the garden withered, grey clouds gathered around the moon. It grew dark and cold. The princess shivered She was afraid of being alone and her lover often lot her wait so long and when ho finally came lie was almost as dull as tlio faithful fiddler. The princess did not want to no tice tills. She tried to hold him with loving flattering words when he want ed to leave tier. And it was long since the cock had crowed. Women, alas, iln not listen to the warning crowing when they try to put new life lnlo a dying love. The princess stay ed out too late, later than she ought to. The next day the prophecy of the old witch was fulfilled In all its bit terness: Her lover did not come. The princess waited and waited, tears whitened her cheeks and she felt a Sharp pain in her left breast. Next day when she came home the paper of the page burst just across her heart. What did she care now for the eternal sunshine, the roses and the pale, faithful fiddler? She knew it was all merely a fairy tale. Her lover had gone never to return. “Never," she cried, "never again will 1 leave my fairy tale kingdom. And lust then a slender hand took the old hook and opened It Just at her page. In her terror the princess almost dropped the withered lily. Her friend, (he pale young woman stood there, hut not alone, a man was next to her whom the princess knew The princess trembled, the castle trembled as did also the blue sky. Tlio man looked at her as Indiffer ently as if he had never seen her he fore, hut the pale young woman ty*ok the love letter from tho book. "Did you not swear that you would love mo always? That you would love me and never leave me? Tile man shook his head. He was evidently bored. He said he had to go far away and ho had never loved anybody else. "That Is what he told me, too,” whispered the princess but nobody heard her. And the poor pale woman cried. She, too, had once longed to get away from her fairy tale book, and had also failed to hear the cock crowing and now her heart, was breaking for In the real world people think that not only fairy tale princesses but all women have paper hearts. ‘KANGAROO TEAM’ IN BIKE RACE Alfred Goulette, Australia, and Alfred Grenda, Tasmania, Beat Out Five Other Teams on “Home-Stretch.” i N©w York.—Alfred of An*.
