The Princeton Varsity eleven practiced
for two short halves yesterday and
showed to much better advantage than
| heretofore 1t was the first time the
Tigers were able to hold for downs against
the scrub team and last night the coaches
felt better than they have in some time.
Two touchdowns were scored against the
scrubs in a hot SUM- Defensive work
found a very large part of the practice.
The scrubs were instructed to rush tine
ball continually and they bucked the line
in such manner as to put the big fellows
on the mettle.
The scrub showed great strength ana
did good work, though only few gains
of any consequence were made. Arthur
Poe again showed of what stuff he is
made by scoring touchdown from the
middle of the field. He got the ball on
double pass. The other touchdown was
scored by Morse. who lodged cleverly be-
hind excellent interference. The work
on the whole showed the team to be much
improved. Eiilebrand and Pell still re-
main out of the game and viii not put on
uniforms again for a week as a result Of
injuries received the other day There IS
stiIl some little fear about the defence.
and it is feared that unless this is i'm
proved Columbia will give the yellow and
black a hard fight tomorrow.
Columbia's eleven is in good trim for to-
morrow's game and Coach Sanford feels
confident. There is a snap and sureness
about the practice work that has put the
rooters in a happy mood. Throughout
Columbia football circles there is lack
of nervousness that to a stranger seems
to foretell a success fully expected.
In the practice yesterday the varsity
went out against the scrub The latter Is
strong and worked like Trojans while the
varsity handled them very well, showing
a steady Improvement over all previous
practice. At times there is a brilliancy
about Columbia's playing that proves the
team is capable. Two halves of eight
minutes formed the practice and it was
full of ginger and snap. The play was
terrific The opinion formed by those
who are studying the team is that the
Tigers will get a surprise tomorrow.
A run of 100 yards through scrub

ference was a sensational feature of the
practice at Harvard yesterday. Daily got
the bali on kick off by the scrub. The
crimson showed well and great things are
expected from the team this year.
