HOMAUS FAILS AT GOAL, And the Onlj (hance He Had to Tie the Score Is Lost. THE YEAR'S GREAT SENSATION. lighteenlhonsand People See the Orange and Black Go I'oirn. GREAT WORK BI THE RED AND THE BLUE Philadelphia, Nor. & For the first time In the history of inter-collegiate foot hall the red and blue to-night floats shore the orange and black. After a magnificent struggle of nearly two hours and a half Princeton was defeated this afternoon in the opening game of the inter-colleciate championship season by the University of Pennsylvania by a score of C to 4. The closeness of the score shows the despera tion with which the game was played, and had not Unmans failed to kick the goal from Princeton's touchdown the two teams would have come off the field with victory belonging to neither. The yearly football game between Prince ton and Pennsj lvania has become as much of a recognized athletic event in this city as the Thanksgiving Day game is in New York. Society has taken np the game, and the attendance at the match is made up of all the leaders of fashion circles in Phila delphia, with thousands of other people who take a good, genuine pleasure in watch ing a struggle ot strength and scieuce com bined. The game was plaved at Manheim, a short distance out in the suburbs. The rain of yesterday threatened to continue to-day, but many thousands who anticipated going to the match welcomed a clear sky and crisp cold air when they awoke this morn ing. The streets in the central portion of the city this moraine were crowded with wearers of the red, blue and orange and Hack. Bands of students paraded up and down flaunting the colors of their favorite college. Nearlv every girl wore or carried th orange an black ot old Nassau or the red and blue of Pennsylvania. Tlie Two KIcvens Line Up. By 2:30 fully 10,000 people were present at the grounds and most of them, at leat the male portion, were doing their level be'-t to add to the din that was prevailing. -hout waw)own at the southeast corner it the field, tfiat gatnered strength and grew into a mighty volume of sound heralded the coming ot the Pennsylvanias. With Cap tain Schoff at their head the team ran upon the field and immediately began to kick loitballs around and fall down on the ground in a way'that spoke volumes lor the Eturdmess of their bodies. A second yell lrom the crowd announced the approach of the Princetons, and Captain King and his men came upon the fi Id and proceeded to also kick footballs around and lail down on the ground. Mr. Dashiells, of Lehigh, was chosen releree and Mr. Hartwell. ot Yale, umpire. Captains Km? and Scho3 then tossed for right ol goal or ball and luck favored the V rk haired Pennsylvania!!. The wind s blowing almost a rale down the field m nest to east and Captain Schoft chose '. west goal and gave Princeton the ball. 1. .-.h Bailiett at their head the Tigers formed into a "V," with the Pennsyl- Tauians opposite to them. At 2:S5"jlay bali'Vaa called and Bailiett touched the ball upon the ground and the Princeton wedue started its onward rush for Pennsylvania's goal. For five yards the wedge sreut. through Pennsylvania's line and then slopped. As the two teams now lined up opposite each other the superior weight of the Pennsylvanias was apparent. With an average weight of 18 pounds against them it was predicted that Prince ton would have great difficulty in holding their opponents' line. This prediction was more than verified. The ball was snapped back to Qitxrter-back Morse, who passed it to King. King maile no gain and in a few iecondfe Princeton lost the ball on a fumble. Fennsj lvania Gets the I tall. As soon as the ball came in Pennsylva nia's possi stion the tactics it intended to pursue were disclosed. Its heavy rush line was hurled against Princeton's center, and a fatal weakness at that point was at once disclosed. Again and acain the Pennsyl-va'-:- rashers made openings for their backs between Center Bailiett and Left Guard Fis'cus. SIowlv but surely Princeton was borne back. Finally Tuayer punted and Poe got the ball. He was downed by Mackey, and Pennsylvania gained posses ion ot'the ball on fonr downs. Again did Pennsylvania pursue their rushing game. The ball approached within perilous prox in.ity ot Pnnoetou's goal. With the pres tige ol a long libt ot victories threatened, Princeton fought desperately. King and Poe arain and again downed the Pennsyl vania backs as they broke throngh tbe line. The steady forward rush ol the Pennsyl vanians could not be checked, however. At the ten-yard line Pennsylvania lost the ball on a tumble, but almost immediately re rained it from the same cause. The ball had now been in play 12 minutes. Vail nassed it back to Camp, and nided br the interference of Schoff, Thornton and Iteee, i the veteran halt back dashed around the right end and scored a touchdown. When the crowd retlized what had happened a pandemonium of yells, cheers, howls and cries broke loose and the two stands looked like a waving crowd of red and bine. The touchdown was away to one side and Thayer punted the ball to Vail for a free kiok. The little quarter back caught it and Thayer kicked the goal. Again was the same scene enacted by the crowd as when the touchdown was made only with renewed vigor thrown into the cheers. Tho Tigers Fight Desperately. With the'icore of 6 to 0 against them the Tigers brought the ball to the ceuter of the field and again started in a wedge lor Penn sylvania goal. Both sides lost and won the b'all several times, but fine rnns by King and Poe brought it to within 15 yards ol Pennsvlvania's goal. With a chance to score 'Captain King now made an error. Both Poe and himself are Tery fast runners, and all Princeton's gains were made around the ends bv thii pair. King, instead of lollowmg this play, now hurled his men against the Pennsylvania's line. He might as well have sent them against a stone wall, for, despite his own desperate efforts to break throngh and those of Hall. Lee and Trenchard,Pennsylvanias rush line was impregnable. Finally Prince ton lost the ball during one of its rushes and Oliver fell on it . From this time on during the first half Pennvlvania'B goal was never in danger. The remainder of the half was simply a se ries of fierce rushes br Pennsylvania which Princeton could barely stop. Up to this hour several of the players had been slightly hurt, but not seriously enough to cause them to leave tbe field. Captain Schoff has suffered especially, being twice kicked in the head during the rushes, lie had been playing a grand game at left and Princeton men had gotten beyond him. Ten minutes before time was called Pennsyl vania had the misfortune to lose the serv ices of the Captain, whose knee was hurt. Langlcrs took his plnce. Princeton Scores a Touchdown. The second half began at 3:30. Pennsyl vania now faced tfi id bad the balL It made eight yards in the "v." For some time the ball passed from one side to the other without material gain to either. As defeat began to draw upon them the Princetons grew desperate and battled fiercely for victory. Foot by loot they ad vanced the ball' to Pennsylvania's goal. Some changes had been made in the Tigers' team lrom the first half and this seemed to add to their strength- Hollv had retired and Fiscus took his place at left tackle and McFaddeu took Fiscns' place at cuard. Eighteen minutes after plav had begun Princeton had the ball on Pennsylvania's 25-yard line. The ball was passed to King, and, aided by the line interference ot the entire Prince'ton team, he wentaround the end and scored a touchdown. The ball was kicked to Morse for a free kick. Hoinans failed at the try at goal and the score stood, Pennsylvania, 6; Princeton, 4. Knipe was retired, an injured knee caus ing htm great pain. Dealabarre took his Elace. Several times after this Princeton nd the ball dangerously near .Pennsylva nia's goal, but every time the resistless sweep forward of the red and blue rush line drove the ball back. In one or tbe rnshes near Pennsvlvania's goal, Can tain King twisted his knee badly and was carried from the field. Barnett took his place. From this time on the ball was mainly in the possession of Pennsylvania, but before they could score again 'time was called and Princeton had fallen before the once de spised foe. By to-day's -ame Pennsylvania on Thanksgiving Dar 1892, will play in the great annual game in New York in place of the loser ot the coming Princeton-Yale game.

The FItrsburg Association Flayers Down the Homesteads by 11 to 1. Once more the Pittsburg Association foot ball team demonstrated the fact yesterday thtt they can play football. While other local aggregations are trotting downed, tho lot ot players looked after by President Tunn and Secretary Matthews keep np their winning gait and sustain the prestige of Pittsburg. Yesterday afternoon the locals defeated the fine team from Homestead by the remarkable score of 11 to 1. Surely a defeat or this kind must convince football pat'-ons that there Is a team here.

In the second hair there was a quarter of an hour or the fiercest fighting ever seen on a lootball field in this college town, and at the end of it Washing ton made another touchdown and goal.

A fierce wind blew across the field and chilled the 3,500 spectators, many of whom retired at the close of the first half, confident that Yale would win, the score then being 33 to a As is Yale's custom a substitute team was present. Tne Wesleyans started the first haU with the ball and g.iined 25 ynrds on the wedge play.

Just before time was called Wesleyan braced up and rushed the ball to Tale's 185-yard line, but lost It on four downs.

Fire of the best foot ball nlayers of their day stood, through the rain yesterday afternoon on the Yale field and tried to Instill ideas In tho 11 men who were playing on the University. They were "Pa" Corbln, Captain or the '83 team; Kid Wallace, '89, tbe end rnsh: Charley Gill, Cap tain in '89 and tackle; "Bill" Rhodes, Captain '90 team and likewise tackle, and HetTelfin ger, for four j ears the greatost guard in the country. Thoso men created a lively at mosphere on the field and the team plaved the hardest practice eame of the week. The gmund was wet and slippery, but even with tnli there was not so much rnguedness as early in the week. The Clinches anplled themselves to the In dividual men. W allace took Qrcenway; GUI took Winter: Rhodes talked to Armstrong, who clayed In Wallace's place; Heffelflncer, exhorted Uickox, and Corbln looked alter the center. The center problem has takon another turn. Stillmart has not been play ing at nil torthree days. Dave Lyman, tho little college center, was tried On the Uni veisity for the first h-tlf yesterday and to day. McCrea snapped the ball in the second hail or vestrrdav, bnt this afternoon Beard the substitute guard, went in the last half. This sho s how near the problem is to being solved, as Beai d has never played center in his lie. JlcCrca appears to have the best or tt at present, ha n lord and Ulckox seem to bo settled as the cmtrds.nnd there are lourmen in tho running for center McCrea, Lyman, Beard and Stillman. ir Was veet close.

In Ilimpden Park this afternoon Harvard barely succeeded in dofeattng Cornell In a lootball game which lor excitement will hardly be excelled hy even the Harvard Yale contest, which occurs on the same grounds two week from to-uay. The score or tho game to-day was 20 points to It in favor of Harvard. 1 As the tally shows one more goal for Cornell would hnve tied the score. As tt was the Ithaca boys were ahead fully half the time, and kept the ball In Harvard's territory so much that nothing but brlllinnt playing by young Brewer, the Harvard half baotr, saved tho Crimson men from a disastrous defeat. To be sure Har vard put on the field a team composed largely of substitutes and cripples, but even this fact cannot belittle the nniHniflcent run ning of Osgood and Wltherbce or the splen did rush line work of the Cornell eleven. Twice during the game Cornell had the ball almost to the Harvard goal line, and by unfortunate fumbles lost possession of the ball when another tpuohuown was almost In sight. TJicn a long punt by Corbett and a brilliant rnn by Brewer nut the ball near the center of the field again and Cornell had to begin over again. Both teams were mnch weaker In defensive than in offensive work, but Cornell compared favorably with Har vard In both respects Yesterday's Football Scores. At Orange N. J.

State College Hoys Held Down 16 Points for Their Score. to A LIVELY GAUB OP FOOTBALL. Fome Brilliant Playing; by the Stars of Both the I levens. PITTSBURG WOKSTB HOMESTEAD 11 TO 0 The P. A. C football team, "otherwise known as the East End Gyms, met its first defeat yesterday at the hands of the State College team, but it managed to keep the score down to 16 points. It was a very pretty game, the most active yet seen in the city, and the P. A. G. men are con gratulating themselves that no more points were made against tbem. Although the game was called for 3 o'clock, it was 4 be fore the men lined up, and then there were between 1,200 and 1,500 people present. The State College boys bad plenty of friends on the crounds, and their colors, blue and white, were conspicuously dis played. The State College team li a very strong organization and it plays a rapid game. No time is lost in the study of the situation and here the advantage of constant training at college is discernible. The men Know what they have to do and they do it well. Their team work yesterday was excellent and the work of individuals was brilliant. They kept the P. A. Ci moving from the ''kick off" until time was called in each half. Considering the reputations ot both teams, the came was very clean, and comparatively Iree of slugging or reprehensible work. There was some slugging, and on one occasion a regular "scrap" appeared imminent, but the game was finished with the same teams that went into the game at the start,though the umpire and releree kept a close watch on the men. now the Teams Lined Up. Of the visitors Heppenitall was the onlv one who was not able to play, and his place was taken by Hnskins. ' Heppenstall's ankle was, out of sh-ipe, but he was on the grounds and watched the plav. ProK Kirchner's place on the P. A. C team was taken by Gumbert, who showed a remark able improvement in his game fclnce his first appearance a few weeks ago. For the visitors Taylor's work was perhaps the most brilliant. He went through cer- ter in great shape, .and backed up by the team, it was seldom that this kind of play failed to make a gain. Fay .carried theball around the end and otherwise dis tinguished himself. Morrow, the left tackle, managed to get through the rush line like a Hash, and Bothrock's work on the right end was of the best quality. Harris on the other end could not hare been impn-ved upon much, and at center Eeed plaved even better than he did as stayer against the Ac A. A. Dibert's work for the P. A. CL'swas away ahead of anything elie. He went through the center, tumbled head over heels over the teams and advanced the ball whenever he took hold of it. Bert Aull made a couple of brilliant runs and several good tackles, and Martin, as usual, got in some great work at stooping the runners. Proctor aud Gumbert and Phelan and Captain Aull were also credited with some good stops, and all of the P. A. C. men worked with an energy that was hardly expected of them. How good their work was can be estimated from the fact that the State College team was beaten by the University of Pennsylvania f ", I only by zu to u, wniie the umversitr Pennsylvania resterday beat Princeton 6 to 4. Hot Work From the Start. The State College team took the ball, and the P. A. G'sthe lower end of the field. The college boys gained ten yards on the wedge and then the P. A. G.'a captured tho ball on a fumble, but they were unable to make any headway and gave tbe ball t'o'the college bovs on a .tick bv Dibert bv which they galne'd 20 yards. T"he P. A. C."'s took a determined stand, and the college- boys were forced to kick. Dibert caught the ball but was neatly tackled by Harris.. In the scrimmage thatYollowesVGumbert, who bad made a brilliant tackle, was hurt, but he took his place in the line, and then the State College boys forced the P. A. Cs back: to within 25 yards of their goal. Dibert again kicked and put the ball at center and then by slow gains and contin uous bucking the college boys took the boll down across the line, Taylor scoring the touchdown and Atherton kicking the goal. The greatest eains on the part of the col lege boys had been made by their superior work in crushing through the center. Mar tin, Dibert, Proctor and Captain Aull stop ped gains by attempted runs. Ko more points were made in this half, but the col lege boys had the ball inside the 25 yar.l line. In this part of the first halt Bert Aull made a great run to the right gaining 15 yards before he was stopped by Taylor and Bothrock. Gumbert was hurt a second time 'and Dibert made a great stop. Beed blocked a kiok by Dibert in good shape and through this the State College boys nearly made the second touchdown. Fast "Work In the Second. In the second half the State College boys got two touchdowns and one goal, and they bad to work hard to get them. The P. A. Ci bad the ball, but they gained nothing on the wedge. Martin bncked through tbe line and eained five yards. Then Proctor was tackled by Harris while running to the left, and the ball was sent to center by Dibert's kick. There was some fast and fnrious work on both sides. The college boys had vowed to score from 20 to 40 in the second half, counting on having tired the P. A. Cs in the first half, but they counted their chickens before they were hatched. They, how eTer, after 15 minutes' hard work got the ball to the 15-yard line from the P. A. Cs goal and here Fay got clear and 'carried the pigskin for a touchdown. Ath erton again kicked the goal. In the latter part of tbe second half, it looked very much at one time as it the IV A. Q's wonld score. By a series of kicks by Dibert and some good runs by Captain Aull and Gumbert ther manacred to' set the ball to within 12 yards of goal, but here thecollege hoys got the uaii aim tuey corrieu it uy sueer iorce down to the line where Dowler got the touchdown by bucking. Atherton, how ever, failed to kick goal aud as it was dark and only three minutes more to plav a halt was called, tbe score being 18 to 0. The teams lined up as follows: State ColUae. rosttion. P. A.

Tnz annual meeting of the American Turf Congress will be held at St. Louis November 0. Readib." In our opinion there Is no world's champion heavyweight, middleweight or light weight. It turns out that James K. Keene wanted the English liorieOrrmni'e, and is said to 1 ave of fered Don Juan Bocan $.0,000 lor him. Ed Odill has sold to a member of the Parkway Driving club, of Gravesend, Long Island, the bay gelding Billy A 2:18H, by Bay Tom, Jr., for $2,500. A FUECMATIC raddle which can be filled with atr or water Is one of the latest French Inventions. For riding long distances, either on nonei ack ur on a blevcle, &nch a saddle should prove . n ticel lent device. Billy Mcnrirr, the Australian featherweight, has an idea that although be Is A much defoated pugilist, his services are worth as much as a good man. He wants to fight Johnny OrlfHn for$l,K0 a side and a purse, but the Incentive must exceed $5,000.
