The object was to prepare a defence
against guards back. which will be the
style OF play used in today's game by
Pennsylvania state college.
There are three Andover men on the
Pennsy squad. Metzger. Tasker Howard.
p. A. AS old hurdler. and Butkiewitz.
All three are possibilities for the varsity.
Princeton has three games within the
next four days. Pepnsylvania state to-
day. Baltimore Medical College Friday
at Baltimore. and Annapolis Saturday at
Annapolis.
Princeton plays the Pennsylvania State
College team at Princeton today and this
strong eleven that kept West Point from
scoring should give the Tigers hard
rub.
Hale. the Yale fullback, Is somewhat of
a campaign orator. He recently made a
speech In favor of Bryan.
Parry will play quarter today against
Tech. This is a very wise experiment as
Barry should make an ideal quarterback.
He is fast on his feet sure tackler, very
strong on interference and a man; that
viii use his head all the time. Barrys
ability as a halfback is well known, but
when two such valuable mon as Ball
and Newton are ready TO play halfback
IL is a good experiment to try him at
this one weak spot on the team.
Amherst has suffered a serious loss in
T.. w. Virgins, their best halfback, who
was injured in the Trinity game. He had
teaada ernnh rttr h.a snl md
after being tackled he was violently
jumped on by Trinity player. who
struck the point of his shoulder with
both knees breaking the bone which pro-
tects the shoulder joint. The injury will
probably keep Virgins out of the game
for a month at least.
The people who will journey to Prince
ton To see the Yale-P Princeton same this
year will have the pleasure of a half
mile walk or ride from the town To the
varsity field. The game OF two years
ago was played on Brokaw field. which
is convenient to thet railroad station.
but il is now said that Brokaw field
would be a swamp IL II rained.
Columbia has some wonderful plays,
according to reports in New York pa
is described as follows: The ends are
placed back of the line and in front of
the halfbacks. Ashley takes the ball and
the ends seize him by his trousers and
throw him over the line. This kind of
football may be the proper thing I'm
Harlem, but 1t won't do elsewhere.
The coaches at Cornell have been giving
every man a chance in order to get at
the best material and Percy Haughton
ieels perfectly satisfied with the showing
OF MS team, despite the low score of Go
against Bucknell on Saturday. The three
big games are what Haughton has got his
sAe on and IL Ia more than probable that
the cornellian and White will rake good
stowings against them all.
Coach Mccormack has selected provi-
sionally from the Phillips Exeter squad
first and second elevens. his choice for
the first eleven being Higgins and Rock
well or Connor ends. Hogan and Rogers
tackles, Carr and Cooney guards. Hoop
er center Rockwell or Connor quarter,
Preston and knbbs halves and Littig
fullbsck. Brill. guard Of last year. is
thus, for the present, at least. relegated
to the second eleven. A training table
has been established and TO IL have been
sent Mr.. Mccormack, Hogan, Preston,
Rogers. Littig and Rockwell over his
signature In todays Exonian, the school
paper, Coach Mccormack severely scores
the eleven, stating that never du,ing
his service as coach has an Exeter team
played such poor football as was exhibit
ed Saturday. The team. he says, is slow
In lining up, signals are poorly given the
quarter passes poorly there is wretched
fumblins and not a man is promptly down
under punts. The team today" he says,
lis poor one"
