Tigers Have Good Kicker.
PRINCETON, November 3-The Prince
ton varsity was not given a rest yester-
day. as might have been expected. but
was given short but hard period of
scrimmage- All the men who played
against West Point were on the field and
III good shape, with the exception of a
few bruises and scratches. Capt. Dillon
was at the practice, but did not take part
in the scrimmage.
The first half consisted of scrimmage
between the first and second teams, which
was played in secret No score was
made. After the gates were opened the
varsity substitutes lined up against the
freshmen and the cubs had the better
of the argument. Eddie Harris aggrega-
ton scored touchdown and a field goal
on the second string men. Cunningham
is developing into a remarkably good drop
kicker. Yesterday afternoon he dropped
fourteen out of fifteen tries between the
goal posts from the 35-yard line. The
coaches aver that this ability will give
him place on the team in the Yale game.
The only conceivable reason why he was
not sent in the West Point game when
the ball was in the shadow of the goal
posts is that the coaches were determined
to make the team rush the ball over the
line. They sent him in as soon as the
play was out of the danger zone
A galaxy of former stars is here to help
round the team out for the final test.
Among them are such men as Bill Ed
wards. 1900: Arthur Poe. 1900, of 'Poe's
run fame; Doc Hillebrand. 1900: Pell
1892. and Sheffield, 1902 Bill Edwards is
trying to get all of his famous 1899 cham
pionship team here to play the varsity to-
morrow.
