There are no Glasses. Hefelhngers or
Browns az Yale In the present guard ma

There IS much interest to see what Swarrh-
more will do against PENNSYLVANIA without
the peerless dTOp kicker Crowcll in the lineup.
SWarthmore has scored on the o. Rkers for
the last TWO years. and both years CroWell
made the points. SWarthmore began poorly
this year. while the Quakers did the same
thing, but have braced. SwarthmOre il
being coached by George Brooke, and that
means a good deal In being able to meet Penn
~sylvania tactics with the same sort Of tactics,
but Swarthmore will not be in the best Of
shape for the battle. Nillanoya was TO have
Wednesday. but did not show up. which
deprived Swarthmore Of some needed praC-
tice. In addition Rowlands,. the crack end.
il out Of the game with a bad ankle: Waring.
a promising quarterback candidate. is on the
shelf with a weak ankle. and KTeuger. the
captain, has an injured arm krenSer and
when the latter fell on the captains arm.
A good deal is expected Of Barrett, one Of the
best ha lfbac ks in this neck II the woods. II
il said Of Swarthmore that the team has not
made much progress with the new rules.
The case onNDutchHLevine at Yale recalls
that OF sammy Morse in the Haryard-Nale
game last fall Dutch was ruled of for
smuggling in Wednesday, game. but doubt
exists as to whether he = ally offended. In
any event his Yale associates do not think
he did and In this belief they are supported
by the Springfield men. Many spectators
al the Harvard Yale game Of 1905 declared
that Morse did not slug. that all he did was
to shake on an opponent and that the umpire
got the wrong impression OF the occurrence,
However, whatever NAV be the merits Of
the Levine incident. laie is the fsecOnd team
this, year TO feel ne ha,t distance, to the
scribe for rough work. The Villa Nova
team was thus penaliZed in the Princeton
game. The disqualified man protested his
Innocence. A Princeton man ruled OF in the
same game also disclaimed committing any
offence.
TIKI SUS a few days ago made reference
10 the fact that Tad Jones. the Yale quarter
back. was biz by q pitched ball seven times
interesting explanation of the frequency with
which Tad was a target for pitched balls
was made to THE SrN man by Walter Camp.
Jones. il will be remembered, hurt his ankle
last year in football. tie stands at the bat
with the football ankle forward. and II
Instead Of putting the weight on IL when
stepping forward TO meet the ball the natural
thing to do was 10 step away. A all baseball
followers know, pulling away from the plate
is a fatal defect in, batting: Rather than do
this. Jones planted himself on his feet and
in his fixed position could not avoid pitched
balls as easily az he could have otherwise
He stood up there" preferring the chance Of
being hit TO the chance of not making a hit,
A TO that. being hit isn't bad business. il you
know the right spots.

CAMBRIDGE. Oct. H.. Harvard put in a
snAppy afternoons football practice to-day
under the best weather conditions the team
has had this fall; IN a twenty minute, game
with the second; the varsity scored four
through the practice. Nate Hall. who is
making a strong bid for the quarterback
position made three end run OF IL. rs and 30
Yards, while Lockwood and Foster made
several long gains outside the tackle. The
varsity used the forward PASS four times
the longest Of them being ~ yards. The
varsity line showed good speed in starting
with the snap of the hall and broke through

line. Considerable attention was given tn

stood right over the candidates and sent

more snap than on any other day this week
