urn vex aity iwtuaii itima mci on
i
Franklin field this afternoon for their j
annual contest. Each year the same j
between these teams is the feature- of
Thanksgiving day in this city, and a
great crowd is always on hand to see
them battle for victory. Probably the
largest crowd that has ever looked
upon the two elevens on Franklin field
was .present when the ball was kicked
off. Weather conditions were rather
disappointing, the sky toeing dull and
the air raw in the morning, but as the
day wore on the sun made gratifying
attempts to break through the cloud.
Before the game began the home
team, of courseruled favorite at odds
of 2 to t, but there was very little Cor- i
nell money in sight.

The game was easily won by Penri-

sensational incident of the game was a
fifty-five yard run for a touchdown by
Potter, Pennsylvania's half back, Ju3t
before the gattie closed.
THE INDIANS LOSE.
New Yorsv Nov. 29. The football
season was brought to a close here this
afternoon in a game between Columbia
university and the Carlisle Indians.
The latter were vanquished by a score
of 17 to 6. More than 12,000 persons
witnessed the game. The victory of
Columbia was due to her superb play
ing from the start. But for a blunder
committed by Captain Morley of Co
lumbia the Indians would have been
easily whitewashed. The Indians, who
had a lighter team than usual, were
subjected to a severe hammering.
GEORGETOWN-NORTH CAROLINA
Special to the Gazette.
Washington, Nov 29. The Univer
sity of North Carolina football team
met the wearers of the gray of George
town college this afternoon in a game
of football, the first one in several
years, and the meeting between the
two giants in sou'thern football was one
long to be remembered. Neither side
was able to score, and the game was
one of the most desperate ever .played
in the District of Columbia. The
backers of the team, from Georgetown
thought that-North Carolina would be
vanquished In an easy manner owing
to their inability to do anything with
"Virginia last Saturday, and to say that
they were surprised at the magnificent
game put up hy the Tar Heels otf y j
expresses It mildly. Two weeks ago
the wearers of the gray outplayed the
team from Charlottesville at every
stage of the game, winning handily by
a score of 10 to 0. TaKing this as a
criterion it was thought that tne
Chapel Hill students would fall easy
victims "to the home team.
Both teams played brilliantly but so
splendid was their defensive playing
that it was impossible for either one to
do anything in the way of scoring, and
the game wound up 0 to 0. This vir
tually ties the two . teams for the
southern charoplonishp, each one sus
talnlng one defeat his season, George
town having been vanquished by the
middles of the naval academy an4
North 'Carolina, losing to Virginia last
-Saturday. A large crowd "witnessed
the " con test which was played on the
Georgetown campus..

INDEMNITY.
Constantinople. Nov. 29. The arrival
of the United States battleship Ken
tucky at Smyrna has so shaken up

accumulating of a desire to hasten
a settlement to the satisfaction or tne
United States.-
An irade has been issued calling for
the purchase of a cruiser at Philadel
phia, the price for which Is to include
the $90,000 Armenian indemnity. This
is regarded as a subterfuge designed
for local consumption in order to save
the face of the porte. Nevertheless it
is now believed that Turkey will find
the money and order the cruiser in th
hope of propitiating the United States.
Despite ' the dispute, v relations be

THE HORRIBLE DEATH SCENE

San Francisco, Nov. 29. While 16,000
people were watching the football game
between the Stanford and Berkeley
teams today the roof of the San Fran
cisco and Pacific Glass works, on which
several hundred men were congregat
ed for the -purpose of obtaining a free
view, collapsed, carrying more than a
hundred men and boys down upon the
white hot furnace below. Eleven are
reported dead and more than forty n
jured, fifteen of whom will die. .
The furnace was directly underneath
the portion of the roof which gave
way. It is a brick structure, and the
top is a curved surface. The exterior
heat on the top of this furnace at the
time of the accide'nt is said to have
been 500 degrees Fahrenheit. This is
where at least fifty fell when the roof
caved. -When the alarm of the disas
ter was sounded many of the employes
and outsiders ran to the scene. On the
top of this glowing furnace lay two

agony, some were aiunnea aner Lnn.-
