Philadelphia, Oct. 28 (speciaD-The overwhelm-
ing score with which the University Of Pennsyl
vania defeated Chicago yesterday has raised foot
ball enthusiasm here the highest pitch that has
been known for years. The consistent playing Of
the Quakers throughout the entire Justi-

as a result large number of students will Journey

OLD PLAYERS COACH THE TIGERS.
STRONG EFFORT TO WHIP THE TEAM INTO SHAPE
FOR YALE.
Princeton N. J., Oct. IS (speciaD.-Three weeks
remain before the great struggle IN Tigertown for
which the entire season is spent in preparation and
the Princeton eleven falls short OF the degree Of
excellence which the coaches look for in mid-season
Probably entering class ever brought in SO much
good material as the present freshman class, but
IN only two has the material been
worked up to varsity form. The Tigers have the
strongest scrub they have had. but while this
fact augurs we'll for a strong team for the next
few years it does not promise success in the
struggle which IS the object of all this falls train
ing.
The fact that the players are nearly all new
men has made coaching more necessary than for
several seasons. and the last week has many
old football stars come to do what they can to
whip the eleven into shape Ballet has returned
from Lehigh, Arthur Poe from Pittsburg- Bergen
Howard Brokaw, Harry Brown, doc Hilebrand
ex-Captain Edwards, NAT Poe and BILLY" Ban
nard have all abored with the Tigers within the
last week. And II the Princeton team does beat
Yale November II, which seems almost impos-
sible now. 1t will be due the faithful work Df
these advisers.
Many OF the regulars were out Of the game from
injuries last week, and that spoiled the interfer
in great measure. Sheffield. the scrub cap
tain, was moved into McCord's place at right
tackle owing TO CnS laCterS SpTalneQ WTlSI. anu
the coaches believe ne will win the place. Sheffield
is rather light. but IS strong, quick and full Of
nerve and enthusiasm John Dewitt IS out Of the
game for the season, having broken his left hand
in way that he broke his right early in the
season. His place is fairly well filed by Marshall
Mills. John Dana. the other guard. is quite up to
varsity form when he is fresh, but tires easily.
Wright is a promising player at guard. but does
not use his head enough. Davis's wrenched knee
takes a valuable end from the squad. Little.
Kelly. Roper and Ross McClave are used alter
natey on the varsity Kelly and Roper are the
favorites. In the back field there has been con-
siderable change. Underhill for q long time a
prime favorite fuback with the coaches, has been
sent to the second eleven. and his place taken by
Gordon. The latter is clever goal kicker and a
strong punter His weak point is line Plungtng and
interfering. MATHS. the substitute fuback or last
year, is the best fulIback on the squad 15 He has
been learning to kick drops. Meier and Duncan
are still about even in the race for quarterback
1t IS probable that the old policy of having Two
regular uuarterbacks will be continued this year
Young Humbird, on the scrub. is the most slippery
man in Princeton as the varsity tacklers seem TO
find when he carries the ball forty yards through
their territory without interference. He is not
effective in team play. Hodgman and the veteran

A CONTENTION OVER FCRACKEN.
HARVARD OBJECTS TO THE PENNSYLVANIA
FULLBACK PLAYING ON SATURDAY.

Cambridge, Mass Oct. 2S-The Harvard Athletic
Committee has written a letter to the Pennsyl-
vania football management calling attention TO the
fact that McCracken, the Pennsylvania fuIlback,
played two games in his freshman year four years
ago this fall, and in the spring OF that year also
took part in the dual track games with Harvard.
According TO Harvard's Interpretation Of the four
years eligibility rule AcCracken will not be able to
play against Harvard this year. 1t is understood.
however, that Pennsylvania contends that the two
football games in which McCracken played were
minor games and did count, and that the four
years since his competition IN the track games will
not expire until January l, 1901.
This is a loose Interpretation Of the rule and it
is understood that Harvard will take firm stand
against allowing McCracken 70 play next Satur-
day. The Harvard-YaIe freshman football game
will be played in New-Haven on the morning Of
