He is even smaller in staure than liis eider brother, and was probably the greatest light-weight player that ever lived. He made the team In 1889, and is the only member of the family to have won an election to the captaincy. It was against Harvard that he won his laurels. In the game of 1889, when the score at the of the first half favored Harvard, 15 to 10, Captain Poe aroused his men to such an extent that In the second half Princeton rolled up 31 points, and the game ended 41 to 15. The next of the brothers to enter the university was John P.

Poe, Jr. "Johnnie" was the familiar name he was given In college, although In recent years he has been known more prominently as Coach Poe on account of his great faculty of Imparting his knowledge of the game to others. Jle was half back In 1891, his freshman year, and his pjaying was similar to that of the other boys In their peculiar ability to tackle and follow the ball. He is an exceedingly popular man by reason of his wit and bright He did not become a star in the sense that Edgar Allan and Arthur Eoe have, done, but has been mainly valuable to Princeton because of his advice. Nelson Poe, who followed "Johnnie," In college, also a co'ach of distinction.

He entered Princeton In 1893, and during the entire four years of his course was on tke scrub or 'varsity team at half and quarter-back. Before the big championship game against Yale at the heightNf bis football career he was hurt and played only a part of the game. This year he has been an advisory coach at the University of Illinois. The great feats of Arthur Poe are recent In-the 1898 games against Yale his run of ninety-five yards made him the most conspicuous man of the year in football. It gave Princeton the game.

Columns have been written upon that historic run, He got the ball on a fumble and the score was called a fluke, but Arthur Poe Is. a great fol lower of the ball. He always 1 ad hlsv eyes on it, ana bis watchfulness gave him the opportunity of his life. The fact that he was asked to kick goal in the last few seconds of the game Saturday and succeeded was a great surprise. He has never been known as a kicker, and it may have been that in desperation Princeton fell back on the traditional Poe brilliancy that has been so disastrous to Yale.

Arthur Poe will be graduated next June. The rising member of the family, Gresham N. Poe, who began his college course In 1898, shows the same ability at football as his elder brothers. He will likely be a strong candidate for the team next year. All ot the Poe boys are talented and bright.

They are popular and are welcomed In the best society both in their home city and tn cqHege circles. It would be a dull day tn football this year that did not see at least one favorite left at the post or passed at the wire. Cornell has beaten Princeton and Yale has lost to Columbia).

Arthur Poe of Princeton, whose superb goal from field defeated Yale last Saturday, Is the fifth successive brother to bring honor to Nassau on the gridiron. The name of Poe has been illustrious It football since 18S2, and only one of the family remains who has not been a member ol a tiger eleven. He Is Gresham N.

Poe, now a sophomore at Princeton and a prom-, lslng candidate for next year's team. The Ave brother of Arthur Poe sat In the grand stand at Yale when he performed his great feat, and four of them knew the glory of having beaten old Ell. There 13 a marked resemblance between the brothers in physical appearance. All are small of stature, whn measures five feet. 'seven- Inches in height and weighs 142 pounds, is known as tne giani oi family.

Those of the brothers who have played the game In the present decade handle themselves very much alike. The rudiments of the game were mastered to a finishing point by mh nf their remarkable 1 v- success is attributed to this fact The faculty of being proncieni in xne minor points has been handed down from brother to brother since S. Johnson Poe. the oldest of the group, first gained a place on a Princeton team. The Poes come from an honored family.

The father Is John P. Poe of Baltimore, who' was graduated from Princeton In 1854, and who is a noted lawyer In the State of Maryland. He Is of the same stock and closely related, through a former generation, to Edgar Allan Poe, the -poet. In fact, the second son Is named after his Illustrious relative. The sons are all as bright mentally as they are brilliant In athletic performances and no Poe has ever been censured for failure to attend to studies because be decotd too much tlm to athletics.

The first of the football heroes was S. Johnson Poe, of the class of 1884. He had played the game before going to college, and readily made the position of the team, His great est work on the gridiron was against Yale on Field In New York .004 nt lila onmnant build he was chosen to carry the ball time and again over a nair-rrosen, naii- watery field, and, although his team too much time to athletics. trimmed Corsets, must be at least one, or the season will not have been consistent. Already the talk has begun as to the Eastern championship, and Princeton is urging its claims because it won from Yale and.

Yale tied Harvard, which beat Pennsylvania. As a matter of fact the championship appears to be in a hopeless muddle, that will be all the mere complicated by Pennsylvania defeating Cornell Thursday. As It stands, Princeton bas been defeated, and no team in that condition can have an undisputed right to first honorB. Of course it beat Yale, which now has two defeats and one tie game to its credit not a very creditable record for a first class team but could the Tigers win from Harvard? Cornell, if it had beaten Lafayette and ended the season by victory at Philadelphia would have the best claim to ths Eastern championship. Lafayette has won from Pennsylvania and defeated Cornell, but the former looked very like an accident, and the latter was only by a goal kicked after a touchdown against a crippel team, so that the record of the Eastern team does not seem to entitle it to first place, even though Its record has been of the best.

As It stands Harvard Is the only unbeaten team. Any way, it is a fruitless discussion, that ir. pursued too far will yield headaches ana muauied thoughts, but little more. FITZ AND JULIAN FIGHT. Fists Were Used and a Pistol Was Flashed.

Chicago, Dec. 2. The News says: Ex-Champion Robert Fitzslmmons and his old-time manaerer Martin Julian have parted company. This resulted after a bitter quarrel in the pugilist's room ai me snerman House last night, In which fists were freely swung and a revolver displayed. iFitzsimmons left for New York today vowing he was done with Julian for good.

Thlj disagreement comes after a series of misunderstandings. According to the stories of both men, It grew out of Fltzsimmon's Inaballty to obtain a box at the Lyric theatre during a crowded period. Julian is Interested In the Lyric. The pugilist it is said, made certain remarks of an uncomplimentary nature concerning the Lyric and Julian took him to task. After a little talk Julian slapped the big fellow's face and the fighter swung on his manager's eye, skinning It slightly and raising a bump.

Fitzslmmons declares that Julian drew a revolver and that he chased him out of the room. Julian Insists that it was Bob who drew the pistol. Buhlln Whips McCormack. Chicago-, Dec. Buhlln easily defeated Jack McCormack of Philadelphia in a six-round go at Tattersall's tonight.

West Point Gets Three Touchdowns and a Couple of Goals While Annapolis Gets the Ball Over just Before the Last Half is Out.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2. The West P)int football team defeated Annapolis on Franklin Field this afternoon in a hard-foughtbattle, 17 to 5. The soldiers won because they played better football. They were masters of the situation all through with the exception of the last few moments of the contest, when the middies, by a mighty effort, managed to score a touchdown.

It seemed as though every army and naval officer stationed at Washington was present. The Pres4dent's cabinet was represented by Secretary Root and Secretary Long. The two cabinet officers received a great ovation when they entered the grounds. Secretary Root and his party occupied a box on the army side of the field, while Secretary Long watched the game from the naval side. Between the halves Secretary Long was escorted across the ifleld and congratulated Secretary Root on the good work done by his boys.

This little Incident started a great hurrah, in which the yells of the West Point and Annapolis cadets were mixid with the lond. loud roar of the Pennsylvania stulents, who were massed on the west stand. Over 27,000 persons Saw the contest. The army was well represented. There were Major-Generals, Colonels, Lieutenant-Colonels, Majors, Captains, Lieutenants and privates scattered all trrough the crowd.

Among those pres-en were Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen. Rear Admirals O'Nell and Sogers, and Captaih Robley D. Evans, Colonel Denby of the Marine Corps, Governor Voorhees of Nay Jersey and Mayor Ashbridge of this' city. Captain Smith of WestPoint won the toss and he choso the west goal, with the wind slightly in his Line plunges and spins around the ends brought the ball to the. MlddleB forty' yard mark.

Then the West Point half backs were sent against the Annapolis line steadily until the ball was only five yards from a touchdown. On tho next play Fullback Johnson was pushed over the line for' the first touchdown. BettNon kicked goal. Neither side scored again during the half, thnueh the ball was taken to the Soldiers' 10-yard line, the Middles los ing It there on downs. The Sailors started In the second half by reaching the Soldiers' 25-yard line.

There they lost ball and without losing once, the Soldiers pushed the Sailors baeif to the middle of the field and from there right over the Annap-blls goal line. After almost every scrimmage a Sailor-would be laid out. Rockwell, who took Clark's place, made the touchdown and Batttson kicked the goal. -Boon afterward the Army started her line bucking again and did Just as she had done a few moments previous, carrying the ball to and over the Navy's goal line without losing It or being stopped In her progress. Rockewell also made this touchdown but Battlsnn failed to kick a difficult With the score 17 to 0.

the Sailors saved themselves a whitewash by CQUIEE In the South the situation Is not so tonpiicated tha championship of the Southern Intercollegiate Association -wis settled here Thursday when Se-anee wor. from Auburn by a score of 11 to 10. There was not the faintest scintilla of a doubt that both teams were clearly entitled to fight for championship honors. Both have undoubtedly the best football teams that ever played In the South, and up to Thursday aelther had been defeated this season. In the South interest In football has srewn at an amazing rate this season, and that one game Thursday has done more for the popularity of the sport in this section of the United States than all the other games of the football searon.

It has also demonstrated clearly that here In Montgomery Is the logical place for holding the championship game at the end of the season, and hereafter the Thanksgiving championship game will be an annual affair. Next year the phenomenal attendance at Thursday's game will be more than doubled, and the enormous crowd will he something" that has never before hwn seen in the South. By next year Jhe grounds will, In. all probability, be located at Pickett Springs, the new electric road, it is thought, will be completed by that time, and people will "ft again be compelled to fight for the privilege of hanging to a strap In one ot the rickety cigar boxes called by courtesy street cars, as was the disgraceful case Thursday. And again there will be better accommodations-, larger grand-stand, larger bleachers, i4 all, while a stout fence around the neld will effectually prevent a repetition of crowds swarming on the fleia aner exciting plays, as was the case inursday.

That wire fence was like a Phantom affair, and was no more capable of holding the crowds back from ISe .1 "nes lhan lf 11 had been a Plece "'tissue paper. Another thing that In 'i Probability will be changed next thanksgiving will be the old custom sponsors for the two teams. The useless custom Is rapidly dying out all ver the country, and in the East It "as been as dead as a codfish for years.
