London, Nov. 14. 9.35 A. M.—The
Turks, in ao >fficial communication giv

LATE WAR NEW SUMMARY
Seldom since the beginning of the
war have the reports from the various
scenes of action been so contradictory
as was the case to-day. 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

Despite the fact that some of the

that even an increase in the tax rate

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:

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.

The Steelton High school football
tea-m was defeated on the Steelton
grounds this afternoon by the team of
the Wilkes-Barre High school by the
score of 27 to 14. 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,

Was Seriously Hurt in Practice,

Injuries—"Eddie'' Plank a Rooter
In the game between Bucknell and
Gettysburg on the Island this afternoon
neither side had scored at the end of
the first, quarter.
Bucknell kicked off, Scheffer making
30 yards before he was stopped. Schei'-
fer missed tin ball on the next play,
Bucknell recovering it.
On a succession of plays Bucknell
could not make a first down. Tophaiu
tried for a goal from placement, but
tailed. Bucknell tried twice more to
make tield goals but was unsuccessful.
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. Fred
FaTringer, a Bocknejl senior, as lively
and vivacious as Creatore over was,
led his thirty-five musicians through
a maze of late music.
"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.
