Every varsity team OF Importance In the
East has been scored on in at least two games
except Yale. West Point. Tufts and Dart
mouth, aud OF these two Yale and West Point
have not been scored on at all. Dartmouth
and Tufts have been scored on in one game.
IN the West NOst's Michiganders have kept
their goal line clear of assaults OF all kinds,
and their total points for Ave games has
crossed the century mark. This Ia one reason
why the Wolverines are looking forward to
November 10 as a day on which they will
take revenge for their humiliation ON Frank
lin Field last fall. Princeton continues to
show up strongly as a scoring team and got
a fair proportion Of her big total at the ex-

win from Yale than she played last Saturday.
West Point, with its total Of n points for
I'VE games. has averaged more points a game
than has Annapolis. with its % points for
eight games. The Army's opponents, how
ever. do not average up as strong as the
Nays; The Widshipmen have had more

There is a tip out that the football rules

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. A.-Being well satis-
fed with the playing in Saturdays game, the
coaches OF the University of Pennsylvania
football team gave several OF the varsity men
q much needed rest to-day and a chance to
allow small scratches and sore spots an OPP
portunity to heal. Therefore the substi-
tutes, reinforced by Dwyer, Draper. Gal
laRher and Reagan, we're lined up against the
scrub after the regular practice In which all
the varsity men took part excepting Greene.
Rookie and Ziegler. The scrub team tore
holes through the line, ripped on good gains
on forward passes and end runs. scoring six
to their opponents two. 10 was almost
a miniature OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES contest. |
with the scrub playing I'D to date football,
while the subs were as we'll COntent6d with the |
old style OF play as the varsity has been all
season. The practice was a good illustration |
OF the superiority Of the new play over the old, |
for the scrub eleven IL a much lighter team, |
the backs being outveighed fifteen pounds |
to the man, while the linemen were In cases
twenty pounds under the varsity weight. vet
they held and charged as well as their heavier
opponents.
Trainer Murphy has decided that IL the
varsity is TO be improved his scrub must be
strengthened so as to accomplish this and he
had eleven scrub players to the training table
and daily they will receive blackboard talks
in the same manner a. the varsity. Those
