ON THE GRIDIRoN.


 Getting Ready for the Games to Be 7, Played Tomorrow. |
 Cambridge, Mass. Oct 26.-Harvard | scored twice on the scrub yesterday | afternoon, but the practice was dis couraging. A decided tendency was manifested on the part of individual l players to tumble and mix signals, q failing which may have disastrous re- suits in the two big games which are yet to come. -< 7 Ihe only touchdown the second team made yesterday afternoon was on a tumble, and the varsity mixed itself up badly several times through seem- ingly inexcusable forgetfulness of. the signals.
 Ithaca, Oct 26-Though the Prince ton game is less than two weeks off, Cornell seems to still be doubtful in re- gard to some of the positions. Tester day Whitney was changed from the varsity to the scrubs, Lueder taking his place at left tackle. Taussig was also sent over to the college side. Thomas, who has played alternately at end and quarter back, played at right end yesterday. He made a very creditable showing. Cooper has in- jured a tendon in his leg and will not
 be able to play any more this season.
 and Hunt, who has taken his place at
 right guard, was not put in yesterday
 Taussig is not playing the game he did last year.
 Philadelphia, Oct 26.-Pennsylvania
 went out of town yesterday for prac-
 tice game preparatory to the Chicago
 game on Saturday.. Coach Woodruff
 wanted to give his team a hard prac-
 tfce game against opponents more
 strange to the varsity than is the
 scrub. The showing of the men at SWarthmore was not at ,sall@satisfac-
 tory to Woodruff. The men did not
 get down to their work the way they should especially on the offensive. Finally Woodruff got into the game himself and then the men warmed up | to their work. So ragged was the work of the line men at times that on Pennsyfvania's ten-yard line Hare's l4kick was blocked and Swarth hmore | scored a touchdown.
 New Haven. Oct 26.-Harmon | Graves. the old Trinity half back, who l played for Yale in the days of ''Brink'' | Thorne, paid his first visit of the sea | son to the Yale eleven yesterday after noon. Graves has done a great deal | of coaching at West Point and is q | valuable critic. With Graves came
 Frank Butterworth, head coach of the
 1897 team. and skin Brown, the former guard. The Rev Cutten. Nor
 ris Ely and ex-Captain Chamberlain
 were also on the gridiron assisting
 Head Coach Mcbride. Captain Brown
 did not play, and neither did Hale, the
 big full back. One touchdown was
 scored by the varsity men in the first
 half. but in the second they could moi
 get beyond the scrubs fifteen-yard line
 DeSaulles, the little quarter back, whC
 has been put on end, was one of the stars of the day He plays as thougl
 he might make pretty fast end rush New Haven, Oct 26-The only ope1 , date of the Yale law school footbal i team is election day. A game hat I been arranged with the Englewoot Field club, but it has been cancelled
 On Wednesday of next week the lav , school eleven will play against tn I Massachusetts Institute of Technolog, 9 tat Boston. On their way back iron 2 that city the men will stop at Worces s ter and on Thursday will meet tn ell Worcester academy team. One of tn g big. gaines scheduled by the eleven i e that oh Thanksgiving day with a fear s of picked men at Chicago. The Yal e team expect a hard battle then. The l, are making plans for the Christina n trip to the south. It will occupy te | l ID 4l,.,& Il greatly strengthened by the additio : of the three or four law school me
 who are now playing for positions O
 the regular varsity eleven
 n Providence, Oct 26.-The Brown m h r versity eleven had an easy time vii l. | ming from the second eleven yesterda V afternoon, gaining. almost at vii r. Since the Pennsylvania and Chicae r. games Browns solid defense is Il known quality, and, the prepara tion. f. e the, Princeton battle has centered 'e aggressive plays. The backs are il " proving and there is faster work wi e, less fumbling. Quarter Back Wade generalship in the Chicago game h. d been criticised, and. although his d
 fensive work is exceptionally stron le Scudder may be put in as a speedi Is man in the attack.
 e. : New York, Oct ,26.-Sanford and t at other coachers of Columbia's tea is withdrew from. the field of practi O. yesterday long enough to see regul Id game between the varsity and fl so scrubs. Forty-five players were on t at field when the side lines were clear us and the student spectators put on t 5. grand stand. With instructions to ae to play hard, the game began. T
 struggle was fierce throughdht and { .sd monotony of short gains was reliev nj by q brilliant run of sninetyfive- yal "a by Weeks. Wolff also distinguish at- himself, as did BHardsley, who play nt ] guard instead ofdTyson. The nyyars
 made three touchdowns and the scrr rd got one, when Townsend bro ig- through and blocked 2 kick bysMerl sn- Murphy scoring. This unnerved ta- men for q while, but they soon rec set cred. and Sanford came on the i
