Tomorrow.
 Ithaca. Nov 1.-Twelve hundred stu dents took advantage of the opportunl- ty offered by the open practlce yesler- day afternoon and witnessed the Ger neil eleyen's work. They were disap- pointed. however, in some respects, as the coaches had determined to elim;n- ate all scrimmages beginning with yes terday. The signals were sairiy well executed. The large crowd Of students passed the time by giving vigorous Cornell wells and in practicing the new songs dedicated to the Princeton game Geneva. \. Y, Nov 1.-The Prince ton football squad arrived here at 3 o'clock yesterday morning. Their special car was switched off and the men allowed to sleep until 1:3O, wien they were driven to the nearest notei, which will be their headquarters while here. The men stood the journey well and are all in the best of condition. In order to prevent any Cornell men from seeing the practice it was held at o'clock on the Hobart college field. This practice was devoted to formation 1 plays and punting The backs showed up poorly i'll handling punts and it seems to worry the coaches a little. Dana, the big guard, was on the side lines owing to q weak ankle. Two other changes in the lineup were made. Underhill being at fullback and | Freeman at quarter.
 New Haven. Nov 1.-The Ysle coaches yesterday sent the squad | through the longest practice of t.;e sea son, and perhaps the hardest. For F 4aS closed against the crowd and signals were run through, and one stiff li9lf was played. The second h3ls was i thirty minutes long. It did not show l the spectators any but the simplest ] tricks, but plenty of line bucking, re- 1 yolying mass formations and n!ayS di- rected at tackle. Kunzig and Hogan l were used in the latter plays. Hogan 1 was coached until he was hardly able | to stand. His fault is starting slowly and in running too high. KuDzig seems to have taken a brace, for he gained much ground. Olcott still was unable to play. but ran through the sig nals. Metcalf and Wallace were quar- 1 terbacks yesterday, relieving De | Saulles. With the exception of Holt. Hogan, Hamlin and Kunzig, all of the regulars and first substitutes were sent I into the gymnasium after the first iopg i half.
 l Manager c. D. Francis of the Yale | Football association has arranged q I special game to be played at Yale field 1 Saturday afternoon at 3 o'ciocK be- tween a team comprised of members 1 of the state militia located at Water l bury and the college team The Wa terbury men have string of victories that have shown their strength and 1 they are regarded as the strongest team in the state excepting, or course, 1 the Yale varsity. A brother of George Goss, the varsity tackle, will play full l back on the visiting team The Wa l terbury aggregation is managed by Lieutenant H. W. Sand1and and in a letter to Mir Francis he predicts defeat for the college men. At any rate the game should be a good one and we'll worth seeing. The admission will te reduced to one-half that of tue regular 1 games. The Company A men will be | selected from the following p;aye1s: Dodds, YHotchkiss, Morrison, Stout. 1 Beckwith. Thompson, Banby, Blakes- lee, Mcfarland, Goss, Beardsley.

This 1 IS the statement made by Scotfy Mac
 Masters, Harvard's veteran trainer.
 with regard to the condition of his men at present. The fact is, Harvard
 has a big cripple list, and her team
 play development is far behind that of years past. It is for this reason that
 MacMasters is looking around for
 some reason for this poor condition of
 the players. It always has been h-s
 claim that man in good physical con-
 dition was not half so likely to be ir-
 Jured as the man who was bit under
 the weather. After careful observa- l ton MacMasters finds that the men
 allow their legs to be loose when in
 the midst of a pile up, ard thus they
 get injured. Water on inc knee gen
 orally is the result, and at present this
 is the hoodoo of the Crimson eleven.
 Nearly twenty men have been laid LID
 this year with this complaint Mac
 Masters also finds that the men get
 injured Oftener toward the end of the
 practice, when they are tired Then
 they are more careless in handling
 themselves in dangerous rlaces.
