they nave . exhibited the best
form. Their retention, however, 1t Is
said, will continue only until a heavier
pair can be found. MacGregor weighs
about 1856, and as a tackle played a good
game last year for the freshmen. He
followed the ball well, and is always
down the field with the ends on kicks.
Captain Eddie Dillon led his team
through the scrimmage In the first half.
The real work Is now being done in Sc
cret. The second half each day, which
is open, Is utilized to strengthen the
defense, straight football being used
almost completely. There is little like
lihood that in the West Point or Dart
mouth games Head Coach Roper will
vary this policy, for it Is said on good
authority hat even at the expense of
losing these two games the Tigers will
continue to play straight football with
out tricks, reserving tricks entirely for
the Yale game. The offense, however,
is being strengthened daily, and will be
let loose in the mex two games, so that
a repetition Of the restraint which was
placed on the Tigers against Syracuse
will not be seen.

there isn't so much worry o West
Point after all. McCrohan and Brede-
mus did not get into the game, Timber

The practise was easily the most en-
couraging so far. The secret practise,
1t Is said. was highly satisfactory,
manipulation of new plays being at
tended by greater progress than was
expected. The scrub was penetrated
by the varsity with ease during the
scrimmage, which vas open to specta-
tors. Three t~ouchdowns were scored
in rapid succession, two of them by
Coke and Cunningham on line plays,
and, another on a long run by Pfeiffer.
None Of the tricks or plays taught In
secret practise were,used, straight foot
ball being the order.
For the varsity, Sparks played a bril-
liant halfback. According to n of the
coaches the work of Sparks In the
backfield yesterday has been unexcelled

The report that Stallings intended to
dispose Of the stock in the Newark
Club-his own or that which he nom
tnally holds-has met with a fiat denial
rom the local manager. If Frank Far
Erell Is the real owner it doesn't seem
reasonable that he would transfer his

What is the secret of humOr and

philosophers have puzzled over
this problem, from classic times to

and people have laughed off un-
counted buttons without knowing
the reason why. If we did not
know that everything which is has
a right to exist we might con-
