TO INTERPRET THE RULES
THE TIGERS ARE GOING GOOD

There will be a meeting of the intercoi-
legiate foot ball rules committee tomorrow
night In New York at the Murray Hill Ho-
Tel IL IL called in answer to the request
emanatins from the conference of foot ball
officials held at the Murray Hill two weeks
ago for the further Interpretation OF the
code. A number of additional questions
have arisen since that meeting, calling for
decision. All these will be discussed and
finally settled at this meeting. Most OF
them are OF minor Importance. but the
question of the meaning OF the rule prohib-
iting the drawing back of men from the
line to carry the ball or interfere is far
reaching In its significance. This will be
among the matters taken up. 1t Is expected
that with the exception of the western
members there will be a full attendance OF
the committee membership.
There will be another meeting In New
York on that night. incident to the game at
tho Polo Grounds between Princeton and

not there shall be a second umpire appoint

Cornell wants an additional official, as pro-
vided for in the rulos, hut Princeton be-
Neves the second official unnecessary and
likely to promote misunderstanding. This
amicabe difference of opinion will be
finally taken up and settled.
The Princeton team will not arrive In
New York city until Saturday morning. but
Cornell will be there tomorrow night.
Neither team will do any work to speak Of
on the day before the game. so that today 8
practice will see both elevens finally fitted
for the contest. The interest in the meet

seems to be widespread that 1t Will be one
of the best games of the season. AS the

Tigers in Fast Practice.
PRINCETON, October 25.-The Princeton
coaches kept the squad behind closed gates
until 4 o'clock yesterday. when a big crowd
was admitted to watch a most encouraging
practice for the Cornell game on Saturday.
The secret work was devoted to some new
trick plays and some special work in forma-
tiong.
When the gates were opened the varsity
and scrub lined up for a hard and fast
scrimmage The second team played a
stubborn game. trying. under the encour-
agement of the coaches. to score. The var
sity has improved. however. in the last few
days. and not only kept the ball in the scrub
territory but scored three touchdowns in
the twenty-five minutes practice.
Cooney, who is playing the best game he
has shown In two years, was conspicuous
for his clever work. and one occasion
carried nearly the whole scrub team on his
shoulders before he was downed. Daub
shows the advantage of his rest, and his
work at halfback was all that could be de-
sired. Herring. who was recently changed
from tackle to center. justified the move by
playing strong game in that important
position.
The position at right guard is the only
problem confronting the coaches. Jack
Martin. an old substitute. Weighing over
two hundred. was tried. while pitted against
Martin gave satisfaction. Hoagland was
back at right end and played a fast, sure
game.
Harvard Drill Secret.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, October 25.-Neariy
all the practice on Soldiers Field yesterday
afternoon was secret, bill" Reid the head
coach. devoting the time to working up
new plays for the West Point game. to be
played on Saturday. There was scrim-
mage fact that caused comment by all
the old foot ball men the side lines.
Hard scrimmages five times a week has
been the rule on Soldiers Field heretofore,
but 1t is plain that the coaches have
changed their policy this season and will
give the varsity eleven few hard practice
games against the scrubs.
The lineup which was used In all the
practice work yesterday afternoon Is iden-
tCdl with the one tHdt f1dTVdru Will pre-
sent against West Point. The Crimson In
that game will play with Miller, left end;
Osborne. left tackle; Burr. left guard:
Parker. center; Kersberg. right guard:
hall, quarterback: Foster. left halfback:
Lockwood, right halfback. and Wendell.
fullback.
This is the strongest team that Harvard
can put in the field at the present time,
and. while all the coaches are looking for
a hard game. they expect to defeat the SOL
diers by safe margin. Most of the time
yesterday was devoted to working I'D the
forward pass and tackle plays. Both Lock-
wood and Foster displayed splendid speed
In this work. as did Newhall on quarter
back runs.
Quakers Tie With Doctors.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa. October 25.-Jef-
ferson Medical College sent a fast team to
Franklin Field yesterday afternoon to prac-
tice with the Pennsylvania varsity team,
and the Medicals mixed 1t up with the
Quakers in the hardest kind of a game, the
result being to 6. Both colleges were
anxious to try out all their now plays and
formations, and the coaches of both teams
were allowed on the field to correct the
mistakes of the men or to advise the signal
callers in the selection of plays when the
teams were in tight positions.
