BIG TEAMS REST
AFTER HARD BATTLES
Yale and Harvard Evenly
Matched for Great Contest.

With the exception of Yale and Harvard
most Of the big elevens in the field are
planning a week of comparative quiet be-
fore the final contests Of the year. Yale
and Harvard laid OF to all practice pur-
poses yesterday and will do SO again today,
but tomorrow and Thursday they will be
driven to the limit In an effort to correct
every possible fault before they come to-
gether for their big battle. Another rest of
day following this and the teams will be
ready to go on the field.
While Yale men are rejoicing and figuring
on the possibility of victory at New
Haven, the Yale coaches are preparing their
men for very hard contest. Foster Rock
well. who knows the strength of the men
he has been coaching, believes they have a
harder task than they had at Princeton
ahead. There is strong undercurrent of
sentiment In favor of getting Roome into
the backf1eld. One suggestion that is being
given careful consideration is the placing of
Veeder at quarter. 1t may be tried.
Tad Jones early In the year was looked
upon as star quarterback His fall down
In the West Point game and again against
Brown compelled the coaches to take the
handling of puntS away from him and give
1t to Knox. The wisdom of the move was
proven. Deprived Of his opportunities for
open field running. Jones is only to be con-
sidered in his running from quarterback
and his passing, and although this was first
class, it is possible Veeder can do this quite
as WELL Veeder is useless as halfback,
except for his kicking, but unless this fac
tor can be taken care Of Roome cannot
play, and Roome is the best man Yale has
to advance the ball, barring Forbes. Yale
will wrestle with this problem all week. and
1t is probable that Roome will get in
against the Crimson.
Harvard's team is fixed. The only posi-
BILE change is the substitution of Orr at end
for Montgomery. In defense Harvard is al
most as strong as Yale, If she lacks any,
thing. In offense, in straight running with
the ball, Wendell and Foster are nearly as
good as Yale's straight running combina-
ton. In diversified attack, the use of the
onside kick and forward pass Harvard is
much better than Yale, and her general
offense probably little better. But on
offense and defense the two teams are too
nearly equal to permit either to expect to
score so that on kicking and clean play the
issue depends.
Burr has eight yards the better of Yale's
kickers and the other details of Harvard .
kicking game are quite good as Yale's.
Yale will have to overcome this advantage.
1t is not to be expected that Yale will
have all the luck In mistakes that she had
at Princeton, but which ever side gets the
better of this will win While Yale is eX-
pected to show much stronger than at
Princeton, she will have to do so to equal
Harvard and Harvard must fall down if
she is to be beaten. .

Quakers in Fine Condition.

PHILADELPHIA, November 2O-Penn' s
foot ball warriors fresh from their victory
over Michigan gathered for practice yes
terday and every man appeared to be in ex-
cellent condition. The work was of light
order and no attempt was made at scrim-
mage work. Greene and Hollenback were
ed the squad later in the afternoon. Law
renee showed the same good judgment that
he exhibited in the Michigan game in the
catching of punts. Zeigler was worked in
CONJUNCTION with Draper in the line play.
The practice revealed that Penn had lot
of plays in reserve which were not used
on Saturday, the occasion not calling for it.
Longwell, whose knee is healing well. was
tried behind the line, as was Dyer at half
back.

read this statement to my sons,

the absurdity of the thing. We band
our trees in order to help us in our
work of reducing the ravages OF the

off about every twelve days during
the summer. When we find that no
more of the larvae are pupating we

so, for when the larva once leaves the
apple it never returns to it. But
why can't the worms be found in the
winter?" Simply because they are
hidden. Some few hide under the
bark of the apple tree if it is rough;
if there is a crack in the tree they
will wedge in there by the dozen, but
very many of them descend to the
ground and hide under the leaves or
any kind of rubbish and in the aD-

under the clods. The fact is that this
