HARvARD's LAST PRACTICE.
Students Do Everything Possible to
Encourage the Team.

With the cheers of more than 1900 stu
dents ringing in their ears. the Harvard
foot ball eleven went through it's last prac-
tice for the Yale game on Soldiers field,
Cambridge, yesterday afternoon. Weak as
it is, disheartened by poor luck and almost
without hope, the team was given a re-
ception which, for size, noise and general
enthusiasm has never been paralleled in
Crimson history.
At $3.50 O'Clock the students assembled in
a mighty throng at the Harvard Union and
marched through the college yard to Sol
diers' field headed by the university band.
Then for fully half an hour during which
time the varsity played a fast, Snappy
game against the freshmen. and the substi-
tutes and the scrub elevenS were also lined
I'D in a brief scrimmage, the noise was
deafening. Cheer after cheer swept across
the stadium to tell the team that good or
bad, win or lose. the college is behind 1t
to man.
After the scrimmage there was demon
stration. Varsity, scrub, substitutes and
freshmen all pitched in and cheered for
each other while the students in the stands
started out to cheer for all the players,
subs and coaches who have worked on the
to close when Reggie Brown. coach of
the scrub team, was carried from the field
on the shoulders of his men.
The feature of the day was the snap and
spirit with which the team went about its
work. Everybody was in every play, and
for the first time this year the team seemed
to be playing one man. Although
Squiers still remained at right tackle, where
he was shifted Tuesday the rest of the
changes made at that time were not en-
forced. This, and the fact that Brill got
into the signal practice before the game.
seems to indicate that his services will not
be lost to Harvard on Saturday, although
there is still little likelihood of Meier get
ting into the game. AS it looks now, Har-
ward will line up on Saturday as 1t did in
signal practice yesterday.
ker. left guard; Parkinson, center; White,
right guard; Squiers, right tackle; Mont
gomery. right end; Starr quarterback:
Sperry, left halfback: Hurley, right half
back, and Mills, fullback, seems to be the
probable lineup.
Neither Brill nor Hurley got into the
scrmmage, for the coaches absolutely re-
fused to take the least risk with them.
In the open practice McFadden played right
guard and Paul left tackle. These two
men will be substitutes to these positions
Saturday, with Oveson however. having
first call over Paul. eiNf4s
In secret practice the varsity showed
some improvement. although once the
second team made a Touchdown from the
ten-yard line in five rushes The strong,
tice, together with some of the new forma-
lions which the team has been rehearsing
In secret, ought to do something to Yale
on Saturday.
Jimmie Foster. who played brilliantly
against Holy Cross, played right halfback
yesterday. He is sure t. play his game
Saturday.

Last night was one of the busiest of the

around the Palace alleys, the crack roll

each other in the different leagues and this
popular resort was packed to the doors.
The District league had two matches
scheduled. and each contest proved close
enough to hold the interest till the end.
In the Departmental League the, Bureaus

the way of excellence in getting strikes.

Tidal Wave Engulfs Life Savers.

Advices from the Carolina coast are to
the effect that the New Inlet lfe-saving
station was destroyed by Sundays hurri-
cane and that several of the crew stationed
there were drowned. 1t is said tidal wave
washed across the strip of land separating
the ocean from the sound and carried the
station building away. The news was
brought to Elizabeth City yesterday by sea-
men, News of the schooner Myra w.

sci grounded last week They confirm the
fears held here that the vessel could not

report the storm washed the sea entirely
over the land separating the ocean from
the sound and say several houses were car
ried away. New Inlet is below Pea Island,
at which point communication stops. and
struction of the life-saving station there
and the loss OF life can be secured tonight.

YALE ON EDGE.
Return Of Halfback Veeder Strength
ems Dark Blue.

Yale's varsity foot ball players took their
last hard practice in preparation for the
Harvard contest Saturday at Yale Field.
New Haven, yesterday afternoon. Leaven-
worth was the only exception among the
men who faced Princeton to appear. Ows-
ley still has limp and Shevlin shows sore
ness. Leavenworth. the worst used up Of
the squad, is suffering from lameness Of
the leg muscles. but Trainer Murphy prom
Uses to have him ''fit" by Saturday.
The team was given long secret prac-
tice at signal and formation work When
the gates were opened the men were still
at practice on signals and were lined UP
this way:
Shevlin. left end; Bloomer. left tackle;
Kinney, left guard; Roraback, center;
Trip. right guard: Hogan, right tackle;
Neal right end: Rockwell. quarterback;
Hoyt, left halfback: Sam Morse right half
back: Finn. fullback.
The return of Halfback Paul veeder
through removal of scholarship difficulties
gave the coaches new proposition. Veeder
was worked long and hard yesterday, be-
ing sent into short scrinmage between
the college and second teams, as were Rex
Finn and Morse and later at punting and
catching punts under the direction of Field
Coach Rafferty, and Punting Coach Ledge"
Mitchell. He worked out In great shape.

Veeder is much better at line boring than
Hoyt. and Is a better defensive back. His
punting Is frst-class. and 1t Is very likely
that he will start the Harvard game at
left half Sam Morse seems likely to start
the game at right half and Owsley at full
back.
The biggest rally of undergraduates at
the field this year took place yesterday af-
ternoon. when 1900 students behind a brass
band marched down from the campus.

Tanglewoods to Meet Alexandria.

Great interest is being taken here and in
Alexandria in the game Of foot ball to be
played Thanksgiving day on the old fair
grounds at Alexandria between the Tangle-
wood "A. c. Of this city and the Alexan-
dria A. c. The game is to be called at 2:3o
o'clock. Manager Byram of the Tangle-
wood A. c. foot ball team will put his
strongest team in the field and expresses
his opinion that 1t will be a good game;
also that the Tanglewood team will come
out victorious. The line up of the Tangle-
wood team Is as follows:
Newton. r. E.; Byram, R. H. B.: Fee

Foot Ball Notes.

1t Is worth while remembering that no
team has yet crossed Yale's goal line by
straight rushing.
1t was wonder that the Pennsylvania
railroad was able to do so well in hand
ling the big crowd at Princeton last Sat
u, day, with only single track road from
Princeton Junction to transport some 25.-
600 people to and from the game
Heston can well afford to rest on his
gridiron laurels. Michigan is grateful to
him.
In 1854 the fullback on the Williams
team kicked fine drop kick goals from the
field In a game in which Trinity was
beaten 81 to O. Orce in Princeton game
Billy Bull OF Yale made two goals from
the field. He played in his sweater during
the entire game as in his time the full
back never rushed the ball and did only
the kicking. On the defense the fullback
played about fifty yards behind the scrim-
mage.
Harvard sends more men to size up Yale
In the Princeton game than any other col
lege sends of to look over during the en-
tire season. 1t Is only question of time
before the Harvard athletic committee will
call halt to such junketing at the ex-
pense of the athletic fund
OF course, 1t Ia not Harvafd's luck to
have q splendid kicker in just the year

Exhibition Of Coursing at the Bright
wood Track Proves Interesting Sport.


Capt Jay Thomas Vickery had a bunch
of his fleet-footed greyhounds at the Bright
wood race track yesterday afternoon, and
gave an interesting exhibition of coursing.
A number Of jack rabbits were shipped
here from Oklahoma for the purpose.
Through a misunderstanding the report
was circulated that the Humane Society
would prevent the races being pulled on
on account of alleged cruelty. This fact
doubtless accounted for the small attend
ance. although a fair-sized crowd, incud-
ing number of ladies, occupied seats in
the grand stand.
Princess Maud. Capt. vickery's $4,000
beauty, carried off all the honors. with his
dog Uncle Sam close second. Other dogs
in the races were King Edward II, belong
ing to Mr.. Samuel Gassenheimer, and
Prince Albert. owned by Mr.. J. L. Norris
In all the races except the last the grey
hounds were muzzled. to guard against
their injuring the rabbits. Officers of the
Humane Society were present to see that
the sport was not brutal. In order to DEM
onstrate to the officers that the hounds
would not injure the rabbits, in the last
race Capt Vickery took the muzzle off the
hound Uncle Sam, who caught the rabbit,
and held it with his paws. but did not at
tempt to injure the animal.
