PRINcEroN's STOCK ON THE RISE.
BETTER WORK ALL AROUND AT OLD NASSAU.
Princeton, ~ J.. Oct (spec,aD.-Ths week has
been one OF progress at Princeton. Great strides
nave been made IN the choosing Of a team worthy
of tho record Of the house 81 Nassau. Kelly,
.Brokaw Ballet end Titus have been helping with
ahe coaching and some changes have been msds
which are likely 10 prove permanent Notable
among these is the case Of Mills. who started IN
10y putting up a great game at tackle. Last week.
80 the surprise Of everybody. Mills was RELOCATED
10 the scrub and placed at guard. The old ones
talked wisely Of how tho two stars. Tyler and
Holt the first a tackle and tbs latter a guard
had been rendered almost useless by interchanging
their positions and predicted tho finish Of Mills
and consequent loss 10 the Tigers But II appears
that the coaches know their business, for ms
week Mills has blossomed out es guard on the
svarslty and behold. he is a "cracKatack One
OF his little accomplishments Is kicking goals with
an apparent disregard Of tho angle
The new arrivals have made several changes IN
nh. early makeup Of the team. Edwin Crowds.
nhe big guard from Nova Scotia who PLAYED 1881
year has come out again, and as there is no place
open at guard he he's replaced the scrub centre
and Is giving Booth the hottest kind Of tussle
This means a great increase Of strength In the
fighting line Of the Tigers for Booths hold on MS
position has unfortunat ely, been looked upon as
sure thing.
The pracrca this week has consisted In nrst
falling on the ball and then practice IN Kicking
and catching long punts nv the backs and al
Others who show any aptitude for this work 0nlck
nassinr and catching take good share Of stten-

THUS far two ten minute halves have consututeh
the hardest days work. The men ara showing
surprsinely better form over last week. and are
standing the practice well. Dummy tackhnS on

each man has tackled several times he is sent
around the track a trot as the last OIL OF
