PmScErox. n. j., ocL 12.-The most
interesting thing on the Princeton foot
ball field this week was tho appearance
Of Morso ut quarterback. Captain
Trsuchard. though he worked hard,
could never have played the place in
championship form. He was allow in
giving the signals aud In order to get
into the interference quickly thought it
necessary to pass the ball back with
one hand while on tho run. This was
entirely TOO risky and resulted in the
Lehigh game in some shameful fumble'.
Morse has been laid of for nearly two
weeks with sore ankle. His rest has
not been a bad thing for him, however,
for he was getting Just little zine"
lie comes back into the game now with
q aerceness Of play which Is mn excel
lent tonic TO tho team who have boon
growing little Iistiess under tho
bruises OF two weeks Of hard practice.
Morse, though he has always played
haIi.back at Princeton, Is an old hand
Mt quarter back, having played II for
two wears on the Orange Athletic Club
team before coming to Princeton. He
is a remarkably cold.headed player and
ia undoubtedly the strongest runner on
tho Princeton field. For this reason no
will DO sgreIy missed at halt-back.
Morse's place, though, can far more
easily be supplied there than at quarter,
for he il player after Phil Kings own
heart IN this position. He will be able
TO steady the line about as well as King
himself, and is giant at interference.
The new rules will allow him frequently

field for q touchdown after n forty.yard
run. With him ut quarter the Prince.
ton team will not be greatly weakened
by the loss OF Phil King.
The change will leave big hole at
half.back, but now material for this
nositiou il coming out every day.
There Ia In fact plethora OF candi-
dates. Reiter has eliot into prominence
this week as back. lie was played
in the Princeton Rutgers game on
"Wednesday and did good work. He Is
not a very heavy fellow, and not noarly
so compactly built as Morse, but no Is
fast Splinter aud makes up in his line
rlunging Tor his lack OF weight in hIs
speed In getting started.
The great difficulty with Princeton's
new backs this year is that they stop
when they hit the line as II expecting
TO be tackled, instead OF shooting
through before tho opening is blocked.
Reiter Is Just reckless enough to ma ke q
good back. Rosengarten has been laid
Up all the week with sprained ankle.
NicCormick's stock as half back has
zone down little this week, for he has
done altogether too much fumbting Tor
his own glory or the good OF tho team.
He has been sent back to the ecrnb
again for the last few days and Vorhis
has taken his place on the Varsity
line.
Ward ia still resting with sore mus.
Gle. Burt began this week TO show
Bome superior skill in hitting the line,
which gives him now about the best
chance for full back. He can hold his
own against any OF tho candidates IN
punting. His weak point though Is
tackling. Hero Tyler is ahead OF him.
This is Tyler's best point though Tor
running and line-plunging he is poor.
Mccormick is probably on: OF the race
for full.back now for he fails to show
sufficient skill in tackling. Princeton's
veteran line Is steadily getting up to
last wears standard. Center will be
the only weak spot in it. Harry Brown
has been playing brilliant ond this
week. And "Beef" Wheeler has been
surprising himself.
lite about settled that the Princeton
Pennsylvania game will be played on
the Trenton state fair grounds, on No
vemher 10, There is ample Hccommo-
dation there for $4,000 people, and it Is
considered fair compromIise between
Princeton and Philadelphia.
The Yale-PrinCcton game will very
likely 20 to Manhattan field, Saturday,
December ]. Princeton commended to
the last for Thanksgiving day, Yale on
the other hand, wanting the following
"Wednesday. Saturday, December !, Is
tho date agreed upon by Capt Trench
ard as a compromise. 1t is the hope at
Princeton that by thus giving in some
what to Yale this year, possibly i've
wear agreement can be gotten Tor
Thanksgiving day hereafter. T.
