/. Princeton Team Unsettled.


| New Haven, Conn. Oct. discharges
abOunded at the Yale football practice
yesterday, Left Tackle I1aTnlin being
succeeded by Freshman Fred Shevlin
from Minneapolis, Wilhelmi being given
right half back and Preston left half
Two of the cripples returned to prac-
tice after a fortnight in the hospital.
Bowman, full back. and Rockwell
quarter, who was today given that posi-
ton on the second eleven Bowman did
not line up, but punted and tried drop
kicking.
The scrubs surprised the varsity by
having the ball on the regulars terri
tory practically all the practice, and
getting it in the varsity twenty-yard
line four times. On three occasions the
second team missed drop kicks and on
the fourth they tried a place kick and
field goal. Neither side scored during
the afternoon.
Princeton, N. J.. Oct 16.-As a result
of some experiments and observations
made during the past week the coaches
and Captain Davis decided on a shalxe-
up in the line. This Shake-up is simply
an indication of the unsettled condition
of the team at the present time.
Short has been taken from center,
where he has played so far this season,
and put in left tackle. Baker has been
taken from tackle and is now at center
Vetterlein, the quarter back, has been
shifted to full back. and King, the
scrub quarter. has had a promotion to
the same position on the varsity. This
means that before next Wednesday,
when the tigers meet Haverford, new
men must be trained for four positions
Today's practice was unsatisfactory
from the varsity point of view. While
the game lasted only twenty minutes,
the varsity team was unable to score,
while the scrub line held fast and had
opening a-plenty. Dewitt was injured
and had to retire from the game, and
will probably be kept out Of play to-
morrow.
Ithaca, N. Y, Oct 16-The largest
conference of coaches and graduate
held on the Cornell field this season was
the feature of today's football work.
Coaches Reed and Morrison, frightened
by the defects revealed last Saturday,
sent hurriedly for Clint" Wyckoff of
Buffalo, a famous Cornell quarter back;
Daval, one of the Goa hes of last years
team; Schoellkopf. the star full back
in 1901, and DR.. ollard. the coach of
the University of Rochester team, a well
known Dartmouth player. These men
gathered today to canvass thoroughly
the work of the Cornell varsity and to
devise new plays to be used against
Carlisle on Saturday and against
Princeton a week later.
The practice was secret. The varsity
players are battered and badly famed.
Coffin limps, while Halliday cannot run
at all. Waud and Brewster were in
citizens clothes.
Cambridge, Mass. Oct. 16.-with the
exception of big Shea, the candidate
for tackle, all of Harvards cripples are
all back again. The playing was very
spirited, the varsity showing more life
than it has at any stage this season.
The preliminary work consisted of a lee
turing from Coach Farley for the mis-
cradle exhibition against the University
of Maine Saturday. after which the
dummy attracted the attention of all
the men. Captain Herman. Graydon and
Leatherbee constituted the back field on
the varsity and in the opening practice
period, but Graydon was soon forced to
retire from a lame shoulder The var
sity scored four times in the second,
and Marshall kicked one goal from the
field.
