Frank Hinkey has again positively refused to go to New Haven to catch the Yale ends. This is the first time that he has refused to help his old comrades and his action has created much adverse comment at New Ha- ven. f4 f..Ft
 Ithaca, Nov S.-Yesterday's Cornell practice consisted in a game of fifteen minute halves between the varsity and scrub teams. A new system of offense was adopted, viz, the guards back formation which the scrub eleven eleven Will employ against the varsity eleven in preparing for the coming games with Pennsylvania and Lafay cite. It was not at all successful, as the scrubs were light and were not practiced in it's use. The first. team always met it behind the line. The offensive playing of the varsity was altogether snappy and the rest of the past two days seems to have done tle men worlds of good.
 New Haven. Nov ,S.-The Yale foot ball team weht into star chamber ses- sion yesterday afternoon for the first time this fall. The gates were closed for half an hour and the team was 1n- stFucted in ambush tactics for the re- ception of the red men on Saturday When the gates were finally opened the college men tried Carlisle'S favorite trick of masEing the rush line on one side of the ball. The trick fooled the varsity men at first. Then the scrub team began to work it in poor style, and the varsity stopped it. The conclusion was that Yale had better spend the rest of the week getting ready for this trick. The practice had hardly began before Hale, the big full back. was hurt in scrimmage and had to be assisted off the gridiron. His face was pale with pain as he limped away. The practice was long and fierce, and some good work was done.
 Philadelphia, Nov S.-Hare, Zim- merman, Graves and McCracken were all out on the field yesterday, the lat ter in foot ball clothes. All returned to the hospital, where they will re- main until to-day's practice, when with the exception of Hare. they will get into the game. Graves has a very bad knee, but with careful nursing he dDlS tO Stk III lO lllt Gtlt contest. McClockey and Wallace both had to be taken from the practice be- cause of their injured shoulders, and the former may be out of it for some time. With all these men on the hos pital list the game with the Eastonians is a sort of nightmare. Besides the crippled condition of the team. there is a sort of demoraliZation and disOr ganization that must be overcome al once or the consequences will be ia l tai. Coach Woodruff is conscious oi | this.

All of the Columbia players ant | Coach Sanford were Showered witt congratulations Nerly every membe of the eleven had scratches on his fac' or a "blue" eye, but that was of n consequence. To have conquered on of the Big Four" etevens was so sat isfactory that bruises were scarcel. felt. The enthusiasm at the universi ty was never greater than now. Ther is even more rejoicing than when tn Yale eleven was beaten last year. Whe it is considered that the eleven was o1 ganiZed and coached under the mos adverse circumstances this lates achievement appears to be all the nor remarkable. ..t..-
 Princeton. Nov S,-Princeton's eley sn was badly shaken up in its gam
 with Columbia. There was scarcely

 wore big white bapdages around thei heads, protecting the cuts which the
 had received. One of Captain Pell'

 Cord and Mattis, who were suppose to have been injured severely, are i
 shape again and apparently not an

 was about as light as it could be mad

 other day before Trainer Robinson wi

 hard work.
