H.RvAsD's CRiPrLrD CONDITION
Trainer Lathrop's crop OF invalids at
Harvard has made the practice there
rather amusing this week. The Cambridge
men have played no games because they
have virtually no team 10 play with.
Never before have they been in such a
lamentable state four weeks before the
Yale game. Three broken collar bones,
one broken leg, ane splintered rib. one
set OF teeth knocked out, one twisted
leg resulting In water on the knee, ana
three spraned ankles is now the melan-
choly aggregate Of injuries. The men
whom Harvard hopes TO meet Yale with
have had scarce a bit Of real football
practice yet. The opinion Is steadily
growing among those who watch Har-
wards playing every day that the state
OF THINKS is the legitimate result OF her
new system of training. The theory that
the men should he underworked rather
than overwOrked seems plausible, but
the fact Is If the men ap worked hard
every day the very fatigue they feel at
the beginning Of the season makes them
less animated in their work until they
are thoroughly toughened. This is the
very best preventative against injury.
Harvard's players, because underworked.
enter the game every day with the
fierceness OF lions and because they nave
not been toughened IN II by Ions series
of gatherings they are easily injured if
Harvard has TO meet Yale this year win
a crippled team or a lot OF substitutes,
she will not be lilSly to press the Yalue
OF her new theories another year.

Skw fULL-BACK MATERIAL.
This week has brought out some new
material for full-bacK. Burt has not
played the position since the Cornell
game. Cochran 'SS Was FIRST tried this
week. He has been doing some great
tackling at end ak the season and It
was largely for this quality In which
Burt is so deficient that he was put at
full-back. lie proved savage line plung-
er and Is power In the interference. lie
Is no kicker though and unless better
ground gaiHing half-baCks appear tnan
are now in sight. he Is hardly the man
for fun back. Edwards has been tried
some too. He is no better kicker than
Cochran though. and less useful in inter
ference. A possibility was developed In
the Lehigh game in Bannars, who is
captain of the freshman football team
and halls from the Princeton prepare
tory school lie is a fine tackler, starts
quickly and runs savagely. lie hits the
line too, like battering ram and Is
easily Burts peer I'm kicking He is stlll
rather an unknown quantity but has
fighting chance for the place at least.
lie showed a slight hardness In Judge

pass away by practice. The Alumni
have taken hand in the coaching this
week. Alex Moffat, Walter Cash.
House" Janeway and Blake have been
here most OF the time and are deter

Princetons great fault, l. e.: the slowness
OF her playing The effect of their work
Is beginning TO appear In a much greater
snap and vim in the playing of the men.

game Will begin next week one twenty

each day with open gates. For the second
half none but the team and coachers will
be allowed on the field
