condltion mas centered In the billions. Ed
die Dillon shows no ill-effects of his West
Point injury, and it is believed the rest that
Capt. Dillon has had has STAYED off any
staleness that may have threatened him.
Preparations for the other important
games on Saturday have been active.
Michigan left for the east yesterday to
meet Pennsylvania. and the Quakers were
taken away for a three-day stay at Wins
low Junction for final tuning up. The in
jury to Capt. Curtiss of Michigan and the
and Hallenback for Pennsylvania have
evened things up between the two until a
great game is looked for.
Hatchetites Ready.
The George Washington team was given a
good workout yesterday afternoon, which
lasted until away after dark. After run
ming the team through long signal prac-
tice. Coach Crowell called out the scrubs
and lined them up against the regulars
The first team had little trouble in getting
through the line or around the ends of the
scrub team. Shortly after the scrubs had
kicked Off the regulars had carried the ball
down the field and scored an easy touch
down. Gibson and Licarione. who have
been absent from the squad for two days,
were out yesterday, and the latter plowed
through the scrub line for good gains.
The coach worked Field at Quarterback
during the signal practice and STEVENSON
took up the running Of the team in the
lineup. Coach Houston had Field out for
some time, coaching him on catching and
running back punts. In the practice yes
terday the ends were used quite frequently
In catching the throw ball on a forward
pass. and they did fine work. Several new
trick plays were also practiced.
Manager Wilson expects to have good
crowd at the contest on Saturday at Ameri-
can League Park. when the Virginia Uni
versity team will be here to line up against
the locals. 1t is reported that all Of the
V1rginians are in good shape for the game
and expect to run up larger score against
the George Washington team than they did
against Georgetown, while on the other
hand the Hatchetites think just the oppo-
site. II the work of the squad counts for
anything the contest should be good stiff
one.
Fifteen Coaches Guide Tigers.
PRINCETON. N. J., November 10
Things are quiet in Princeton and the
stress of Tuesdays excitement has SUBJ
sided into calm before the final storm
What is going on behind the closed gates
of University Field is largely a matter of
conjecture. and the coaches with charac-
teristic reticence refuse to say much be-
yond that the work was very light and that
the gridiron is kept covered with straw
every night to keep it dry.
From this rather meager information the
undergraduates have to draw what com
fort they can, and for results, trust to the
team 1t is known that Eddie" Dillon is
again able to run the team, and it is prob
able that by the end of the week the re-
suits of his West Point accident will not
seriously inconvenience him. The main OBJ
Ject OF the work now seems to be to wiring
out every weakness of the team by means
of the fastest kind of signal drill. Most of
the heavy work has been tabooed and there
seems to be good reason to hope that the
threatened danger of overstraining has
about disappeared. Harlan is taking a rest
nd ocid he lirhf lit,
stays on the side lines. Fifteen coaches
guided the work this afternoon, and indi-
vidually and collectively the men are re-
ceiving careful and final polishing.
The athletic authorities are making every
effort to guard against ticket SPECTATORS
and very stringent rules have gone out
with the sale of the tickets to students,
threatening to all who sell to spectators
the publication of the offenders name and
exclusion from all future privileges in
ticket buying. One of these spectators
appeared in Princeton yesterday pretending
that he was the head of some school for
boys ana that he wanted to buy twenty
tickets to present to his twenty best pupils.
Owing to the fact that the mans cheek
bulSed with very conspicuous quid the
game didn't work very well and the enter
prising one will have to think of something
little brighter. large force Of plain
clothes men will probably be on hand the
day of the game as an additional protec-
ton.
The new stands have been completed, and
everything is good and ready so far as the
Tiger is concerned. Not very much betting
has been DONE but Yale supporters are de-
manding odds of to 4 on Princeton.
Great Work by Yale.
NEW HAVEN. Conn.,. November 49,
Yale students who marched the mile and a
half to Yale Field with a band yesterday
afternoon were well rewarded and cheers
came spontaneously. What had been plan
ned as rehearsal and as an encouragement
for the eleven developed into enthusiasm
on the part Of the spectators. They saw
the varsity score three times in fifteen
minutes in as clean a game and as varied
play as that which in midseason sent Yale
stock to par.
The coaches are glad that they decided
to have no secret work at all yesterday.
for 1t did the team good and rallied all
Yale to the support of Capt. Morse and MS
men. Field Coach Rockwell and the other
coaches say that they would have little
worry II the Princeton game were one
week later. for the Yale eleven is suddenly
getting up pace.

Tad" Jones, on a quarterback rum suuirm-
ed in and out. lodging every foot of the
twenty-five yards of his run ana scored an
other touchdown. The two elevens lined up
for the kickoff. and a few scrimma ges
enabled the varsity to reach the twenty
fve-yard mark. Veeder dropped back five
yards. and so well did the varsity rush
line hold that he was not hurried and de-
nvered field goal as accurately as If he
had a drawn rifle bead.
Burch has come along so well in a week
that he and Howard Jones are now first
substitute ends. Burch was in Alcott' :
place again. Veeder was at left halfback
most of the time. and Morse's place was
filled by Wernecken.
Newhall a Drop Kicker.

halls goal from the field in the last few
minutes Of scrimmage yesterday was the
principal feature Of the Harvard varsity
practice. For the last few weeks Reid
has been endeavoring to develop q drou

steady improvement. He accomplished
the feat from the thirty-Ave-yard line and
