player and Wheaton's leg was bent be-
meath him twisting the knee iigaments

ise of becoming the best dropkicker Yale
has had in years. In practice he has
dropped several goals from the forty-yard
line. and Billy Bull came here and re-
manned fortnight to put the finishing
touches his work. Bull pronounced
him a kicker of unusual promise.

more and ran the team like veteran.
Regain. with Macklin, will do most of the
punttng for the Quakers this season.
Harvard, Princeton. Yale and Pennsyl-

season by the action of the faculties in
decreeing that those men who are behind
In their college work shall not play until
they remove their conditions.

University of Chicago players on vegeta-
bles only and the fact that he may take

Tibbot captured the record run of the
season in the Princeton-Bucknel game
when he travelled 105 yards for a touch
down. Dillon showed a return to form
when he negotiated a 70-yard run in the
same game.
The usefulness OF the drop kick was
brought prominently to the front in the
vania-SwarthnOre game, when
half tile points scored in the contest were
made from the accuracy OF this feature.
Three drop kicks were scored.
Boggs. who was guard on the Dart
mouth eleven last year. has entered Yale.
but under the conditions cannot play this
year. He Is practicing on the second
eleven and is good as the first eleven
guards. With Andrus. Bochel and Brides

From the strength shown by Swarth-
more there would be little regret ex-
pressed by several of the big teams If the
little Quaker college accepted the offer Of
81 100000 to abandon foot ball.
