All the colleges classed in the big Five"
Will meet a worthy foe to morrow, but, ex-
ceptlng the Harvard Carlisle struggle, there

weeks ago. The game of all games Will

annual struggle at New Haven. On the
same day Pennsylvania will clash with
Michigan at Ann Arbor.
PRINCETON, Nov. s.-secret practise
was again the order of the afternoon in
Princeton yesterday. With Amherst on the
Tiger schedule for tomorrow the scrim-
mage was cut short, and instead an extra
long signal practise was forced upon the
veterans. A feature OF the afternoon was
the appearance of s. Rulon-Miller, the ia
fous fullback, from Philadelphia, who did
not return to college this year, in the ranks
of the coaches.
He devoted his time entirely to the back
field, helping John De Witt drill the scor-

greater part OF the coaches attention these
days.
The long underhand toss, In which either
Mccormick or Harlan drops back from
formation, thus getting a clean throw
toward the ends. is being practised with
telling effect.
In the twenty-five minutes that limited
the set-to between the veterans and the
scrub this play proved a consistent ground
gamer, with both Wister and Brown taking
the leather. The latter was particularly
fast at getting off with the ball, and the
delft manner in which he handled the pig
skin earned him big praise from Head
Coach Roper and Rulon-Miller.
Both Siegling and Buckingham had q
chance to cover left tackle for the veter-
ans. The two are making a fierce fight
for the position, and, although Buckingham
has received first choice In the last two
games, 1t Is by no mems certain that he
will face the New Englanders tomorrow.
The coaches seem to have given up all idea
Of putting Siegling in at guard, as they
tried to do a week ago.
McFayden. the Exeter giant, has picked
up wonderfully since his scare before the
cornell game, when he was Temporarily

his old-time ag-gressiveness and speedy
footwork have returned In full measure,

Harlan got busy with his toe yesterday
for the first time this week, and put
several of his famous drop kicks between
the posts from all points of the campus.
A good deal of attention was devoted to
the place-kicking department., too, after
the conclusion Of the scrimmage.
Both Phillips and Harlan were given
several pointers at kicking off by Gresham
Poe, who is himself famous for his genius
In booting the ball. Captain Mccormick,
who had a monopoly on both the punting
and kicking of at the beginning of the
season, received an injury recently, which
put his kicking leg out of commission.
Aside from kicking. his leg is as good a.
ever, but Phillips and Harlan will have to
be depended upon in the punting depart
ment for the rest of the season. After the
tilt between the varsity and scrub had
been settled, the second string lined up
against the freshmen.
The Tiger cubs put up a clever exhi-
bition of football. and held the varsity
substitutes repeatedly for downs. Bard,
the freshman quarterback. shone out as
the star of the mix-up, and made a show
ing that pointed him as a likely successor
to Eddie Dillon next year.
