The Teams Are All Ready for Io-day's Gaines.
 New Haven. Oct 5.-Ragged work at | catching puntS and in tackllng char;ec- ter:zed the playing of the larger part I of the Yale squad yesterday afternoon. | T,le work of the fullback candidates has not as yet heightened into any l thing near the phenomenal mark ana
 the possibility of it's doing so seems
 very remote. Breaking through tie
 line was the burden of the afternoons
 practice with the linemen. The de-
 ticiency at this work is largely due to I tho slowness of the men in gettlng
 into action, and to overcome this dlff- clllty the coaches have devoted coll siderable time to having the men sta"t l in pairs for fifteen-yard dash at Iop speed. The afternoons lineup, whlcn | was taken in two halves, the first or l ten and the last of five minutes, was 1 a surprise to the spectators and s;i- vored of the spectacular. For the first l tina this season did the college team 1 make noticeable headway against ,sic 1 varsity on continuous plays, and f%r 1 the first time was the varsity goal in l danger by the ball in the hands of the l college men. When the men lined up l for the kickoff a material change III
 the personnel of the two teams was no- ! 1 dicteG Olcott played all the season | at guard, was in the college team as | fullbaek. Weeks. the former Andover l player, was in the varsity line at right | tackle. taking the place of Hogan, who | played right tackle on the college
 eleven which gave the latter a go at
 Goss.
 Princeton, Oct 5-The coaches have zsT I1.z YTysx l tefday afternoon they put Short, I
 freshman from St Paul's school at right guard in place of Fisher. Short
 weighs about 1SS pounds and is. ar- cording to Trainer Robinson, one of tbe best developed players physically on
 the field. He held the record as the l strongest man. at St PauPS school, iwhen he played on the eleven and
 rowed in the crew. In the game yes
 terday he was pitted against Brown, S big sophomore, and opened up five holes for the backs to plunge through. On the defensive he also did well. He has other qualities besides those ac
 corded football player, being presi- dent of his class.
 Cambridge, Oct 5-Harvard will
 play Bates on Soldiers field this after
 noon, and if the Crimsons put up the garae. that they have played for the
 last four days, they should send the
 Maine boys back to the woods badly
 defeated. The same dash and spirit
 tha5 has been showing itself on Sol 1 diers' field all thexweek was again evil dent yesterday. Coaches Waters and
 Lewis were assisted by John Cranston,
 the old center, and this trio is try;ng it's Ieyef best to get some life into the
 men, and thus far they have been fair lyi successful. The lineup yesterday
 was fight from beginning to end, al
 though the first was unable to score on
 the second.
 Ithaca, Oct 5.-The light work of 1 yesterday afternoon and the fact that
 the varsity eleven was not permitted
 to meet the scrubs in a scrimmage
 bout, is indicative that Cornell antici- pates a worthy foe in Bucknell to-day. | The signal code was the subject of | special attention, and in addition Cap
 tain Warner had small corps of kick CTS training for half an hour. In this
 work Quarterback Brewster did some
 good, work He twill be plgyed in lis position today. Davitt ~calnot play 4 again until he has improved upen1hiS
 scholarship record This decision was
 mace by the faculty yesterday. If he is prevented long from playing it may be necessary to transfer Smith back to tie list of center men, for Kent is
 now the only man being trained for the place.
 For three hours yesterday afternoon
 the faculty athletic committee at Co.,
 lumbia university was in executive
 session considering it's own rules and
 the cases of the six football players
 1r,x-o T Al H,.ox ~111 ing. Representatives from the football
 team were called before the meeting,
 and the student grievances were pre- s seated in no aune eT'taina form. s'T ermain sl,p9int at issue was tile fairness of re- Fl gently promulgated rule which debars
 a player who has a single condition ;n any of the prescribed college studies. ] The rule is without doubt harsher than , tliat at any other college, but the O.
 lun.bia faculty refuses to look at the
 matter in that light The rule was not stricken out. but the faculty com promised to the extent of withdrawing
 the applicability of the rule for this year to those men who took part in the Buffalo and Rutgers games. Every new candidate from this time on will be subjected to the regulation. The
 compromise, however, does not affect the cases of Weekes, Captain Berrien, A. BoyeSen, HenriqueZ, Strange and E.
 Boyesen, all of whom were forbidden
 to take part in the games specified. Several other rules were equally ob- ncxicus to the student body, who mail1- tained that they were unduly radical, and It was reported last night that the faculty committee would draw up 2 ? new set of rules in a few days. It is : feared that the disqualified men will f not be allowed to play against Will . liams to-day.
