 NEW YORK RECORDS

It is not to be denied that track rac> ing of motor cars has its terrors and it will not be gainsaid that the con- testants over the Vanderbilt cup course had nerve with them when they did the thirty-mile laps in thirty min- utes or thereabouts in reeling off the total distance of 300 miles. But the man behind the wheel of his own car appreciates that the feat of Bert Hol- comb, Laurence Duffie and Eddie Cannon Bald in running from Chi cago to New York in 5S hours and 35 minutes in bad weather and over worse roads is no less noteworthy. The sure footing of mile circle or a smooth macadam highway oiled free of dust, do not bring the same motor. ing terrors as the winding, elusive trails and paths, heavy in sand, deep in mud, sinking in holes and rising abruptly with thank-you-ma'ms which connect the metrOpoli of the east and middle west.

PRINCETON IN SHAPE.

Princeton, N. J., Nov 10.-Eifteen hundred undergraduates marched to University field yesterday afternoon headed by a brass band, in order to show their loyalty to the football elev- en. Under the direction of a corps of cheer leaders the students practiced their songs and cheers for Saturday s big game, while the varsity and scrub played a fierce practice game for the rooters' benefit. Coach Edwards dressed his scrub eleven in blue jer- seys, stockings and sweaters with a big white .Y'' on the front. Ali the regular varsity players ran through signals, but Stannard, Cooney and Short were laid off before the practice game and watched the scrimmage from the side lines.
 The work of the first eleven was without exception the best seen here this fall. In the first half, when the first eleven had the strongest team in the scrub did not make on first down, while the varsity scored three toucn- downs. All of the touehdowns were made after long end runs by Foulke and Ritter, who showed old time speed in getting off with the ball. Herring and Daub could not gain very consist- ently through the line, and the straight line plunging of the varsity was dis appointment. Crawford and Hooker showed considerable improvement, but they both missed tackles in the open. Miller's bunting was fair, but he is not yet covering enough distance to be able to hold his own with Hoyt of Yale.

READY FOR THE BIG ONES
Yale May Have to Hustle Hard to Beat Princeton Harvard Team Not Yet in Form.

New Haven, Nov 1O-If plenty of coaching will get rid of the fumbling which at times marks the playing of some of the Yale men, they will get rid of it this week. Not in years has Wal ter Camp been seen so frequently on Yale field helping to drill the varsity into championship form and he was out yesterday longer than ever. He thinks pretty well of the team that will represent Princeton and does not hesitate to say that to win Yale will have to get the tallest hustle on that she has done this season. He had Frank Hinkey with him yesterday afternoon, as we'll as Burr Chamberlain and Raf- ferty, Murphy, Glass and Mitchell There were five hundred students at the field not only to cheer the men on, but to sing the Yale songs that will be heard in the game with the Tigers next Saturday. There was a mass meeting last night to again rehearse the songs and to listen to addresses from enthusiastic professors such as William Lyon Phelps, who told the Yale men they had the finest team on the gridiron this season, but that in Princeton Yale has the hardest football problem she has had before her this year,

HARVARD IS FAIR.

Cambridge, Nov 10.-Haryard had the hardest practice of the week on Soldiers field yesterday. For thirty minutes the varsity was lined up in crashing game against the scrub, and in that time five touchdoWns were scored.
 The afternoon was largely devoted to developing the offense, which has shown great Improvement. Brill espe- eially did good work. Brill will play against Hogan in the Yale game.
 The defense still is weak, and it is a question whether it can brace suffl- cientty within the next few days to stand the terrific onslaught of the Eli backs. Parkinson at center is very weak, and there is little doubt that he will make way for Parker.
 Schoenfuss, the big shot-putter, seems to have clinohed his position at left guard. He is playing a great game. Randall also is playing sharp at left, and Sperry at left halfback seems to be running Nichols, the old man, out of his job.
