In Belgium, in France, to the east in Galicia. and Russian Poland and in the Caucasion regions fighting is progressing with varying degrees of intensity, but there was little In the way of authenticated news to indicate noteworthy changes in the fortunes of any of the contending nations. Rumors of the sinking of the British superdreadnought Audacious more than a fortnight ago were confirmed by mail advices. The French War Office, in to-day s official statement, again asserted that | minor successes had been won in Bel gium. but in the main the great battle for possession of the northern seacoast of France apparently is proceeding on about the same lines as heretofore. Near Nieuport, on the North sea. in tha region of Ypres. and between La Bas see and Arras, close to the border, suc cesses by the allies are reported, either in the way of repulsing German attacks or making slow advances. German military authorities made no modification of their previous asser tions that their forcee were slowly pushing onward at various points in Belgium. Unofficial advices from Ber-1 lin showed that the German people were I increasingly optimistic on account of the latest reports from the front. A j military critic at Berlin draws from the capture of French prisoners near Nienport the conclusion that the suc cessive shocks of battle have almost cut tutlnH m Eleventh Pact, HAKKISBI'KQ.

Bowman said to-day, to cut down the millage rate as compared with that of the present year. Some Commissioners had intimated an increase will be nec essary. When the tax levy ordinance, which will soon be introduced in skeleton form along with the budget bill, is taken under consideration, Xlr. Browu declared he will move to fix the tax rate at 9 mills instead of 9 1-2, the rate that has prevailed for several years. Mr. Bowman argues that con ditions warrant decrease in the mill age; that the City's present lack of ready cash was brought about by the provisions of the Clark commission form of government bill, and he insists that even an increase in the tax rate for 1915 cannot provide the needed cash for next August. "We are up against it, both be cause of the change in the beginning of the fiscal year—from April to Jan uary I—and the extension of the tax year —from July 1 to August I—and our only way out, as I see it," said Mr. Bowman, "is to borrow money (•■tlaur4 Sixth I'sce. v YALE, 19; TIGERS, 0; 3RD PERIOD Fine Autumn Weather Greets Thousands Who Clamor to See Big Gridiron Game 40TH MEET OF GREAT RIVALS Princeton Crowded With Old Gradu ates Who Came Back to See the Struggle and to Meet Comrades of Their Youthful Days By Associated Press. Prinvcton, Nov. 14.—Tho Yale squad was first on tho field shortly aft er 1.30 and was followed almost im mediately by the Princeton cheering squad, which, headed by a baud, pa raded around the hold. The Princeton teajn came on the field at 1.52, amid the cheers of the Tiger supporters. Yale won the toss. Yale scored in the first period on a forward pass, but the try for goal failed. Yale, 6; Princeton, 0. Tigers Kept on Defensive During the first quarter Princeton was kept almost entirely on the de fensive by Yale's open field attack. The Tigers defense proved just as in adequate to this method of offense as against Harvard's close formation plays a week ago. Princetou was forced to punt frequently and Driggs was out distanced by L«egore in his punting duels. Princeton Completely Outplayed During the first half of the game Yale completely outplayed Princeton on the offense. Using forward and lat eral passes, cleverly mixed with short line plunges and end ruus just outside tackle, the Blue constantly forced the ball into the Tigers' territory. The Princeton defense against the ordinary line and wing tip charges at times proved sufficient to hold the Blue iu check. Whenever this occurred, however, Yale immediately turned in another forward or lateral pass, with the result that in a majority of cases another first down was scored. Both touchdowns came as a direct result of these wide open and overhead plays. Legore constantly outpunted Driggs in the exchange of kicks and Prince ton 's policy of returning these punts on the first or second lineup gave little opportunity to gauge the offensive strength of Princeton against Yale dur ing the first thirty minutes of play. In the second period Yale scored an other touchdown. Score: Yale, 13; Princeton, 0. Yale scored a third touchdown in the third period but failed to kick this goal. Score: Yale, 19; Princeton, 0. Princeton, X. J., Nov. 14.—Fine au tumn weather greeted the thousands of followers of the great game of football who jammed into this historic place to day to see the annual contest between those old rivals, Vale and Princeton. The town was crowded last night with old graduates back to see the struggle and to meet the comrades of their youthful days. The added seating ra panritv afforded in the new stadium and the increased transportation facilities induced a greater crowd to come to Princeton than ever before and the town was simply packed. It was the fortieth meeting of the representatives of Yale and Princeton. Last year's game resulted in a 3-3 tie, 90 neither team had revenge in its heart to-day, but was determined to win. Retting favored Vale, The Tiger ad herents were unwilling to plaice any money without odds. The Vale players who spent the night at Now Brunswick came into Princeton by automobiles during the morning. They also wore re ported in excellent condition. The Vale men were somewhat handicapped by reason of the fact that they have their big game with Harvard next Saturday and were not inclined to show all thev know about the game. Therefore they were not expected to uncover all their plays unless it became necessary to win or stave off defeat. The line-up: As the Teams Lined Up Yale.

Overshadowed Other Contests New York, Nov. 14.—The annual meeting between Yale and Princeton in the ue* Palmer stadium at Princeton o\ ershadewed all other gridiron con tests in the Kas' to day, although the Dartmouth-Pennsylvania game at Phil i detphia and the Brown Harvard con test at Cambridge gave promise of keen sport and surprises were predicted that may serve to further complicate eastern football statistics for 1914. In the season's scores Vale has done better than the Tigers. The New Ha ven team has piled up 159 points in seven games, as- against 73 for Prince ton in the same number of contests. Both teams have been defeated, Vale falling before Washington and Jeffer son and the Tigers being humbled by Harvard. In Dartmouth, the Pennsyl vania team meets an opponent well in the fore rank of eastern teams and fre quently accounted one of the three strongest, so that a repetition of last year's victory over the Quakers is not unexpected. Other Interesting Games Results from two inter-sectional gajnes will be awaited with interest in the East. Cornell meets Michigan at Ann Arbor and a hard, fast struggle is expected. Carlisle plays Notre Dame at Chicago. Other games of the Kast to-day follow: Army vs. Maine, at West Point. Navy vs. Colby, at Annapolis. Syracuse vs. Colgate, at Syracuse.

Wilkes-Barre had by far the heavier team, but Steelton put up a plucky defense. Wilkes-Barre scored first in the first period, making a touchdown and kick ing the goal. In the second period SteeUon scored 7 points. In the third the superior weight of the visitors be gan to tell and they scored seven more points. In the fourth and final period, Steelton made a determined effort and ran up seven more points but Wilkes- Barre added 13 to its total, making the final result, 27 to 14.

Play in the rest of the quarter was in Gettysburg's territory, Bucknell being on the offensive. The largest crowd of the season wit nessed the game. There were about 2,500 "fans" on the Island. Ilarrisburg witnessed a college foot ball game to day with all the usual trimmings. It was the annual struggle between the Gettysburg and Bucknell teams and the respective colleges left, nothing unturned to give llarrisburg a taste of the real football atmospliere. Before 11 o'clock this morning the city was in possession of the colle-o hordes who invaded in great numbe s to music furnished bv student bunds. More than 500 Gettysburgians, follow ing a band under Robert Philsqn. a senior, marched lip Market street\iri>ji. the railroad station to the Common wealth hotel where the team Was qua • I tered. They had no sooner got settled when Bucknell, with a yell and a college band, said to be as good as any college baud in the business, came on the | boards. They marched to Market square, I countermarched to Third street and then ! went to the Columbus hotel, the Bu.'k nell headquarters, where a '-oncert was given from the postoffice lawn.

"Eddie" Flank With the Rooters Gettysburg won out early this morn ing in mustering up celebrities. "Get tysburg Eddie" Plank, who just, now occupies more space on the sporting pages than any individual outside of Charles Weeghman and Garry Herr mann, accompanied the Gettysburg team here. He was uncommunicative about the visit of Arthur Irwin, the Yankee's scout, who saw "liddie" at his home yesterday. George Cockill. the coach of the Bucknell team, was perhaps the most noted of the T.ewis'burg crowd. He is manager of the Harrisburg Tri-State baseball club. He mustered his football crow in the hotel, away from the noise and bustle of the cheering sections, and waited for the time for his men to dress for the game. Coach Cwckill said he had some crip ples on his team. Before the game the manager said Topham, the fullback. W'lio was injured in practice Thursday, would sitart to play, but he was not expected to last out the struggle. It was announced Davis would go in at fullback in case Topham had to retire. Gdanic, too, was seriously cri-pled be fore the game, being unaible to use his left arm. It. was planned for him to be in uniform, however, ready to get into the game if it was deemed necessary. Edwards was picked to start the game in Gdanic's place at left halfback. RECTOR SERIOUSLY ILL Service to Be Held as Usual, However, at St. Andrew's Church The illness of the Rev. .lames F.
