PRINCETON, Oct. 9.-The past weeks football
practice at Princeton has apparently brought
the team no nearer to Championship form than 1t
was q week ago. Many OF the players have been
busy with examinations during the week and
several have been prevented from playing by
slight injuries received In the games against tho
scrubs.
Capt. Cochran has spent most of the week In
attempts to develop the limo In breaking through
to block kicks. Several new formations for this
purpose have been tried, but with little or no
success. Holt and Crowds are the only two
men In the line who show any ability whatever
in this respect, and the scrub full back, as a rule.
gets his kicks off In plenty Of time. In the game
with Rutgers, although the latter team was ex.
tromely weak, Princeton's line succeeded in
stopping only two OF the punts. A method new
at Princeton for kicking goals from tho field has
also been practiced. The ball is passed back to
Cochran. who kneels just in front Of tho full
back and holds 1t in position to be kicked. In
this way the ball is pointed better and can DO
kicked more accurately than by a common drop
kick. Another advantage to be gained by this
method Is that IL the opposing line mon break

proved to be only a dream. Enthusiasts over
the sport have at last tired of the extreme type
that was useful only as a racer. and have turned
at last to designs that will produce a wholesome
type of boat in which will be combined q thor
oughly safe cruiser, as well as a reasonably
speedy racing craft.
The Seawanhaka.C orinthian Club was the first
in the field with the new class OF twenty-one
foot knockabouts, but to q great number of
yachtsmen along the Sound this boat proved to
be too small for the objects for which it was in
tended. The limited sail plan makes her less
speedy than her prototype around Boston, while
