J THE, MORNING OREGOmAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31,T 190r; LORG -ORDEAL IS OVER CROSS-KXAMlNATlOX OF ADMIRAL SGHLEY C03IES TO A2f EXD. Jucl(?c-Alvocate-Gcneral "Will That All out Fifteen Witnesses on the Stnnd for Rebuttal. (Continued from First Pace.) July 2, when the suspicious movements were seen In the harbor of Santiago, the witness said he talked -with Captain Coolc about the advisability of coupling up the engines? It -was decided not to do so. He supposed the ship -was always ready for a sortie. Admiral Schley's attention -was called to Captain Cook's testimony that on the night of July 2 he turned In -with no Intimation that the fleet would come out The witness said that Captain Cook's statement was not in any eense Incon sistent with his. He had no Intimation that the fleet would come out. The cross-examination of the witness on the battle of Santiago began with -a. ques tion as to what the flrst move of the Brooklyn's helm was after the enemy's ships were sighted coming out. "I think," said Admiral Schley, "she was lj'Ing with her head to the wrestward of north, and her first movement was to port, bringing her head tip off the enemy." "If you can give it more specifically, would you say it was westward of north or northward of -west? In other words, "was it northward or northwest?" "In my direct testimony I think I said she was headed in the direction of Ca banas, which -was a little cove of the har. bor, and it would be impossible for me to say -whether she was "headed northwest. I merely Judged by the general bearing of the land that It was about northwest," The Brooklyn's Torn. ""I understood you to say that Captain Cook flrst gave the order to port the helm?" "No; that was at a different period of time. He gave the order first to port. Later, when we were making the turn, not at this minute, I think. Mr. Hodgson gave the order" "'But after malting the turn he first gave the order to port the helm, and, if I re member correctly, you did not say whether that was hard aport at first or whether it was simply to port." ""When I asked him. Is your helm hard -aport?' his reply -was either 'Aport or 'Hard aport, but by the way the ship was swinging at that time I assumed that It was .hard aport, because she went around furiously rapid." "Did you regard this as a very Important maneuver?" ""I think It was the movement that de cided the events of that day." "Did you mention this maneuver in your report of the battle?" "No, because I did not know that It was going to be a matter of question. It struck me that as it was merely an incl-dent-ln the battle, we secured an advan tage that could never be questioned." "But you regarded it and directed It as an lmporjtant tactical maneuver?" "Since it has come up for discussion, T regard it as a very important one." "Then, if I -understood you. Captain CoDk, as commanding officer of the Brook lyn, gave this order without consulting "you as Commander-in-Chief?" "Only under his general Instructions in going in. I stated to him what I wanted him to do." "What was that?" "The signal was hoisted for close action, or close -up, and that meant that he was to keep somewhere about 1000 yards from the enemy, so as to be outside of her tor pedo range, broadside torpedo range." "Being on deck and .fully aware of the maneuver, being 6enior officer, do you consider that full responsibility for that snaneiirer rests on "you?" "Absolutely; "because, evemif I dld.-not. give it directly, I approved what the captain did." "Was any order I assume It would have been by signal if given at all given from the Brooklyn with Tegard to the direc tion in which the other vessels of the fleet should turn in order to secure uni formity?" "They had made their turn, and it was to avoid getting Into their cross-fire that the Brooklyn's was made." "And that was the purpose of the loop7" "It was one of the reasons for It. It was to avoid that at a crucial and crit ical time of the battle, when the flreof the battle-ships was so absolutely impor tant. The movement, of course, had two purposes. First, to avoid that; and sec ond, Vo continue the action. The New Tork being entirely absent, the Brooklyn that day had to take a -very important lead, and if we had sacrificed her we might have lost the battle.' "What indication did you give to the other vessels of the fleet to show the di rection In which the Brooklyn was going to turn or was turning?" "I did not make any, because I did not think, we -were on the dangerous proxim ity to any; but, after we turned, signal was made to follow the flag, and they followed it Of course, the direction they should take was Indicated." Order to the Fleet. Asked where he had heretofore, before the beginning of this Inquiry, mentioned that he had during the battle given the signal "follow the flag" Admiral Schley replied: "I think I have kept my mouth pretty close on all these subjects, and do not recall speaking of this incident I dis tinctly -recollect giving the signal, and that it was flying for 20 minutes." "Did the Brooklyn stand in, and attempt to sink the Spanish fleet in the channel?" "I started in at first to help the other vessels and to stop them. I never had any Idea that they would get away." Continuing, he said In reply to ques tions, he estimated that the Brooklyn had .gone in to within from a mile to a mile and a half from the mouth of the harbor and was within range of the shore bat teries. He thought that from 12 to 14 minutes the flagship had been within range of less than 2000 yards from the Spanish ships. "They looked very close," he said. "When the Spanish ships succeeded in .getting out of the harbor without being sunk In accordance with orders, what al ternative was there but to chase them?" "There was no alternative no other course was open, but much depended upon the character of the ehase. Whether It was made in the proper way, and was ef fective was one thing while a poorly con ducted and ineffective blockade would have been another thing." The Admiral said In reply to questions that while several of the vessels had failed to join in the chase, leaving the work after the sinking of the Teresa and the Oquendo to the Brooklyn and Ore gon, this was because they could not follow at the pace set by the Spaniards. At this point Captain Lemly introduced the following paragraph from Admiral Schley's report, dated Guantanamo, July 13. 189S: "Since reaching this place and holding conversation with several of the Captains, viz.: Captain Eulate. of the VIzcaya, and the second In command of the Colon, Com mander Gontrees, I have Jearned that the Spanish Admiral's scheme was to con centrate all fire for awhile on the Brook lyn, and .the "VIzcaya to ram her, In hopes that if they could destroy her the chances of escape would be greater, as it was supposed she was the .swiftest ship of the squadron. "This explains the heavy Are mentioned and the "Vizcaya's action in the earlier movements of the engagement The exe cution of this purpose was promptly de feated by the fact that all the ships of the squadron advanced Into close range and opened an irresistible and terrific fire upon the enemy's squadron as it was com ing out of the harbor." Admiral Schley identified this para graph as a part of his report Expected, a Ramming:. The witness said that before 'the helm of the 'Brooklyn was swung hard aport in order to make the loop, the beta was put alternately to port and starboard, In order to meet the movements of the enemy's ships. "It was difficult," he said, "at that time to say whether they meant to go between the Texas and the Brooklyn or the other way." "You stated in your explanation that on making the turn you did not see the starboard of the Texas?" "I did say so, absolutely." Admiral Schley, in response to a ques tion, said he never heard of the Texas incident until six months after the battle. He had been under the impression until later that the starboard engine of the "Brooklyn was backed to facilitate the turn. He recollected distinctly that he warned Captain Cook, as the enemy ap proached, that they were going to ram him. He was closely questioned as to the order which went below "to stand by to ram." In answer to a question he said he supposed the captain had given the order. He was not certain. His at tention was called to a letter of June 13, 1900, written from the South Atlantic sta tion, in which the Admiral was quoted as saying that the turn was made to avoid the last attempt of the VIzcaya to ram, but as the letter could not be produced at the time, he was not questioned upon it His attention was next called, to his let ter to the Senate. In which he said the turn was made to avoid blanketing the fire of his own ships, and also to his statement in examination in chief that he had not turned to port because to do so would, have brought the ship Into dan gerous proximity to the attack of the enemy's vessels and exposed her to pos sible torpedo attack or ramming. "Now," said Captain Lemly, "here ap pear to be three reasons why you made the turn. Why did you make that turn?" "As I already stated In my direct tes timony,. there Is another very much more Important reason which you have not asked, and that was that the ship might continue in "action and beat the enemy as we did. That was the controlling one of all." "Have you stated that?" asked Captain Lemly. The witness replied: "I never stated that because I thought It was evident I stated it for three or four reasons. We could perhaps conjure up more about it I have tnem in mind. I have stated In relation to the Senate document that the matter was prepared very hurriedly, and here I stated the gen eral purpose the movement was intended to accomplish." "Did you have each of these various reasons in mind at the time?" "Probably all of them and others." The Guantanamo Report. The Judge-Advocate then took up Ad miral Schley's report of the battle made to the Department, dated Guantanamo Bay, July 6t 1S98, and he was questioned concerning the statements made therein, attention being called to the statement that after the "VIzcaya had struck her colors the signal was made to cease fir ing and then the following sentence: "The Oregon having proved vastly faster than the other battle-ships, she and the Brooklyn, together with the Texas and another vessel, which proved to be your flagship, continued westward in pur suit of the Colon, which had run close in shore, evidently seeking some good spot to beach If she should fail to elude her pursuers." "You wrote that?" "Yes," replied Admiral Schley, "and I can explain the whole thing If you will admit a preliminary report that was re turned." ' "I have no objection to your preliminary report unless it comes under the rule that it was not sent" "It was sent and returned." A discussion at once arose between Cap tain Lemly and Mr. Raynor over the ad mlsson of this report which continued for some time. The Judge Advocate charged that Mr. Raynor's purpose was to Interfere with the cross-examination. Admiral Dewey finally put an end to the discussion by saying if there was no ob jection to bringing in the report at another time, It could be brought In at this point Thereupon Captain Xiemly withdrew his point "The damage has already been done," he said. "It is for the purpose of de stroying the order of the cross-examination, and that is now already accom plished. He has already accomplished all the damage he can do." At this point, the hour of 1 o'clock hav ing arrived, the court took a recess for luncheon. After recess Captain Lemly laid before the court Admiral Schley's press copy book containing a copy of his letter em bracing his first report to Admiral Samp son of the battle of Santiago, which had been returned, and there was more con tention between counsel as to the admis sibility of the document as evidence. ThB decision of the court was to the effect that the report could not be read aloud, and was announced through. Admiral Dewey as follows: "The court holds there is no objection to the witness refreshing his memory from the letter, but he cannot read It aloud." Sampson Snppreaed the Report. After further sparring by counsel, Ad miral Schley explained that the original preliminary report of the battle he took to the Commander-in-Chief, and then re turned to the Brooklyn. "Admiral Sampson then signaled for me to come on board again," he said, "which I did, and he handed the report back to me There was nobody but him- fself and myself in the cabin that time, and from the conversation I had with him I wasled to believe " Captain Xiemly We want the conversa tion. The Admiral then recounted his conver sation with. Admiral Sampson, who, he said, handed the letter back to him. with the statement that he (Sampson) was Commander-in-Chief, and that he (Schley) had omitted a very important detail in the report in that it failed to show the pres ence of the New York. "I felt at the time' Admiral Schley went on, "that the victory was big enough for all, and I made the report (his report of the Jbattle, that has been published) out of generosity and because I knew that If the New York had been present she would have done as good work as any other vessel." The regular court of inquiry was then resumed. In response to a question, the witness testified that during part of the battle the Indiana, Gloucester. Texas and Iowa were obscured from the Brooklyn by smoke. "When the Colon surrendered, why did you not take possession of her and aim to save her?" "I sent aboard to receive her surren der and was proceeding to do that very thing when the flagship came up. I am satisfied she was all right when I left for the eastward.' "Where did you obtain your statement In the Senate report that you went 800 yards southward when the Brooklyn's turn was made?" "From the report of the board of offi cers who charted the courses of the ships July 3." The Admiral was asked what conversa tion he had had with Lieutenant-Commander Hodgson on the Brooklyn before the loop was made. He said lie could Tiot recall a single word with Lieutenant Commander Hodgson beyond the remark that the enemy was coming for them and his response to go for them, except some remark about the proximity of the Texas. He did not now recall and had never been able to recall a colloquy. "Did you give out for publication Lieutenant-Commander Hodgson's categorical denial?" "I did." "Did you ,. give out the accompanying letter of explanation V "I did not" The witness stated that he would still say that he had desired to set Hodgson right as well as himself, but be had done nothing in that direction because the department ordered an investigation. At 2:36 P. M. Captain Lemly concluded his cross-examination, which 'had been begun at the beginning of the morning session of Monday. Captain Lemly said: "I have no further questions." He turned to Mr. Raynor, who said: "We have not a single question." "The court has a few questions," said Admiral Dewey. At the conclusion of the cross-examination, there was placed In evidence the telegram sent by Admiral Schley to the dftnartment Julv 10. savlnc 1 eiihcjfnnnA L that he did not desire to assume entire credit tor tne victory of July 3 and that the victory belonged to the fleet under the command of Admiral Sampson. In reply to a question from Captain Parker, he said he had taken this dispatch to Ad miral Sampson, "who stated that he was very glad that I had sent it and thought it was very generous." "Who was generous?" "I, of course." Questions by the -Court. The questions of the court, with Ad miral Schley's answers, were as follows: wane on uienruegos, could you see the shore to the westward of the en trance so distinctly that you were able to form a clear idea of the practicability of making a landing place?" 'Yes, I think I did.-" "Was there any Teason why you could not send a boat inshore to obtain Informa tion about Cervera's squadron from the fishermen or other persons who could be communicated with?" "There were no fishermen that I dis covered anywhere along that coast. I saw none. I saw no boats." "Lieutenant Hood testifies very posi tively to a conversation you had with him at Clenfuegos. Can you say If any such conversation took place?" "I stated under a mistake that it was Lieutenant Wood, the names being so nearly alike, but what I testified to In my direct testimony touching that matterr ap plies with equal force to Lieutenant Hood. I cannot recall one single word that Mr. Hood said to me or any conversation I had with him." "Had Admiral Cervera left Santiago for some point to the westward at the time you left 'Clenfuegos, could not his squad ron have passed between your ships and the shore without being seen by you?" "If It had been night, probably yes; in the daytime, I think not." "What was your reason for going over twenty miles to thismitliw.ir f San tiago, instead of direct to the harbor's mouth, May VST "Because I laid the course for that point, supposing that If the squadron were still out or had got out coincident with my leaving, then they would run to the southward, with the view of giving me a larger horizon." "Was It not possible for your squadron to blockade Santiago on May 26 for a few days and stllr have coal enough to run to Key West?" "Yes, if I had known then, as I knew subsequently, that the fleet was there." "Did not the order under which you were acting require you to remain off Santiago?" "Possibly, yes; but I do not think that the order given me was to deprive me of all discretion in the matter if I heard to the contrary." "Was not the situation at Santiago May 26 such as to warrant you In talcing con siderable risk in coaling the ships of your squadron?" "I think that the risks would have been very great, would have been too great, In my judgment We probably would have lost the collier, and, under the circum stances of my information there, I felt that that ought not to occur." Coaling: of he "Scouts. "Did not Captain Cotton in form you that the Harvard had coaled at Mole St. Nich olas, and that one large ship at a time could coal there In ordinary weather'." "No; I do not recall that I did not re member that he said anything about coal ing at Mole St Nicholas. His informa tion to me referred mainly to small ves sels, as I recollect It." Admiral Benham He said nothing about the Harvard coaling, did he? "I do not remember that h rUrt." "Were the injuries to the Merrlmac's engines, as reported to you, of such a character as to convince you she was hopelessly disabled?" "Yes; tliey reported to me that her in termediate valve stem was broken. Of course, not being an engineer, I took it for granted that she was hopelessly dis abled. I sent the chief engineer on board the next morning, early, and he reported to me that her repairs would require some time." "What was your object in seeking to develop the batteries, May 31?" "Simply to be able to know what was in front of us. I thought we ought to know that, in view of the possibility of our having to be obliged to force the en trance." , "Did you not risk having some of the vessels of your squadron Injured In mak ing the attack May 31?" "I thought that was remote at the range I had chosen." "Are you sure that the prevailing wind near Cape Cruz during: the month of May was west and southwest?" "I thought so, because that was the conclusion of the pilot Of course, I know very little about t, and I think any one who reads sailing directions don't get very much comfort out of them." "You have stated that vrtu rrtnzriereri the movement to the westward May 26 as based on sound military principle. Why, then, did you go back to Santiago?" "For the reason, as I stated, that, after the steaming radius of the ships had been equalized, the time consumed In going back would be very little, and that, if it eventuated in the fact that the squadron was not there, we would not have to stay a very great time." "As the scouts were acting Independ ently and could coal when they pleased, why was their shortage of coal a matter of anxiety to you?" "Simply because they came, together un der my .command and I, as trie senior offi cer, had to assume authority for them ana ineir movement. "Please point out the particular parts of the department's order of May 25 which you regarded as ambiguous.'. , (Reads): " 'All of the department's in formation indicates Spanish division still at Santiago.' The following paragraph In dicates that there was doubt of the fact. They required me to ascertain, or sug gested that I ascertain, that. Then again (reading), 'The Cubans who are familiar with Santaigo say that there are landing places five or six nautical miles west That location was at this time, accord ing to the Information I got subsequently, occupied by Spaniards. Again (reading)', As soon as ascertained, notify the de partment whether enemy Is there.' Those were the main things that occurred to me as being ambiguous." "When operating in squadron, has any one authority to change the course of the flagship without the direct order of the Commander-in-Chief, except to meet some sudden emergency when there Is not time to report to the Commander-in-Chief?" No." "What reason had you for supposing that the Spanish squadron would run south after leaving Santiago?" "Simply because that would have been the direction in which they could have bidden themselves sooner." Left Key West Short of Coal. "Why did the Brooklyn and Massachu setts leave Key West on May 19 short of coal?" "Because of the order of the Command. er-ln-Ohief. He sent over to me on the morning of the 19th a young officer, I do not recall his name, with instructions and the orders under which I acted, saying that the Commander-in-Chief thought it would be wise to go at once, or better to go at once." "Was there any shortage of coal at Key West on May 18?" "That, of course, I do not know. 1 do not know what the supply was there." "As you were ordered to go to Cienfue gos to establish a blockade, was it not your duty, under the circumstances, to communicate direct either by signal or otherwise with the senior officer of the vessels returning from Clenfuegos and ob tain from him all information retrardlnsr the situation at or near that port, par ticularly as there was the probability! that the said senior officer had knowledge of the destination of the flying squadron?" "McCalla testified that he directed him to communicate to me information of the situation, and I, of course, took It for granted that If he had anything import ant he would have notified me of the fact without my inquiring." "Did the flying squadron, when on block ade off Clenfuegos, ever steam In to ward the port between 8 P. M. 'and 4 A. M?" "My general impression now is that the steaming of the squadron was principally in a direction to the southward and west ward, to prevent us from drifting in. We maintained, or tried to maintain, a position closer at night than In the day time." "What effort did you make at or near Clenfuegos before the arrival of the Ad 'ula to discover whether or not Admiral Cervera's squadron was in that port?" "1 did not make any, because I was led to Infer that the coast was occupied and that to have sent in a party would have brought disaster to them. I knew of the cable-cutting expedition and I knew fhat Captain McCalla had lost quite a .number of men, and I supposed that the coast was occupied. I saw evidence once or twice." "Did any of your light vessels scout be tween the flying squadron and the south coast of Cuba 'with the view of discov ering the Spanish squadron in the event of its having left Santiago for Cienfue-' gos.'" "No." The SIgflbee Report. "Did you consider Captain Slgsbee's re port that he had not seen the Spanish squadron and the Pilot Nunez statement that the Spanish ships were too large to enter the harbor of Santiago, proof that the Information given you by Captain Mc Calla on May 24 that the Spanish force under Cervera had been reported authori tatively in Santiago on May ID and that they were still reported there on the af ternoon of May 24 was erronecfus?" "I do not recollect that he gave me that; If he did I do not recollect it at all." "If you were governed in making the retrograde movement by the motives you have stated here, why did you send to the department the dispatch of May 27, 1898, which you gave to Captain Cotton to send in cipher from Kingston?" "That is a very difficult question to answer." Admiral Ramsay You gave four mo tives for the retrograde movement. Those motives do not appear clear to me. "I telegraphed mainly regarding the coal supply, because r Imagined that that would be the most important motive, in view of the fact that the ships might not have a sufficient coal supply. I do not know that I gave any reasons for ft. I did, in a subsequent dispatch to the de partment, stating that the movement to the westward had been for a certain ob ject" "When you designated the New Orleans as one of the vessels to take part in the bombardment of May 31, did you know the range of her six-inch guns? Captain Folger has testified that the New .Or leans fired at ranges varying from 8Q00 to 10,000 yards." "Yes. I knew that the guns were ot extra caliber; I think of about 50 cali ber, and that their range was very much longer than the shorter guns of 40 cali ber." ( "If "It were our Intention, on May 31, to open fire with three vessels only with a view of developing the batteries, why dld you, at 11:20 A. M. of that date, make signal to the squadron. 'The Massachu setts, "New Orleans and Iowa will go in after dinner to a distance of 7000 yards and fire at the Crlstobol Colon with eight, 10, 12 and 13-inch guns, speed about 10 knots'?" "I Intended that the heavier guns', of course, should be directed at the Colon, and afterward I determined to make an other signal to the New Orleans when I got-on board, which I did." "During the engagement of May 31 could you tell whether those heavy pro jectiles came from the batteries or from the ships in the port?" Result of the Reconnolssance. "I judged mainly by the range, and as I saw two or three, 1 imagined or supposed that the heavier ones, which passed us far beyond, must have been from a very much heavier caliber than those in the battery. I thought at that time, after the reconnolssance, that the guns in the battery were six or possibly eight-Inch, and I think that was a fact that there were eight-Inch mortars there, and I in ferred from the longer range of several shots that went outside that they must have come from the Zocapa battery." "You have spoken of the caliber of the guns on the ships engaged in the battle of July 3. Did not some of these ships carry six-Inch guns?" "I think the Texas did. I don't remem ber about the others." "Was the conversation with Captain Cook regarding cbupllng up the Brook lyn's engines held on July 2 or July 3?" ''My recollection now is that it was on the 2d, in my cabin." "Could you not obtain from the chief engineer of the Brooklyn definite Infor mation as to the nature of the Merrlmac's injuries?" "He explained to me, as I said, the next day that they were serious, and that it would take a long time to repair them; but as soon as ,1 found that she could use her own engines, we made use of them." "Where could the Spanish squadron have taken refuge by steering south after leav ing Santiago?" "They could not have taken refuge. They could have got, of course, to Ja maica, but I should Imagine that they could have gone, after skirting around me, to the westward, to Havana, knowing that the fleet of Admiral Sampson had gone cast" The court having concluded its ques tions, Captain Lemly said he wanted to propound one or two questions. He asked: "Did your chief engineer report to you at any time that the Merrlmac was hope lessly disabled?" "I think he said -It would depend upon the possibility of repairing her intermedi ate valve, and that they would determine whether they could work, her compound In the meantime. "Did he or did he not report definitely some time, or a long time, as the period necessary to repair the Merrlmac's en gines?" , "I don't know that he reported exactly the time, except that It was 'Indefinite. 1 do not think -he knew himself when the repairs would be completed." The examination of Admiral Schley was concluded at 3:03 P. M., and he was ex cused. There being no further witnesses present, the court, at 3:10 P. M., adjourned until 11 o'clock tomorrow. THE SUPPRESSED REPORT. Admiral Schley's Statement, "Which Was Returned to Him by Sampson. WASHINGTON, Oct 30. It Is learned tonight that the original and unpublished report of Admiral Schley of the battle off Santiago - to Admiral Sampson, re ferred to in the proceedings before the court of Inquiry today, was of a prelim inary character, and differed from that subsequently made, in that it omitted mention altogether of the .cruiser New York and that it also requested that Ad miral Sampson have the commanding of ficers or, Captains of the. vessels engaged transmit to him (Schley) their detail ac counts of the action, in order that he might write a full and complete official report of the battle. The report Is dated "Off San'tlago, July 3," and Is addressed to Admiral Sampson, Commander-in-Chief of the North Atlantic Station. The report in substance describes the coming out of the Spanish fleet from the harbor of Santiago, and calls attention to the fact that signals-were made to the vessels of the American fleet, which were obeyed by all the ships. It then, proceeded to describe the fight, and gives briefly the part played in It by each one of the ships, showing that the Brooklyn, the Oregon, the Texas and the Iowa remained In action until the VIzcaya went ashore, and TBAOt Brakfest rood -7 sassfe-ot n;::'oti ONE TRIAL WILL PROVE IT The Most Delicious The Most Nutritious The Most Healthful The Most Useful OFALL BREAKFASTCEREALS that the Colon surrendered to the Brooklyn and the Oregon.

California Defeated Nevada by a Score of 12 to O. -BERKELEY, Cal.Toct. 30. The Univer sity of Nevada lost a hard-fought game to"" the University of California by a score of 12 to 0. All California's points were made in. the second half. Fierce playing marked both halves and an unusual num ber of. men were crippled and forced out of the game. Both teams were evenly matched. In the flrst half, the Nevad ans held the Callfornlans In magnificent style, the latter being visibly weak at guard and tackle. In the second part of the game the home team's weak places were strengthened, while Nevada went to pieces. The visitors relied mainly on straight bucks for advances, while the home team proved to be vastly superior in punting abilities. A sensational fifty yard run by Whipple, of Berkeley, earned the flrst touchdown. Overall kicked the goal. Captain Womble, of Berkeley, made the second touchdown with an end run. Overall again kicked a goal. R. C. Gordon, manager of the University of Princeton football team, has wired I. J. Muma for a game with the University of California Christmas. California's ac ceptance will depend upon the outcome of the contest with Stanford University next Saturday. Columbia, 20; Haverford, 0. NEW YORK, Oct 30.
