To-moErow
 New Haven. Nov S.-The uncertain l ty regarding the position of fullhack | on the Yale football eleven was evident yesterday when the coaches ordered l both Weymouth and McClintock to | play one on the college side and the other on the varsity. 1Ac men were changed as occasion required in order 1 to get both to do the kicking when chance offered to advance the ball in 1 that way. McClintock also did good 1 work ill line bucking. He was not ex- celled by Weymouth, who, with the | help of Boomer and Hart, scored q touchdown on the varsity. The var sity also scored. but not until the sec ond half was almost over. Metcalf, who ran the team from quarterback i yesterday, did not handle the varsity we'll, and Walter Camp, graduate ath- | letic adviser, gave him examples of what plays to use The days practice was made harder in order to ease up on the varsity to-day in preparation | for the game with the Orange Athletic l club tomorrow.
 Columbia's football practice yester- l day, although quick and sl,arpy. was
 not as good as usual. The varsity did
 not seem over-anxious to exeil itself and the scrub seemed less able than
 usual to hold the varsity backs. Mor- | ley, Weekes and Bruce were not out, and this fact, together with the man. ner in which Coach Sanford handled the other players. may indicate that the men are being rested somewhat lest they become overtrained.
 Co,,oI,u;Joa Nro. Hi- eleven started for Philadelphia yester- signal practice on Soldiers field. The line-np for the practice. which Coach Reid announced as the probable line
 up for the Pennsylvania game. was as follows: Campbell. left end: Blagden, left tackle; Lee. left guard; Sargent, center; Bernard right guard: Cutts,
 right tackle: Bowditch. right end; Mar shall, quarterback; Ristine. right half-
 back; Putnam, left halfback; Graydon, fullback.
 Princeton Nov S-One thousand stu dents. led by fife and drum corps,
 marched to the university football field yesterday afternoon to cheer for the team in it's efforts to get rro condi- ton for the game with West Point on Saturday. Arriving at he field uni Yersity songs were sung and cheers
 were given for the players. The prac- tice yesterday was stronger and of a
 better order than anything seen on the ! varsity field in two weeks. The play
 CTS entered the game with lots of snap and spirit, and the team work was
 much more accurate than it has been | in several days.
 Philadelphia Nov S.-Pennsylvania is now devoting her aergies to getting the players into some kind of physical
 condition for the game with Harvard. For several weeks Pennsylvania has
 been working along with number of cripDles. Hard work could not be srs- pended. for the team needed much at
 tention. Yesterday however. at the advice of Dr White. the men did not
 line up. They were exercised on the |sheld for about an hour and half run
 ming through the signals and prartic-
 ing the quarterback kick and other
 plavs that border on-fhe trick order
 End runs were reaaarsed as well as
 the line plays. both those of tackle and
 center. Pennsylvania will. depend
 largely upon her tacklep piavs and what
 might be called trick plays. such as
 fake formations and delayed and dorl-
 ble passes.
 Williamstown. Nov 2.-The first
 game for the chamnFonsTip Of tho Fri
 angular league of Williaals Wesleyan
 and Amherst will hn played on Satur-
 day. when Williams will line up
 a@ainst Wesleyan. For two years
 Wesleyan has wrestea the champion
 ship from Williams after hoth teams
 have beaten Amherst. but the outlook
 this year is for the closest kind of a
 race for the Dennant. All three teams
 have played excellent games this sea
 son. but the value of comDarative scores stands for nothing. On paper
 Amherst showed ID little the hest.
 as she held Yale down to ona .tnuch- down. hHt her tic games with Union
 and Trinity count against her. Wes-
 levan has not made as good scores. but
 her team has always hean q conner and never reaches its strength till the
 chamnionship games. so her play on
 Saturday is q matter of coniectrre.
 Williams has made several creditahIe
