 Teams in Shape

Yale is Crippled, Princeton Shows
 Weakness and Harvard is in Poor Condition Boomer Will Be Out for
 Two Weeks-Total Scores of Teams
 to Date.
 New Haven, Oct 23.-Ralph Kinny, Yale's giant forward returned to the Yale field yesterday for the heaviest work since his ankle was strained. He was not allowed to go in scrimmage, but was sent on a jog around the field to Timber up. He will piay against West Point on Saturday. 1t has also been decided to play OWsley at left half back instead of Mitchell. Bloomer was the only crip- pie not out yesterday. His injury gives little promise of quick repair and two weeks seems to be the short est time in which he can be expected back. Moorehead was out yesterday on crutches. Miller, who has a slight scalp wound, was sent into the scrim- mage.
 Princenton, N.s5J., Oct 23.-The Ti- gers had a very weak practice yes terday afternoon, and for the first time this season the scrub wasnable to push its way from the center of the field through the varsity line for a touchdown. The defense work of the first team was miserable. Great holes were made by the scrub through the center, where Waller was repeat edly pushed from his position Cooney also didn't guard his place as we'll as usual. and was responsible for sew eral large gains by the scrub. It is evident that the defensive work of the varsity must be greatly strengthened before Saturday, or the heavy Dart mouth eleven will work havoc with the line. The charging was high and too slow in getting started.
 Annapolis, Md, Oct 2s.-There is not the slightest suggestion that the death of Robert E. Levin. the football player of the Baltimore Medical col lege. which occurred here Wednesday, will affect the game with West Point inasmuch as the occurrence has been shown to have been simply the result of an organic weakness. and not from all accident connected with the game.
 The authorities see no reason what ever to change their attitude toward the game. A post mortem examina- tion was held upon the remains of Levin, It was found that his heart was one-third larger than the normal, that~it was+syery much dilated, and that there was an old valvular trou- ble. There was not a. bruise nor a. scratch of any kind on his body.
 
 Cambridge, Mass, Oct t23.-Harvard has gone into secret practice in prep aration for the game with Yale, and has now had two days out of the gaze of the public. The reports that come from behind the fence admit the team is doing poorly Yesterday there were but four of the regulars on the varsity All Of the res being laid off on account of injuries. Robinson, who. was injured in the West Point game. was out again and is fast re covering. Oveson, a substitute tackle who was injured several weeks ago, was out again yesterday, Meier. who up to last week was a substitute full back, was played at tackle on the var sity yesterday first on the left side of the line, then on the right Harrison, another substitute full back was placed at the left half back on the varsity yesterday. and he will be kept at his new position. Both days in secret, the varsity scored two touch downs. using tackle back plays out side the 25-yard line. All of the team play that was evident in the early part of the season has disappeared.
