PUNTs AND CATCHES.
Princeton,s Scrubs Score for the
Time.

The practice of the Princeton men
yesterday showed some of the srap and
ginger that the eoachers have been try
ing to hammer into them. Crowds
pushed Riggs into the scrub team and
tackled more than usual. Knox Taylor
is the heaviest man on the line, and
gsts-into every play. Smith played a
g6nhs game at end in Browns place.
He will probably be used as substitute
end in the big games. Gordon john
son has doomed up as an end man, too.
Reynolds, at quarter back, passed we'll,
but is too light for much interference.
He gave the signals in quick success
sion, but is not heady in his work. Poe
did not play, but wached the game from
the side lines. Barnard played at half
back, but was not the success there he
was at full back. He Shove a bad
habit of not hitting the end rush when
interfering. Refers side is improving,
and he will be able to play again by
Wednesday. Wards knee is worse
again, and it looks as though he would
not be able to play this season. COCHRAN
played at full back, and was very slow
in getting under way after he had caught
a punt. He bucked the line like a
streak, though he is great in interior
ence. His punting, however, was ex-
tremely weak. Burt appeared at fuii
back for the first time since the Cornell
game, and PLAYED the best game in that
position seen here for carrying the ball
across the goal line, closely pursued.
The scrub team were very strong today,
and scored for the first time on the
Varsity. Hall of the Theological Sem
mary had the honor of a touch down
by Lea after a sitxty-yard run.

CAPTAIN T~renchard's statement that
Yale sent Kelly and Whitcomb to play
with the Volunteers against his team on
Saturday last has been considered as
a joke by the Yale men. Kelly and
Whitcomb, it is claimed, have just en-
tered Yale, and, as the college associa-
ton rules state a student must pc a
year in the college before he can play
on the team it shows that the men cannot
be members of the team. Kelly has
played with the Volunteers since their
existence, and Whitcomb comes from the
West, and was induced by Kelly to play
with the same team. Whttcomb, one
time this season, did play with the Yale
cam, but as soon as 1t was found that
he was not in college a year he was
not allowed to play again.

Without detracting from Cornelfs good
work, however, it may be said that there
are several reasons why the second
