The teams in the Senior Interscholastic League
have been out for practice Tor two weeks. Last
year the season ended in u wrangle, with two
teams tied for FIRST place and one other
team protesting a decision. Charges OF pro-
fessionalism were freely made. and the season
altogether was a most unsatisfactory one. At

Princeton Varsity Scored Against By the Scrub
Team.
PRINCETON, Oct. 1.-The Princeton, varsity
team WAS scored against this afternoon for the
first time this season, anu the scrub players are
highly jubilant over their success. The varsity
men have not yet entirely recovered from the
bruises sustained in last Saturdays game with
Lehigh. and their playing this afternoon was
~listlcss and ineffective. They were weakened
also by the absence of Holt. who is busy with
examinations; Edwards. who is laid of with an
injured foot, and Armstrong. who is suffering
with malHriil fever. The scrub team was con.
sidcrtbly strengthened by tho presence of Sutcr
and ReitGr behind the line. and as Crane, the
regular scrub full back. is out OF the game with
a strained knee Ayres and Baird alternated in
his place.
During the first half the varsity crossed the
scrubs goal line twice, but Wheeler missed one
of the goals. In the second halt, shortly before
time WAS called, Ayres punted 10 the varsity y
thIrty-yard line. Wheeler fuiuhlod and Suter
fell on the ball. Baird was then substituted for
Ayrcs. and the scrub backs twice buckcd the
line hard, but failed to gain. Baird then fell
back TO try for IL goal, aud although the pass
WAS poor and the 'varSity's ends were close upon
him, tho piucky full back lifted AS pretty a goal
from tho held as ever was seen on PrinCetOn's
]gridiron. The score then stood 10 to 5 in favor
Of the first team. BHird's effort was loudly
chcered by the large crowd OF students present.
After the regular practice the varsity play crs
were coached in new formations Tor blocking
kicks. The corps Of coachcrs was strengthened
