Manager McAvoy of the University of
Pennsylvania foot ball team went to Eas-
ton, Pa. from Philadelphia yesterday, ex-
pecting to be able to reach an agreement
with Lafayette relative to another game,
or even two to be played in Philadelphia,
but left with a heavy heart. Lafayette
said no.
Princeton defeated Lawrenceville yester-
day on the latters grounds by a score of
46 to o. The Tigers had the wind with
them during the first half and played a
kicking game, scoring forty points. Wheeler
failed to kick but one goal. In the second
half one touchdown only was made, from
which goal was kicked. The Lawrence
Vile players were light and the game did
not afford an opportunity to judge the
Tigers.
After Referee Hickok refused to allow
the touchdown made by the Indians
against Yale at Manhattan field, Saturday
one Of the spectators remarked "The In
dian Is supposed to have no chance with
the government. but the government isn't
in 1t with Yale"
Cornell has SO many coaches that they
are In each others way. Wyckoff, Colnon
Call, Hall, Sanford and Mason are out CIV
ing the team directions every day. The
Ithaca boys are putting up a very strong
article of foot ball. and promise to give
pennsylvania lot of trouble Thanksgiv-
ing day.
70 watch the practice on Yale field yes
nj haH
agined that the same team had such a Sc
we're game with the Indians only two days
ago and barely escaped defeat. The prac-
tice was the hardest and longest OF the
season Owing to the poor showing made
by the men In the Carlisle game. the coach
ing will be increased In severity, and the
time of practice will be heightened.
Pennsylvania will have another hard
game tomorrow when the Brown Uniye--
sity team will line up against the Quak-
ers at Franklin field. Brown defeated Am
herst Al to and Lehigh 81 to 0. Penn's
scores against these same teams were, AM
herst 16 to o, and Lehigh "a to 0. It can
readily be seen that there is stiff work cut
out for the Red and Blue
The Pennsylvania foot ball team prac-
ticed behind closed gates yesterday after
noon, no one but the coaches and directors
of the Athletic Association being admitted
The practice will likely be secret for some
time as Coach Woodruff thinks the men
along the side lines detract the attention
of the players. A new quarter back has
been found. Fortescue of the reserves He
played an excellent game for the reserves
on Saturday against the naval cadets at
Annapolis. This was reported to Coacn
Woodruff, snd he took Fortescue on
Franklin field for an hour in the forenoon
Capt. Wrightington and the Harvard
team returned to Cambridge from Ithaca
Sunday and today the team spent In hard
practice. preparatory to the two big
games this week. But Wrightington was
suffering so that he watched his men from
a carriage on the side lines and seemed to
feel discouraged about his chances of be-
Ing able to play against Princeton. There
Is even doubt Of his being in the game at
Philadelphia November q. When he was
asked what he thought of the Pennsylva-
nia-Lafayette game he refused to talk, but
smiled knowing smile. as if he thought
that the Quakers would be easy prey for
mis- doughty warriers.
The Cornell Varsity men did little work
yesterday, as they were resting from the
exertion Of the Harvard game. The stu
dents are well satisfied with the work of
the team and think that with Young In his
place and full back equal to Brown, Cor
nell would have won.
