Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-10-23

lehem today to meet Lehigh tomorrow.
Both teams are confident of victory, and
1t looks like some game.
Capt. Eddie Dillon will lead Princeton's
team in the contest with Syracuse. The
forward pass Is being perfected by the
Tigers.
Capt. Spiers of Lehigh is suffering from
weak ankle. He may not lead his
team in the Dickinson game.
The Navy is said to have ! versatile
backheld when it comes to the kicking
department. That might defeat Harvard
tomorrow.
Means seems to be a find at punting
and may develop into a good substitute
for Capt. Hollenback Of Penn. He sends
the ball end over end, and it is hard to
handle.
1t is now almost certain that kid
Keinath will not play in the Indian game.
He did not accompany the Penn squad to
Winslow Junction.
PENIS coaches became much alarmed
yesterday by the presence Of a couple of
strangers at the Jersey retreat of the
team. It was thought they were there
to give Coach Warner Of Carlisle q few
valuable pointers.
Hard luck stories from the various col
lege camps keep the telegraph wires bug
zing. But it is a safe bet that all the
big elevens will have their strongest
teams on the field tomorrow
Yale has two more men on the hospital
list. and two stars at that. Fred Muir
guard. were taken from the field in car
rfages after receiving injuries in scrim-
images. Murphy got = bad blow on the
head. while Andrus again injured his
weak ankle. The varsity squad Is show
ing improvement daily, and is now play
like precision. The second team was out
played at every stage yesterday, the var
sity scoring three touchdowns.
Just what is happening at Harvard
these days is hard to figure OFT. as all OF
the practice Is behind closed gates.
Haughton is working his varsity and Sec
ond team hard every day in order to get
to come. The second team managed to
hold the varsity to a single touchdown
in two twentyminute halves of fast
scrimmage work, but the greatest part
Of the time was devoted to trying out
the varsity defense, which was again
shown to be very weak.
Cornell is waking up. and the foot ball
practice is taking on q better look each
day. In q hard thirty-minute scrimma &c
the varsity made one touchdown. the
scrubs forcing them to fight every inch
of the way. holding them for downs re-
peatedly. and forcing Caldwell to punt
out Of danger. Capt. Walder and Hurl-
burt were not in the practice work.
To take the place Of the cancelled game
with the University of Maryland a game
was played between the varsity and
scrubs at Annapolis, the scrubs for q
time being strengthened by the addition
Of G. Howard and Douglass of the coach
ing staR. The varsity managed to score
q single touchdown in two fifteen minute
halves. President Roosevelt will not be
at the game with Harvard Saturday, al
though 1t was expected he would be on
hand
The result Of having an Indian coach
was shown in the first play Of the Case
Kenyon game last Saturday. Bemis
Pierce, the Carlisle star, is the originator
Of the trick. and only the quickness of
Cases end prevented touchdown. On
the first play that Kenyon received the
ball-on a punt-Cunningham. Kenyon's
end. ran over to the sidelines and dropped
fiat on the ground. 1t was expected that
his absence from the lineup would be
unnoticed. He would have received the
ball on forward pass on the next play
II Cases end had not noticed him and
ran over and watched him.
