ON THE GRID1RoN.
Interest Now Centered in the Big
 Games With Yale.


 Philadelphia, Nov 13.-yery light practice was taken yesterday at Penn sylvania, as Coach Woodruff is desir- ous of getting all the men free from bruises before he begins hard work again. All of the regulars were out, with the exception of McCracken, Graves, Wallace and Teas. The latter two are in good shape and merely took a day off. McCracken left yesterday and it is hoped that his injured knees will be wholly well by Saturday and that he will not be handicapped by them any more this season.
 Camrdge, Nov 13.--Even more dis couraging work than last week char acteriZed the Harvard football practice on Soldiers field yesterday afternoon. The playing was slow and spiritless. Captain Daily was not on the field and his absence had telling effect on team play. All the other varsity cripples, save Gierasch, have returned and ran through signal practice, Campbell going into the lineup. Ellis was slow, but the other men were all right phys ically. Putnam scored the only touch down for the varsity in the twenty five minute half against the second. Twice the second held the varsity for downs.
 Princeton, Nov 13.-The first half of the practice yesterday afternoon was open and the time was taken up in drilling the men on the defense and in getting down the field under punts. Gresham Poe was at Little's end, and if he keeps up the pace which he set yesterday afternoon it is almost cer tain that Yale will have another of that celebrated football family to reckon with on Saturday. He has been handi- capped all the season with a bad knee, but is in good shape now.
 Julian W. Curtiss, who has charge of the management of the Yale Prince ton game, said yesterday that the Pennsylvania railroad would be able to handle all who intend to go to Prince ton on Saturday. The new stands on University field will seat 13.5O0 per sons, and the entrances have been so arranged that it is believed there will be no confusion. The game will not be in the field used two years ago, which was within one hundred yards of the railroad depot, but the regular Prince ton field beyond the college campus will be the scene of, the action. This is about five minutes walk from the railroad terminal, by two different routes. Betting on the game yester- day was not particularly brisk. Yale being d strong favorite. Without Hale it is thought that Yale will still be the odds-on choice up to the call of play. New Haven, Nov 13.-Captain Cor | don Brown of the Yale varsity eleven yesterday inaugurated a system of light work for the final week before | the Princeton game. He sent the var sity squad through twenty-minute half of sharp but not eXhausting prac- tice. Every player who was in the game against Carlisle on Saturday was | in his place except Coy and Gould, who have been playing at a terrific | gait to assure their place and now will l be treated with more considera ton. | They secured first mortgage on their | places by their fine work on Saturday.
 Captain Brown gave the impression | that Yale will send into the Princeton struggle not her speedy trio fbacks 1 which scampered through the Carlisle 1 line, but her giant set, composed of Cook, Sharpe and Hale, who have proved such irresistible ground gathers all the fall. Cook and Sharpe were l the variSty halves at most of the prac- tice yesterday. They have been out of the game for two weeks because of | injuries. Sharpe was roundlv cheered when he lined up. A thousand under graduates who had marched to the field sent up the ( llege yell in his honor. Sharpe kicked several hard goals in practice, but in the regular lineup failed to accomplish the same result. Wear handled the ball poorly his cratic passing being largely the cause of Sharpe's poor showing. Hyde the second team full back. was in trou ble throughout the practice Two o1 his kicks were blocked by Wear and Stillman. This breaking through by the varsity was thought by the coaches to be the best feature of the practice yesterday afternoon. The Yale anC Harvard managers are swamped witt applications for tickets to the Yale Harvard football game. They have more than 2,O00 applications for tick cts and only seating capacity for IT. 000 The have decided to build addi tions to the grand stands seating about 1,500 people.

Harvard; timer, Arthur Whiting, Cornell.
