| the coaching staff at Annapolis.

vcrsity of Pennsylvania guard. will go
to China as a medical missionary.
The Drake team. that was smothered
by University of Michigan. last Satur-
day. was coached by Heston one of
Yost's star pupils.
Coach Glenn Warner feels that Cor
nell must win from the Tigers, and if
it fails he is very doubtful if it can
win from Columbia on Nov. IS.
Coach Stage of the Chicago eleven
is seeking an emergency substitute
for Quarterback Eckersall. An injury
to the maroon quarter would seriously
derange the entire eleven.
Thus far this season the games have
been much more interesting than they
were Il year ago. There is more vari-
ETY.. more dash and closer attention to
detail on the part of spectators.
1t looks as if the coaches had decided
to revise the Yale policy of the early
part of the season, and to use the
| tackles. as well as the guards, back of
/ the line.
Because Cornell would not grant him
advanced standing from Thorp, Co
| lumbia's eX-captain and tackle. is now
! at the University of of Virginia.. where
he will enter the engineering depart
mcnt.
Every position on the Yale team
| seems satisfactorily filled except the
middle of the line. which at West Point
was too weak dcfcnsively to suit the
coaches.
The dolumbia players are making a
unique BET. 1t is two to one that they
will win one of the next three games
they play-with Yale, Pennsylvania or
Cornell.
Lainson, the Pennsylvania whom
Harvard has protested. is one of the
! high stand" men in the Penn.
medical school. and is one of the most
popular men in the university.
Thompson Of Cornell. who was re-
ported seriously injured. began play
lagain in Mondays scrimmage, and will
be in the lineup against Princeton and
Columbia. and later Pennsylvania.
Even the Philadelphia papers admit
that Carlisle WAS unjustly treated by
Saturdays officials who "stood" for
PENIS offside. and cut off Carlislcs
chances of at least tying the score.
The Princeton coaches are giving
he candidates for the team long
jog every day as a result of the burn
ing down of the Varsity training
quarters. The distance is three quar-
| tiers of Il mile.
The Middles have another tough
| proposition to down in the Virginia
| Polytechnic next Saturday. The Vir-
ginians vanquished West Point, and
| subsequent performances indicate that
| ii was no scratch victory. 1t will also
afford an opportunity of sizing up the
| i.avy and the army.
Capt. Gillespie of West Point, in
| comparing the Yale eleven with Har-
ward, has this to say. II should say
| that Yale has much more formid-
able and spirited attack than Har-
| ward, is stronger on the defense as a
whole, but weaker in the center part
of the line.
| Tackle Brown of the Columbia team
met with a mishap shortly after the
opening of the second half in the
| Princeton game last Saturday. but did
not realize the extent of the injury
until after the game. when he had his
shoulder examined by doctor and
found that he had splintercd his collar
bone.
The play was so fast in the Notre
Dame american College game last
Saturday that the only time the spec
tators saw the players was before the
game and between the halves. Just
think of it, there was one period in
the game in which ten touchdOwns
were scored in eight minutes by the
first named. That means seven and
IL half points to IL minute.
