Waterbury Democrat., 1901-11-13

tice to-day was encouraging, although the men have not wholly recovered from the effects of the Pennsylvania game. In thirty minutes of play the varsity made four touchdowns against the second eleven. while the latter team, being given the ball on the var sity's twenty-five yard line, was unable to advance on twelve plays. The end running was good, but there was still too much fumbling. Lee and Camp bell both blocked punts and Campbelfs s resulted ill touchdown.
 Ithaca, N. Y., Nov 13.-The physical condition of Cornelrs varsity players was the cause of added discourage ment yesterday, as there were five reg ular players absent from work. The most serious case is that of Left End Taussig, whose ankle improves but lit tie and the coaches have decided not to play him against Columbia. Schoell- kopf, Brewster and Purcell of the back field, were all laid off. and Captain Warner entered the scrimmage to-day only after his substitute. Emmons, was forced to withdraw.
 
 In the heay rain yesterday Colum- bias football team was put through hard practice with the scrub. The varsity played q fast and sure game. Algy BOyesen recovered bad tumble in good style and handled himself ex- cellently. Lancon played low and broke well into the scrub back field. Shaw was back at center and put up q hard fight against Duden, who has been endangering his position. The real feature of the day was the return of Smith to the squad. He played at tackle and put up a hard and gritty game. As he will not be needed at halfback he will make q powerful ac- quisition to the line.
 Princeton, N. J., Nov 13.-The Prince ton varsity football team played two fast fifteen minute halves with the scrub yesterday and scored two touch downs. The practice was secret and the game was characterized by more action among the backfield players than usual. The defense appeared to be stronger. In the first half the var sity eleven quickly demonstrated their superiority by pushing the scrub straight down the field for a touch down. In the first part of the second half the scrub struggled fiercely, hold ing their opponents twice for downs, but later the varsity braced up and rushed the oval down the field for the second touchdown
 New Haven, Nov 13.-Yale's chances for winning the football championship vanished last night when the football association issued an official statement declaring the best all-around man of the eleven, Edgar T. Glass, not eligi- ble to play on the eleven. The state ment follows:
 Yale has decided to withdraw Glass owing to an objection made by liar yard. Yale feels that although the spirit of the rule was not to bar men coming from preparatory schools, even though they had previously attended another college. the letter of the rule was such that she would not feel jus tified in playing Glass when Harvard insisted upon the letter. Moreover, Yale will not play Glass against Prince ton, considering it unfair to play Him in one game and not in the other"
 Glass is disqualified under the e1igi- bility clause, which reads:
 ''No person who has attended reel tations at another university shall be eligible for q Yale varsity team till he has been in college a year."
 Haryard's protest Monday caused Walter Camp, Yale's athletic adviser, to go to Cambridge. He returned last night and evidently his efforts for ar bitration were fruitless. for immedi- ately after his return the announce ment that Glass had been taken off the team was made. Princeton had giv- en Yale full assurances that Glass would not be protested, but Yale de clined to be so inconsistent as to play Glass against Princeton and not against Harvard.
 With only two days more to practice for the Yale-Prineeton game. the Yale squad was sent through heavy drill under unpleasant conditions yesterday The cripples were not permitted to play, but were given light work, such as running i'll pairs around the grid iron. Among them was Captain Gould and Glass. The public exhibi- ton was unsatisfactory. as the college eleven managed to push the ball back of the 'varsity's goal posts The col lege team was very strong, being re. infOrced by Bloomer. who did most of the work ill advancing the ball in the tackles back play.
 But little that is of value can be learned about the work back of the closed gates. For half an hour the varsity ran through signals, slowly al first. to make sure that the men un derstood and followed out the plays and later with speed. Because the bal was wet and heavy it was not clear work. Much fumbling marred it | The bunting was done alternately by l Weymouth and McClintock, and mucl 1 time was devoted to formations for the protection of the punter. McCfn tock's work is not so satisfactory as il promised week ago. and it is uncer tain who will play the position of full back. Chances favor Weymouth, as he has improved greatly. His line bucking yesterday again was one ot 1 the features. He is the best man il the back field, despite his kicking linn itations.
