PRlNoErON'S FOOTBALL TEAM.
Practice Today Showed Weak Points
Back of the Line.

Practice Today Showed Weak Points
Back of the Line.
PRINCETON. Oct. IL. 1S93.-In ten days
Princston's football team will meet
Cornell at New York in the first big
game of the season. The game is
scheduled two weeks earlier than the
usual date for playing the Ithacans, aud
efforts are being redoubIed here to get
the men in fair playing condition by
October 81.
The practice today was far more en-
couragIng than at any time this season,
but the weak points back of the line were
as noticeable as at the same time last sea-
son. Allen is fast and a good tackler,
but his kicking il far below the mark.
There is some talk Of trying Lea, '95, for
the back position. Lea was the crack
full back for st. PauPs school before
coming to college. His work here has
been for place IN the line, as he was not
needed as full back while Homans was
on the field.
The management have abandoned the
policy Of securing as coachers all who
have ever played on a Varsity football
team. Last season half score or more
of coachers mi ght have.been seen on the
field at a single practice game.
Conflicting theories and policies
represented by. the different advis ers
tended more to perplex than aid the
players. This year less than half dozen
men have been asked to look after the
men. One of them is Cowan, 'S8. the
greatest rusher ever on the Princeton
field, and George. '89, the strongest center
Princeton ever mad.

cars while the other two maintained a
constant firing on the outside. SO much
time had been consumed in robbing the
mail and express cars that the passen-
gers had an opportunity to secrete their
valuables. Little of value was obtained
in the coaches. The robbers appropriate
ed all the overcoats and watches in the
cars. but the sum total of the cash they
secured will approximate less than $780,
Several passengers saved large sums by
hiding their purses under the car seats.
Both Of the men who went through

ing over twenty-three, and had the ap-
pearance of unsophisticated country
youths. When they went through the
sleepers they displayed an utter ignor-

brimmed hats. The gang Is believed to
be the same that attempted to hold up
