FOOT BALL.

nave nad TOO much experience as trainers
to allow such thing to happen, and the
Quakers will be trained to the very hour
OF the Harvard game. Hard, aggressive
play has characterized the practice since
the struggle with Carlisle, and the follow
ers of the red and blue have not lost con-
fidence in their favorites. 1t is probable
that neither Boyle nor Dickson will re-
cover in time to line up against Harvard,
but Jackson and Folwell are improving
greatly at the extremities of the line.
The game of the season will be played
at Union street ground Tomorrow, when
the Warren line up against their greatest
rivals, the Upland team Of Chester. The
Warren boys have been training hard
for this game and expect to win back
their lost laurcls. And the Upland team
has also been working hard as they real
ize that if they want to defeat the local
team they will have to play harder than
they did on Saturday week. There is
lots Of betting on the game and each side
is offering even money. 1t is to be hoped
that the Chester sports will bring some
money with them, so that the Whining
ton boys can send them home broke.
Chicago is football mad. The games
there are attended by large crowds, and
the demand coaching talent is increas-
ing. Fred Smith, last years Princeton
quarter back, is in charge of the Univer-
sity of Illinois team, and Phil King has
another big eleven in hand. All Of the
leading department stores have their
elevens, and it is not unusual to see half
dozen teams made up of employees of
nearby stores practising on the turf ofthe
lake front on Michigan avenue.
For the first time in two weeks Sam
Boyle was found in his position of left
end on the University of Pennsylvania
team this afternoon. He took part in
the signal practice, but did not attempt
any hard work. He will continue easy
practice for the next week, but will not
attempt to play in game until the Har-
ward contest.
"King' Kelly, the Tigers star half
back, was carried off the field this after
noon with badly bruised shoulder,
which will prevent him from practicing
any more this week, and may keep him
out of the Yale game.
There was a decided slump in the work
of the Cornell Varsity to-day from the
fast, snappy practice of yesterday.
The Scrubs pushed the Varsity
around the field with ease.
Drop kicking this year has created so
much comment that it bids fair to be
practiced at the colleges more than ever
before.
! Amherst has protested the tie game
with Williams last Saturday on the
ground that Patterson, the referee. blew
his whistle for down before Fifcr
started on the 50-yard run that resulted
in a touchdown.
Yale is ready for the Harvard game
The hard work is over and the linc-up,
which has been in doubt for few days
is definitely settled. Twenty minutes of
the afternoons practice was thrown open
to spectators, and large number avaiIed
themselves Of the privilege, for it was
the last hard work they will have Il
chance to see before the big game.
When Coach Butterworth cried "Line
up, Varsity" all eyes turned upon the
backs. Dudley and Benjamin played
these positions and Kiefer and Corwin
were rcegated to the scrub team. On
right end Hall played for a time until
the coaches decided it was useless to risk
injuring his shoulder, and Connor was
given his place for a few minutes.
Slocovitch played opposite him and
easily put him out of the way on couple
Of kicks. 1t was Il kicking game entire
ly, and no line bucking plays were tried.
Walter Camp, Frank Hinkey and DR..
Josh" Hartwel did most of the coach
ing, which was directed at the centre
trio.
The Tigers took another big slump to-
day, and the coaches fear that the fine
form of the team of the last week may be
lost. Nothing is more difficult than to
keep a foot ball eleven in the pink of
condition for two weeks.
When the Varsity lined up against
Lafayette last Saturday they were about
as near perfection in their art as foot
ball teams get. They won handsomely.
Two days of rainy weather and light
practice followed, and this afternoon,
under perfect foot ball conditions, the
team played about as they did three
weeks ago, when cry for help went out
to coaches all over the country.
1t was lifeless play; fumbling and
loose interference were the order of the
day.
Betting on Saturdays big game is very
spirited. Harvard is demanding even
money at present, but there is plenty of
it. There have been cases of bets of 5 to
I, and even, 5 to 3 on Harvard, but these
