PENNSY PRACTICES
ON A SOGGY FIELD

PHILADELPHIA. September %
PENIS foot ball coaches were given an
excellent opportunity yesterday afternoon
to see the candidates work with a Slip
perry ball, and the whole squad was guilty
Of inability to handle the wet pigskin
with any degree of certainty. All the
men who played in Saturdays game
were out on the field and the mistakes of
each man were thoroughly gone over.
The wet ball seemed to make little or
no difference to Hollenback and Favorite
their punts soaring up and down the field
for fifty and sixty yards. The signal drill
was long. and now that a team has been
picked to start the coaches will spend
more time in this form of practice in or
Wharton will give the line candidates d
long drill today. as the game with Buck
nell on Saturday will be severe test
on the Quaker line.
The scrimmage practice began with the
scrub kicking to the varsity's ten-yard
line. End runs by Townsend and Favor
lite and line plunges advanced the ball to
the scrubs ten-yard line and Favorite
took the ball over the line on a forward
pass. The scrub again kicked off to the
varsity. The backheld men again began
hammering at the line. and Towne made
Il beautiful forty-five-yard run around the
end and would have scored had he not
run out of bounds. Line plunges netted
the varsity twenty yards, but the scrub
raced and the forward pass was again
resorted to- making the second tally for
the varsity. The scrub was then given
the pigskin on the varsity's ten-yard line
and made seven unsuccessful attempts to
push it over, Miller finally securing the
ball on a forward pass.

BRIDES OUT OF YALE
ELEVEN THIS YEAR

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, September %
The chances are slim for Arthur Brides
Yaie's all-around foot ball star. wearing
a uniform this season. Brides was def
nitely notified yesterday that he cannot
join the eleven unless he removes the
deficiencies in his studies. There is little
chance that Brides can fill the demand
but he will pluckily try to do so before
the big games. He will not report with
the team for weeks, and the foot ball
coaches say that they regard him as out
of the competition.
Brides has two more years I'm the Yale
medical school. and his present plan is to
get completely on his feet in schola rship
this year and play foot ball next fall
Andrus, another Yale star. was unable

ten days, and 1t is now certain that he

REDS NOT ALLOWED
TO PLAY WITH CUBS

CINCINNATI, September 29.-You can
bet that President Hermann of the Reds
isn't going to get himself mixed up In any
squabble that may come UP regarding the
disposition of the silk wind ornament for
which several clubs in the National
League now are fighting and calling each
other hard names. No. stree. With his
idea of self-protection in mind, the Reds
head yesterday morning issued a ukase
to the effect that there would be nothing
doing on the local base ball meadow yes
terday afternoon in the shape of 1oust
between the Reds and the Cubs
Mr.. Hermann submitted his reason Tor
declaring off this prospective sanguinary
meeting in the following excerpt from
section As of the National League consti-
tuition: "A tie or drawn game. or game
prevented by rain or other causes, shall
be played off on the same grounds on
which scheduled during the same or any
subsequent series. the time to be optional
with the home club"
There is question in my mind, said
Mr.. Hermann, whether yesterday could
be called a part of subsequent series
as the Cubs are not regularly scheduled
to play here until today. 1t seems to me
that a game played yesterday might be
protested, and for that reason / have de-
cided to call off the postponed game.
Both teams have an off day on Friday,
and they can get rid of that contest then.
And it was ordered.

in filling the quarterback position. with
