NOW FOR THE SCRiM
Princeton Scrubs score--First COLI
lege Garae--Notes.

The first touchdown of the season MADE
against Princeton was scored yesterday
in the practice game between the Varsity
and the scrubs. The man who had the
honor of crossing the goal line for the
first time is Levick, a freshman from
Penncharter. The play came To-
wards the. close of the second half Reiter
was given the ball in the centre OF lne
field to make four yards ana luinplsu
Levick. Quick as a flash, had the bail and
started down a clear field before the
Tigers knew what was going on. IL was
impossible to catch the flying resnmah
and he crossed for the scrubs first touch-
down. Thus far the BACK field has show
ed up poorly and a lot OF braclng must pc
done. The tumble that gave Leyick ms
opportunity was n OF a great numpef
that are made very frequently Inc n
reference also shows to poor advantage.
The Varsity men break UP themselves by
running into each other.
Several times the coaches stopped ne
practice to instruct the players in the
rudiments of the game, which they nae
been drilled in a week before, and nnaHy
called the entire Varsity eleven TO tne
freshmen field and set them going through
simple formations at d walk. The VAR
sity's single ~ouchd0wn was secured .py
Morse, after the ball had been carried
twenty-five yards by successive Inc
plunges. The first material change of the
season in the Tigers line was made yes
terday, when Mills, substitute left guard
last season, was replaced by Dana, a
L-awrenceyille freshman. For the past
week the freshman has been gradually
improving and the. change was no sur
prise to those who have watched the
work of the two men. Mills Will pc tried
at left tackle. During yesterdays prac-
tice ex-Capt. Hil1ebrand had his leg
wrenched badly and will be out OF the
game for a week. at least.
