gridiron, and the Tigers were kept on the
jump from start to finish.
"King" Kelly was out again in uniform
and met with uproarious applause as he
took his old position at right halfback
and went through the signals.
The regular practice at Cornell yester-
day was harder than usual. The Var
sity played for 25 minutes against one
scrub team, after which some substi-
tutes were put in against a new lot Of
scrubs. Some time was spent in signal
work, in which different codes of signals
were employed and new formations
tried.
Much Indignation has been expressed
here to-day over an article published in
the Express of Easton last evening charg-
ing Lafayctte's defeats this fall to Parkc
Davis The members of the team are
especially outspoken in their denuncia-
ton of the untruthful and malicious
article. Mr.. Davis declined to discuss
the matter except to say that he had not
resigned his sllpcrvisorShip over Lafay-
cites athletic interests, nor did he con-
template SO doing.
The officials for the coming Thanks
giving Day game between Orange and
Elizabeth have not definitely been
agreed upon by the two managers, but it
is probable that DR.. Josh Hart well, Yale,
will referee, and Frank Morse, Princeton,
will umpire. Yesterday Manager Coync
of Orange received several commune
cations from both Yale and Princeton
students to reserve seats Tor the game,
which indicates more than Il local
interest. Both clevcns will be taken to
New Haven tomorrow to see the Yale
Princeton game and next week they will
have he services Of cOachcrs from both
places up to the day Of the game. Eliza
beth will do her training at home, while
it is the intention Of Orange to develop
team work at farm about thirty miles
back Of Orange.
Yale's foot ball players went to sleep
Thursday night, realizing that they had
lined up for the last time in practice this
season. They were not worked hard
yesterday, and they crept to bed feeling
healthy and frisky as kittens. "Thcse
stories of any member of the team being
out of condition are untrue said kcenc
Fitzpatrick, the Yale trainer last night.
81 never saw an eleven on the day be-
fore their big game in better playing con-
dition, if as good, as is the Yale team at
present. The bruise lIasen received will
not handicap him at all. He is as lively
as ever to-day. Cadwalader has ceased
to limp, and both will be in their best
form by Saturday."
Yesterday was aquict day for the Penn
Water Gap. Coach Woodruff had his
men up early, and after hearty break
fast they were taken for Il long walk up
hill and down dale. The air was frosty
and clear and the team was greatly invig-
rated. Short signal practice ofan hour was
then held. In the afternoon another spell
of light work was done. Outside OF this
the men done as they pleased. The brac-
ing pinc-ladcu mountain near by had Il
splenid effect on the team.
When the idea OF playing the big foot
ball games on college grounds was first
talked of it was thought that the stu
dents would prove incapable of manag-
ing such important affairs, where so
much work was necessary to accommo-
date crowds of 10000 persons without
accidents. But the way in which the
recent Harvard-Yale game was handled
