 Washington, Oct. 1.-Coach W. W. Church, who played tackle on the '97 Princeton team, has been at George town since last Wednesday and is much pleased with the material on hand. He has had thirty candidates hard at work and has been lining the scrubs up against the varsity in good, stiff practice games for the past few days.
 Princeton, Oct 1-The Tigers coach es sent their pupils through a twenty minute contest with the scrubs yester day afternoon. Three sets of backs had to be sent out from the side line before time was called, but the line men stood the strain well. As a mat ter of fact the candidates here are in prime physical condition. Not man has been injured. The varsity scored one touchdown yesterday and would have had two or three more if frequent fumbling had not interrupted their progress.
 Philadelphia, Oct 1.-Ex-Captain T. T. Hare and John Gardiner, stroke of Pennsylvania's Henley crew. will be added to the list of football coaches at the university this week and the addition to Head Coach Woodruff to teach their men the game.

 Cambridge. Octs1.-At. the. Harvard football practice yesterday afternoon two scrub elevens played two fifteen minute halves without any scoring. The work of the backs was poor. Mat thews, the end from Andover, was taken on the varsity squad. Roberts, the big guard, will not play on account
 
 jumper, will not return to college. Herman was the best punter available this year. Jack McMasters, who in vented the tackling dummy while at Princeton, yesterday brought a dummy hung on a new kind of spring hook and falls under the weight of a tackle like an actual runner.
 New Haven, Oct 1.-Ya1e's coaching force was augmented yesterday by Billy Bull, the noted old fullback, and his no less noted companion. Morris Ely, the a1afterback of the ill-fated team of s99, which played tie game with Harvard and was beaten by Princeton by a score of 10 to II. Billy Ashe received cordial greeting and took an active interest in the work of the team and put new life into VII helm, the man who played fullback in last Saturdays game against Trin- ity and proved not quite so good as was expected. Ely did not find so much to remedy in De Saulles at quar- ter and was able to give large share of his attention to the general work of the back field. Dick Sheldon, cap- tain of the Yale track team and right guard on last years eleven, was out for the first time. but did not don his uniform. Saturdays game showed E that the backs were a frifie slow in finding the holes in the line made for them and a11e work of yesterday cen tered along the practice of following the interference.
 Columbia men are offering no public excuse for the defeat of the football team at Buffalo on Saturday, but the sentiment of returning students, who Hooked to see the football practice yes terday, was against the sudden action of the faculty athletic committee, which debarred six players just be- fore the, game. When the team left on Friday every man was thought to be in good standing. When ready 10 play Captain Berrien received tele- gram at Buffalo from the faculty ath- letic committee ordering that six spe- cified men be kept out of the game. They were Weekes, halfback; A. Boye- sen, halfback; B. Boyesen. quarter back; Strang, fullback. and Captain Berrien. Sandford did not know what to do. He called ex-Captain Morley and Holman, substitute from last year. who was on his way east to Join the team. and put them both in the game, although neither had their foot ball clothes on before this year and both were soon Jagged out Neither has yet recovered.
